The problem is that you can’t keep catering to old stuff. If we did that we’d still have leaded fuel widely available. Or R12 refrigerant. Or a host of other things. At some point you have to draw a line in the sand and say we are making this change, time to get on board.

A big part of why lead was removed because it was incompatible with catalytic converters which were mandated by the government. The health effects were the other main driver of the change. And yes, both of those were driven by the people demanding the government change the rules.

I would think lowering the amount of fuel that cars use overall, which by extension lowers CO2, CO, and NOx emissions would be a pretty tangible and obvious benefit. It’s no more obvious benefit that removing lead was in the 70's, but we pretty much all agree that was a good move now.

Also because for max track hoonage DCT is the better option. You cannot hope to shift as fast as a DCT.

They can’t be that small, I’ve seen someone load an entire set of track tires into one along with his luggage a popup tarp and a decently appointed tool collection. Granted he was using the back seat as well, but still.

I once ran over my left foot while self push starting my e36. While I was jumping back in the car my heel somehow got under the car and caught while my toes were still on the ground. The car’s momentum forced it to go up and over my now vertical foot until it rolled far enough forward for me to get it back out again.…

My e46 was at 236k on the OG starter with zero start failures. It only got replaced because I blew the engine and it didn’t seem like a good idea to put a 236k mile starter back in the car after pulling the engine.

The picks themselves are not the issue. I’m saying the Brown’s issues point to the constants, which would be it’s ownership. If I take a draft pick and give him a bad coach with a poor supporting cast I can make him look horrible, regardless of his actual talent level(see: Jeff Fisher and Nick Foles. or Jeff Fisher…

If it was just a couple guys and a few years, I could attribute the Browns terribleness to bad luck. But it’s 2 decades of failure. Since the return of the Browns in 1999 they’ve had 2 winning seasons and 1 playoff appearance, which they lost. They’ve managed 4 wins or less in 10 of the last 19 seasons, and finished…

I’m just guessing here, but his tactics likely revolve around judicious use of the loud pedal. That or some sort of teleportation device.

Subsonic might actually be better in the long term. Sure the initial hit and fallout will be worse, but it’s more likely the core will remain intact rather than potentially break apart, which makes cleanup easier.

You aren’t going to use this thing to deliver anything other than nuclear weapons, and any weight used to shield the reactor is just more payload you can’t carry. On top of that using a heat exchanger is going to lower overall performance. Given that you are already OK with dropping a collection of nuclear warheads on…

or go the other way and call it a motorcycle.

Even if it’s just weeks, it’s still going to cause massive fallout if you don’t shoot it down.

Because it makes it less efficient and the radioactive exhaust is part of the weapon. Also because making the exhaust clean would require the reactor to be shielded, which would likely make it to heavy to deliver a meaningful payload.

I think you are underestimating the fallout from a nuclear reactor essentially ablating itself out the exhaust of a ramjet on a missile travelling at hyper sonic speeds a couple hundred feet off the ground. It is literally spewing atomized reactor core out it’s exhaust until such time that the core reaches is no…

You’re still better off shooting it down. Something like this can literally fly for years on end. If you shoot it down there is a decent chance the reactor will make it to the ground in one piece and while it’ll really suck for that specific area, you can clean that up and in a few decades things will be OK again. But…

Because when everybody and their sister knows you have a massive dick you don’t need to get into a dick waving contest to show how much you are packing.

To keep it short, you cram a bunch of air through an unshielded nuclear reactor and your thrust is due to the thermal expansion of the air. It will keep running as long as the reactor can stay critical. The exhaust air is radioactive and contains small amounts of the core itself

If Danica was willing to race with the backrunners I’m sure she’d be welcomed to race with them. She just isn’t going to get another invite from a top-tier team because her race record just doesn’t match what they expect. In 191 NASCAR races she had zero wins, zero top 5 finishes, 7 top 10's and a single pole. Her…
