The transmission of a traditional ICE vehicle is a component commonly prone to failure due to reliance on clutches, friction couplings, gear engagements, etc.
Hybrids replace this transmission with one composed of two electric motors and planetary gear sets. One or both of the motors also act as generators. It’s complex, but the highly variable speed of the output shaft is managed almost purely by torque splitting of the planetary gear sets along with routing of electrical energy within the system— no clutches or gear disengaging/reengaging.
And the ICE engine itself has an easier time (often Atkinson cycle) because the electric motors can provide much of the responsiveness to immediate power demands, allowing the ICE to operate in a much less stressful power band.
* hastened the inevitable transition away from manual gearboxes in cars
* gave a bit of a “last hurrah” to ICE powertrains in general
Quick-shifting, gobs of gears, lockup torque converters, and reliable to boot. I don’t hear the word “slushbox” being thrown around like it was previously to describe automatic transmissions. And I credit it mostly to ZF.
Both were spectacular. Neither smelled at all.
I think the smell may only last for a short period, likely before the bloom peaks. We didn’t want to jump the gun on the bloom, so we visited a day after we heard it bloomed.
I can totally understand how Ivermectin got its following— it’s an amazing general purpose medicine around the farm. I generally use it responsibly by verifying the presence of parasites before administering (which can be literally any animal on the farm with almost any parasite) … but then there are times such as when my daughter had a single pet chicken (among many healthy ones) that wasn’t looking so hot … Whereas previously I’d just dispatch the animal and be done with it, now I give a dose of Ivermectin and isolate for a few days before calling in the grim reaper. So far the success rate is something like 90% where now my 9 year old daughter administers it herself. While I acknowledge this isn’t the most responsible, I can imagine others have had similar experiences which explain some of the popularity of Ivermectin with rural folk.
“The TNT shipped later than originally planned, ran quite hot, and was clocked lower than Nvidia had planned at 90 MHz instead of 110 MHz. Originally planned specifications should have placed the card ahead of Voodoo2 in theoretical performance for Direct3D applications, but at 90 MHz it did not quite match the Voodoo2”
I’ve been a bitter man ever since…
Which would be great if any other state had the weather and beauty of California. And California is fucking huge to boot. Not initially splitting it up into multiple states was one of the biggest mistakes in this nation’s history.

The people answering your survey probably weren't aware they could power an entire jobsite with just a truck. Killer features such as this will be how electric vehicles penetrate the holdouts.
I’d also expect some long reach excavators and/or draglines to be working from the shore and/or barges.
They probably just underestimated the stuckedness at first. Throw in some ineptitude and corruption, and you have this royal mess.
The incident sounded suspicious from the start, but the wording “could not control the fire in SBG2” sounds very ominous ... Chernobyl-y even.
And seeing the compactness of the entire facility (https://baxtel.com/data-center/ovh-strasbourg-campus/photos), it seems an uncontrolled fire could take out all three buildings in short order. I’m very interested in seeing the damage and postmortem from this one.
Also interesting they tout all sorts of sophistication (https://www.ovh.com/world/us/about-us/datacenters.xml), but no mention of fire suppression
I'm very new to the understanding that the word "merit" is now politicized, and I find it very unfortunate.
For the sake of humanity, I would hope that at least the _definition_ of "merit" could be commonly accepted..
The problem is that tires are often not rotatable due to staggered setups where the front and back tires are different sizes (very common) or due to directionality of tires (less common).
I personally am tired of working at a firm where everyone has a voice that they’re always using.
So, like nil then? I still can’t find anything beyond dramatized anecdotes to suggest any special danger beyond what is commensurate with the symptoms.
... starting with this article which gives credence to these Asp and Greenhalgh fellows, who have deemed the current situation with batteries as a "structural parasite" while at the same time proposing to incorporate them into the skin of the vehicle, which moves mass way upwards and way outwards-- both of the no-nos in regards to stability. The negative effects from just the shifting of mass will likely outweigh any of the gains using their method, which so far seem to be a bit nebulous. And that's ignoring many of the obvious safety, reparability, and complexity concerns...
He was fixing cracks, which is effectively waterproofing, and it did work, locally, as he mentioned the water was "rerouted".
It works like this:
- Injection ports are adhered and spaced along the crack.
- Epoxy is smeared along the crack from the inside, providing a temporary seal for the next step.
- Epoxy or polyurethane is injected into the ports, starting from the bottom and progressing upwards as material seeps out of the ports above
This works, but this guy just didn't take it far enough, probably for good reason.
