Ultracrepidarianism is the habit of giving opinions and advice on matters outside of one's knowledge. The term ultracrepidarian was first publicly recorded in 1819 by the essayist William Hazlitt in an open Letter to William GiffordChocolate fireguard said:langcliffe said:Wouldn't a hollow bar have a reduced capacity for retaining heat, and a greater surface area for losing heat?

You have almost doubled the surface area & halved the volume of the bars, so yes, they won't build up heat as much, but it will still get as hot if you go fast (same amount of friction).langcliffe said:Wouldn't a hollow bar have a reduced capacity for retaining heat, and a greater surface area for losing heat?
3 to 4 hours to prussik back up, but has been done in just over an hour...
