If they are anything*, it is velocity. Its not heat - air doesn’t start hot, get cold as it goes through a radiator, then heat up again as it goes through a low pressure zone (roof). Pressure is possible, but would require the user to invert the color map to make red the lowest value and blue the highest. Even then,…

nother feature that FoMoCo says helps accomplish that same task is the six square-foot hood vent (with a removable rain tray), but in addition to reducing lift, it improves powertrain cooling by reducing pressure aft of the cooling module.

Engineer of an entirely different discipline here. Are the colors representing pressure, wind speed (related to pressure on those surfaces I suppose), or heat (also related to pressure via density?) in the string models? I am assuming pressure based on my (very limited) knowledge of fluid dynamics. If heat, I would…

Typical engineer: the driver should know how tall their bus is and they would never intentionally drive into a structure without proper clearance.

With the added bonus that gasoline leaks will drip down away from the passenger compartment and CNG leaks will float up away from the passenger compartment.  Putting a CNG tank under the floor of the bus makes as much sense as putting fuel on the roof of the bus from a safety perspective since CNG is lighter than air.

when did putting a whole a lot of explosive compressed gas next to the heads of 50+people become a good idea?

CNG buses are really exploding in popularity these days. 

I’m actually not very worried about “once we all rely on software,” but I’m terrified of the transition, where there’s a mix of self-driving cars and human drivers. There is no way in hell any software can account for what utter, unpredictable dipshits we humans are.

Dealers don’t do that anyway. They paint with broad brushes. They’re in the business of replacing huge parts, for various reasons. I’ve had dealers want to replace $700+ parts that I’ve replaced just a sub-component without issue. Even a Toyota dealer with a Camry, or a Ford dealer with an Explorer, for example, if…

That, and that they spent more time diagnosing the problem than flying the airplane. The relief pilot kept stalling the plane instead of flying it - the captain noticed it too late (per the CVR transcript).

Man, supra owners are going to have a GREAT time with toyota techs working on their BMW engines....

One of the highlights of my life was going to a Knicks game and making a crack about Anthony Mason’s weight that made Sam Cassel laugh. And now Mason’s dead and it might be Sam Cassel’s fault.

But, like, also they’re wrong 

I’m reminded of this story from Allen Iverson about walking into Villanova in college and seeing some guys in prison jumpsuits with a sign saying “Allen Iverson: the next MJ OJ”, and how JT3 reacted.

I wish players/coaches would do this more

Wait, so you’re telling me a company who won’t even list the price of their cars on their website without accounting for some nebulous “gas savings” is misleading us with their statistics for online vs in-person sales?

And companies know this, and could care less. Lose a little profit but make it up in volume sales. Managing a large company is a constant risk benefit analysis at every level. My friend is an amazing AI software programmer, working at the “skunk works” division of a MAJOR U.S. telecom company. For fun, he created an…

Nope.

This is why sales people are usually cunts. They have to have certain character and personality traits in order to succeed in that profession. Damn.

Wow, I watched a guy that sold Chevys in Oklahoma light the showroom on fire for what he thought was the dealer keeping $2200 in commissions from him. He went to jail so not sure if he felt it helped his cause. He walked in with a 5 gal can of gas calmly took the lid off and poured it all over the floor and a car in…
