Spain said on Thursday it would do everything possible to stop Nissan from closing its main car factory in the country as angry workers burned tires and shouted “War” outside the Barcelona plant.

I have a preexisting condition that puts me at high risk to paella exposure.

You obviously know far more about this than I, but from a quick check it looks like at its worst, 58,000 people were infected in a single year with polio in the U.S. Prognosis was worse than covid, but it wasn’t anywhere near the point of shutting down the country.

He’s significantly older than a Congresswoman from Brooklyn, so...

So, a couple families got infected?

Statistics don’t lie. Statisticians do.

Or they do some off-roading.

But are they being driven 10 miles a day or 25?

Toyota’s betting on technologies other than EVs. That doesn’t mean everyone else will, and the dumb thing as a blue chip stock is to kill product introductions planned a few years down the road. Budgets will be cut and introductions delayed, but not cancelled. You need to have product to sell on the other side of this.

The S and X are due, but they’ll end up lasting longer on this generation than the 370Z has - there’s talk of work on the 2nd gen but no actual timeline. And their sales have been dropping for the last few years without competition. There’s a pretty good chance the electric F150 will beat the Cybertruck to market, and…

A single person making $100K/year would have an effective tax rate of 29% in California. Federal income + FICA comes to 22.9%.

PARC (the branch of Xerox largely credited with inventing the GUI) was founded a year after the Apollo 11 mission. The advances in computing that make units largely a non-factor now hadn’t even been dreamt up yet.

That’s still a bit after I graduated (‘06.) I noticed the Synergeering thing because the company was founded by a Clarkson alum, so at least while I was there we got some intake stuff from them. First couple years was just the restrictor, but my senior year we had a pretty slick single piece SLS manifold with runners…

I’ve spent 15 years working primarily with various parts of fluid dynamics (mostly 0D gas dynamics type stuff, but also lower speed internal and external flows,) so I have first hand experience as well. I expect the difference is that living in a culture where the imperial system is the default, all of my experiences…

If you happen to watch Free Solo (highly recommended,) they do an fMRI of Alex Honnold’s brain at one point. The amygdala...just doesn’t do anything.

Computers are fundamentally base 2 systems, so by combining your logic and the fact that every computation is done by computers now, maybe we should find some base 2 units?

The guy jumped out of a plane without a parachute. I think the looseness of his screws is pretty well documented.

Ah, the schools that had a big enough team to actually do aero. Mini Baja stole all the...wait a minute...

But the computers didn’t walk on the moon, the humans using imperial units did.
