Oh man, could you imagine if THAT was how Trump ran for another term?

Democrats: Surely our fellow americans wouldn't repeat-repeat-repeat vote for him! We can compromise to pass the "We Can Keep The Best Presidents As Long As We Want And It Is Temporarily Legal To Drink Water Without Asking Nestle" bill!

I have the opposite reaction when I see these memes. To me it's a reminder of how inclusive some of my favorite nerdy communities are, on top of being a fun little in-joke like any meme should be. And I'm an old beardy middle aged dad too for whatever that's worth.

However, that doesn't mean the image itself is innocent or appropriate for most audiences. I'm not going to be asking the family's opinion on this one, lol. But I don't see it as a manga fetish thing at all. More empowerment than exploitation for the owners of the legs shown.

Auto correct.

They meant to say suck a fuck, not fuck a duck.

That would be crazy, as if we in the US were more loyal to the current president than the constitu-- ohhhh.

Totally, and I think that's why they thought it was worth a press release. In the article they go right to how they're setting a new power density record with this design.

Electric motors are just really power dense. The article says they managed a short term peak of 1,000 hp with that little flat 12.7kg motor and the continuous output could still be half that.

Just the cooling must be crazy.

Out of curiosity I looked up something comparable. It looks like high-performance integrated drive units that have other stuff like the single-speed gearbox, differential, and inverter are still only in the dozens of kg.

The voltage/hp comparison there doesn't really fit.

Power is in watts or horsepower. You multiply the torque with the RPM and a scaling factor to get power.

A higher voltage system could probably be expected to produce more torque and power from the same size motor, but a lot depends on the design of the motor.

Then to answer "how much torque though," I haven't looked into it but electric motors have a very nice torque curve across the RPM range. If a motor made all that power with low torque, then it must spin at super high RPM and need to be geared down.

Unfortunately, the rinse crew has been dissolved as a cost cutting measure.

That's an awesome note. I often think the same thing and I wish I could spread that freeing realization to everybody I meet.

Please describe to us what is important so that we may stand back in respectful awe and learn!

I'm a couple years older and didn't even get to start trying medications until my 40s.

And sure enough, gifted student and high scores on standardized tests and IQ and stuff, right here. Looking back it can be pretty frustrating to see how much of my childhood was shaped by it, but it's harder to blame the adults in my life the further back I go.

What really frustrates me is that I went to a psych practice as an adult looking for some kind of help with my extremely stressful issues that I noticed exactly matched every description of ADHD I could find. There were questionnaires and a small battery of neuropsych type questions to evaluate things like short term memory and processing speed. I did well. It did not lead to a diagnosis.

So yeah, when I am sitting in a room 1:1 with somebody and I am in performance anxiety hyperfocus mode, I can do good on some fucking word problems. And that meant I DON'T have ADHD? Thanks, fuckers.

Thanks for posting this, because I started getting bummed thinking about how much of a great resource the full reddit history would be to just have online, were that whole thing not ruined gut bad reasons by bad people.

But then you reminded me about the good people.

I found the helpers, Mr Rogers!
