You’re right RPM is tied directly to wheel speed. There is increased fuel consumption because the load on the engine is higher.

I wonder if there’s even a gain in total miles they can travel given how much air resistance that sail adds. Wonder what RPM the engine is pushing going highway speeds.

Had better sushi in Taiwan than Japan on the same trip.

Where? I’d be curious to try if I were in Switzerland again.

I rewatched this movie recently and noticed this as well! Still one of my favorites.

There’s plenty of studies on this subject. And cost of housing is one of the primary factors. Substance abuse and mental health are certainly important as well.

You’re overestimating how much individual factors are a problem compared to structural factors.

Benefit cliffs do exist however.

Depends on your friends I guess?

Presumably you can use something like a Stirling engine to power a stirrer.

Sous vide devices do this but they don’t go above boiling and probably won’t work well with higher viscosity liquids.

Why not just Thingino?

I mean this is true of MPAs that care about load times as well. Use server side rendering to send the initial HTML structure and then load only the JS that’s needed to interact with the current page state.

You’ll need to learn some quantum theory to really understand transistor since field effect can’t really be explained using other analogies.

Basically because there is water at a high height (high voltage), the height in another pipe changes: Without the water actually flowing through the pipe.

Transistor let you set voltages without passing current through (in the real world, there is current and thus heat being generated as waste, but it’s extremely small compared to the number of switching components there are).

I’ve learned that my buzzed self has less inhibitions when writing code. But those inhibitions are there for a reason.

That seems easily abusable though? Just put all the would be profits into R&D or something.

Are you looking for historical context?

In Asia, being darker means you’re a lower class because you have to work outside. This colorism persists to this day, just look at the common beauty standards in Asia right now.

Add to that there’s a general worship of money and you can see where white ethnicities would be considered the most acceptable interracial coupling.

There are also extremely few black peoples in Asia, so there’s very little direct interaction. Everything they know about black people they learn from TV and movies and the news. So the only exposure they see are the common stereotypes.

It’s not like there’s much movement towards alleviating these issues because they don’t see it as a problem.

So for Asian women growing up in America, this exposure is a new experience and it’s not something that can be explained to the parents. The parents who of course forbid dating until after college and then expect grandchildren. Obviously what happens is that activities are hidden from the parents.

I remember in college I went on a few dates with an Asian woman of my same race who would hide if she thought someone saw us together. Imagine if she was seen with someone outside her race! Scandal!

Another issue is simply socioeconomics. Growing up in the South you end up with relatively wealthy Asians living near poor black neighborhoods leading to obvious disparities in crime. These type of situations perpetuate the stereotypes.

Hope this gives you some context.

Aren’t you trading brake wear for transmission/engine wear?
