In the 70's my parents drove us around Europe in a VW Bus which had a floor installed half way up. Beneath it was luggage, on top were mattresses and 2-3 kids roaming around.
It seems to me that the weapons industry of USA does a fine and pacifist thing by making war prohibitively expensive. Thank y’all!
Reading this makes my swedish heart smirk.
How important is “arriving” to you at this point in life?
Once in a while I get a notification that someone clicked the star or replied to my post, and when I scroll down and see yours I get a hearty chuckle every time.
I think that the truck in the display is quite skeuomorphic.
I had to search, but I found it!
In a SciFi book I once read, humanity encounters an alien which is busy building some huge, incomprehensible structure in space.
I love the “V8 formfactor” of these.
I see your comments below, and you can all kiss my ass to the sound of Judas Priest.
Oh, that is absolutely gorgeous.
Possibly it is used like a low-pressure turbo on some cars - to smooth out the torque curve by boosting a bit more in some register and a bit less in another. So that they can brag about “95% of the torque between 3000-9000 rpm” or some such.
Torque delivery should be predictable and linear to throttle input.
Ah, thx.
I’ve never purchased a new car so this is foreign to me - but the numbers are strange. Does this actually mean that there are like 1.36-2.5 errors per car on all new cars?
Then again, loads of people put turbos on bikes and seem to do fine. At least on the straights.
Consider the impact on your chosen curve path when you twist the throttle slightly and the torque suddenly doubles after a one-second pause.
Are you aware that “penultimate” means “second from last”?
How much is that in olympic swimming pools? Or national libraries?
