SOLVED. Why does a clock need to keep track of weeks? In order to support automatic DST adjustments which according to DST rules at the time occurred on the first Sunday in April. So in order to keep track of what day of the week it was it needed a week counter. the counter was probably stored as a signed integer, so…

They debunked that it could happen accidentally, they did use a vacuum and a few dents to crush a tanker car.

If these trucks are doing more than 50% of the driving unloaded, the person doesn’t care about fuel economy. Good diesel engines have a thermal efficiency of 45% under load, all of the heavy duty trucks will have similar thermal efficiency so the only factors for mpg are gvw and drag. These factors are very specific…

Seems like the diver of the red Chevy cruze failed to look ahead while driving and hit the back of a more attentive driver. Not really a victim in my eyes.

Recycling value is different than trade value. Anything with a tank of gas, oil, and some tyres is worth $50.

You always leave the truck in gear when you are this close, the sound of the engine also helps keep them at a distance. I was once almost charged head on by a rhino, but the guide just revved ave kept creeping forward which made the rhino back down.

But increasing NOx emissions the reduced CO2 emissions and used less fuel so they probably saved lives by reducing climate change in the long run. Nobody ever brings up the positives of the defeat device, the cars were more efficient at the cost of smog. Outside of very congested cities there really isn't a problem…

So many words up there but your full of shit. The largest atmospheric moisture extraction devices ever made don't even come close to taking enough water out of the air to change how much it rains.

I was offended you...

There is no scientific evidence to support any benefits of chronic exposure to cyanide. But if liver and kidney failure sound fun, go for it.

Apple seeds have small amounts of cyanide, you should avoid those.

Maybe we can forgive VW for the drop in the bucket of pollution they caused, and move on to hating actual polluters.

you have confused “the manner with which we have reproduced it for the past century or so.” with “the way the human eye works”

There are only 3 colours of light. And if we are talking about blended colours, there are trillions in a good photo not 25.

Not nearly as impressive to watch as slip forming

If I crank up my 2-stroke weed-whacker and chainsaw and do yard maintenance for a few days each year... I’ve likely polluted much more than a modern VW TDI pollutes in it’s lifetime. The current crisis is being reported as if VW was committing a significant crime against nature (pollution), when in fact the real crime…

Competent CEOs are in high demand; if you tried to pay them less they would work somewhere else.

But does a battery leak flammable liquid? Fuel fires spread, battery fires don't.

You no take candle!

The cool air is from the rest of your house. As long as the heat wave is brief the thermal mass of the house will retain a lower temperature than the outside.
