That's what one would think would be the better solution. Designing a windmill blade that assembles from three pieces. But apparently they do the giant single piece polymer forming because the lower weight means it's less prone to

Is that really a fair comparison though, considering the digestive system is far more robust and is supposed to be self-cleaning? Lungs can't even deal with dust kicked up by the weather as they'll fill with mucus and reduce your

There's not much more you can get out of current fuel blends. Methanol is potent but very expensive to mix, the even more expensive nitromethane is so powerful it strains the science of metallurgy and thus is some of the most dangerous

Well... There are a few regulations I know exactly that contributed to this. One was the roof crush rollover standard. I believe it was passed in 2007 and stated that any vehicle must be able to hold up it's entire weight upon it'

When you're an artist who tries to recreate things from the past you learn very quickly the limitations of what we use nowadays. Tradeoffs in efficiency are often paid for with quality of life. For example many of the older high pressu

No. As someone who lives in such a town, there aren't any "tradeoffs" that one would assume. There's just increased limitations and downsides. For example with suburban and exurban sprawl being such a problem that means

As a daily Blender user... Never recommend the Blender Video Sequence Editor. Ever. I do everything in-camera just so I don't have to deal with that thing. It is powerful, but it's powerful in the same way plate tectonics is.

One could take that more as to how effective American Exceptionalism propaganda is and how badly the U.S. messed up South and Central America between 1890 and 1980. Things often look better when looking in from the outside, after all.

They can, very easily. Nissan's L28, Toyota's 1JZ and 2JZ, and Ford's own modular 4.6 are all well known for such raucous stupidity. If you really want to you can even make GM's Quad 4 push 900HP, as evidenced in the Ol

You can have that kind of detached house with a yard, but the thing is you have to be careful in where you place it. Look at towns built or expanded between 1910 and 1950 and you'll see that often times there were single streets of hou

The Stanford Prison Experiment has been discredited and debunked for almost a decade now. It's interesting to me how little attention the discrediting got and how many people still point to it as a real unguided trial because of that.
