Believe it or not, it’s relatively easy to design the logic behind these devices for most engineers. Then it’s just a matter of fitting all the correct types of devices (or logic gates) that will control the valves. Even the engineer who designed the valve body probably couldn’t look at one and tell you how it works.…

Automatic transmission valve bodies are basically hydraulic computers. They have transistors (valves), resistors (passages of different lengths and cross-sectional areas), and capacitors (chambers). They receive input signals (oil pump pressure, speed sensor pressure, and throttle position) and calculate output…

Hey, if you don’t like my humor, just ask for your money back. =)

Perfect! I also happen to have 2.4 kids exactly!

2.4 five cylinder Volvo right here... but how does it equal a V12?

I’ll get my sawzall

Forget V12,

Anyone who suggests a BMW when what this guy is asking for is durable and dependable either didn’t read the article or is a sadist.

You have faith in Toyota. Keep it in the family.

Boy could I do without Mike Skinner’s stupid commentary.

We must have vastly different senses of humor. Skinner’s jokes were my least favorite part of the show other than the lamely repetitive and predictable “star” segment.

After a quick read I believe current ion drives have a max thrust of 250 millinewtons which is not that much. I don’t know if they are scalable or if improvements can be done to increase trust. They are already very efficient converting up to 80% of fuel to direct thrust so even at 99.9% it would be far from enough to…

To generate gravity with forward acceleration the ship would need to always be accelerating at a constant 1g. Then when it reaches halfway point it would flip 180° and start decelerating by a constant 1g.

“Imagine if advocates of human rights held this same worldview fifty years ago. What would the American civil rights movement have looked like in the 1950s and 60s if you didn’t believe changes in policy mattered?”

The fake news sites had little or no impact on the vote. Every time I pointed out a fake story or website and pointed out an actual non-partisan source (like Snopes, PolitiFact, or FactCheck.org), I would get push-back.

There was a lot of confirmation bias and willful ignorance going on. The fake news sites were not…

A digital or a dial caliper. All those tools, you have to work at it, but just holding a proper caliper around any sort of machinery makes you look official and look like you know something.

He’s gonna need to move the wheels back on that mailbox otherwise it’s going to have a ton of sway.

Nothing to prove those Trumpkin conspiracy theorists wrong like an unaccountable group of liberal tech workers picking and choosing what news is “fake” on a major information sharing platform.

‘According to a Facebook source who spoke with Buzzfeed, there are “more than dozens” of employees that have joined the unofficial task force to stop fake news, and they have met in secret twice in the past week.’

Is that a stanced Ferrari??
