Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

Nice video on the hydraulic assisted rack and pinion steering. It preserves the feel that is lost in many passenger cars.

The braking system is quite complex but I wouldn't call it power brakes in the usual sense:

None of my bikes have ABS so something like that would be interesting. On hard braking into a corner there is so much weight transfer to the front tire that the rear brake is used gently, if at all.

My car is 20 years old, and the last of its type. It has a hydraulic assisted rack and pinion that gets the feel in a really simple way.

It turns down as you speed up, and is off by 30MPH.

It's really only there for parking. It did fail once, and I did notice!

But the G forces are

If its all so long distance firing why do they have to train around the Mach Loop in Wales?

If not fast jets what about

Probably to train for ground attack - such as the low level attacks on airbases during the Gulf Wars. Air to air battles are probably at pretty long range these days, but bombs can only be dropped close up.

Nope, those that fly the latest high performance fighters wear pressure suits. F1 drivers don't

Thats ground attack and making themselves invisible to those extreme range missiles.

They dont wear pressure suits either.

No one dog fights anymore.

That's wrong too. The B52 doesnt do close up.

There are even fish in the Thames in London now.

There were also the massive number of water leaks that that had to be fixed and were ignored before privatisation.

Our local rail service was called the Misery Line and had rolling stock that had been scrapped by other regions.

BR had some strange pricing as well. I can remember that in my area a day return ticket was cheaper than a day single (way) ticket.

Because attacking the ground is different from air combat, and they still have to get close (like 100km) to targets without being spotted on radar

No, you will simply burn more calories, which will be plentiful with the extra crops.

Siphon your neighbour's propane.

Why would that be hell? Do you never go camping?

But but but, the climate is warming up, we won't need heat.

Food insecurity is more likely to kill you. Sadly, not all that fast.

The climate is warming, but that does bring more extreme weather. One side effect of climate change is that cold air masses from the Antarctic have taken to getting as far north as Southern Australia. When I was a kid, unseasonable cold weather froze a couple of tourists to death in the Cradle Mountain national park in Tasmania in January (which is high summer in Tasmania), This is now more likely than it used to be.

Sadly, this isn't going to free us from Commander Kinsey.

It's a good way to make your brain explode.

Here's another one, the output is simultaneously 12V and 24V:

says it's 24V, but I'm not convinced. Will it fizz or will it bang?

Why pick a gay bar?

Ah, showing him the wide variety of weirdos.

The what?
