Not on my particular car, but it's just an off-the-shelf third-party software upgrade. (And it's a pretty "mild", conservative tune, could easily get more.) Here's the dyno chart they provide: https://www

That's a strange flight pattern, any insight into it? Erratically gain altitude, make a long run and then a tight spiral back down before returning to land?

So is it the same fuel load to LEO, GTO, and Mars? Just less mass to move?

Yep. (I modified the software in my Biturbo V6, it added 60hp.)

The way it's written you could get life for "chipping" your car to increase the performance. Not just about self-driving cars.

Yes. And interestingly the GP's article spends a lot more time on that than the bird/bread. (Though that bird may have come back from the future as a saboteur[1].) [1] Even though it doesn't have wooden shoes.

I had no idea about Nielsen and Ninomiya's theories and multiple publications on them. I love the serious way their (I assume trolling) ideas are taken. Good fun in the high energy physics communy.

I do too and I don't know what I would replace it with if it becomes no longer viable. What other "serious" email clients are out there for Mac?

Absolutely. My reflection was inspired by the parent's comment, not on suicide in general. We should keep an eye out for symptoms in our friends despite their public façades and lend a hand if appropriate.

Two things in favor of EVs for the autobahn: 1) They generally have lower drag numbers than gas cars. 2) Diastances in Germany are less than in the US, so you're probably not going to bomb along for as long of a time.
