I currently have a small short going against Sears Holdings because I think that the CEO is driving the company into bankruptcy.

Are those gardening gloves?

Have they fixed the “wobbly wheel” issue yet? I’ve basically sworn off the whole make when picking up rental cars, which is quite troublesome because National loaded up on Nissans this year.

He should just change his last name to Samson while he’s at it.

They implied, you inferred.

It breaks down, or gets collected by moisture in the atmosphere. NOx emissions lifetime is on the order of several hours, and hydrocarbon particulate lifetime is on the order of several days. We’re talking about short lived pollutants. They’re a problem in cities because we release a whole lot of them, and the…

Emissions are measured in grams per horsepower-hour, not ppm, as that would unnecessarily penalize lean operation. The mandatory limits are 0.14g particulate and 0.2g NOx per hp-hr, as that has been determined to be a realistic requirement to meet in the goal of improving air quality.

They shit on people everywhere they go, or at least in Chicago.

But when you’re in the Bentley, you don’t care, as you sit in the back drinking champagne while the car drives itself to your destination.

It’s either not that hot, or it’s not that humid. It might be 95% humidity in the morning just before sunup, but by the time you’re in the mid-day heat, you’re down into the 50s, or maybe low 60s. Mid 90s heat and mid 90s humidity is heatstroke territory, even sitting idle in the shade.

I’ve also always thought that “heat shields” around cone filters in an engine bay that I see on some modified cars are purely psychological. The engine bay is going to get hot no matter what you do to try to prevent it. A plastic shield isn’t going to do anything to stop that.

95F with RH in the mid-90s isn’t typical weather, that’s “stay indoors with air conditioning or else you’ll die” weather.

Superchargers do just fine for altitude compensation.  After all, that’s what they were explicitly designed for.

It’s also not going to deploy in time if you lose power while performing those low altitude acrobatics. Even ballistic parachutes have their limitations.

There’s a way around this.  Now they know what he drives.  Just keep pulling him over.  Either they continue to harass him and waste his time, or he finally gets so fed up that he runs for it, and commits a felony.

Be honest.  It’s because you always use your phone to record what parking spot you’re in.

Do they use the same god-awful electric steering system?

My company rents with National, and their app will tell you what make/model/plate you have.  Awfully useful when going to a customer who wants to know what details to put on a facilities pass, or a hotel with strict parking lot enforcement.

You poor soul....

Problem is that there’s more to audio quality than just kps or khz or bits.
