Yeah, Bluetooth is nowhere stable and consistent enough to justify getting rid of the headphone jack. I ran into this issue when trying to use Bluetooth headphones while my phone was in my back jersey pocket. That’s no more than 3 feet at the very, very most yet it would stutter constantly. I’m all for new gadgets and…

In the absence of friction and heat transfer, the compression and power strokes undo each other. So in an ideal model the power stroke would return the air to the pressure/temperature it was at during the intake stroke. To my mind this means a thermometer inside the cylinder would see: Intake temperature -> compressed…

First, I read nearly all the comments made on this thread, including the ones you made. It appears I was confused and thought your argument was a way more detailed version of the one someone else made about compression strokes, my apologies.
My background is in physics, and my understanding of engines is not very…

OK, where does the work go? If work was done, I, or a physicist, can measure/calculate the end energy state of something and confirm it.
Energy isn’t being created or destroyed when a car engine brakes down a hill - so where is the gravitational potential energy going, if not into the cars kinetic energy? It’s almost…

I don’t think that is quite right. Net result of no work being done on the gas — but in a non-adiabatic system heat can transfer in and out of the gas.
I predict that if you measured the engine temperature of a car that was engine braking with throttle closed from an initially cold start the engine temperature would…

No, he’s right.
You’re correct that the compressed air gets hot — but it takes that heat with it as it enters the exhaust side. It doesn’t have time to transfer much heat to the engine itself — and even if it did, it wouldn’t matter since the engine is designed to work with exhaust that is heated not just by…

mass hysteria!

One of the more interesting things about this story is one you only touched on. KHOU’s station was flooding and the staff had to move upstairs to continue broadcasting. However, the entire station soon lost the ability to send anything out to the transmitter and the station told Brandi that “she was it, you’re all we…

I blame Tesla for calling something “Autopilot” when it is in fact, just adaptive cruise control that keeps you centered in the selected lane.

another fake-reviewed mattress topper?

You know what? Fuck those commenters.

If you can afford it, I’d highly recommend taking the plunge for a therapist over these digital solutions. I started a couple months ago and have been meeting with my therapist once a week, and while it was terrifying going to that first meeting, it’s actually been a lot easier than I expected. Each session feels like…

Just a pet peeve, but if it’s magnetic, then it’s probably not “solid” wood...

Polls like this always seem like a bad idea to me. It’s very unlikely for anybody responding to have tried all 5 of these headphones (or even most of them). So people end up just voting for the one that they own even though they have nothing to compare it to.

No fucking shit! I had my abortions because I didn’t want the babies. Full stop. That is my right.

Not as crazy as that Russian dude lane splitting in Moscow on a Yamaha R1, at WOT.

Looks like a grab and run repossession. He’ll likely square it away once he is out of sight of the very recently previous owner.

Code knocks the RGB set to $14.99, not $11.99 unless I missed something.

get new smoke alarms if they go off from steam bruh
