It’s friction with the air.

You’ve experienced a strong guest of wind, now multiply that by 700x. At some point the temperature of the air is meaningless. The impact of you on those air particles gives them soo much energy they get white hot and radiate heat as energy, thereby heating you up. Like standing next to a fire.

No. Jumping forward increases your elevation at the far orbit. Jumping back decreases it. But you’d end up back on where you jumped in one orbit either way.

Still the best graphical explanation of the Fourier transform. Still wish they just showed this in signals and systems and saved the remaining 3 months of the quarter.

Trusting the float on the back makes sense to be a hard one. It’s counterintuitive, the water comes over your face when you start, and you can’t hold on to anything. Might be worth getting a personal coach for a session just for that if you haven’t already. Someone supporting you might help with the anxiety as long as they’re encouraging and not pushy.

The problem isn’t a missing technology. it’s our political and economic system.

I’m all for advancing tech but nothing is going to work until we fix our behavior. We use fossil fuels because they’re profitable and allow or growth-at-all-cost economy. There’s nothing for which they’re the only option. Only a few things for which they’re the best option; the power grid and transit aren’t on that list.

No. The heat of combustion increases the gas temperature. But this temperature increase is relative to the mass of the gas. The heat is relative to fuel/oxygen mass combusted. (Combustion energy + Ideal gas law)

Add mass without adding combustion, you get lower pressure and temperature out. So you get less boost from the turbo and make more work for the compression cycle.

The major point of the turbo is to use wasted heat to add more oxygen by packing more air in. So it’s a bit of an odd question to answer. The point is there’s a lot of energy wasted in a naturally aspirated engine’s exhaust. Turbos mostly use that wasted energy, and not power from the crank.

Oh yeah, the turbo is going to have an efficiency ratio for converting exhaust pressure into boost. So that added backpressure on the exhaust is going to be offset in the intake stroke by that ratio. Not important to the point, hat a tidbit. These things are so complicated lol.

It’s pretty much like billiards. They just bounce. Different chemicals (types of molecule) are different phases at different temperatures e.g. nitrogen is a gas at room temp, water is liquid. Stuff that’s a gas at room temp just has less bonding forces (and often mass) than liquids or solids. So they don’t take as much heat to go fast. There’s a lot of heat even at room temp, and even at -40deg. The temperature for nitrogen to sit in one place is -210C or -346F.

The exhaust gases are at a high pressure after combustion due to combustion heat. The turbo does indeed increase exhaust pressure, and therefore extracts some work from the crank but it’s extracting significantly more from the high pressure of the expanded hot gas. It’s not “free” because it’s energy that is usually just wasted in a naturally aspirated engine. There are many examples of engine configurations where a turbo is used to boost efficiency by reducing displacement.

There were systems on old aircraft engines which used exhaust power recovery turbines geared directly to the crank. Those wouldn’t physically function under your concept.

The increase in manifold pressure doesn’t just increase oxygen in the cylinder. It also increases the manifold pressure, or the total mass of gases. The increase of oxygen does allow for more fuel and total energy in the ignition event but the extra inert gas also expands when heated. So both play a factor in increasing mean effective pressure, and therefore energy output per cycle (power).

Edit: im tired… Bad wording, adding inert gas to increase intake mass doesn’t help.

Install SimpleWall. Turn it on. See how many connections MS tries to establish. Block them all and realize your CPU’s been running pretty hard at idle when your fans spool down and your PC is finally quiet.

Then ask why.

CAD is certainly the most difficult shortcoming of FOSS.

Freecad is fine fine a single part and it’s actually stable unlike everything else, but doing assemblies requires an add-on. I don’t recall if those work in simulation though. Its workflow also needs more time. It has come a long way in the least several years though. I suspect it will get to be competitive in the next few. Especially as dassault and Autodesk keep trying to inject AI BS and force you further into their cloud services.

This time it’s an issue with hardware requirements though. Many people will have to upgrade to even install win11

There seems to be an understanding that the average user is going to switch from windows 10 at EOL. I’m quite confident most personal devices will run it until it stops working flat out. Your average PC user has no concern about security vulnerabilities until they’re exploited in a way that actually breaks the functionality of the thing.

A migration to to Linux will be very delayed. Like months or years. In lots of cases probably long enough that people will be shopping for new hardware anyways by the time they have to decide on a new OS.

They also returned from the war to a much stronger welfare system.

Fuckin news!

Ehhh… Well, in computer processing it does play a huge role in heat transfer requirements which has often driven transistor density.

But fair to say efficiency is often more likely to create induced demand rather than a net reduction in consumption

Higher fuel economy -> more cars interplanetary frigates

Cheaper logistics -> more goods transported between systems

Faster internet -> more galactic utilization

More railways -> lower profit for the car speeder industry, uhh… Wait! I meant more transit by rail demand?

Edit: forgot which sub…

If it’s not in the records it doesn’t exist.

Always file. If the IRS collapses you paperwork means nothing. If it survives a collapse, having not filled will bite you in the ass.

Wtf? Venmo / cashapp are descendent from PayPal which was released ages before any major crypto.

Yeah well you can use better settings and/or third party keyboards/graphine/vpn/etc but you’re not going to get most people who don’t understand threat modelling to see those as valuable.

Accessible tools to make things at least a little obfuscated goes farther than just handing data over willingly, and we have to meet people where they are. Education requires interest in a topic. Start easy and work up as they see the value.

Obv Signal with disappearing messages… You’re still only as strong as weakest link but it’s better than WhatsApp or ISP exposed sms. Element better but also harder to set up or get regular neighbors to adopt.
