Most people make two mistakes when trying to understand this problem. The first is to simplify the system down to  a single spoke. The second is to ignore the most important piece of information- the spokes are pre-tensioned. Don’t try to think through this on your own. Read what Jobst Brandt wrote about it. There are…

Read “The Bicycle Wheel” by Jobst Brandt. He did the finite analysis to prove that the hub does not hang by the spokes, it is supported by the bottom spokes. It’s counter-intuitive, but true. On a wheel with welded spokes (like the wheel in the video), the bottom spokes increase in compression when weight is applied.…

What rural area do you live that you can't? Being within 100 miles of a major metro isn't rural.

Hey Bradley! This is unrelated but speaking of sharp GM discounts we bought a 2020 Regal TourX a few weeks ago and we love it! I know you’re a fellow owner and just wanted to share that I understand your feelings for it. We wanted something that was low enough for our dog to jump in, fuel efficient, had memory seats…

I don’t understand people that think like this. It’s as if the company has done something to you personally that makes you spiteful.

If “strong education” was a solution, this would be solved already. Reality is that anti-vaxxers are already actively ignoring science and believing only the things the confirms their flaw POV.

The cable ends might be different but with an adapter you can plug just about any device into just about any USB charger.

We’ll discover it in the early 3000s.

“People seem to forget that trade schools are...”

You guys all need to try living in other countries to experience for yourself. For someone who has lived in Asia, Western Europe, and now US, i can honestly say that the Land of Opportunity is real, but what they don’t tell you after that sentence is “if you make it to the top”. in every other European country or even…

This definitely qualified as an “Ok Boomer” comment. Pretty much any job that pays above the poverty level requires a bachelor’s degree. Also, most trade school jobs will pay much less over the lifetime because those positions will not increase in pay until many years of experience have been accumulated. The cost of…

You make some good points that people are overpaying in part for a “college experience” in addition to just the education, this is true. They want the degree and the crazy drinking and sex fantasy camp that is undergraduate life on campus. I’ll give you that.

You are not entitled to free college.

“Most of the US budget is spent on social services.”

Those same purchases always showed up at the brick and mortar store in boxes as well, you just never saw any of them because they were thrown away in the back of the shop. It’s also much less polluting for one single UPS truck to drive around a street giving everyone their purchases than for literally every person on…

Seems like you dont have the proper cat to box ratio. Maybe consider getting more cats to balance it out. lol

Also, should count as sacrilege  to use metric fasteners on a Formula SAE car.

The 13mm socket as well.

In a given second you pass X number of dashes, therefore you are moving so many feet per second ie. MPH?
