engine is attached directly to the wheels, without any intervening bits, like axles or crankshaft.
How can the engine be attached via the crankshaft when the crankshaft is part of the engine? Do you even have a clue what you're talking about?
And the up-down motion of pistons firing just magically makes them turn in a circle.
I'll tell you what doesn't do that - the camshaft, which was the original claim. No wait, the claim was that it converts rotation into propulsion, which is utter fucking rubbish.
People who can't read are extremely rare in most developed countries, so they're irrelevant to the matter at hand. You might have a point if we were talking about the middle ages, but we aren't.
The study says even less than that. It's more like some horseless carriages were slower than some horses, on an odd-numbered Wednesday if there's an R in the month and the wind's blowing from the east.

Such as? Discounting blatant cheating, like seeing the questions in advance and memorizing the answers.
No "your mom" jokes? This place isn't what it used to be.
A wall wouldn't be much use. Maybe a Dyson Sphere?
You're going to set the gold nutters off, you do realise that?

It's the same as "we're all living in a sim", isn't it?
Nah. You just have to start the June run at the end of March. Lateral thinking, see?
Just put everything in one massive struct of doom, then you only have to pass a single pointer everywhere.
I thought the wheels did that.
Yeah, but they were all like "... via the electric telegraph".

What, for ever? Does that mean there are people who start out being literally cretins who practice for ten years and score over 200?
It couldn't possibly be that there is some penalty from being unfamiliar & inexperienced and it gets eroded with practice, could it?
In Soviet Russia, shark jumps you!
The rabbit went into a donkey? I won't ask which end.
Not near Arizona. Or did the San Andreas do the big one while I was out?
They'll do it at night. Do I have to do all the thinking round here?
Who? If it was meant to be that they'd have called it WQ, wouldn't they?
That would mean women are smarter than men, and we all know that's not true.
Wild guess: 86.
Are you saying that the desert is an ocean with its life underground and a perfect disguise above?
I thought it was the other way round.
Because if guns didn't exist they'd have to use crossbows to deal with crossbow-armed robbers?
A bit like dealing with Wipro, then?
A lot less than Bitcoin's.
Wonder if this is an escape hideout for when the shit hits the fan?
