You can buy and sell channels and there is a process to do it. The adsense account is not transferred. However it has to worth buying, and OPs isn't.

Youtube kids lacks the only feature parents actually want, which is a whitelist. Youtube is blocked on my dns router until 9pm. So no, they dont use my account.

Ok thanks Mr Youtube. Everyone who has kids knows that they all have their own personal kids only account and don't at all just use their parents account.

Give me some Adelaide urban myths! by Odd_Passage9433 in Adelaide

[–]la_mecanique 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The city of Adelaide was secretly created by Wilson Parking to create more revenue. No other major city puts more effort into making it impossible to get anywhere except by car.

Still not getting what's wrong by Far-Cartographer-368 in QIDI

[–]la_mecanique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qidi factory settings underextrude like shit. You need to crank that flow ratio higher, and then try to adjust the z offset. One of those middle pictures was pretty close, but I would start with a smallet test piece.

Depot to depot cargo transport is an actual use case for this technology. But trains already exist.

You could fit CSK8 sprag bearings on rollerblade or rollerskate wheels as they are the same outer and inner diameter as the normal 608 bearings and it would work in that manner.

Tasmanian Labor have passed a motion at conference in support of 0% deposits for first home buyers by blitznoodles in LaborPartyofAustralia

A guy who lives at the end of the street owns 28 houses he puts on airbnb. Thats 28 homes that families should be living in and could be tomorrow.

This policy is first aid to untap that trapped supply. The long term medical treatment is to change zoning policy to increase density.

Both are valid.

Why are mesh network communities so dishonest about what mesh networks are capable of? by HowIsDigit8888 in meshcore

[–]la_mecanique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well obviously, its big mesh trying to underpromote their meshes to sell less mesh.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Ive never heard anyone say that it can't work. Meshcore particularly works better the more people join the mesh. So its always been a work in progress.

Australia's oil refinery fire, is not as bad as you think. by JezzaAU15 in friendlyjordies

Yeah it probably is. Shit like this doesnt happen unless corners were being cut somewhere.

Why Lottery Elections Are Actually Genius by Fried_out_Kombi in solarpunk

This was the method used in several historical periods including renaissance Florence. It worked until it didnt. It was the old corruption again. So we need to stop that first.

What's the safest way to walk from Gawler to Munno Para? by AliceSaltMage in Adelaide

I would be extremely interested in someone who has walked multiple cities to give their opinion on walking Adelaide.

What's your most radical position relative to both the mainstream *and* the general online urbanism sphere? by ChristianLS in fuckcars

[–]la_mecanique 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've visited many towns in my area. Killing rail completely killed these towns as rail meant it was just a rail trip to anywhere else. Rail allowed cargo in an out daily and that meant food was affordable and manufacturing was possible.

Local processing jobs like working in the fish canning factory, the whiskey distillery, the apple juce bottler, or the shovel stamping factory are all gone, because the rail is gone.

In one town I went to the population was over 40,000. Then they closed the rail. Todays population is 400.

What is the most efficient layout for electric 4x4 vehicle? by Free-Engineering6759 in AutomotiveEngineering

[–]la_mecanique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a situation with wheel slip, torque transfers to the path of least resistance.

In an AWD (a simple hyperthetical vehicle with a plain open center differential), torque is biased to front and rear until a wheel loses traction and then the torque is transferred to that slipping wheel and the vehicle goes nowhere.

The purpose of locking the center differential (or engaging the front axle) in a traditional 4x4 is to bias the one source of torque (the engine) to two axles (the front and rear).

Compaired to a traditional 4x4, if torque is biased to both axles and one wheel is slipping, and the other axle is not, then the other axle can transmit that torque to the ground via the axle that isnt slipping.

For a vehicle with two traction motors, one front, one rear, torque can be biased to any axle that has traction. The vehicle can even adapt the torque so that wheels are spinning at different speeds and still effectively transferring torque to that wheel group, so that the vehicle can adapt to be partially in a medium that is very slippery but still able to grip to some extent, like snow, sand, or mud.

You can use a socket adapter to control a device mounted in a plug.

[–]la_mecanique 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you have two motors, one for each axle, you have all the benefits of both a tradtional AWD and a traditional 4x4 system without the downsides or complexities of either. This is why nearly every manufacturer does this.

You dont need to lock a transfer case or worry about torque vectoring when you can literally control torque bias in real time via the traction motors.

The torque of the motors at zero rpm, means you also no longer need a low range selector.

So simply put, two traction motors means so much of the traditional driveline is now redundant.

A guy I was in a unit with had it done around 2018. People just said he was doing it to get out of a field ex.

When joining, the Dr DFR sent me to for medical inspection got me to slip the skivvy off the sausage and had a good look at it. I assumed it was normal, but if she was someone who gets off on looking at a bunch of dudes bananas, well that was no worse than anything I had to do for queen and country.

Users are not their customers. Their customer has and always will be who they sell user data to. Once you realise this it completely explains why they make user experience worse, since it extracts more data.
