How does that article debunk anything? Yes, lead has anti-knock properties. There are other ways around knock, including chemicals that are described in your link. There was no way around accelerated valve seat wear until hardened valve s

Donating plasma may filter micro-plastics from blood. A study showed it to be effective for removing PFAS: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8994130/ AFAIK there hasn't been a study focused on plast

Why we started, can’t be anything other than profit. It was a technical issue. The lead prevented valve seat wear. IIRC, Honda was the first manufacturer to use hardened valve seats that didn't need lead. So, ultimately, you can sa

Regenerative braking has much less tire wear than traditional braking because it's done much more slowly and smoothly. Absent any evidence, I don't believe that claim. Unless you're skidding, I don't see how braking s

surely regenerative braking has its own shedding of particles from all the moving parts. It adds tire wear, but no more than traditional friction braking. I can't see how there would be any measurable wear from any other moving part

there is no crusade or moral framework. If you go to the doge website right now, there's a Libs of TikTok tweet shown on the main page. It reads: The US government only recognizes two sexes: Male and Female. This needs to be chang

his justifications are so wildly all over the place that frankly it's probably safe to assume he's lying at least about his motivations. This has been my assumption. Trump's superpower seems to be manipulating the media.

I didn't post a fake quote. I pasted a quote that two sites -- one of which is nearly a direct copy of the other -- claim is fake. Do you disagree that fascism leans heavily into corporatism? Surely you realize that's the point
252.
by snozolli 2y ago
Yeah, I've seen the two sites that claim that it's a fake quote. The link you posted contains a bunch of doublespeak in an attempt to avoid the fact that fascism leans very heavily into corporatism.

I don't know. I stopped bothering to look, since it's never going to drive income or anything. It's worth it to me because 1) I get to help others, which brings satisfaction and 2) I can read what I wrote from anywhere and

I'm surprised that anyone is upgrading older hardware to Windows 11 in the first place. It's shocking how many performance issues I've come across. Explorer bogs regularly. I can't game and stream a video anymore du
