Or firmly apply the brakes. These are toyotas after all, not 800hp supercharged corvettes*.

Gravity is just a theory.

Yes, they're operating in the GTA. Though its rare I heard Toronto called 'western canada'

Because it generally is. Engineers have long pushed the 85th percentile rule, and design the roads for for a speed based on certain guidelines. Then councils ignore that and set much lower limits. The result is completely unchallenging roadways which cause drivers to either become bored and distracted.

However the crusade for sane speed limits is consistently ruined by the think of the childreners and their ilk.

From what I recall, spedometers are calibrated to an offset range. Something like 1% low to 10% high. So on average they read too high. Exact accuracy is hard as a change in tire pressure or vehicle loading will change the effective wheel radius.

Heat pumps work like air conditioners. You use 1 joule of energy to move 2 joules of energy from one place to another. So while it only draws 1 joule, you now have 3 joules of heat at the output side, and 2 joules less heat on the 'sink' side.

Keywords to google for: "coefficient of performance heat pump"

I hadn't touched opera in years until today. I was testing a site im working on that does a bunch of ajaxy calls then plots data on a graph. In comparing the major browsers, I was blown away at how much faster opera was. Better than twice as fast as chrome and FF. Internet explorer took about 4 times as long as chrome/ff.

It certainly wasn't the only place. But it was one of the larger ones.

At least most of the others didn't use that stupid cities infrastructure.

My samsung u740 reaches from my ear to my mouth. That's one of the reasons I got it. When you flip it out long-ways its really quite large. Have a full beard (not too long though) and no issues.

Plus it has a full keyboard, which is a bonus.

A potato battery doesn't actually take any energy from the potato. It's really a copper and zinc powered battery.

I had one of those GUI BIOSs too. Also on an old 486. Neat interface. Haven't seen anything like it since.

Here's a screenshot of the one I had.
