So, you think rust isn't iron?

Yes, this is aluminum, just as ruby and sapphires are states of aluminum (technically corundum, the technical term for aluminum oxide) but because this is not naturally occurring they were smart to make the chemical composition it's name, AlON (aluminum, oxygen, nitrogen).
You make a new useful compound, you can name it whatever you like. ;-)

Can we really call it transparent aluminum? I mean, then its also solid oxygen! at room temperature!

Red Transparent Aluminium! aka Ruby
Blue Transparent Aluminium! aka Sapphire

AMAGAD. WHAT IS THIS ON MY KITCHEN TABLE? TRANSPARENT SODIUM!!?!??!?!?!1

I buy a 1 litre coke zero then reuse it for a water bottle for a few months until it gets lost or cracks form or something. I laugh at people buying those ridiculous aluminum and unbreakable plastic water bottles. They're just making a statement. My bottle costs me $.10 if I lose it, not $20.

Aluminum or aluminium?

I don't know, would wear a ring made out of platinium?

Holy Fuck!! Google "Trump Bonwit Teller":

New York Times:
"Plain as the building might be, the entrance was like a spilled casket of gems: platinum, bronze, hammered aluminum, orange and yellow faience, and tinted glass backlighted at night. In 1929 American Architect magazine called it “a sparkling jewel in keeping with the character of the store.”


"Upon learning about the historic building’s imminent demolition, and recognizing the cultural value of its ornamentation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art convinced Trump to remove portions of the historic facade and donate them to the institution."

"Soon he was backpedaling, after realizing that it would take two more weeks and $32,000...to properly take the reliefs off the building. Using his fake alter ago, a “Trump spokesperson” named John Baron, he told the New York Times in 1980: “The merit of these stones was not great enough to justify the efforts to save them.” His construction workers chopped up the metalwork with torches and let the sculptures fall to the ground to crack into smithereens."

Two, 15 foot high, irreplacable, Art Deco bas-relief sculptures smashed by Trump to save $32,000 in costs to remove them.

I don't mind heights when I know I'm safe (looking off of high buildings, etc) - what really gets me though are aluminum ladders...man those things feel so unstable lol. A nice stiff fibreglass ladder is fine though. Weird.

From the comments in 2009 when this crash test was first released, they won't believe it. People said that it was "obvious" that they had removed bolts and the engine from the Bel Air and that a real crash wouldn't go that way.

Even faced with evidence that modern cars are stronger, they will still say things like:

Engineering improvements or not, the sheer weight and gauge of metals used in the 50's is far superior to the aluminum foil they make cars out of now.

Looks very cool and I want one because of that, but it seems like a massively inefficient design for something where efficiency is pretty important. Why the steel frame? Why not aluminum or one of those fancy bike alloys if aluminum isn't strong enough? Why the big wheels and fat tires with all their extra weight and increased rolling friction just for the sake of aesthetics? The minibike layout does seem pretty good for an electronic bike though.

Totally fake. What he was calling a hardened steel tool was clearly an aluminum billet. Adamantium could totally cut that!

It's weird, I can go up to the observation deck of the CN tower, stand at the edge of a cliff or building without any issue, but I feel nervous as shit hanging Christmas lights using an aluminum extension ladder (which never seem stable). lol. I guess as long as whatever I'm standing on is secure and stable, I'm good.

With that said, no way in hell would you get me doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40F8mALRukA
