To accelerate a vehicle we need to put kinetic energy into it and Power is the measure of how fast we can do that.

From a technical capability standpoint, torque is a useless measure. With a motor of a given power you can always gear it up or down to whatever torque you need (assuming a lossless transmission system).

If we take two identical trucks with 10k lb trailers on them and one’s a 800ft-lb diesel and one’s a 300ft-lb gas, both with 400hp, they sould realisticly accelerate and climb a hill at the same rate. The diference is the gas engine will be screaming at 6/7/8000 rpm and guzzling gas. (This also assumes no other factors like heat cone into play, the gas may not be able to maintain as much power due to cooling system designs or other factors).

Torquey-er engines also tend to feel better from a driveability standpoint but that’s not representative of capability.

He comes from a land down under.

Yeah they bought some food company

I love operating heavy machinery as long as I don’t have to get out/off the heavy machinery.

If I have to get off to fix it when it breaks then I’m unhappy.

Using an airconditioned tractor for literally anything, fun. Unjamming the fucking hay bailer when it’s over 100F and 95% humidity and there’s dust everywhere, not fun.

Na, I know of elements that intensify way harder.

In the US there is the ‘Ghost Flower’ or ‘Indian Pipe’ which is parasitic to fungus which is parasitic to the host tree. It is totally white with no chlorophyll.

It’s parasites all the way down.

I also remembered it’s often written in that format on clearance height signs and such so here’s an “In the wild” example.

Yeah I know plenty of chenese stuff ignores it. I forget where it’s said but countertop appliances are supposed to be 3’ cords and others are supposed to have 6’ cords. And then in houses you’re supposed to have plugs at those distances so people usually shouldn’t need extension cords.

3 feet.

’ is feet

" Is inches

Example: someone who is 5 foot 9 inches tall can write their height as 5’9"

Same. Also, countertop appliances should always have at least a 3’ cord. I believe that’s part of electrical code.

Gotta get that “y’all all” or “all y’all” going if that’s what they’re going for.

Yeah definitely. Keep it in and adjust to match.

Thanks.

And get more surface area to the air than you could with straight air cooling.

And control the temperature more acurately if desired through a thermostat.

My grandpa has a Vanagon but it’s in kinda rough shape.

Body is pretty good but the interior is pretty much gone and it has electrical grimlins so it either starts and drives perfectly or just screams at you doesn’t even attempt to start.

Super cool vehicle though.

What was the original sign?

I’d argue they are giving him shit. She might be the punch line but he’s the butt of the joke.

No, the Fire TV Stick is a streaming stick. The Fire TV is a TV with the stick built in and it makes you go through the Amazon Fire UI to do normal TV things as well.

In addition to that. It’s probably mocking these places where it asks if you want to leave a tip when you didn’t see a single employee your entire visit. Or counter service/fast food etc.

Wait 'till they meet Charlie B

I was going to say the same thing.

The first two parked vehicles look like the (old) Pessima and the LeGran
