I just can’t get over the level of societal privilege someone must have to think that releasing the video helped their cases.  It’s the absolute peak of Chad & Beckydom.

Um, you've got that backwards. For given torque, any lube increases clamping force in the joint. ( Yes, I've done torque tension testing comparing various chromate and anti seizes)

It’s actually the other way round, anti seize reduces the friction which allows for a far higher clamping load and thus a reduced torque spec. Here’s a useful link:

You’re backwards. Anti seize acts as a lubricant on the bolt which reduces friction between the bolt and mating material. This results in more load into the joint instead of being wasted on overcoming friction. Increasing torque when using a lubricated bolt with a torque spec designed for a dry bolt could result in…

I think you got that backwards. Anti-seize lowers the amount of torque needed to get a specific amount of clamping force due to the anti-seize also acting as a lubricant. An unlubricated system has more friction and requires more torque to get the same clamping force.

But yea, he should have adjusted the torque to…

Third Gear: MERITOCRACY!!! Always heartwarming to see ppl work their way up from the bottom. The American way. 

I despised running all through my teens and 20s, then around age 30 I switched to a barefoot style (ie, midfoot striking when landing, instead of heel). After a couple dozen short runs to get used to it, I was instantly 5-10% quicker than before, plus I’ve NEVER had shin splints, knee pain, or hip pain again (10 years…

I tend to get that if I stop running for a while and then get going again with my old stride, but usually waiting until it fades and going again seems to work, and I’ve run through it on occasion without making it noticeably worse. Of course, if even getting yourself otherwise acclimated doesn’t work, stride…

If you have a CD handy, pick it up, turn it upside down, and let light shine on it as you tilt it back and forth. At the right angle, you’ll see a rainbow pattern. This is caused by very fine, evenly spaced, grooves on the surface of the CD. Light wave reflect off the surface, and at the right angle, the waves…

The light is diffracting off tiny cuts that have been molded into the chocolate in such a way that it bounces off them and spreads out in specific ways meant to affect the light’s wave shape, and thus that change in the wave shape creates the color shifts you find in iridescence. It’s a little like a lenticular image…

513408 f/f

Since you asked, it would be 191 mile/hr X 24hr/day X 14day/fortnight X 8 furlong/mile = 513,408 furlongs/fortnight.

Hear me out: tiny donuts in milk.

I was getting ready to remind him that we’re still alive and people still read us! I have been exchanging e-mails with a media-rep from Falken Tire about sharing one of my articles on their site!

Welcome to the party, Rory.

You are assuming that it is the car that is not functioning properly. Much greater likelihood that it is the driver who is not functioning properly.

You take your foot off the gas.

The brakes are a good place to start!
