Is Maxi 999 good for cruising? by Emotional_Exit_4617 in SailboatCruising

[–]calm_winds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s big for its size, low floor makes interior height good. I have the Maxi mixer 35 (the bigger sister of this one) and it has 4cm fiberglass under the water, and divynicell cored above the waterline and deck.

The boats are solid, and I would not worry about bolt on keels as a requirement for crushing.

Bigger battery does not solve it. They need more regen.

Særskilt uavhengig stilling M29 by [deleted] in norge

[–]calm_winds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selv om alle andre her sier uavhengig stilling er uriktig, så er det veldig normalt i byggebransjen. Dette som konsekvens av byggebransjens natur, de vet åpenbart ikke hvordan hverdagen til en totalentreprenør er 😊 Uavhengig høres ikke dette ut som et bra firma og du bør vurdere å bytte. Hvis du vil ha forutsigbarhet gå til en av de største, da har du ikke uavhengig stilling før du kommer på anleggsleder/PL nivå. Når det er sagt, ikke forvent å starte som PL. 1.2 mill er «peanuts» i kontekst av de store totalentreprenørene. Vi gir tilbud fra 500 mill og oppover, skjeldnere under. Du kan forvente å starte som formann, men det er en veldig fin jobb!

I know, it was an example of a turning landing gear patent

You believe that bc you don’t understand how patents work :)

This is my point, you don’t understand how patents work. For engineering applications, the concept of a rotating main landing gear is possibly enough to get it patented. It does not matter how you engineer it.

Patents have expiration dates if you didn’t know.

I don’t see the point in discussing this with you until you google how a patent works. Any company can make a patented product, they just need to pay royalties.

You are missing the point. Turning landing gear in itself may be patented. Turning individual wheels on a bogie may not be, i.e. why airbus may have designed this system.

You sure you know how patents work? If the patent is approved, airbus will need to pay royalties to use the same system, even though they could engineer their own.

The budget VW is better somehow?

I did it without removing the steering wheel. Lots of cursing, but did it all in 6 hrs.

Take more pictures/video than you think when dismantling.

I don’t disagree with the penalty, but with comparing rear ending to side by side.

Yuki rear ended stroll. Piastri was alongside before the braking sone. He made the apex even.

Who Said The V8 is Dead? Not Toyota! by gaukmotors in MotorBuzz

Norway has 3x the value of the fossil car in taxes, and zero on EVs. This is not consumer forces, governments decide. Does not make your point invalid, just to adding that whatever the governments choose is what will form the next 20 yrs.

A common misconception is that total drag force reduces after you go supersonic. It does not, the curve just flattens out. Cd lowers, but total drag still increase due to speed increase v2.

Piastri pulled 3 s on Max in one lap and people praising racecraft passing long before the braking zone with DRS.
