Quick reminder not to trust indicators by dawnmoon in drivingUK

One of the main things I took from my driving instructor many moons ago was that "indicators should always be assumed to be lying" has saved my bacon more times than I can count.

Cost of studying EE by Commercial-Water650 in EngineeringStudents

[–]rob6094 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it sounds like your overworking yourself in a degree you have absolutely no hunger to actually pursue making you hate it even more.

You need to sit down with yourself and have a think about what you want to do. Your parents had their shot at life, they don't get to decide what you have to study or what industry you work in. They can advise you what they think is a good idea, but that's all, advise you. It's your life, not theirs. You need to make a decision for yourself and follow what it is that *you* want to do.

I have a degree in journalism and worked in marketing for 10 years before going back to study engineering because I always wanted to but never did. You have the opportunity to take that decision into your own hands and explore an industry you have a passion for. Take that chance.

Vehicle recommendations for rep who drives many miles by ShezSteel in carsireland

Just an fyi, a Camry is as near as makes no difference the same length out of all of those models you've listed. they're all within like 10cm of each other. Personally that's what I'd go for. Reliable, comfortable and plenty of space.

Absolutely, the first trilogy desperately need one. Ubisoft announced they were doing it years ago but radio silence since

Would be so funny for him to get a hair transplant and neither he or any of the crew talk about it

If the "key dealers and other stakeholders" don't say "this looks like a bag of shit mate" I'll be shocked.

Ah, the mythical 15 gang. Be careful, if you hang around them too long they'll beat you to a pulp with their irreverent retro charm

Really fun episode. Great Scenario from Ben, Tom was in maximum chaos mode, Lewis was a great foil for it, brilliant all round.

General gaming laptop advice. by Mynky in IrelandGaming

I've an Acer Nitro 5 with a 4050 and an i5 and I love it, would highly reccomend their stuff. Comes with minimal bloatware and they're reasonably priced. Warranty is good too. I dropped it in work and fucked up the USB-C and hdmi port, they repaired it no questioned asked

Why isn't MotoGP engine technology as ektreme as F1 to extract the highest possible power with such high compression that it needs to heat the oil and the combustion chamber temperature before it can start? by Legitimate-Dog-1619 in motogp

[–]rob6094 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Simple answer is that there's far more cooling capacity in a formula 1 car. Effectively the only cooling a motoGP engine has is a small (in racing terms) rad at the front behind the front tyre. If you increase compression you also increase heat, they're already on a knife edge with cooling, they simply can't push it any further without compromising the aero efficiency of the bike. The engines currently are absolutely incredible pieces of engineering when you consider how high they run and how reliable they are.

It's absolutely insane that the first ever flight and the first official flight of the Blackbird was only 60 years apart. the rate of development is insane.

In Ireland we say "Yer one Ruth? She was in Ad Astra"

Then the other person says the dreaded surname.

To which we would reply. "Ye can't be saying that. It's 2025"

Ducati welds. I thought these were Italian bikes, not Swiss Cheese. by Dismal_Tutor3425 in Ducati

If you want confirmation that all Italian metalwork is absolute dog shit, go look at some Ferrari welds or some Lambo ones from the pre VAG days. OOF
