The CEO's name -- Albert Einstein.

a cubic meter per minute is what the firehose outputs, so thats over approximately a dm^2 not an m^2

which comes out to a 500m high column

Rain is usually calculated per m2.

No, it is a one dimensional number(excluding time) that works for any area. If you put two containers down in a rain, one 1m^2 area and one 1dm^2 area, both will collect water up to the same level.

Yes there will be 100 times as much water in total in the large container, but the height when spread in the container will be the same in both.

concentrating the water fall from a 1m^2 area into an area the size of a firehose is not how rain works. Rain happens spread out over the whole area.

i cant do maths apparently

I assumed a firehose per area the size of a firehose edit: some quick googling says a 6cm firehose dumps about a cubic meter per minute, which works out to 500 meters of water per minute if we measured it like we measure rain.

30ft per hour is about ten meters per hour.

Yeah, no I would not say that is like a firehose.

remove the "just" and I'm with you.

is it so hard to believe ops parents are 60+ ?

how can she be 59 if she was born in 64?

edit: I'm stupid, I was sure 2024 was last year...

born between 46 and 64 according to wikipedia.

Meaning the last boomer will turn 60 just this year.
