  • Great paper actually but my point still stands. It’s not the fuel itself that creates more efficiency, it’s the fuel that is required to help these legacy cars achieve such efficiency.

    Thus, these vehicles realize an improvement from increased octane rating in accordance with their ability to spark advance to take advantage of a fuel with a higher octane rating.

    It’s the engine tuning not the fuel. If you just take higher octane fuel and put it into a legacy engine you’ll have no difference in your efficiency. The ECU must be programmed, if capable.

  • It obviously improves fuel economy and emissions

    That’s actually not correct. Fuel grades have to do with the fuel mixture’s ability to resist premature ignition. High performance engines look for higher octane fuel so that they can compress it further and more tightly control timing. Lower grade fuel will combust under higher compression and cause knocking in engines that require more compression and timing. The ECU will then try to adjust to alleviate the knocking reducing the cars rated performance.

    The only relationship to efficiency and fuel octane is that when you’re not using the octane expected by the engine in question you could reduce your MPG which in turn may lower your fuel efficiency.

  • Pelley did not mention Weiss or Bilton by name in his lengthy written statement about his firing. But he said “new management” had instructed him to “inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story” and told him to report unverified assertions.

    Paramount and CBS can suck it. I’m a Trekkie but it looks like I won’t be watching my favorite Star Trek shows for the foreseeable future.

  • That’s a lot of instruction sets, it can run all apps!

  • Don’t forget the balls!

  • Well that’s fucking depressing

  • My friend has been coming to me with all the UFO “releases” headlines, and I’ve been countering with more scientific objections. Always keeping a level head on the facts.

    He came at me with that site (https://www.whitehouse.gov/aliens), asking, “Any .gov site is legitimately a government website, right?” I had to remind him that yes, while the whitehouse.gov site is an official government website, that site in particular, more than any other government website, is almost entirely driven by the incumbent president himself. And that because Trump desperately needs to distract from the Trump-Epstein Files (TM), he’s gone ahead and made that Aliens page, where it’s presented literally as Aliens living among us, with typical cheesy sci-fi font and green coloring, then revealing, only as you scroll to the very bottom, that they are talking about “illegal” aliens, from Earth, entering the USA.

    Trump is a piece of shit.

  • It depends on what size you currently have. If you have the series 4-44mm, you could go for an 11-42mm, which is smaller and weighs less. But basically all the latest models are technically bigger than their older variants, so you’d have to change your size class. If you’re currently at 44mm, the latest size class for that would be 46mm. If you have a 40mm Watch 4, that’s already as small as it gets really - although the latest models do have a way of feeling better on the wrist.

    The move goals are just that, trying to remind you to keep moving for your daily health awareness. If it feels foreign then you likely don’t need the watch for health reasons. Many folks that get an Apple Watch are trying to take advantage of the health features and make it part of their life; counting steps, burning calories, watching their heart rates (especially if you have a condition), measuring their exercise progress, etc. The move goals are the most basic of functions on the watch and the most common metric users keep an eye on throughout the day.

    I would say either go all in or get a standard watch if you’re simply looking to tell time and/or add some aesthetic.

  • Which model do you have?

  • This is what it looks like if lawmakers are allowed to pass legislation forcing back doors in encryption…but worse because it wouldn’t be just Windows.

  • Very true - so true that it’s obvious to absolutely everyone. The only explanation is that age verification is simply a ruse.

    The government’s reasoning is the same as putting back door into encryption - another impossible and useless attempt. All these “protections” do is help law enforcement and authorities get dumber and dumber as they lose their gumption to be a better gumshoe. Forget OP/INFOSEC, spy tactics, or any classic investigative work - we’ll just eavesdrop on everything and everyone, it’s easier that way. 🙌👍
