“I was not an undercover agent, just your run of the mill insurrectionist.”


Just install an adverb blocker.


Language evolves.


At this point, I think the war is over when Ukraine says its over.
Was it Worldcom? Or was that also older than I think it was? I forget when Gateway died, same with Compaq. Cell carriers die off all the time.


DE is for ghost companies.


Ouroboros eating ouroboros.


Mmm, Brave is a little sketch IIRC.


Interesting, I was unaware of that one.
I’ll look more into it later, learn about its failure modes and whatnot, but off the top of my head, it seems like it would still be a less effective system. I think I would much rather have one axle working. That mitigates the case where the two wheels are on different frictional surfaces, which could leave you with just a single wheel braking.
And still, if the fluid reservoir is a single undivided container, I’m not able to imagine a case where two wheels - horizontal or diagonal - would fail at once.


Show me one car that has diagonally opposite hydraulic brakes. I dare you.
They’re all split front/rear because the different axles provide different braking power. Most of the braking happens in the front; rear is primarily for stability. When you press the pedal, in fact, the rear brakes engage slightly before the front in order to add stability while braking.


Diagonally opposite? No, it’s front and rear. However, brake fluid reservoirs haven’t been split for decades now, so if your fluid leaks out, every wheel is affected. It’s still highly unlikely that you’re going to have a leak that suddenly dumps all the fluid, unless you’re driving a very old and rotten car, in which case you probably know what you’ve gotten into.
Brakes that “fail on” while the vehicle is moving can be catastrophic for some dingus in a car. Truck drivers have much more intensive training and specialized licensing.
Hydraulic brakes in a car will still stop the car in a relatively controlled fashion even if the system is incredibly degraded, and they are purely mechanical. With wires, there’s a chance that the brakes go from “working normally” to “not working at all” without any warning. Hydraulic brakes fail gradually.


Pipe dream. The ownership class will never stop exploiting labor willingly.
The only thing replacing human jobs with machines does is devalue human labor and make us more desperate. At some point, enough people will have nothing left to lose.


Yeah, it wasn’t a Saturday morning cartoon. It was on MTV in the evenings.


State laws around low power two wheel vehicles are all over the place, and mostly leftover from the two stroke moped era of the 70s and early 80s. So none of it really makes sense anymore.


IL has a L license for motorcycles under 150cc, no reason not to have a kwH rating for it.


Only if it’s a revolver or a bolt action rifle.
Any detail will do that, really.
