Thank you VERY much for this interesting clarification.
Yeah, sheesh, what a spoiler! At least he's getting around to it faster in the movies than in the books. Man, I was REALLY getting tired of that series when I finally finished it. Or did I just give up on it? Can't remember, not interested enough to find out.
Yep, glasses be damned. Pinhole is fine for me.
"When will someone rid us of these sanctimonious Puritans?"
Be careful what you ask for. Didn't some British king have a problem with such a request?
Well said indeed. I do NOT understand where some of these people are coming from.
If it lands in my back yard, do I get to keep it? I'm thinking of previous situations: F-117, Boeing airliner door plug, thermonuclear bomb here in Nawth Ca'lina, etc.
with a professional actor protesting such rude behavior. Good for him.
I thought it was the Unholy Trinity!
Hear hear.
Fully agree. I was just starting out in programming then, had a good handle on BASIC, 8088 assembly language, etc., but couldn't afford the MS licensing
The Hell! I've been using Firefox faithfully since it first came out (can't even remember how long ago that was!). I wonder what the problem is: I've never had a complaint, really.
Good on ya for mentioning biochar. Great stuff, so I understand. Not perfect, but I think much better than burying blocks of carbon (well, kind of) underground.
[quote]* Higher unsprung mass: the wheels become significantly heavier. This causes a wide range of worse handling problems (both ride feel and safety), inertia keeps the wheels from responding as quickly to changes in the road.
The motor isn't inside the wheel.[/quote]
I worry about that unsprung mass too. Sure, the motor isn't inside the wheel (yet), but all that gear reduction stuff is. That wheel will be significantly heavier. But maybe unsprung mass isn't all that important in "normal" vehicles, just in the high-end stuff, racing cars, situations where the sprung wheel really has to move a LOT.
