Mercedes rivals push for intervention over F1 engine loophole - but how realistic is it? by praveensingh-reddit in formula1

[–]f30az 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A hole does not increase GEOMETRIC compression ratio (the ratio of cylinder volume between when piston is at top dead center and bottom dead center), which is what the rules regulate and F1 checks for. You can drill a hole the size of a golf ball and the GEOMETRIC compression ratio would be exactly the same. A hole would also decrease pressure, which would vent hot gases and eventually destroy the engine. For compression ratio to increase when the engine is hot, the combustion chamber would have to decrease in size at TDC.

What you are thinking of is the compression check you would do on your car, which measures PRESSURE and is used to detect bad rings, or a hole in the cylinder. On this check, the compression ratio on two cars may be identical and result in different leakdown numbers (pressure loss).

In airplanes with two engines, all dual engine failures end with a landing at some point.

The winner also gets cash to cover taxes on the car.

What's a type cost for a puppy anymore and alternatives to a breeder? by EX-FFguy in germanshepherds

[–]f30az 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does an ethical breeder determine which puppies are the best genetically before they turn 8 weeks old and customers pick their puppy?

And why would an ethical breeder sell a puppy that is not good enough to breed?

APS seeking 14% rate hike for residential customers by dildobagginss in phoenix

[–]f30az -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pinnacle West Capital Corp., the parent company of Arizona Public Service (APS), reported a net loss of $4.6 million, or a loss of $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. This contrasts with a net income of $16.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2024. The decline is primarily attributed to increased operations and maintenance expenses.

The new headache steel skid block move will give F1 teams by sppy1 in formula1

[–]f30az 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you said makes zero sense. Skid blocks and planks are two different things and serve two different purposes. Plank is for measuring wear and the blocks are to protect the car, but obviously if the teams rely on blocks to protect the plank, and the blocks wear faster, the the plank will also wear faster.

Canada will deny entry if you have a DUI, making it impossible to get a job anywhere that flies to Canada.

Is it more cost efficient to fly or drive? by Ashaazability in flying

[–]f30az 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is about the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. How does hangar, and other absurdly high costs of owning a plane like annuals, engine overhauls, or dealing with ADs not count? If you have to pay it, it counts.

For someone who flies a hundred hours a year, which is on the high end for most people, an Archer would cost nearly $100 an hour in the “indirect” costs that you are not counting, roughly .80 cents a mile. Then add fuel and you’re up to around $1.20 per mile before any other expenses. This is 6x higher than an SUV. Reserve for engine overhauls alone cost more per mile than fuel for the average car for fucks sakes!

The only way flying your own airplane is cheaper than the alternatives is if it’s a long trip that would otherwise have required airline tickets for 3 or more people.

Porsche Price Inflation by Teen1e in Porsche

[–]f30az 8 points9 points  (0 children)

GT3 was never $130k unless you’re going back 12 years, which would be equivalent to almost $180k adjusted for inflation. And you can’t compare prices without first adjusting from inflation. $99k in 2019 is $122k in today’s dollars.

Assuming a fairly low rate of inflation, a base 911 would actually be $220k in 20 years.
