No reason to suspect that you are incorrect, just wanted to add that I’ve accidentally over powered a capacitor before, and a loud pop is how I would describe the RUD. Caps could be in any number of things in the electronics.  So maybe not conclusive evidence of the fuse.

“it’s a lot more fun being able to cycle through the gears and have the satisfaction of shifting up from third to fourth (the best gear change)“

Rhetorical question?

Yeah, except I would guess they have a lot more start-stop cycles then a non-hybrid engine with similar mileage.

I think you mean the √-1

“Let this be a lesson, people! When hauling your decommissioned passenger aircraft, always double check the bridge heights and the height of your rig before you set out!”

Or...

Yup, developing countries like Newark, New Jersey.

Counterpoint to your counterpoint, it is tremendously easy to set up offline maps in Google Maps. Presumably it is a similar situation for Apple Maps.

For what its worth, fabric covered frames were good enough for some airplanes, like the Bellanca Viking.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellanca_Viking

Funner fact, growing up my family had a second-hand 56 inch CRT TV.  We called it The Volkswagen.

Counterpoint, after living in England from 2015-2018, arriving back in the U.S., wife and I sought out only small diesel engine vehicles because of how much more pleasant they are to drive. Tons of torque, sips fuel.

American who use to live in Europe here.  Many European credit card readers require that the card default to pin (US is only a couple decades behind in financial security here).  So while many US credit cards allow you to set up a pin as a secondary verification, for many card readers over there the card won’t work…

I took this picture after my wife and I spent about an hour poking around the car with a museum curator.

If you really love car cutaways, I highly recommend seeing the MGB at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, England http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/cutaway/cutaway2.htm

I disagree, the ramp up in technological advancement, when viewed on a planet formation timescale is less than a sliver. Any minor variations in development early on could have unfathomably large impacts on technological development timelines later on. That primordial soups cooks a little faster somewhere else and…

As a college student in Colorado trying to get home for Christmas break in 2005 (maybe 2006?), I arrived at Denver International Airport just as a massive snow storm hit. Me and all the other poor saps at the airport got to spend the next 3 days together while the national guard trucked in food to keep us all from…

At this age, treatment by previous owners is much more important than country of origin. Much to my disbelief and disdain, our 71 MGB is dead reliable and our 68 Camaro is a complete lemon.

I think MGB parts are abound more so because of British Motor Heritage and the MGOC than commonality with Japanese cars
