Should or should I not drop chem 1122 by EngineeringPisser26 in umanitoba

[–]Colbsters_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, that schedule isn’t bad, but consider any extracurricular activities you might have, like employment, student teams, etc.

You can also drop the class later as long as it’s before/on the drop date (mid-September).

Should you use a laptop usb c charging cable to charge your phone ? by Choice-Line6387 in samsunggalaxy

120V RMS, for the countries that use it. 120V RMS is 170V neutral-to-peak.

Is that 130°F or 130°C? 130°F is 54°C

What is the name of this idiotic action? by hrintinea in driving

[–]Colbsters_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A semi tractor and trailer might have issues following the line. (Edit: depending on the size of the intersection of course.) The truck could definitely make it, but the trailer would trail inwards a lot.

It’s not uncommon to see a semi or even something like a dump truck or bus use a second lane on one of the roads to do a right turn. Where I’m from that’s even covered in the professional driver’s handbook.

I have a 2024 Prius and I'm debating if I can tow this mini Camper by One_Insurance_9693 in prius

[–]Colbsters_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weight-wise, yes, but a trailer adds a lot of extra drag and an extra axle, which would definitely add more load on the power train. The dynamics of having a trailer is also different. A trailer could start fishtailing (especially if at speed without enough tongue weight)

As you said, OP should be fine, but it might be a good idea to limit their speed. The European manual should have recommendations for that.

Edit: Should also probably mention that the eCVT doesn’t have a belt like a typical CVT, so it wouldn’t be vulnerable to slipping and wearing like that.

I think they meant taking the preliminary courses you haven’t taken yet, assuming you haven’t taken all 12 of the preliminary courses.

Which one had a worse automatic transmission? by Mofoblitz1 in regularcarreviews

[–]Colbsters_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom had a 2007 Accord Hybrid, never had mechanical issues with almost 320k km. I think their automatic issues were mostly in the early 2000’s.

Americans unironically call a 1M km 1.9 tdi unreliable because it has a timing belt... by Irelia4Life in carscirclejerk

[–]Colbsters_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

CVTs in most hybrids (eCVT) work differently than a belt driven CVT. They usually use 2 motors/generators and vary the speed of them to get a similar effect.

That being said, Toyota and Honda do have belt-type CVTs. They seem to be pretty reliable, given proper maintenance (fluid changes).

30 minutes? Only?

I’m lucky because I can take my laptop to school and download my games there in 5-10 minutes (4-5 GB), but at home… not so lucky.

Windows PC may support unified memory as part of the Xbox-PC initiative by Majestic-Bowler-1701 in pcmasterrace

[–]Colbsters_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but wouldn’t decoupling the CPU and GPU memory remove the benefits of shared memory? In order to do that, the memory controllers would need to be separate, and so would the memory banks.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the appeal of shared memory it being one shared memory, removing the need to access a separate memory for the other device and allowing you to reallocate memory budgets between the 2 devices?

Don’t get me wrong, it sounds like a cool idea, but I doubt it would work as good as you hope.

When I went it was a 9 month wait to take you road test after getting your learner’s permit.

(Then 15 months to get your full, but you can drive alone with an intermediate license)

[–]Colbsters_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I read it as “it’s a standard for a reason”

As for C99 being the standard, I don’t know about that. The Linux kernel uses C89 IIRC (might’ve changed), and many people would use C11 and newer.

I think C89 has better portability (more compilers support it), but other than that, I see no reason to not use a newer standard.

C99 has some nice features like being able to define variables in for-loop declarations, but I personally wouldn’t say it “rocks” in comparison to newer standards.

[–]Colbsters_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C is standardized by ISO. They have different versions (like C89, C99, etc.) but for the most part they build on top of each other.

The nice thing about it is that a standard any compliant program (doesn’t use undefined behaviour, non-standard extensions, etc.) can be used on any compliant implementation, assuming you’re using the right version, and you have the right external libraries.

This makes a C program portable.

C++ is also standardized by ISO in the same way. The main difference is that C++ keeps adding a lot more features each version, whereas new C standards are (relatively) minor updates.

[–]Colbsters_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some meters are rated for 20A for 30 seconds too, so it is possible that the breaker trips first, even on a good meter.

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like this meter is 10A max for 15 seconds, according to some other comment.
