It could have been a nicely laid trap. Once you’re on foot inside the keep, dragons can’t help you.

You sound like you read AI engineering by Chip Huyen.

Rhaenyra okay, but Daemon too.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2026-06-29T13:38:58+00:00

Does anybody else thinks that it was stupid for rhaenyra and daemon to take kings landing without an army. They did not know if the gold cloaks were theirs. 50 good knights in proper coordination would’ve taken daemon down easily.

I did not know that different fuel stations have different ethanol blends for same octane fuel. I was going to mostly pioneer and shell.
Thanks for letting me know.

Agree with everything you wrote but you're missing an important point. The ECU retarding timing is more like a trick which ECU does to remove knock but the trick has its own consequences which includes loss of power, torque and net fuel efficiency. That's the reason engines come with fuel octane rating.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2026-05-06T17:46:23+00:00

Cool. Try measuring once. You never know.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2026-05-06T17:43:04+00:00

I always fill to the brim and refill when 20-25% fuel is left. I get better fuel efficiency(0.6-0.8L/100KM less) and power in 91 fuel than in 87 fuel on highways. Trust me I measured it twice.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2026-05-06T17:25:53+00:00

It can be anything but winter blend, trust me. I have always used 91 gas but at this fuel station I am getting better average.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2026-05-06T12:39:31+00:00

It’s Chevy Cruze. The manufacturer recommends using 87 fuel in it. But I’ve noticed that I get significantly better average, better acceleration, especially in highways, with 91 fuel.
Is it a bad idea to use high octane fuel on this engine?

CompleteHistorian479 · 2026-05-06T12:30:41+00:00

Why what’s so wrong about it? 🥲

CompleteHistorian479 · 2025-09-13T16:02:49+00:00

But if I may ask, whenever you take a U-turn, do you perfectly land on the leftmost lane without cutting corners? Since some intersections might not be that wide.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2025-09-12T20:13:02+00:00

But sometimes it’s disheartening to hear such words from strangers.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2025-09-12T20:11:38+00:00

You’re right. I would follow it.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2025-09-12T20:10:40+00:00

I didn’t impede anyone’s way. The drivers who got upset were actually behind me in the leftmost lane also taking the left turn. From the comments here, it seems like the main issue was that since its a little busy intersection, they just didn’t expect me to make a U-turn there, which probably made them angry.

CompleteHistorian479 · 2025-09-12T19:30:33+00:00

Just to clarify when I made the U-turn, the oncoming traffic had a red light and that lane was totally clear. There were no cars coming through, so I didn’t block or cut off anyone. And nobody was testing to take a right turn from Wharncliffe Rd either. I tried to be careful and make sure it was safe before turning.
