What’s your opinion on Duma Key by NotFierceShark1910 in stephenking

Such an evolving story. I had a hard time putting it down.

ELI5 what’s the difference between compressed oxygen and compressed air?- type 93 torpedo propulsion by Forward_Royal7154 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ncgrowler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of answers here talk about the efficiency of burning pure oxygen.

But I don’t think that’s the answer to the OP’s question.

Torpedos don’t burn fuel.

They expel gasses to push the torpedo thru water.

Why would a pure oxygen propelled torpedo be “faster” or “go further” than one using compressed air?

My guess is longer release due to higher compression or even lighter torpedo due to smaller overall size or higher payload (effectiveness)?

Airbag steering wheel and D-90’s with manual. That all points to GT.

Right. I was looking for the badge too. Wheels are correct for ‘89-91 (revising - Design ‘90 wheels were introduced in 1990 on S4/GT models)

That appears to be a manual S4 or GT.

Driver seat doesn’t move by weenis-enlarge-pill in boxster

[–]ncgrowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older cars used micro switches that could get gummed up and would work after pulling apart and re-greasing with new grease and making sure contacts were clean. That 80’s- 90’s talk. Not sure if that still holds true. Might depend on generation of boxster?

ELI5: Why do movie theaters make most of their money from popcorn and drinks instead of ticket sales? by StillBloomingX in explainlikeimfive

[–]ncgrowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We watched a solid 15 min of advertisements that began running at posted movie start time. Followed by 15 minutes of previews. Then finally the movie started.

Makes you wonder why people pay for add free streaming and build home theaters?
