No, wind is cold because it pulls your body heat away from you. If it was blowing out of a pressure vessel it would be even colder. If it was REALLY fast it would be hot because of friction (energy=heat), but you would have been pulverized, and also the concrete would be stripped off the ground.

Air under pressure cools as it expands (P1/T1=P2/T2). If Pressure1 is twice Pressure2, Temperature2 will be half Temperature1 (in Kelvins). Your breath is warm, so when you blow open mouthed, the air is warm, but if you blow through pursed lips, the change in pressure cools the air.

Excuse me, but Loki’s horse baby daddy is called Svathilfari, not just “a horse”

Ha ha yeah, that’s a great idea! Let’s say tomorrow all corporations stop dumping pollution into to environment and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Well you can forget about the five minute shower because now you are getting no water. You don’t have to worry about going vegan because even vegetables produce pollution in the form of fertilizer runoff. No cars, no electricity, no natural gas to heat your home. But it’s all corporations fault for producing the goods that you consume. “Why don’t they just make the same stuff but without pollution?” If they made less pollution, the cost of everything would increase and middle class people might be able to afford it, but the ones most effected would be the poor. What I hate most about this mentality is the way it conveniently passes the blame to faceless corporations thereby absolving oneself from the harm one is causing.

Marie Lu touches on this concept in her Legend series, and Scott Westerfield explores it in Extras. One interesting thing Westerfield thought up was groups of people purposely getting a low score to rebel against society. Also, every time real life starts to look like the dystopian novels I grew up with, my soul breaks a little.

Both sides need to grow up. I’ve been rejected by guys, I’ve rejected guys. If you like someone, tell them. If they don’t like you back, move on. But don’t complain about life if you’re not willing to put in a little bit of effort.

Actually, it is a lamp! We just never see it lit, so it might be confusing as to how it works for someone who doesn’t live in ancient times. It’s kind of funny that thousands of people only know the design of ancient lamps because of the Genie, like an accidentally preserved remnant of the past. Anyway, how it works is you would fill it with oil, then put a wick in the spout part. You would light the wick on fire, and it would draw oil until it was all burnt up. That design was used for thousands of years.
