Robert Rohde, Lead Scientist with Berkeley Earth, said “The record temperature in 2016 appears to come from a strong El Nino imposed on top of a long-term global warming trend that continues unabated.”
what altitude do they work from?Oh, that's right 1000ft. So, your ridiculously heavy solution wouldn't work most of the time a taxi style flying car was operating
That's quite a can of worms you've ripped the lid off. Superficially, yes, you are right.
But the reality is that ~half of electric power is generated from coal, not hydrocarbons. (as an aside In my opinion burning hydrocarbons in powerstations is dopey, oil and natural gas should be reserved for uses where their extraordinary energy density is most useful, basically aeroplanes and the like,)
The consequence of burning coal is that for many many many regions worldwide, an EV actually produces more CO2 than a similar sized diesel or petrol car.
Me, for one. I was supposed to be bringing a yacht back from far away and saw the flight I needed for peanuts so i booked it. Yacht owner changed his mind so i didn't need the flight.
Your description of the mechanical path is correct, but most manufacturers who care still allow the driver to sense some of the torque being applied to the steering axis of the tire. That is to say, if I plot unassisted SW (steering wheel) torque vs latacc, compared with assisted torque vs latacc, the EPAS removes a large, but not all, the torque, even when parking which is where the most assistance is used.
Various companies do intentionally or unintentionally get rid of all the Mz (torque on the tire about the vertical axis) feedback to the driver.
Of the other forces/torques on the tire it is reasonable to say that most manufacturers tend to try and eliminate steering wheel torque as a response. For instance, torque steer, single wheel bumps, braking on unequal mu surfaces, should all ideally be isolated from the SW, although I must admit in the latter case I don't mind a bit of feedback via the SW.
My 3yo laptop is actually a very useful piece of kit, and according to the supplier who has just attempted to replace it with some more modern POS, he needs it back to sell to someone else. I deduce from that it has a market value>>almost nothing.
Can I perhaps guess you haven't worked on a real farm for a full week? Every single manual task is designed to be the limit for a healthy person, for example grain is hefted in 50 kg (112 lb) sacks. How many 50 kg sacks can you shift in a day? great cos that is your job. Those neat little straw bales are about 15 kg (33lb), you need to stack 40 of those so the hydraulic clamp can pick them up. Now there are some reasonably cruisy bits, sitting in a tractor listening to the radio while ploughing or whatever. That is of course the easiest job to automate.
Good see you going the ad hom route rather than recognising that your example was lousy. Of course the models are based on things other than CO2, but they are specifically tasked with demonstrating that CO2 is the bogey, whilst ignoring those white fluffy things that have a direct effect on albedo.
Lighting your hair on fire will hurt you today. Too much salt may (16% probability) increase your blood pressure which may be the thing that helps kill you, and will certainly put more stress on your kidneys etc, which again may be the thing that kills you eventually. Pollution (of various types) damages populations NOW, whereas global warming is actually beneficial for the first couple of degrees for humanity as a whole, according to the IPCC even (AR5) . So your example was a mirror image of the actual situation.
Incidentally, the alarmists as ever seem keen to confuse weather and climate. We are in the peak of an El Nino. They are hot. next year you'll see cooler temperatures, and who knows, we might even see another pause. That would be funny. None of this has to with climate, which I agree, is getting a little hotter on a decade by decade, on average. Nonetheless the CO2 based models are still getting it hopelessly wrong.
clearly somebody has invented a time machine and then faked up a video and posted it, and forgotten to include any mention of Elon Musk or Tesla, the bastards.
and there are no other changes in that time, for instance, another million lazy overfed stupid people moved to Miami and overloaded the drainage system?
The zinger is in the last sentence of the summary "Zabel's team did however note a higher work ethic in studies that contained the response of employees working in industry rather than of students."
Yup, people who design and develop cars and aeroplanes and railway trains and weapons typically don't become PEs, and if they do, typically their employer will ask them not to put it on their business card. The reason is that PE is largely a jobs for the boys trade restriction act these days, although it is fair to say there was an element of usefulness way back when.
Specifically the PE exam requires fairly little intellectual effort, it is open book, and the codes are not impossible to understand even on a first reading. just for fun I did a practice paper on the design of wooden structures, a subject in which my life experience and learning has been limited to building a shed. I studied the code, answered the questions. And passed.
Did they forget to mention this is quite a strong El Nino year? The last El Nino of similar strength was 1999, from memory, which kicked off the pause. El Nino is followed by la Nina, which cools the globe, so next year we won't have these tedious articles about short term spikes in weather masquerading as climate.
Yes, some mugs continued to roll their trucks. But the obvious point you are missing is that most of the failed tires came from Firestone's Juliet plant, not the others. So there was an actual product defect.
Actually I m cutting back to three days a week, for 90k ayear, and mentoring two replacements. One is Chinese, she'll probably work out. The other one seems a bit useless, !ike most wasp engineering graduates these days. Get off that fucking phone.
I'm on a 100Gb plan and even though I am not home that much we seem to get through 50Gb most months. At my off grid house i use wireless internet, at $15 per Gb, so not many downloads, and that comes in at about 10Gb per month, mostly my work. We don't watch TV much.
Oddly enough as a real engineer I've seen my pay increase every year since 1998, except for two years after the gfc. Now, I do have to negotiate that pay rise,and I imagine the shareholders would rather I didn't get it, but if I didn't get an increasing number of beer vouchers each year I'd go and work for someone else.
So pay rises do exist, at least for some mechanical engineers.

They don't think El Nino/ PDO/AMO affects global temperatures? Really?

Sorry about that.
Fujichrome was always very blue in my non expert opinion. Anyway, buy silver!

Just got a new laptop off the company. 3 year lease. W7. Yeah, they'll support us. They do that.

This amazingly lifelike video of a non existent phenomenon from 3 years ago needs to be investigated

Exactly. IT practitioners might like to think they are engineers, but they aren't. Even if Microsoft says they are.

El Nino is followed by la Nina, which cools the globe, so next year we won't have these tedious articles about short term spikes in weather masquerading as climate.
Hey dummies, nobody mentioned El Nino.
Projections for next year range from +.5 to -2.5 year on year, as La Nina kicks in.
We shall see, and it won't make any difference. The world will get hotter or colder. Politicians will tell lies and steal money.
