>or they are making a killing on crypto fees. They don't charge commissions to trade crypto. Not sure where they're skimming the money but the terrible order fills you get there gives me an idea.

Their app and UI are great, really great; but I closed most of my trades after the Gamestop fiasco and I'm not coming back. I kept the debit card and keep a few bucks in there, still use the app for quick quotes sometimes but that'

You can buy the components separately but they won't usually be certified so that's only useful for EAA types and people like Mike Patey.

You stop relying on blanket dispersal orders, curfews, other things like that. Arrest people for shooting, looting, throwing bricks, setting fires, you know, crimes that matter.

Yeah and quite a large fraction of those should probably never be granted mod powers over even something as insignificant as a subreddit.

My experience is just the opposite. Have had to replace more floppy drives than I can count. Used to work in a dusty environment, but that alone doesn't explain the failure rate.

The shock absorber isn't a great analogy for a filter cap but, a capacitor has inductance and resistance, even though it is primarily a capacitor and we usually ignore the L and R for simplicity's sake.

It sounds somewhat similar to a supercharged two-stroke design like the formerly very popular Detroit Diesels (8V71, 6V92TA, for example). None of those engines were very efficient though. Also, glow plugs are only used for starting.

It's not just the tech, it's the lack of infrastructure, especially rural infrastructure. It'll be more than 10 years.

The batteries are expensive but when you factor the cost of fuel + oil and the hassle of dealing with it, the case for batteries doesn't look as bad.
