Oh, so the premise is false then? Because that's not even close to being a non-computerized engine. It just isn't subject to Deere DRM. That's an important improvement, but not "old, low tech" let alone "no tech".
We've been dealing with strict emission standards for agricultural vehicles since 2006. Current US regulations are Tier 4 and Tier 5.
Yeah, sorry, I meant for old ones too. They're just past the incentives phase now where they were paying for older machines to be upgraded to newer systems through the FARMER program. Sooner or later they'll just make it mandatory.
there is no reason for ag engine makers to target California
It is a massive market.
I wish they'd done a few more seasons of Stargate Universe. I'm curious where the story would have gone, and what they would have found.
It took too long to get to the good part, by which time it had lost people.
If they had compressed seasons 1 and 2 into one season and lost the most worthless episodes, they might have gone on.
When the show is called Stargate, you expect Stargatey stuff. They set the expectation, then failed to meet it.
Yeah yeah, I've had this conversation with you before and it was unfulfilling last time. In case you missed it, your right to have unnecessary emissions ends where my lungs begin.
For north America and Europe, Kirovets used a standard 6-cylinder Mercedes engine that was Tier 4 compliant
MBE90something? The late ones are OK, the early ones are pretty bad. Not enough head bolts.
They're also massive hypocrites. Most are Trump voters who themselves employ questionable labor.
"We didn't think they would deport OUR Mexicans"
Then we're supposed to believe that farmers aren't stupid.
Just buy a Japanese car from about 1990-1994 and you're there. OBD-II didn't become mandatory until 1996, but some 1995 models have it too like in the Nissan 240SX. 1994 is the last OBD-I model there. These vehicles tend to have sequential fuel injection and the only emissions equipment is EGR and an O2 sensor for mixture control. They are easy to megasquirt and in some cases you can even buy a premade harness. One advantage of a vehicle like this is that even in California you're allowed to use aftermarket emissions parts, e.g. it's legal to install a high flow catalyst on a 1994 model.
Sadly I've sold both of my cars that were like this, I've had a 1989 240SX and a 1993 Impreza. I miss them both real bad. Now I own a 2008 Versa. It's OK. It is pretty much what you describe. It has a 1.8 but allegedly you can put the 2 liter from the Sentra into it (MR18 -> MR20 swap) and the ECU will adapt to it, as it's just a stroker motor. It has cruise control and manual windows, and mine came without infotainment. I put an Android stereo in it.
jeez, how about an edit button
It's right there next to the Submit button. It says "preview". Then you edit.
Unless of course you're on mobile. It's shit in that way. But then, literally everything about the mobile interface is shit.
you'd solve a lot of your problems if it were.
It's preferable to solve problems without creating new problems. HTH, HAND.
even if that were true, china and russia (and iran) have very powerful reasons to put any conflict aside for the time being. also, none of them are typical expansionist/colonialist mindset nations (unlike the west)
Donbas what?
oh, btw, about "russia infiltrating ukraine"
Ukraine had paved streets and multi-story buildings while Russians were still crawling in the mud.
Supposedly, all currently pending orders for new superyachts are for owners in the Ukraine.
Are you just now learning that war is profitable for some people?
Ukraine needs to:
(a) make an offer that the Russians can at least use as a fig leaf to concede peace.
Never pay the dane-geld.
Why? So Ukrainian people can live. So its current leader can live. So the country is not at risk.
The only way that's true is if Russia is destroyed. Is that what you want?
This is true only if "can be done" includes the fine print "maybe within the lifetime of the universe"
At this rate, that's still going to be before someone makes a practical quantum computer. These clowns are dicking around with a handful of qubits with which they can't do anything useful and claiming they're going to have a working and useful solution in three years? Absolute nonsense.
Minix was virtually as functional - had Tanenbaum released it under the GPL or a more permissive license, there's a good chance - given Linux's history - we'd be using Minix with the Linux kernel today.
No. GNU was taking over Unix before Linux even existed. Unix sysadmins were installing GNU tools as fast as they could from early days.
Why would they duplicate the dev effort and take on the expense of creating software which would then make it more difficult to interoperate with their American business / trade partner?
Because the American product they were getting, Windows, was shit?
You know, Callahan's is a peaceable bar, but if you ask that dog what his favorite formatter is, and he says "roff! roff!", well, I'll just have to...
