You have to admit the same thing happens to lawyers and physicists. Physicists are so notorious for it, they even have a meme ('all science reduces to physics'), which I brought up and criticized.
China is in a huge bubble, smart Chinese are desperate to get their capital out. Capital controls never work for long.
The 'ghost cities' in China are all owned by Chinese citizens, who traditionally love to own * real estate. In China a condo that has never been occupied is worth more that a condo that has (strange, but somewhat understandable as rents are nowhere close to mortgage payments). The average person with money in China is sitting on assets that are overvalued by a factor of at least 5. As more and more of them realize this, bitcoin pricing will become more volatile. The 'grey market international cash flow' share of bitcoin ownership (think of it as a flux though) is increasing vs the 'investor/speculator' shares.
There are four kinds of machinest in the world. Those that made thermite: by accident, on purpose, both and not yet. The last kind is the most dangerous.
Aluminum powder by itself isn't _that_ dangerous. It will burn, hot and fast, but isn't a high explosive. Mix it with a good oxidizer though...
Aluminum cuts like butter, I don't understand why they would be making dust rather than chips.
What's the problem? _If_ it's OK for the USA to crack down on 'fake news', it's OK for China.
The NYT will never have credibility again. Too far gone. When they learned that their reporters were acting as propagandists for the whitehouse (submitting stories for prior approval) they could have immediately fired everybody involved and said why, loud and clear. They didn't, it's over, stick a fork in it.
LS6 is a 'smallblock' 454. The price of a crate LS6 or Coyote is pretty high (IIRC in the $20k neighborhood, addressing you 'common-man buyable' question), but as I say, they arrive thumping.
IIRC the original Koenigsegg used a blown chevy rat. I believe they are using a custom, blown, big block aluminum 454 (race motor derived from a rat) now.
The ZR-1 motor was hand built, but they built a lot of them, grey area r.e. mass production.
Chevy has roller rockers standard, they all more or less need to (along with 6 bolt mains) and awesome crankshafts/rod/pistons (LS6 has factory titanium connecting rods), and Chevy has used headers and rollers in stock high performance application since the 60s.
As to cost effectiveness. It's pretty hard to beat the old pushrod 5.0 Ford motor or the old mice. Depending on how many HP you are going for, older motors have much cheaper parts, but lower limits. The old rule of thumb was that if you exceed about 1.3 hp/inch^3 you will have poor reliability and life. Stock motors exceed this by a lot these days and come with warranties (that will be void if the computer logs over revs though).
That will change as warehouses run out of parts. Already not so true for mice.
Roush/Calloway/Hennessy/AMG etc are ridiculously overpriced tuner packages, for people who want to impress their neighbors. You can do the same thing yourself and pay about 1/4 the price difference between stock and the dealer tuner car (unless you fuckup, then it will cost you _much_ more. But realistically, who tunes on brand new cars, still under warranty?). The dealer tuner car will be collectable, while the home tuned car will not.
Lets not forget mopars either. Lots of strong motors everywhere, even the English and Italians are putting 'truck motors' * into their sports cars now. Of course all the English sports car companies are now owned by Ford europe and Fiat owns Chrysler.
* Enzo said: 'I like American cars, I just don't understand why they put truck motors in all of them'. Americans respond: 'We don't understand why you put sewing machine motors in your cars'. Proceed to demonstrate that a Pontiac GTO (judge) is faster than a Ferrari GTO (on an oval). Then proceed to do it again around Monza.
China already has huge tariffs on imports. Up till now they were the only ones fighting the 'trade war', we were happy enough to head off WWIII by making them trading partners.
But the purpose of all the trade has been accomplished. China is completely dependant on foreign markets. Time to make the trade somewhat fair. China won't like it, will call it unfair, having been spoiled rotten by the last 20+ years of one sided trade.
India is different, they haven't made nearly as much of the opportunities versus China. But it's still time for 'force open' their domestic markets.
Don't despair and make China 'your side' because the Ds are powerless. You'll be on to 'depression' soon enough.
Ford switched to overhead CAM V8 'performance' engines in the 96 mustang. But the first ones sucked BALLS, bad. 4.6 two valve per cylinder engines, weaker than the previous 5.0 pushrod motor, especially when you factor in cost of tuner parts, (which are still very cheap for the old 5.0).
GM LS engines are just stronger than the Ford Coyotes (being bigger, the Ford revs higher). They are both awesome by old V8 standards.
IIRC The first street 4 valve OHC American V8 was in the original ZR-1 'vette. Which was late 80s IIRC. Not a mass produced engine, made by Mercury Marine for GM IIRC. Strangely, _Mercury_ Marine has been using GM engines forever.
I once saw an Italian V8 w OHCs and 4 valves at a car show, it was from the 1930s. Of course the metallurgy of the day meant it couldn't have been at all reliable. But when you consider that most cars still had side valves/flat heads at the time, I was impressed.
Lots of other apps have this feature. Apple was just bluffing with a bogus patient. They sued nobody, aren't known for needing a good case to sue over.
I bet that motor mount was not fine after 30 years, but you didn't notice or care.
Your Honda story has a subtext. You bought a six banger Honda, never do that. They make great 4s, but their 6s _suck_ big wet donkey balls.
The motor mount on a Honda 6 is active. When the six shuts down three cylinders it shakes terribly. To make it workable the mount stiffens. This is also why those mounts are so unreasonably fucking expensive.
Bottom line, never buy a Honda/Acura with anything other than a four banger. They suck.
None of the statements in the standard physicists rant are true. Chemistry does not reduce to Physics, but if it did, then Physics would similarly reduce to Math etc.
Semantics. If that is true than Physics describes Chemistry, Chemistry describes Biology etc etc etc. Making Sociology the 'king science'...We know that isn't true.

I really enjoyed shooting old hard drives containing Netmare 2 back in the day.
Theoretical physicists should have their car hoods welded shut, for their own protection.

Onto 'Bargaining', very good progress.
Learn to drive pussyfoot. The pedal on the right is there for a reason.
I'd like to look through the data. For science, yeah, that's the ticket...
On the upside, hopefully the mounts aren't $300+
Sorry, apparent new problem. Honda's six bangers have been bad this way for a solid decade+.

Nice lie. It _doesn't_ lose efficiency, it loses sunlight.
When were curtailment agreements illegal?
The rest of your post is similarly misinformed.
Much recent bottom line performance can be attributed to faster RAM and a faster chipset to support it.
CPUs have been RAM pipe constrained for decades.
Semantics. If that is true than Physics describes Chemistry, Chemistry describes Biology etc etc etc. Making Sociology the 'king science'...We know that isn't true.
They do if your trading partners have been doing the same for decades...like China. When only one side is a 'free market' * it doesn't work.
