Ohaa

Me too. I would've probably used Google Play Music to the end of my days but the transition to Youtube Music was so good awful I cancelled and switched to Spotify within a couple of days.

Immerhin haben sie direct zu direkt geändert.

Bees can do whatever the fuck they want, they are not merely there for our desire to get plants pollinated. They just like to do it.

Damn I could've sworn I've studied that for 6 years and am an actual mechanical engineer! To be fair I'm not working in automotive anymore but I have trained as an automotive mechatronic before majoring ME.

I'm also wondering what calculations I'm supposed to doubt here, it's literally a rumoured engine, no specs other than a displacement that could(!) be 8.3L, no emission data, to performance data. I'm just calling out that author's claim that they made it bigger so it has less emissions. It's obvious marketing bullshit he's parroting. They were forced to, among other things, reduce compression due to emission laws and the resulting engine is inevitably less efficient, so they (could!) made it bigger to negate the efficiency losses and still be able to have a new model with more horsepower than the last one, despite having a less efficient ICE, obviously at the cost of fuel economy and all other emissions but nitrogen oxides. Not that it matters to their customers but that's what it is, and only a marketing department could come up and twist this into something positive they have thought of to tackle emissions. And stop it with this engineers' calculations bs, this shit isn't even technical. NOx formation is far more complicated than just being a function of compression, it's affected by how hot a mixture burns, determined by how gradual and geometrically even the combustion takes place and how much volume of the chamber is utilised or whether it concentrated to a specific region. Cylinder head geometry and injector design and actuation play just as big a role as compression (which really is a beneficial side effect to modern injector design that lead to a more efficient combustion.) They could've just reverted all that lean-burn technology (obviously not lean-burn for a Diesel but it's the same philosophy) and sold the car with slightly less NOx emissions, but that's not what this is about. It's about marketing not being happy about an engine with less horsepower, so they let them build it with more displacement and made up a story of how they made it bigger so it could emit less NOx. They know dense people will buy that.

That's probably what they're trying to do. The better their quality management is the closer to consistently packing -1.95% they'll be.

-2% is probably allowed and this is -1.95%. It's okay I guess. I'd probably trust my cheap, regularly used and never calibrated kitchen scale less than I would trust these companies to comply with such rules.

Now if someone can tell me what exactly "Britain" is? People say it all the time, like this is the largest statue of a vulva in Britain. Just shorthand for Great Britain, or is it something else?

Den Kopf nur als Hutablage benutzen

more like an obvious wolf only trying to fake sheep's noises

And 20% of Germans going 'oh no I'm very cross with the government, I'm gonna vote for those, uhm, hehe, """"sheep"""" over there'

It isn't just a question, it's straight up loaded with implications, most blatant one being to specifically stress 'adults' twice, as if it wasn't a question to you if it were children.

People watch people playing sports, telling jokes or funny stories, acting drama, dancing... playing games fits that list so seamlessly that I can't help but wonder wtf is wrong with someone asking why people would do it. It's blatantly obvious loads of people like watching something they find cool and isn't too mentally engaging, to wind down.

That's a perfectly normal number for any home that isn't very new and perfectly insulated.

My 37sqm appartment needs approximately 5000 kWh in natural gas per year, 876 kWh last December, so 28 kWh per day on average. The building is admittedly old and not perfectly insulated but it's also not a log cabin out in the open in Finland, but instead a flat enclosed within 3 other flats in the middle of cosy, never below -8C Germany.

21 kWh in a log cabin in Finnland actually seemed pretty low to me. It's sort of obvious OP is using a heat pump and the cabin must really be absolutely tiny.
