What would a TWO horsepower mare be like? Is such a thing even possible?
>>43558503Preddy sure Retard Rainbow can produce several horsepower so basically you're stupid but that's a nice pic. Is that AnontheAnon? Looks like it.
>>43558503Fun fact: "1 horsepower" is a measurement that James Watt completely fucking made up. He posited an experiment which would determine how hard a horse could pull, which would allow you to fix the number to real data, but there's no evidence he ever tried to perform the experiment. Instead he appears to have taken the price of his new steam engine, figured out how many draft horses you could buy for that amount of cash, and set the number of "horsepower" the machine could produce higher than that so it would look like a good deal. A medium draft horse can actually produce something like 7 horsepower, and the really large ones a lot more.
>>43558712Jesus, what a hack
>>43558762your mom's a hack
>>43558765That's not very nice...
>>43558762You seem to be under the mistaken impression that Watt was interested in honesty or scientific integrity. He was not a scientist; no, sir. He was an engineer, and mainly interested in fat stacks of cash, and he was quite successful in getting them.
>>43558778you're really gonna diss my bois engineers like that
>>43560191Not meant to be a diss, engineers are cool, but the really financially successful ones usually have something of the flim-flam man in 'em.
>>43560191Why isn't she using scuba gear?
>>43560336Still sounds like a strange misdirection. A career con artist can also act as an engineer, a scientist, a warlord or a nun, and none of it defines or limits him. A career con artist tends to be on average more financially successful than a non-con artist, at least in short term, whether or not he also acts as something else. I suppose there may be some quantitatively measurable benefit in being a con artist and an engineer over being a con artist and investing the same amount of energy in non-engineering side projects, but I don't think I can prove it.
>>43558712The zany part is that watts were named after him even though he had already come up with the idea for horsepower, which measures the exact same thing. Fun fact: nothing is stopping you from measuring an electrical device's power in horsepower or measuring an internal combustion engine's power in watts, since both are ways of describing amounts of power, which is energy over time. One horsepower = 745.699872 watts.
>>43560360Either professional pride or she pawned it for drugs.
>>43560369Unfun fact: I used "Fun fact" like the other anon, meaning I inadvertently copied his posting style. Creepy!
>>43560381I don't mind, your fact was fun, too!>>43560368I don't think it's right to call him a con artist. He had to come up with a measurement of power to describe what his machine could do. If people got the wrong idea from him naming it "horsepower" and bought a steam engine instead of horses then that's their problem. The steam engine had benefits besides output, anyway.
