That paper has some flawed assumptions, I think. For one, they tie resuspension linearly to vehicle weight, but say that it's related to the vehicle's wake. It seems that they're confounded by the typical relationship of weig

That's not far off from what I had to go through the last time I took an education-related standard exam. Nothing but my cloths and ID were allowed into the room and they had a quite through check to make sure of it.

They're well known for abusing their monopsony power to force brands to offshore production and reduce quality of products. First they take on a product line and become a big % of the company's sales, then they start tightening th

We learned when VW's diesel cheating scandal came to light that your friend's Passat probably wasn't as clean as the company claimed. It was fun to drive because VW made it run dirty when not on the test stand. This doesn

Your workplace sounds toxic and full of backstabbing jerks. Am I misunderstand you? I can't imagine why you seem proud to work in such a place.

It's like you didn't read the parent post you're replying to. If you can't address the quantity argument, the rest of your post is moot.

It would make a ton of sense for park-and-ride like garages to have rental stations for cargo bikes or small electric delivery platforms (more like golf cart than car, e.g. Gator 6x6 though electric would be nicer). That way someone coming

You say that like electric wheelchairs and scooters don't exist. People too disabled to even use those already require assistance anyway, so they're no worse off requiring assistance in a (nearly) car-free environment.

Still, the ratio of people to cars is striking when visiting from more suburban areas. Many places seem like a sea of cars and pedestrians are very out of place.

Let this be noted in other markets where we're told that 2-3 players are plenty of competition (looking at you, telecom). If any one company is too big to fail because there's not enough competition left, there's already not

I would recommend reading [0] before being so quick to tear everything down. You're replacing the devil you know with the devil you don't know, so I think it's worth making a point of learning more about that one. [0] https:

Solar may not have inertia, but wind turbines certainly do. It's hard to imagine one of those stopping on a dime. Smaller batter installations can also help with frequency stabilization. The Tesla installation in South Aus primarily se

You're missing my initial point that with constant dollars from the state, more students means the state's money gets stretched thinner over the student body, so each student has to pay a larger percentage of the cost of their enr

FWIW, asking someone where they're from can have really negative connotations. It sounds like "you're not one of us" to a lot of people. In the US it's an ideal not to judge someone by where they're from (sadly

If they enclosed the gearbox, they could add a roller bearing on the reverse side of the sprocket to provide counterpressure to prevent flexing. Enclosing it would prevent grit from getting in as well.
