    Governors. You can use the wrong grade of gasoline if the engine is limited. 

    My premium fuel car is allegedly capable of 196mph but by electronic governor limited to 156mph. Other guys on the car forum with recoded chips report top speeds of 178 on the American version and slightly higher on the world version. 

    Why would anyone want to do  that? Go ahead. Take your minivan to the track. No one's stopping you.

    2 different things.  a governor is always a reference to speed governor.  it simply cuts the fuel above a certain speed . 155mph corresponds to 250kph which is a nice round number.  its also coincident to the V/W tire speed rating.  (most winter tires max out at V and W).  its also a very convenient way to upsell customers for a 2000$ speed-delimited option which cost them nothing in software.

     

    if a car computer detects knocking, it'll retard the timing.  this will reduce maximum horse power.  which will of course decrease top speed.  but this fact is not correlated to the common 155mph governor.

    so 99% of factory cars, its engineered to work with commonly available fuel.  for highly tuned motors (esp turbo motors where lots of tuning is done via software - fuel/air management and timing) , power output is driven very much by fuel.  these really get a boost from AKI 99, 103, etc fuel

    The oil was in the ground for a few million years, but it's going to go bad in 3 months. 

     

    I have a lawnmower that I've been using for 14 years that I've never changed or added oil to. Still starts on one pull and runs fine. 

    much sarcasm right?

  4. distance OR time, whichever comes first, based on manuf recommendation.  both should be scaled based on actual driving behavior.

    my car has a computer that takes care of it for me.  it'll do 2 years or ~20,000 miles, to be reduced based on condition and behavior

  5. LinkedIn.  I know, I know, it's still "social media".  But I expect people to keep the sharing, reposting, comments, etc, to be germane to professional work life.

     

    Instead of fucking pictures with inspirational quotes from Branson/Musk/Buffet/Jobs/whothefuckever.

     

    "Don't invest in products invest in people".

     

    Ahhhh...how relevatory and insightful.  My career is all the better for that.

  6. I like how there is a recognized expert in blood spatter.  And a separate person who is the foremost expert in burning bodies.

    And their job seems kinda fun -- testing blood spattering scenarios to confirm the patterns.

    Also I like how Dassey's dad is wearing a John Cena shirt in every photo.

    Was that Joe Horn's actual flip phone?

    Thomas was coy on some details, including where he got the phone and whether anyone else helped him put it there....

    "Umm, I think someone ... I think Joe Horn left it," he said.

    hilarious

    First page of this thread perfectly shows how stupid and reactionary our fan base is.

    Amazing insight.  It's almost as if athletes go through ups and downs in their performance.

    Every animal uses different tactics to attract a mate. Humans celebrate health, appearance, sociability, & security. If you want to have sex with more girls, you should change yourself to fit what they desire. Lose weight, work out, learn how to be confident, make more money, etc, etc,

    What about post count and rep?

    This isn't about sex.  These guys just hate women.  (I didn't know what "incel" was until I looked it up last night.  Wow.)

    Most of these guys are unimpressive to say the least.  They're 3's who are upset 9's won't bang them.  If it was just about sex, they'd be banging slump buster 3's.

    if they were good at math, they'd figure 3-3s would be additive

    The NCAA is pretty much a rigged economy now, at least at the top.  The same teams in the top 10/25 every year. 

    The rich get richer and the poor get poorer or stay the same year over year.

     

    You mean like, for basically the entire history of the sport?

    They’re also preoccupied with the idea of a sexual economy: According to the Red Pill subreddit (a term that comes from The Matrix but among men’s rights activists refers to the realization that society is actually sexist against men), some believe that 20 percent of men are having 80 percent of all sex, which means “for every ten girls who are getting laid this week, eight of them are fucking just two guys.”

    They also say that the bottom 80 percent of men are “left to fight for the bottom 20% of females. This works out for about 70% of the males, leaving just 10% of the males to struggle for the bottom 10% of females, who only want access to the top 20% of males.”

    It’s clear that this fixation also translates into an obsession over not just the sexual privilege that more attractive people have, but the financial one — it’s precisely because of her looks that Stacy can afford to carry a $2,000 Gucci bag, while Becky’s stuck with her $5 backpack because her selfies aren’t as hot.

    lmao Vox.com = TheOnion?

    I haven’t rewatched this film yet, but the beauty and weirdness of the final scene has stuck with me for months. Haunting is the wrong word, but I’m not sure what else to call it.

    I'd call it creepy as fuck
