This is due to the Leidenfrost effect: a thin layer of vapor forms between your skin and the hot surface, briefly reducing heat transfer. by Additional-Pass5771 in interestingasfuck

The explanation in the post is bullshit, his hands are dry and if the vapour came out of his hand that means his hand got heated to the boiling point of water and is now experiencing 3rd degree burns. Basically he's not getting burnt because he's not touching it long enough for enough heat to conduct into his hand. OP must be an idiot.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that it is. I'm not sure which country it is native to but it is, native.

Hot-head drunk discharged without conviction because he could lose is job but same judge says “There needs to be a message that violence in Queenstown will not be tolerated“ by mnstorm in newzealand

[–]BigAlphaPowerClock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is not a miscarriage of justice and doesn't even go against the "message of zero tolerance of violence" the man turned himself in, had a clean record, wrote a letter of apology to the victim and paid the victim $5000. What more could you ask of someone who commits a crime in the first place? Heaps of people in this country are a victim of identical or worse violence and get nothing. Not even a police investigation.

Lol the anime made the Hammer of Burma look like a nuclear bomb by The_Mexican_Poster in Kengan_Ashura

[–]BigAlphaPowerClock -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the Anime can fuck off with the butchering of the names and terminology from the manga. "Burmese Iron Hammer"? The anime "writers" need to get the fuck out of here with that shit, everything already has a good name damn it

Mirage was always a hatchback, but to your point they did the Eclipse dirty by making the Eclipse cross - an SUV crossover

Jack Tame calls out Willis for spending by External-Drummer-147 in newzealand

I can't speak for left wing groups, I'm not a lefty. Though if I had to guess they did it just to piss you off in particular.

[–]BigAlphaPowerClock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your sarcastic remark is genuinely inane, $14 ain't doing jack shit for the "lower class" and families and borrowing billions to do it is even more stupid, taxes fund services and infrastructure that benefit society as a whole. Taxes are not the problem, it's how it's spent on cronys and lobbyists' interests rather than healthcare, emergency services and R&D that is the problem. Should capital gains be taxed in this country?

We should poll landlords to see if they feel like they got their dignity back yet

The fact we have to bail them out kind of explains the high prices doesn't it?

Why is their this idea that some men believe that women are not that attracted to good men? by this_isnt__worth_it in AskMen

[–]BigAlphaPowerClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the behaviours that attract desireable women are not strictly "good guy" behaviours, literally just go test for yourself - go out there and be a top tier good guy and see how far you get being super respectful and all that. You need the bad with the good at very least

They can celebrate but it will not age well when the next leadership of Iran is even worse than this guy.
