what if...?

While not exactly a what if.. More a rant for another topic we have.

You can have your shitty shift lever sticks and I'll keep my DSG. So much better and nicer to drive.

I vote for auto with manual override every time.

The Covid days were educational to many.

Lessons seem so quickly forgotten though

I quite like it when a thread drifts. For instance I dare you to Google how many coal fired power stations are in China. Then Google how many are in the world today. Then Google how many are opened every day. Follow that with Googling the size of the coal market globally. Then Google who digs and sells all that coal.

It gave me an afternoon in a rabbit hole !

Remember folks, evolution doest just jump from one to another, its a slow slide through some iffy options to get to something else. We didn't just walk out the sea. Ev as it is now is not sustainable, but we have to go through it to find the version that is.

Sodium, its sodium ion, but we aren't there yet.

Ah wondered when you might be along…or maybe the world population in 2500 (pop 540million same as 1666) will be content to focus on biodiversity, high quality food production and medical science, and will have moved from advanced capitalist models to anarcho-syndicalist models, will travel by bike and sailboat and be content to chill out in their localities. I’m up for that. Although I will be dead.

next big thing is braking at the crank, shortly followed by ABS.

Looks interesting...

Fine for fixed gear. Not much use otherwise.

This will more than double the chance of the chain snapping - disc braking forces massively exceed drive forces.

Only when your chain snaps in this instance, you're going
straight over the bars
