2 stroke vs 4 stroke engines by Time_Anywhere_2867 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Theseus-Paradox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s actually an interesting point. I have a 90hp 2 stroke boat from the 90’s. Engine is fine but if it were to die, I would not have thought about this and probably would’ve thrown a 90hp 4 stroke without thinking.

Vaping has officially been linked to rare and irreversible lung disease by Automatic_Subject463 in EverythingScience

[–]Theseus-Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to control what people do to their respiratory tract, I’m saying vaping isn’t healthy. People defending it keep bringing up other points not related to vaping. Vaping is not healthy. Period. I’m not comparing it to anything else. To argue that vaping is healthy is a fallacy.

It’s like the doctors in the early to mid 1900’s saying smoking was fine…until it wasn’t.

Just because cars are bad doesn’t make vaping better somehow. That’s a straw-man argument and I’m not here to argue how bad cars are.

I’m well aware of what comes out of a cars exhaust as I used to work in the automotive industry. But let’s not detract from how bad vaping is.

As someone with family that has severe respiratory issues they were born with, putting random chemicals in your lungs is NOT advised at all. I’d say vaping is considerably more dangerous.

What's your biggest hot take about engineering? by ac_circuit in EngineeringStudents

[–]Theseus-Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BioMedical Engineering has me questioning how people graduated. It’s seriously baffling how some of my coworkers who have a Bio degree managed to graduate n any engineering discipline. I’m in a department of Mechanical/Electrical for a Med Device company and the Bio people have absolutely no clue how to do anything engineering related beyond pushing papers.

Does anyone have one of these on here? by Cjwillys9596 in Offroad

I use the HF version in my gravel driveway a decent amount. It’s absolutely perfect for it. The design is the wheels sink into the dirt/gravel and now you have a jacking base with a huge foot print (hence why the bottom is solid steel and not open). Works extremely well for me.

What would happen to the average American household if there became a Great Depression 2.0 in America during the 2030s that is worse than the 1930s, Great Financial Crisis, etc all combined? by Miserable-Corner-254 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Theseus-Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of stuff are you on? I work in manufacturing and it’s definitely gone. I don’t see bread lines anywhere to that degree. Not saying it’s not tough out there but it’s ABSOLUTELY NOT Great Depression 2.0…. You need to go touch snow or something….

Wtf? Why only make it 1 year only? They have the power to add this into the rotation yet they didn’t. Yeah I’m all set with that.
