The drivetrain typically loses about 20-25%,(higher for automatics, lower for manuals. I'm assuming your 1987 4 speed was a manual) so that car was probably only putting 48 HP at most to the wheels when it was new. At 250k, you're probably only getting 45 HP from the engine, so subtract 20% from that, and you're looking at maybe 35 or so HP at the wheels.
What surprises me is that it was geared so low that probably 90MPH was 6000 RPM. (Or would it have been a 6500 RPM redline, seeing that it is a Honda?) That means at 45 MPH it's doing 3000 RPM in top gear. My '81 Malibu V8 was a 3 speed auto, and it ran around 1750 at 60 MPH. My 84 Camaro V6 was originally a 4 speed auto, which I converted it to a 5 speed manual, and it was around 1750 at 60MPH with the auto, and 1875 with the manual. Every other car I've ever driven is the same. My current 2003 Impala is even lower, at around 1650 at 60 MPH. Even at 107 MPH, it's electronically limited top speed, it's still less than 3000 RPM.
This is so completely and totally wrong I don't even know where to begin.
Power (which includes both torque and horsepower) + gearing = max speed. Horsepower + width of power band (which generally widens with increased torque) = acceleration.
Probably because the weight of the tank/compressor is more than the weight of the battery/starter that it's replacing. Keep in mind, you'd still need a starter in case you had no air, and no outlet to plug in to. Even if you had an outlet, but no air, you'd need to plug in for quite a while before you'd be able to start it, because you'd need to build up pressure before you could start the car. Imagine a car where you couldn't drive anywhere immediately, but had to wait for 20 minutes just to start the car. We might as well go back to boiling water in a steam powered car. This isn't progress that could sell to anybody but the staunchest environmentalist.
You'd also still need a small battery, at least, because the electrical system won't work without it.
I'm not a US resident or citizen, but from what I understand, only electronic devices with radio transmitters or receivers are FCC controlled. Digital cameras, computers without WiFi, electronic children's toys, and dozens of other devices require no such approval. Food products require state level health agency approval? Really? So farmer's markets are illegal in the US? Medical devices? Well..I really know nothing about that area, so I'm going to leave that alone. Besides, it's one thing I think some kind of government oversight is really a good idea, anyway. Sure, there are useful things that aren't approved as soon as they could be, or at all, but consider the bunch of shysters you've/we've got running the corporate world right now, and how many quick money-making frauds they would perpetrate on a population with little to no knowledge about the medical field. Some of them would have no effects, but some would be downright dangerous. Motorized vehicles are perfectly legal to build and sell without any safety approvals. Dune buggies, dirt bikes, virtually any offroad vehicle, etc. The only thing you need safety approval for is to license and drive a car on a public road. Again, like medical device shenanigans, someone else's stupidity could kill you if this were not the case. Maybe you think this is a good idea, and you're perfectly entitled to that opinion. I happen to disagree with you.
Just because this is the environment we currently live in, doesn't mean he can't do something - either intentionally or accidentally = that points out how ludicrous it is. If it happens that this points out to people that the current environment is downright stupid, then all the better.
Because that does nothing to get the slow morons off our streets,
The "speeding" part isn't the problem. It's the "moron" part that needs fixing, and you can't do that with a nice by-the-numbers "offence" like speeding. Politicians who go on about speeding when talking about improving road safety are paying lip service to it, and idiots like you fall for it all the time. The problem is, they, and by extension, you, either don't actually understanding road safety, or having no intention of actually fixing it.
My next door neighbour's a Catholic. We've talked religion before, and he's never mentioned anything like this. I'll ask him next time I talk to him, and see what he says.
Clever? Really? When I was a kid, I had an alarm clock in the shape of a baseball. To turn the alarm off, you'd chuck the ball against a wall. The impact silenced the alarm.
Keep in mind, this was about 30 years ago.
I've never heard of a single Christian who has that view. Not that they don't exist, but they've got to be somewhat rare. Analyzing the actual claim, though, reveals an apparent logical inconsistency: The only reason Jesus was able to be resurrected is because he was purely God, and sinless. Had he been half human prior to death, he would have been neither sinless, nor purely God, therefore the resurrection could not have happened.
I have a question for you:
You say you don't believe in God, but then you talk about what is moral and just. What is the source of your morality if not god, and what makes your morality any better than someone else's if there is no absolute "godly morality" to compare to? This seems inconsistent to me....
In that case, every torrent user is a fence, and there are no buyers.
That's obviously not a sustainable market, black or otherwise, so it falls apart just on pure logic. How can you be fencing stolen property when there are no buyers?
You can't test route planning on a written test. Even if they attempt to, it can't test doing it on the fly, which is what most people have problems with. In Ontario, the written test is things like what road signs mean, who has the right of way in certain situations, etc.
Now about your Highway 385: Do they tell you to change lanes before you get to the construction and HAVE to do it? Do they even take you through a construction section? I think they should leave you in a lane that's closed until you figure it out and change lanes by yourself. I'd be willing to bet a significant amount of money that this virtually NEVER happens. If you realize soon enough and change lanes safely, bonus points. If not, and you either have to stop, do a dangerous lane change, or something else unsafe, you fail.
And I didn't mean not using a turn signal as something illegal. I mean something like the examiner asking you to turn the wrong way down a one way street, or park in a no parking/handicap spot, or the like. If you do, instant fail. If you don't, and tell them you can't do that because it's illegal, then you get bonus points.
What I'm getting at is that the examiner tells you literally EVERY MOVE you make, so you don't have to ACTUALLY THINK. Most drivers seem to have problems with the thinking part, but it's not tested for in any driver's test I've ever heard of. Not saying they don't exist, but they're certainly rare, at least in North America.
TLS, DHE, and other key exchanges like them are designed for secure communication between two hosts, usually your computer and a server somewhere. WiFi encryption is specifically designed to allow communication between an access point and all LAN hosts connected to it, not only for all hosts to communicate with the access point, but for all hosts to communicate with each other.
There's no reason why you couldn't configure a unique key for each host, but the encryption overhead (and therefore processing power required) at the AP would increase with more hosts connected, and you'd also have significant key management issues, as you'd have to create a new key for each new coffee shop patron, for example, and expire it when the patron leaves. There's a feature called AP isolation on some routers that prevents WLAN hosts from seeing each other over the network, but this wouldn't stop sniffing. All it does it prevent rebroadcasting of network traffic by the AP when it's destined for somewhere else on the local network.
Your preferred party IS NOT the shining angel ready to save the country from the UNENDING EVIL of the other party.
Both parties suck. They're both full of unscrupulous douchebags who'll screw you for another constitutional exception. They'll both enact policies bought and paid for by corporate donors, regardless of how bad they are for the country as a whole.
The sooner you partisan cheerleader IDIOTS start figuring this out, the sooner you can actually start to get the US climbing back out of the cesspool of shit you've been digging yourself into for the last few decades.
The two parties are turning the citizenry against each other by partisan bullshit propaganda, and most of you are too stupid or oblivious - maybe both - to realize you're being played by the very candidate you're cheerleading for.
Ooooh..wow! Forcing you to drive on a highway to get a licence!
I bet they still told you where to turn, where to do lane changes, and a bunch of other "do this now" instructions.
How about route planning, construction and other road closure avoidance and the planning on the fly that this requires? In Ontario, they specifically tell you they won't ask you to do anything dangerous or illegal. I assume this will be the same with TN. Why the hell not? Instant fail if you do it.
North American driving exams are pathetic. All of them.
The Ontario driver's test is pathetic. You're saying California's is even worse, and my sibling post by Zinho thinks Cali has one of the better one's in the States.
Wow.
No wonder all these clueless idiots think speed kills....
I don't get the whole "blowouts make cars crash" thing. I once had a tire with a weird internal bulge that caused the tread rubber to be very thin at one spot on the tire. I was intending on wearing it (and it's mate on the same axle) as low as I could during the summer, and getting a new pair when winter came along. This was before I knew about the internal bulge, though.
Eventually, on a high-speed (150+ km/h, nearly 100 MPH) trip, it wore through the tread and went flat VERY quickly. Not exactly a "BOOM" blowout, but it couldn't have taken more than 10 seconds to go from fully inflated to completely flat. When I stopped and looked at it, there was a hole about 3/8" (1 cm) diameter in the thin spot, so you can imagine how quickly it went flat.
Thing is, it didn't affect the handling of the car to any great extent at all. A little bit of drag to that one side, but certainly easily manageable, and much less than I expected from something like that.
All those improvements in the safety equipment of cars are more than negated by the increases in the idiocy of the average driver.
The real problem we have is that obtaining a driver's licence in North America is little more than a test of whether you can follow simple 3 word instructions. I know 3 year olds that can do that.
You only need lightning if you don't have any plutonium. And if you don't have any plutonium, you only need lightning once, so you can go forward to when the Mr. Fusion company has invented their organic fuel personal reactor line of products.

Reasonable speeds are only required because reasonable attention isn't.

That's not Christians. That's people claiming to be Christians while stabbing you in the back with some personal political agenda.

Those two stats leave very little room for accidents on high speed freeways where speed is the sole factor in the accident.
That's because speed CANNOT be the sole factor in a car accident. It's at worst a catalyst for an accident caused by someone doing something stupid.
