    Not as safe as I am running VMS Mosaic on OpenVMS!

    and when you experience heatwaves that can give you sunburn even with 30+ lotion on

    Temperature has no impact on rate of sunburn, angle of the sun does. You are more likely to burn during a heat wave because of the angle, but you can still get a bad sunburn during the winter because of the reflected light from the snow. A heat wave will however bring on increased rates of heat related illness, but sunscreen will not have any impact on the severity of the illness.

  3. Re:10% Ethanol on Is E85 Dead Now? · · Score: 1

    Octane is an added to prevent detonation. Higher compression engines require higher octane ratings to prevent said detonation. They claim you get the most out of E85 when it is burned at a much higher compression ration that E10, which is why it is sold with 105 octane. However all cars are "Flex Fuel" which means they have the lower compression ratio to allow for the use of E10, which makes the 105 octane rating pointless, unless you blend. - IE 33% E85 105 octane and 67% E10 87 octane for a net of E35 with 93 octane if you run with performance mods that require higher octane fuels. It's what I'm doing with my truck right now, I get better than premium grade fuel at less than mid-grade cost, even when the reduced fuel economy is factored in. Plus I can say I put "E85" in my tank, so I can use an AFV parking spot :)
