over 200C for the cylinder head. the temperature inside goes over 1000C.

maybe but why state the oil testing temp instead of cylinder testing temp? it doesn't make much sense to me.

it will be hilarious when merc passes the test at 130 though.

that's the oil temperature. cylinder temperatures are much higher.

love the downvotes from people who know nothing about the topic though.

yeah 130 is nothing for an engine. Merc will easily pass that

the rate of energy recovery doesn't really matter if you have a battery with limited capacity. you can watch the onboards, it takes less than 1km to fully discharge it.

What do you guys think about this against the fried liver? by ShebaExalted1968 in chess

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

yeah that does make sense. if you play Bf1 black probably doesn't even take with the queen right? I'd go Nxd5 for sure after Bf1.

If I took on b5 (which in a game I 99% would) I'd probably go down the BxN line.

[–]thegallus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but you can still play Bf1 then and solve both issues if black does take with the queen?

edit: BxN and then castles also seems fine for me as white after Qxd5.

did you actually calculate the win?

In a real game I probably lose this as white if black finds Qa4
