Circa 2010, I wonder what happened besides greedy patent holders? http://twostrokemotocross.com/2010/09/two-st…

Seriously? If they had the power to remote only control and divert the flight, why not just send it on its original course to land in China? Terror diverted.

No, there is no oil or sump at all in a traditional 2-stroke engine. They are lubricated by either pre-mixed oil or oil injection in the intake charge, which is drawn into the crankcase on the compression stroke. Assuming the carb or EFI is engineered for it, a 2-stroke doesn't really care which way you orient it,…

I have wanted to do this forever:

Nonsense, all you need is a transmission that can keep it in the powerband and harness all those RPM's, NOT a slushbox: SMG, DSG or CV.

There are old 2-stroke golf carts that literally implement reverse by reverse-starting the engine and running backwards.

I don't doubt that at all, I know of several stay at home dads. It's not intended as a knock on the ladies, but this stereotype is HIGHLY accurate where I live LOL. Maybe someday when we get a critical mass of stay at home dads, the SVT Bronco will become a reality!

The sad reality is that the majority of SUV's are sold to soccer moms for mall crawling. Just as they do not want brown, diesel wagons with a manual transmission, they do not want a real 2-door truck with a real 4wd system and truck frame. They want jellybean-shaped lifted lumbering station wagons with automatic…

I bought a base Supercab Raptor, the interior is pretty plebs amongst other Raptors, but it's pretty damn nice compared to your average F150 XLT 4x4.

Actually, my sarcasm was quite successful since you indicated it as such. All of these reasons in the thread: diffusion (similarly: the reason aquatic life doesn't suffocate in an unsealed vessel of water), actual passive vents on the cabs of vehicles and this is still some unsolved mystery? It has nothing to do…

You're right; those PASSIVE (hint: no fans) vents diffuse no air and people suffocate in stationary vehicles that aren't running all the time, as evident with all the incidents in the news.

Stupid Kinja on mobile bounced my reply to the wrong comment. I was referring to these passive vents that are present on the cab of every modern vehicle, as someone else posted.

"wherever uneducated and generally misinformed people hang out."

I guess you haven't seen a car missing a bumper or a truck missing a bed, have you?

One of the experiences I had where kids weren't being mildly annoying on a flight was one with heavy turbulence. There was a row of 4 kids and they were all pretending that the heavy turbulence was a rollercoaster ride, laughing it up instead of being passively terrified like the adults around them that they didn't…

You forgot the adjective between one and trick!

It will usually just fragment, or buffer, drop and retransmit. It might work well enough that you may not notice, but you should benchmark before and after on various I/O types to confirm that the jumbo frames are more efficient in each different implementation, sometimes they aren't and if it's done wrong they…

Don't ever change the MTU size without fully understanding how Ethernet framing works. The settings need to be appropriately adjusted from end to end for it to not severely and negatively impact performance. Some hardware does such a poor job (and I would expect consumer gear to be not great) with jumbo frames that it…
