I think there is a other layer to this. The image in question (I think) is showing how a birdoid body in flight avoids adverse yaw when banking for turns. That is done by managing the tip vortices in such a way to create a proverse yaw force. Quite literally, by befriending the spirals.

Thanks for the context.

Hub motors are pretty rare in the EV (car) space actually.

Lordstown Endurance had a hub motors on each wheel. Almost all of those were bought back and scrapped. Aptera had hub motors in the initial design specs, but last I heard, that fell through and they are doing inboard motors with a continuous 2 speed transmission and driveshafts.

Teslas has various multi-motor layouts, but none of them are hubs as far as I can remember.

Mach E has 1 motor standard, 2 and motors on the GT.

There are some fundemental problem with making an EV look like a “normal car” though.

EVs are more dense than their ICE counterparts. This means that the whole vehicle needs more structure to protect it in a rollover than an ICE of the same size. Thicker frames and pillars in a smaller car end up making it look bulgy and weird.

I think (but not 100% sure) that EVs are required to have extra protection for the battery to prevent them from getting punctured and having a “thermal runaway” event. This makes the cars even more pudgy.

The energy source and propulsion methods have changed, which will affect their design of the cars. Much in the same way early jet airplanes looked like regular airplanes with jets attached, EVs started as regular cars with electric motors. We’re currently in the weird transition phase of EV design. We’re seeing the EV equivalent of the P80 Shooting star, and maybe starting to get into some cars that are akin to the F86 Sabre. We have a long way to go until the design catches up to the propulsion.

Fuck that noise.

You want a fight? You better be blasting Duel of the Fates, otherwise I don’t want any.

1-9 by 9 is easy though.

Take the first number, subtract 1 from it, and that will be your 10’s place. Your 1’s place with be whatever that first number needs added to it to get to nine.

Example… 7x9. 7-1= 6, so 60. 9-6=3. Answer is 63.

Another fun math trick while we’re at it. If you want to know if a number is divisible by 3, just add up all the digits, and if that number is divisible by 3, then so is your original number. 3135…3+1+3+5=12, so 3135 is divisible by 3.

TBH, I don’t know. If my highschool history was correct, along with my memory, it is unlawful to prevent a supreme court justice from carrying out their duties. Cops can’t even give them speeding tickets if they are heading to a sessions IIRC.

The idea behind the SC being lifetime appointments was to insulate it from political pressure, unlike the president and Congress which are suceptible to removal. The SC is (supposed to be) a rather apolitical body that determines if the laws passed are unconstitutional, in order to preserve basic rights.

Right now, it’s rife with partisan hacks, and it need to be removed and rebuilt from the ground up. Absolutely none of the current Republican justices meet the qualifications nor strength of character to be SC jucsticies.

Supreme court justices are appointed for life.

It’s also mandated that your employer provide insurance coverage for you, or they get fined. And those fines are pretty serious.

Is there some stupid law that forces you to have insurance?

Yes actually.

On Friday. He always fucks with shit on Friday so the stock market can churn over the weekend, and then he walks it back on Monday and cashes out.

He’s already laying the groundwork for a military op in Cuba. Probably going to happen in the next month.

You can wear the flag any way you want, assuming you aren’t in the military and in uniform.

Rivera resigned immediately following his arrest.

Doesn’t really sound like a Republican to me.

I think we need a law that says any stock trades that an elected member of the government (or their staff) directs or advises on must be publicly annouced 30 days before the trade, and the trade must be completed.

The fuck it does. Maybe compared to my old Windows 7 install on a spinning rust platter, but Windows 11 is a slog compared to Mint in my experience. I can reboot my desktop and reload my apps so fast on Linux that Discord won’t notice that my connection dropped.

Gotta love it when you get out your laptop for a meeting and the bag is hot on the inside…

Currently, Trump is openly calling for Republicans lead states to explicitly gerrymander their congressional districts, and it’s being allowed by both Congress and the Supreme Court. At the same time, Virginia had a popularly passed set of congressional district maps struck down by the very same court.

Quite literally, every branch of government is putting their thumb on the scale for trump. Every branch of the government is corrupt beyond repair, and needs to be removed and restructred in such a way that this can never happen again.

Way worse than lead. We can mitigate lead. There will never be another human born on this planet without microplastics in their blood.
