Many modern turbochargers operate at pressure ratios very close to 1:1, unlike older units that operated at 2:1 or even 3:1 (3x the exhaust pressure as intake pressure). At 1:1 ratios, the engine doesn’t have to “work” to push the exhaust out any harder than a n/a engine because the boost pressure is “pushing” it out…

Any adult who sits like this at a restaurant is a lunatic:

It can breath just fine with the turbo and intercooler connected. The turbo will still spin on a small engine, it just won’t spin fast enough to start producing positive pressure. Even if it doesn’t spin, air can still go past the turbine and compressor wheels when they aren’t spinning. Even on a normal sized turbo…

Yeah, when you combine two things: diesel’s don’t have throttle plates and they run on oil, you have this sort of problem when things go wrong. Once the turbo seals start leaking oil into the engine, letting off the throttle pedal shuts off the flow of diesel but it doesn’t shut off the flow of oil through the turbo.…

There is no rule that says the player has to shoot perfectly straight up and down. Actually, the modern shot is taught in a manner where you land closer to the basket than when you jumped with the feet angled a bit sideways, contrary to how it used to be taught to go straight up and down with feet pointing towards the…

The 4 cyl’s don’t have to operate at nearly full load to drive a car under normal conditions. It takes somewhere around 35-50hp to drive a vehicle at highway speeds at steady state. It takes more to accelerate but it does not take anywhere near full load (wide open throttle).

WTF do you mean Ford has so far been more…

That’s not how knock dependent timing retard works though. It doesn’t retard timing globally (under all conditions like turning a distributor in an old vehicle), it only retards it under the conditions knock was detected. Since knock would only be present at high boost (most likely around tq peak) which is not a…

Gotta lubricate the bearings somehow...

It can certainly be an “oops” aka an accident. It’s not an “oh well” and I never said it was. A man was shot and the officer lost her job so clearly it wasn’t an “oh well”. The victim just needs to own the fact that he spent 7 minutes begging for it to go as bad as possible and unfortunately it almost did (he’s alive,…

That’s fine, but lets not ignore the victims actions as having a large effect on how all of this turned out. Had he not acted like a moron for 7 minutes and complied he wouldn’t have been tased or shot. Instead he decided to pull out the “what not to do when pulled over” handbook and disobey every piece of advice. 

Sure, you can be upset/outraged about it but it’s nearly impossible to train away accidents so how about focusing the outrage on the blatant murders rather than the accidents? Also lets focus on the instances where the victim didn’t spend 7 minutes doing everything he could to make sure the situation ended as badly as…

You can certainly be outraged by her shooting him. It wasn’t justified and was likely accidental but is still happened. Just don’t act like this idiot didn’t spend 7 minutes begging for bad shit to happen. He had about 50 chances to chill the fuck out and take his ticket but decided he’d rather be an idiot every time…

Where is this “right to travel without a seatbelt and if pulled over, to attack a cop” written at? Both of those actions are against the law therefore he has no right to do either one. You (he) may want to believe you’re free to do whatever you want but the world doesn’t work that way.

The “shit, I shot him” about 2 seconds after she fired would indicate otherwise. There are plenty of opportunities to be outraged about police shooting people, this isn’t one of them. 

While the shot is “a” problem, it is not “the” only problem. She wouldn’t have even been on the scene if it wasn’t for the driver’s 7 minute rant over a damn seat belt violation. He drove forward 3 times, didn’t do a single thing the officer asked him to do, was disrespectful from the start, and was just a moron…

That wasn’t “a bit of resistance”, that was 7 minutes of resistance followed by trying to punch the officer before body slamming him in traffic over a fucking seat belt. Anybody does that and they are risking their own life, and everybody else in the area.

Should he have been shot? No.

Can you explain how you think Zion can shoot the ball just like someone else from the same distance, with the same arch, hit the same spot on the rim, but yet you think one of those people shot it significantly harder than the other?

Unfortunately he’s been shafted by the NCAA twice and therefore hasn’t had enough time to build his resume for a professional career. Last year they cost him over half of the season trying to decide if a class he took in 8th grade was sufficient to deem him academically eligible even though his grades were great. His…

In testimony during the trial, it was stated that the $20k was discussed but never actually took place. So your statement that “Adidas consultant T.J. Gassnola testified in federal court that he had paid De Sousa’s guardian Fenny Falmagne $2,500, and $20,000 to get out of a pay-to-play deal with Maryland.” is not…

Sure, but there are tons of kids over the years that have accepted 2-5k directly (not through a guardian) and all of them got suspensions in the 9-15 game range, paid back what they received, and all was well. Then all of the sudden Silvio gets a 2 year ban for a lesser charge (since he didn’t accept the money himself…
