What are Cadet Bone Spurs thoughts on this? Oh yeah, he thinks veterans are suckers.

A watt is a joule per second. It is not “directly convertable” any more than mile is the not a speed just because you can divide it by an hour.

Watts are power, the rate at which you can work. Joules are units of energy, how much work you can do.

He is not fucking up the numbers. He is fucking up the units…and so are you

Watts are a unit of power, not a unit of energy. The claim is nonsense to the core.

He's dead too, so there's that!

At the risk of doxing myself, I share a uncommon name with a serial murderer. I'm not a serial murderer. So if you googled me, you can ignore that.

He is still at liberty and running for office. Those fines are being paid by his dipshit supporters and those looking to buy influence. Trump is the prime example of someone getting away with stuff.

That reference is garbage. The temperature at which a liquid becomes a gas is the boiling point. At atmospheric pressure the boiling point of propane is -44F. According to the textbook Organic Chemistry by Joseph M. Hornback, propane has a boiling point of -44° F (-42° C) at atmospheric pressure. 20F is is a problem because it is getting closer to the boiling point at atmospheric pressure so that more external energy is required than can move from the exterior of the tank to the interior to prevent bulk cooling to the the point where the tank can’t make pressure greater than atmospheric pressure.

This is the right answer. As LP gas converts from a liquid to a gas in the tank the latent heat of vaporization is provided by cooling the bulk of the liquid. Eventually, the liquid becomes so cold that it will not evaporate, it will not become a gas. You cannot use more of it until there is enough heat input to evaporate the fuel. This can happen in warmer weather when the withdrawal rate is too great, so that even then, you have to provide supplemental energy, heat, to allow the liquid to vaporize. LP gas, commonly “propane” but typically a blend of propane and butane, is difficult to use in cold weather for exactly this reason.

I get that you’re trying to be helpful, but playing the guitar well isn’t the goal. It’s ok that it is more difficult to learn as you get older, the point is to enjoy the learning. It’s unhelpful to discourage anyone at any stage of life from learning to play a new instrument or learn a new skill. Enjoy the process when you are free to take all the time you need.

Get busy! You could do all but one of those in a single day. Best of luck!
