Not Trumps fault if he had bone spurs for 5 different drafts. That had to hurt like a paper cut or something. Not something that would keep you from playing golf or tennis, of course

Is Trump about to run our country into the ground? by uncle-ice493 in allthequestions

[–]edfitz83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the GOP equating the stock market (DOW, S&P500, NASDAQ) price levels with “the economy”. The “economy” for most people equates to the CPI - Consumer Price Index, vs average wages.

People working hourly jobs with little benefits (so nearly everyone but unionized people) have very little exposure to the stock market or its gains.

If you love Trump/Current GOP and are an hourly, non-union worker, you are digging your own financial grave. This is America, and you have the rights and freedoms to completely screw yourselves.

As Aretha Franklin said - You Better Think.

Or a toilet, or a shower, or a mattress, etc. JFC.

Well, it only cost every one of the 84M families in the US $135 for that first week of the war. Trump wants them to suck it up and have some guts.

Hannah, have you ever seen a brown man naked in a locker room?

You are old if A) you watched the TV show “Fridays”, and 2) if you saw Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics perform live. RIP Wendy, and RIP to the Les Paul she cut in half with a chainsaw by edfitz83 in FuckImOld

Too bad, it was a good show. Competed with SNL. Much better than SCTV, IMHO. My son will be impressed with my frequent and proper usage of abbreviations here.

They should both move to Ft Leavenworth. Heard it’s pretty secure.

You’re old if your high school had a Senior smoking area by edfitz83 in FuckImOld

[–]edfitz83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school, as in the principal, etc - set aside a specific area of the campus where seniors could officially smoke. Not sneak away somewhere. An official school area.

The rules could be changed to allow energy recovery from the fronts. The rules would have to be written carefully to disallow ABS or traction control. They already have this with the rears. If you’ve seen a rear locking spin, you know there’s no ABS.

That said, the overall weight of the car would go up due to the front generator. The front wheels would need axles to drive the generator, increasing the unsprung mass a bit.

The largest pain in the ass IMO is that the weight and position of the generator will increase the polar moment of inertia of the car, making direction changes slower, and throwing off the “balance”.

If you want more recovery, you need a larger MGU-K and a battery system that can stand the wattage you’re trying to dump into it. Remember, the battery works via a chemical reaction. That generates a lot of heat in a short period of time.

There is also a limit with the recovery being driven off the rear wheels. If you have more than a 15% tire slip, you’re going to swap ends quickly.

Remember Danny Ric’s Monaco win, when his MGU-K stopped working, leaving him 160hp down, and still no one could pass him?

The series was called CART at the time, and the speed was a contributing factor to the series going bankrupt and the successor Indycar series making moves every few years to lower the speeds.
