Very credible

They say it like that because people are used to being billed in kWh so it gives them a reference.

I was thinking the same thing.

If we were to actually get involved, kick it off with an A-10 singing the song of it's people, and eliminate all russian forces in Ukraine in no greater than 24 hours.

If you're not willing to do that then just stay home, we've seen how the 'slow war' style goes.

To accelerate a vehicle we need to put kinetic energy into it and Power is the measure of how fast we can do that.

From a technical capability standpoint, torque is a useless measure. With a motor of a given power you can always gear it up or down to whatever torque you need (assuming a lossless transmission system).

If we take two identical trucks with 10k lb trailers on them and one's a 800ft-lb diesel and one's a 300ft-lb gas, both with 400hp, they sould realisticly accelerate and climb a hill at the same rate. The diference is the gas engine will be screaming at 6/7/8000 rpm and guzzling gas. (This also assumes no other factors like heat cone into play, the gas may not be able to maintain as much power due to cooling system designs or other factors).

Torquey-er engines also tend to feel better from a driveability standpoint but that's not representative of capability.

You were surprised by 5 but even my 800sqft house has more

K, then I got 7 since that means bathrooms and closets count

Hard water + heating elements = scale

But also, seems like it would get mildewey/moldy pretty quick, I know coffee/tea makers can get downright gross even in the water-only parts.

Microwave is going to be just as fast for quickly heating up a small amount of water, stove is plenty quick for larger amounts but I have an induction stove so it's extremely quick. If you look away, it WILL boil over. I don't see how a kettle could be quicker than my stove for the same quantity even if I had a 240v kettle, the stove is 240v but has a 50 Amp connection, compared to the 15 or 20 that a kettle would get.

Having a kettle would be one more item to clean, store and have counterspace for.

Also if someone really wanted (and it made much of a difference) you can get 240v outlets put in here. Like I said, the stove has 240v so you could probably tap into that circuit to retro-fit. But I'm not convinced it's any quicker, or easier than just microwaving it or using the stove, so nobody puts those in.

Also, like the other person I've never had a pyrex handle heat up, and even with regular mugs put in there it only heats up from the food being in it, not being heated my the microwave.
