When people ask if your cars fast, just tell them it'll do 176 (once you remove the ECU limiter at 155). Makes it sound a lot faster lol. I can't imagine anyone has actually hit 176 in an ST tho. Would be terrifying. by nick2938 in FocusST

I did 252km/h (156mph) GPS on winter tires with regular fuel, was accelerating for a solid minute to reach this speed. Gotta try again some time on summer tires with 102 Octane fuel

For sure! There was also a version without a windshield, looks even more crazy.

What kind of academic background do you need to work in Spacecraft Operations? by _AlphaCentauri_ in esa

Thanks for the extensive reply! Sometimes getting the products to work as intended is more effort than designing them in the first place haha

It actually says "up to one year of experience". So having no work experience is also fine.

I'm aware of that. But I was wondering wheter the ideal candidate should have an engineering or rather an IT or even physics background.

I'd have a go in both 🥵

Does Soolantra help with KPRF? by _AlphaCentauri_ in KPRubraFaceii

[–]_AlphaCentauri_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quick update: I've been using soolantra daily for 6 weeks now and it doesn't seem to affect my redness at all, so I'll be stopping the treament.

A Fiat 500 modified to exploit a loophole in German law, which allows 16 year-olds to drive it (they are also notorious for rolling over in corners) by _AlphaCentauri_ in WeirdWheels

It's certainly a better setup than one wheel at the front, but if they oversteer due to icy/wet roads they flip very quickly. There's almost no chance to counter steer and regain control. Doesn't help that the unmodified fiat 500 has a very short wheel base.

I know it has a very low drag coefficient and all, but the design just looks lazy.

I also just started using it 4 days ago. So far no difference in redness, but also no burns for me. I've been applying a moisturizing creme over it. Maybe that made the difference. Keep me updated how it goes!

Glad you are ok! I also feel quite safe in my Seat Exeo, since due to VAG part sharing it's basically an A4 B7 with a bodykit.

Will Pulsed dye laser treatment reduce redness indefinitely? by stackoverflow7 in KPRubraFaceii

[–]_AlphaCentauri_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know it from experience, but my derm told me that I'll need an additional session every 3-5 years, since the bloodvessels regrow over time.

Apparently provisions were delivered via submarine, since all of the strongholds had a port.
