When ever you use the brakes, it's all sliding friction. Only difference whether it's rubber/asphalt or brake disc on pad.

If you're looking for a contractor, you could try contacting a nearby lumber yard. I'm sure they'd be happy to steer you towards their better customers.

As Jim Cramer would say, you can always find a bull market somewhere. Way to go.

Montoya was running second when he ran out of fuel on the last lap. Explain to me again how that makes him "last place"?

The single frame preview doesn't really help.

"DSLAM", if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about when you're talking to your ISP.

Also logs where you're going.

And yet people wonder why there's no faith in the police. They're actively creating a divide between law enforcement and civilian.

Electric cars. Pisses me off every time a manufacturer declares they're innovating the future. No, electric cars existed over a century ago and they sucked, compared to their ICE counterparts.

Simpler in principle, maybe? IDK, always thought it was easier to explain how a jet engine works than a turbo'd engine.

Simplified in the fact it's basically a linear design, instead of a snail, plus the combustion happens inside of it. And yeah, idle to full thrust is a 10 second affair.

Jet aircraft are basically powered by simplified turbochargers. And yes, they are pretty much the most efficient (power-to-fuel consumption) engines in existence.

If it was "NASCAR style", Mercedes would have been fined for "actions detrimental to the sport of open wheel racing".

I really want to get my own house so I can invest in CNG conversion. They burn incredibly clean, only outputs are H2O and CO2, IIRC. As result you don't have carbon getting past the piston rings into the crankcase. Also less carbon in the heads which helps several hundred miles later. It can take much higher…

Yes, there's no throttle body so they use a Jake-Brake. TBH, I have no idea if a VW TDI has it.

Probably the most incredible thing in motor racing history. Hard to believe no one had a problem with pit road sharing the straightaway.

You mean a pi.

Eh, it was before my time. Not saying I'm 14 but it was before I would bother thinking about something like that.

Fucking batteries. There needs to be Tesla coil powered Teslas.

Yes, but no one's trying to say the US didn't go to the Moon. At least anyone worth listening to.
