Theoretically, let’s say, bozo the clown is sitting in a gondola floating through Venice, and someone on the rooftop above has a large steel net and at each corner is a very heavy weight.
How heavy would those weights need to be when the net is thrown over the canal, to drag the gondola and occupant to the bottom of the canal?
Right, they’ve perfected the rocket, now we just need to load Elon onto the next flight.
Belt CVTs - I’m right there with you, but take a look into the more modern geared CVTs such as Toyota e-CVT in their hybrids - I think Honda have a similar tech. It’s a planetary gear system that provides infinite gears without the rubber band feel that plagued belt CVTs and hella-reliable.
I’m a petrolhead at heart and would love more options for manuals but in lieu of that, a geared CVT is by far the next best transmission and 100x better than a traditional auto.
Even better, jump in one and take it for a drive - because there are gears, it feels more connected to the motor - almost manual-like response and no sluggish delay like a traditional auto.
You literally pick your revs by pushing the throttle more or less, they’re magic for hills or when the car is packed since you’re never waiting for revs to climb up into the power nor holding a speed because any faster and you have to change again which takes you out of the power again. If you want more power, you simply modulate that with the throttle and the revs rise instantly to accommodate.
Yes!! This and Fatal Racing was my entire early teens!
A real team effort if the air traffic controllers join the effort too
Exactly! That pos has the attention span of a potato. Just tell him “yes sir, all done” and he’ll forget all about it
Next time AF1 goes for a jaunt to pedo-island, the air traffic controllers that trump is insulting have an opportunity to become really American heroes…
Can only hope this is the case. If they’re not being useful, chances are they’re not being genuinely destructive either
Missed a massive opportunity: the grin reaper!
Well, I’ll be damned! The republicans were right!
All it takes is a good-guy with a gun!
MS know who butters their bread. Businesses get given the tools to control windows properly. Even without needing to resort to LTSC versions, domain joined with group policy, you can manage all the shitty parts of windows to make it behave as you wish - even down to control over when you receive the updates
Good point - my thought is to go through that pain now while I’m still learning to use Linux properly. I’m not tied into anything yet so I can always swap something out if it doesn’t play with Wayland and gets too troublesome.
Began moving all my hardware to Linux this year since none of them will run win11 without fk-about-ing - and I just don’t want to. So my server, media box and laptop are all cut over, only my main desktop left on windows a bit longer but it’s goose is cooked too.
I’ve tried dozens of distros over the years but I’ve settled on Fedora KDE.
The why:
And a formatting-stripping tool

Mate, ease up!
Add some lube and loosen your death grip and you’ll have a more pleasant experience
“High performers don’t waste their time arguing with the void on social media. Congrats, you just burned the only free hour you had after work.”
Bro, you’re literally just like those you despise. Talking of badges, don’t prick yourself with that “Sheriff of Linux” badge you made it out that bottle lid.
Edit: Sorry, where the hell did that link come from!? I swear it wasn’t there when I last looked!
