Dayum. How often do they need refilling? With rebco magnets out there, surprised we’re not using more ln2 instead.

Maybe just older machines?

Yes it does. Lives matter more than objects, that’s some crazy basic truth people understand past being a toddler.

Hmm. Just how old are you anyway?

Lower compression ratios are a common trick to increase longevity and fuel compatibility. You reduce horsepower and fuel efficiency, but gain reliability.

Facts.

Well… he was doing ok in NYC for a while, and that’s a tough gig. I’d call him a petite bourgeoisie if we’re talking about the actual definition of the word lol.

If we’re taking about his chutzpah, giving a billion dollar company the figure on the regular, that’s just the NYC mentality. The social stratum in the city can be very strange, for ex living in the building next to trump himself, but knowing he’s completely divorced from the realities of a regular guy.

We might be from the same city, but some of us are new yorkers, some of us merely do business there.

What’s wrong with Louie?

Dinkins was pretty cool.

But look, it’s a megalopolis of people working hard, tired af at the end of every day.

Want political office? You gotta have real money, real connections, and the time and energy to get that power.

Unfortunately that magically counts out the majority of us.

Ey fuck you, buddy 😆

Yeah, I’ve been wondering about that… any theories?

Been enjoying it up here, personally. Hope you guys enjoy the stay.

Please do, curious to see what it’d result in.

… Me too but make it electric to blow the doors off Maseratis from the lights.

Yep, that’s that attitude which has resulted in this community being created.

I’ve got my share of speeding tickets as we all do, but be reasonable. The energy in an impact goes up with the square of velocity… 3x faster means 9x the impact energy, and you’re driving a particularly heavy vehicle. It might not even be your fault if something goes wrong.

Same 😓

Man as a kid in school, seeing that video for the first time had me wheezing.

Yeah, possibly… iunno, one life and all. Have fun with it 😎

You’re missing what I’m saying. Because you cannot get that energy back into the pack very fast due to thermal constraints (there is a maximum rate one can recharge any battery, depending on the pack’s particular cell chemistry), you’re dumping quite a bit of energy when braking. Less energy loss than traditional car brakes, but still a good fraction without getting capacitors into the design.

Going over 100 is absolutely stupid, drag forces increase with the square of speed. Driving that way in a car is dangerous to everyone else, and the attempt at a physics based justification is just wrong.

Gimme dat Buick 8. Man I loved that book.

Sorry man… I hate to break (brake?) it to you but there are no EVs in existence that can get the charge back into the battery as fast as you can get it out. Some systems dissipate the excess kinetic energy into heat using ‘braking resistors’, while others simply disable Regen to the usually sudden surprise of the driver (looking at you Tesla and Toyota), and kinetic energy gets lost as heat via brake pads.

Sure, all of what you say is correct. I’m more pointing out the interesting textures and other subtle things which may not be immediately obvious on a screen, e.g. if the timescale is too zoomed in… I’ve missed phenomena before for that exact reason on a 'scope.
