No. Gasoline cars have the advantage of not having to carry their own oxidizer. Even today, EVs make no sense at all compared to hybrids from a CO2 emissions stand point. Not only that, but the fundamentals of the thermo involved in ICEs w

Honestly, if you have to search something remotely technical, try HN's search function with comments enabled. If the topic has ever come up the discussion and links are likely to be more relevant and better than your avg. wiki article

The fan car! Classic. I was thinking more of a road going Ferrari. But, wing, fan or whatever, the principle is the same: as soon as the normal force on the tires is anything other than the weight of car, the quadratic model brakes down.

This is at best a first order model. But the assumptions are wrong. It illustrates an important principle, the quadratic dependance of KE. It encourages the argument to lower speed limits. All good things. But the vehicle dynamics are wron

The pro-wolf side won by 50.4% of the vote. So a tie. But the folks who voted for it won't have to live with the consequences of their vote.

The first is not a paradox but a nonsensical statement. Omnipotent, (by definition), does not include breaking logic because at its core something illogical is nonsense. As to free will, well that's something only Catholics and Orthodo

I find the scrapping sound jarring. Also, I'm not convinced of the (material) toughness of glass top. A heavy laden iron skillet is shatter poison for glass top. That being said, I'll accept glass top to get induction. Arrest i wo

If you don't want to contact Comcast to enable your porn, fine. May I have the option to call Comcast and disable it? And I mean actually disable it; ever porn providing site has to identify itself under criminal penalty. Because disab

Thanks to https, Comcast doesn't know you're into fluffy transexual anime porn. I'm not proposing to change that at all. What I am proposing is, in light that Comcast already knows that you enjoy the occasional Friday night w

I don't think it's bad. What made you think I think that? I do think our current president is a swine of a human being who cares nothing for others but his immediate family. Evidence for this is that he himself is largely responsi

Good for them, of course. The cynic in me, however, can help but notice that that's a lot of people whose voting rights have just been restored.

Wok is impossible on electric. One technique to recover lost heating control though is to place the pot partially on the element. You need a flat top electric and high quality cookware for that, but it works in a pinch

I grew up on electric, and Im looking to switch from my current gas to induction. Mostly for safety reasons - I don't like open flames. So Im about as biased against gas as possible. Electric heating elements suck. They take an appreci

I laughed so hard when I read your comment, thank you. Even the Democratic base acknowledges Hunter's laptop to be real and full of incriminating evidence - most democrats want Hunter prosecuted. Please, tell me you're from the

Best part is they work without needing a CPU intensive algorithm guessing what part of the signal is noise and introducing lag.

I liked your post, btw. I just think a pricey headset would have freed some money to attempt a proper ventilation. CO2 levels num your mind. I have a bigger walk-in and sometimes I take calls there. After 15 min. I cant stand the air qualit

by thsksbd 3y ago
Hence the boom microphone. Preferably with acoustic cancelling. The boom places the microphone close to your mouth so it's gain is very low. Having two mics on the boom setup to constructively add only the speaker's voice does ext

by thsksbd 3y ago
The acoustic was a waste of money. Noise cancelling headsets with a boom microphone would outperform all of those. The real problem (aside from the space) is the air quality. There's just no going around needing to put a duct/retu

That we got downvoted about something so easily verifiable and so shockingly corrupt really says a lot about the length humans go to grip to a delusion. Back in 2020 those of us that had followed the Ukr war since 2014 knew that the materia

I worked on this a little bit. You still need to energetically pay the entropic cost of separating salt from water, and the kinetic over-potential (on the electrodes). Also these cells hate running in reverse. Ruins their lifespan. Overall
