Talk to an Armenian or Georgian that's atleast 45 and they will most likely speak either Georgian or Armenia with alot of Russian nouns. If younger Armenians/Georgian were taught the language by their parents, they will speak the same way.

I don't speak Russian, here are some Russian nouns I learned and thought were Armenian.

Kravat

Pamidor

Samalot

Vertalot

Klubnik

Izgorod

Zazhigalka

Pult

Televizor

Chai

Kukuruz

I grew up bilingual, and in my mind, the things themselves and their words are separate entities. I can imagine a thing without thinking any of the words I know for the thing. I only translate my thoughts into words when I think about saying or writing something.

It's not uncommon for languages to get blended together when learning a new one. For example, the term Spanglish is referring to a mix of Spanish and English words. The easiest way to think about this is that when you are first learning a language you are basically learning synonyms for words you already know. Your brain is often consciously translating for you when you want to speak in the "new" language. The more comfortable you get with the new language the less you will find yourself "translating" and instead beginning to speak and think without effort in the new language. My sister-in-law, who speaks a number of languages, says the true sign of fluency is when you find yourself dreaming in the new language. Hope that helps.

The gist is correct. The commenter's post is generally ok, but with glaring mistakes that could have been corrected by simply cross-referencing themselves, it loses credibility, and it gives OP and other readers just as many misconceptions as answers.

This is a problem with most top-level comments on ELI5, and on reddit Q&As generally. Check your facts before posting, even if you think you know the answer. If you make it a habit to provide links to sources, that will force you to cross-check each time just from scanning an abstract, and it will also make your answers much more useful.

Probably more accurate to say that steam produced under the lid will tend to condense on the underside of the lid and eventually run down back into the pot. It is transferring some heat to the lid in doing this, but the lid can’t radiate heat away as quickly as steam can take it away when it drifts off.

I stay healthy for your moms.

Thank you very much. :)

Thank you very much. :)

This is why teachers teach approximation. My wife is a 5th grade teacher and reminds her students to ask themselves “does my answer make sense?” Can I really pay more than I actually inherited???!!!

Another good math tip is to check your work using common sense. Dude surely did not pay $28k on a $26794 inheritance.

That's not the right method to use here. The 28 grand the person paid is just the tax, just the 4.5%, not the tax plus inheritance. The inheritance is the amount they're getting, not the amount they're paying.

The words for what’s happening is exactly how I think about it. Good addition.

This is incorrect.

Just to add a bit that helps me understand what I'm doing with problems like this - the words for what's happening. $28k is 4.5% of what? which then becomes the equation 28k=.045*x

4.5% x Inheritance=$28,000. This can then be arranged to read Inheritance=$28,000/4.5% Inheritance equals $622,222.22. Don’t forget that 4.5% mathematically is represented as .045.

You know that

T = 4.5% × H

Where T is the Tax and H the total inheritance.

To figure out the total inheritance you simply divide the Tax by the Percentage, so

H = T/4.5%

In your case the inheritance would have been 622 and a bit grand

So what's the answer?

I thuoght the orbit thing was covered and was responding to the sled.

But they are comparable in the sense that if the rider or the earth change their shape the center of mass doesn't change but from points of view not on the center of mass things appear to change.

The pressure leaves immediately, and so does necessarily some steam. Otherwise that pot would turn into a bomb very very fast. Actually very little pressure is needed to lift the lid up; one atmosphere of pressure is some hundreds of kilograms on a decently sized one, so maybe 1% of that is enough.

The lid prevents air convection that carries the hot and especially wet air away. While as one answer says the resulting circulation of air cools the water, this is not the main factor. Instead, it is evaporation. Water evaporates all the time, and the closer it gets to boiling, the faster it gets.

Water uses a lot of energy to become steam, way more than it takes to get it to boiling temperatures. Every bit of steam that escapes is enough to heat way more than this amount of water all to boiling. So you want to prevent evaporation. but the speed of evaporation depends on the wetness of the air above the water. Hence a lid, to keep enough wet air inside.

And as a bonus, it prevents circulation, which would also carry away wet & hot air. Lastly, there is also a bit of energy recovered when water condenses on the lid. Condensation releases just as much energy as vaporizing takes. That effectively improves the total insulation, meaning that less heat escapes to do whatever else outside the pot.
