Biden can’t pardon state crimes

The indictment is sealed. Nobody knows what it says, not even Trump his lawyers. Trump and his lawyers might know Tuesday at Trump’s arraignment.

CNN Law Enforcement analyst John Miller reported (based on two sources) to Erin Burnett that the indictment has 34 counts relating to falsification of business documents/records.

“Rules for thee, but not for me.”

So do they just install the kernel?

The bonds (largely mortgage-backed securities) did not decline in value. If they were held to maturity, they would pay full rate.

The issue is that the bonds can’t be sold now for anything like npv, because nearly risk-feee government issued bonds pay 3-4x what these bonds will.

That makes them… discounted

The actual construction of the fab will be far more important than all of this.

Sun’s original “enemy” was Digital Equipment Corporation, not the phone company.

The joke (at Sun) back in the day was that a Vax MIP was constant, like an electron volt.

While most at Sun had a Sun in their desk, some (sales, mostly) had Wyse terminals in 1988-1990.

300 baud? Luxury on an acoustic coupler.

150 baud (as a channel for a terminal running at 110 baud) was far more typical.

PfSense runs on arm64. FreeBSD runs on RPi 4.

What’s stopping you?

Yes, but at what baud?

$50,000/year will no longer buy a lot of beer

Perhaps. But VCs prefer the first.

They aren’t all concave or convex.

What the article describes are either Unimount (hub piloted) or “Budd” (stud piloted) wheels.

There are also Dayton wheels, but these are increasingly rare.

Presumably they got paid a consulting fee

Back in the day, Unix wrote the time of day in the superblock for the root fs before unmounting it and rebooting.

Since you’re from Nevada…

There was a similar incident at the Green Valley Country Club involving a golf club and the overhead lines in the early 1980s

Unless it’s so cold that the pressure is higher than the PRV can … relieve.

Same is true of the PRV at the oil filter. If you’re bypassing that, then you’re forcing unfiltered oil into the engine.

Also, a too high oil pressure can wash out the babbitt on main and rod bearings.

Agree that the article is bad.

Wouldn’t say “no oil” as oil control in modern engines is good but not perfect and the rings (above the oil control ring) need some oil.

This. Exactly.

Cost

Likely the cop/cab version uses a roller timing chain, which is lower friction that the typical stock chain.

You can’t use the engine. It’s not a DQ. —-

Article 23.3d 2018 Sporting Regulations After consultation with the relevant power unit supplier the FIA will attach seals to each of the relevant components within the power unit prior to them being used for the first time at an Event in order to ensure that no significant moving parts can be rebuilt or replaced.

Within two hours of the end of the post-race parc fermé exhaust blanking plates (with one 10mm diameter inspection hole per cylinder) and further seals will be applied to all used power unit components in order to ensure that they cannot be run or dismantled between Events.

Upon request to the FIA these additional seals will be removed after the start of initial scrutineering at the next Event at which the power units are required.

All such power units must remain within the team’s designated garage area when not fitted to a car and may not be started at any time during an Event other than when fitted to a car eligible to participate in the Event.

2018 F1 Sporting Regulations 17/70 19 December 2017 ©2017 Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile e) If any of the FIA seals are damaged or removed from the relevant components within the power unit after they have been used for the first time those parts may not be used again unless they were removed under FIA supervision.

synthetics work wonders

Unlikely to be starved, (unless it’s really cold and then you barely have any oil), but bearings can be washed out by high oil pressure, which is a consideration with cold oil.

Once upon a time, before fuel injection and effective manifold heat, cars were not very drivable when cold.

The gasoline would not vaporize well in the cold carburetor so the “choke” had to be set to enrich the mixture.

When the vaporized fuel interfaces with cold metal in the intake manifold and intake passages in the head(s), the fuel condenses out of suspension, creating a very lean mixture, despite the choke being set. Combine this with dropping revs from leaving a stop in a manual transmission car, and stalls were frequent.

The solution was to allow the engine to “warm up”.

I have an old Toyota fj40 that reminds me of the before times when it’s cold.

The author of the article got many things wrong.

Washing the cylinders is a thing, but the cylinder has just had a combustion event in it that runs at 2600°F or higher. There is very little oil on the cylinder walls during the “power stroke” in a 4-cycle engine. The walls are reoiled on the exhaust, intake and compression strokes.

A study by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) found that the temperature of the combustion chamber walls (the top section of the cylinder wall), specifically, ranges from 265° F under limited throttle to 475° F with the throttle wide open.

https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/93....

The flashpoint for motor oils is 300-475° F, which is why you can maintain a thin film in the cylinder walls.

Excessive idling will foul spark plugs and valve seats.
