    Breakthrough in Diesel Engine Technology: "Speed of Air Pistons" Explained

    They may not have seen the emissions control improvements which is really the only gain here considering how much is wasted on that element alone. Remember that something as simple as this having any positive improvement at all makes it worthwhile . I see no reason what speed of air did is...

    If the not insignificant subset of people who work multiple jobs become underemployed while some exit total unemployment it doesn’t ping the participation numbers negatively but does affect the economy and more underemployed individuals drags down spending focusing more cash on poverty...

    Can anyone think of any way in which E15 could improve fuel economy?

    I’ve been burning e15 on and off since 2002. My experience is that if it’s hot you get better than expected gas MPGs on e15 Cool or mild and it’s not as good, cold and I don’t recommend it unless you are running very hard since fuel economy drops slightly. Back long ago when I towed heavy...

    Are 18V mowers really that bad?

    Aren’t they toy sized, underpowered with a short run time. I had an early 24v greenworks which was a real POS

    Raw numbers up number of layabouts up, uncertain if good or bad depending on why participation percentages are permanently down. (2 decade trend) Stay at home to do childcare is beneficial out for school/training/non-profit can be beneficial if that’s the reason but male percentages down...

    65" Vizio TV at Walmart $261.

    And worth noting I have a 1080p 50” Visio Smart TV upstairs, it’s the biggest I could fit. I had to really mess with the backlight and color settings and the smart functions are inop at this point. (Never did work well) Vizio are a value brand, good for the money as a TV but you need to be...

    65" Vizio TV at Walmart $261.

    Sam’s club had off brand 75” TVs for $269 as a door buster last weekend. That size doesn’t fit my room (and I don’t need a tv) I’ve actually been looking for “small 4k” screens <24” to use as a combo monitor/skype/tv device but that size is pretty much only available used in 4k. Why 99% of the...

    Chinese EV models

    They look nice when new but cheap out in a lot of baffling ways like painting one side, mediocre to non-existent rustoroofing and buggy interference and touch screens.

    The First EV Price War

    On this subject Volvo is enabling Geely to sell Chinese EVs without tarriffs into the us Despite the commentary they really aren’t selling “cheap”, at $35,000 I’m not really sure why the proposed EV would sell in anything close to mass market numbers

    Vitamin D

    I leak 8 and burn 7 A larger concern is Chinese sourcing and contamination. Because there is no testing many foreign sources vitamins are contaminated with heavy metals and sometimes don’t even contain what’s on the label.

    Should Be Shot Phrase On YouTube

    Garfield had a string of cartoons that would refer to someone being drug out into the street and shot. I posted in reference to whoever wrote that (150 year old law) and had the Garfield image with that catchphrase on fbook and got 90 days for hatespeech.

    The workforce participation numbers would need to change dramatically to mean “much” Workforce participation amongst men is still pretty terrible.

    Generic Roku TV remote, what tv set is this for?

    That’s what’s strange, you would think if this came with one of the unbranded Chinesium sets it would still need “something anything” but both internally and externally there is only the board number and no other marks, labels, numbers, logos. On unbrauniversal remotes the board number is...
