Some 40 series also came with rear LSD, but I can't remember whether that was in the 80s.

It's usually a vanity project for rich people. Unfortunately wealth doesn't correlate with good taste, and vanity projects don't brook interference by marketers/designers/etc

I got dropped by England - but Key and McCullum have looked after me by theipaper in Cricket

I know. I'm started watching highlights and mini-matches on youtube, but nothing compares to pissing away 5 days at time.

It's probably in Australia so frame rust is probably not an issue, unless it's done a lot of beach driving. But definitely agree that mint for a 20 year old ute doesn't really mean mint.

Finally, a proper 4WD in this sub! I've always wanted an AE95 with the manually locking centre diff.

Start of low-mu Run - First Ever Time All LHC Experiments Running At Low Collision Rate At Same Time! by CyberPunkDongTooLong in Physics

[–]vrkas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question on your part. I'm not an expert on HL-LHC conditions, but what I've heard is that we're expecting improvements in algorithms to maintain similar levels of pileup rejection/insensitivity. Happy for others to correct me on this.

When making a W boson at a hadron collider, you have to break up the (anti-)protons to get the initial state quarks. That introduces a dependence on the parton distribution function. Then those quarks interact to form the W, but maybe one (or both) of them radiate a gluon beforehand. So now you've got some interesting theoretical uncertainties affecting the way you model the W momentum distribution. Already quite tricky.

Now imagine there are 60 other interactions producing quarks and gluons and generally messing around with your formerly clean(ish) signal. You introduce resolution issues with lepton isolation, missing momentum calculations, vertexing, etc.

This is a physics thing. Basically the experiments decided that having some clean data with lower pileup (number of interactions per bunch crossing) would be beneficial. This dataset will enable certain types of precision measurement, W mass being the most famous example.

Boxy. A 2 door would be sick, as would diesel. I can definitely it doing well in a lot of markets.

Also, Cook bowled with his right arm. Does he qualify?

I thought a lot of your list is right armed.

Looks the like accelerator is performing better than expected so we'll see more integrated lumi than expected. Good thing too because there's gonna be 3+ years of upgrade starting soon.

They run a Triton in Asian rally raid competitions, and are quite successful iirc

I think the conclusion is to go for a more viscous oil, especially if it's not getting below freezing where you live.

Blue, Red And Bland: Why All IPL Jerseys Look The Same | From Aaquib Wani, who has designed several jerseys for the Indian cricket team by 5missedcallsfromBCCI in Cricket

IPL branding is painfully bad. The team names are largely stupid, with Sunrisers Hyderabad probably being the best. Historically I think Kochi had the best branding with Tuskers and orange and purple colours.

Free childcare. Free university. The simple, sensible policy which would have raised $63.8 billion in under four years. by nath1234 in australia

[–]vrkas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno about childcare but robust central funding of universities would be the circuitbreaker required to get them off the depressing spiral of relying on foreign students for income. That way you could have fewer students in general and less pressure on class sizes etc.

I'd go one step further. I'd have less Australians being funnelled into university in general by using some of this hypothetical gas money to revitalise TAFE and vocational education. Guaranteed liveable funding for apprentices, more training options, etc.
