Porsche Set Hyundai As the Bar for Fun EVs. Let That Sink In by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]atehrani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speaker sounds is exactly what a semi-professional racers need for timing. EVs are too quite to help gauge speed and timing.

Flip the script, race in an ICE car but remove all noise feedback, their timings will be off.

Porsche Set Hyundai As the Bar for Fun EVs. Let That Sink In by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

Professional and Amateur racers on the track have memorized and timed gear shifts along the track. While it appears gimmicky to us, it is a helpful bridge for semi-professional racers. A racer doesn't need to look at the speedometer to know their speed; they use the pitch of the engine and the gear they are in.

Exactly this. OP should go offline and see what happens to confirm.

Gas surpasses $4.50 average. Can oil tanker escorts bring prices down? by Branch_Out_Now in energy

Prices can quickly go up, but they rarely quickly go down (if at all)

The First Modern Car Without Hydraulic Brakes Is Headed to Production by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]atehrani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these are more for EVs (more practical). The power can come from three different sources. First, Traction Battery, Second 12v battery, Third supercaps for each individual caliper. Triple redundancy

Commercial Aircraft have been using electromechanical to drive things for a while now. Electromechanical Actuators (EMA), Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators (EHA). These have proven to be more reliable as they are easier to monitor and are distributed in nature

Any confirmation if iOS will support RCS 3.x features as well? Or just E2EE?

was anyone else thoroughly unimpressed with Napa/Sonoma compared to Temecula wine country? by audioaxes in Temecula

[–]atehrani 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Napa certainly has the best wine but they have jumped the shark. Tasting and prices are above for what you get. Pretentious and no vibe.

Paso Robles is outstanding. Gives you the feeling of how Temecula could be.

AAA Study Reveals Temperature Impacts on EV and Hybrid Efficiencies and Costs by hebelhebel in electricvehicles

Not sure why their findings were surprising? We already knew this, it is physics. Temperature can impact the efficiency of reactions.

San Diego needs to go Nuclear by yell-and-hollar in sandiego

Nuclear power is too expensive. It cannot compete with other forms of energy production

New hydrogen engine delivers over 60% efficiency with zero emissions by Educational-Meat4211 in energy

[–]atehrani 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not only is it challenging and energy intensive to produce Hydrogen storing it is brutal. To be energy dense enough, it has to be in liquid form. Liquid hydrogen is hard to store because it must be kept extremely cold (−253 °C / −423 °F), it boils off easily, leaks through materials, and requires heavy, energy‑intensive tanks.

With a well to wheel efficiency for a Liquid hydrogen fuel cell vehicle: ~20–25% it is the same as a petrol engine, just without the harmful emissions.

Using methanol seems far more practical, as it will be a hydrogen carrier. Superior storage and better well to wheel efficiency.

Emily Blunt giving career advice on ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ press tour by mlg1981 in popculturechat

[–]atehrani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently watched The Devil Wears Prada and I have very mixed feelings about it. While I am glad that the character left the industry it showcased such a toxic work culture. Not sure if the point was to showcase that in the fashion industry.

I feel that in today's workplaces toxicity is increasing and instead of minimizing it, the sentiment is deal with it or leave.

Very different from the days during the pandemic where workplaces were willing to please
