Listen teens, I’m 40. I was a niteclub bouncer in a town popular with backpackers and partying, I also did a lot of traveling and partying. I was shameless, its a miracle it didnt fall off.
When you say you fucked my mom, its childish and stupid. When I say I fucked your mom while its not likely its possible… and thats worse.
Volunteers are a double edged sword. At some volume of users and content it either needs to be a huge team of like minded volunteers which increases the likelihood of ye power tripping bastards or someone who is paid to do it and spend the time with rules to follow.
Damn right, I’m only on Lemmy because there isnt a better alternative, not because its great.
The sad fact is that for social media to not suck you need moderation, for moderation not to suck they need to be paid mods, which means it has to make money somehow, which either means adds, subscriptions or mining user data…

Ok the article is really thin on details on how this works.
For the layman who understands the basics of internal combustion engines. Imagine that there is no “intake” in a traditional sense, just a sealed system being fed massive but precise amounts of compressed air from a 3300 psi tank. (Its actually more complex with valves and so on so you dont use the bottle until you’re ready but lets not overcomplicate this)
Its kind of genius because a lot of energy goes into compressing the air into the tank but that isnt energy the car needs to produce in any way which is then stored as potential energy, when you release the air from the tank its around -30c (-20f) which means a denser charge in the cylinder and therefore a bigger bang from lower boost levels.
No mechanical drag on the engine from running a SC and no exhaust restriction from spooling a turbo, Its really clever.
