Petrol engines produce 12% CO. Diesel engines simply do not do so, contrary to the claims of the ethically challenged injury lawyer source you provided as your primary reference in your earlier post. Can Diesel produce high CO levels? Yes, but it is hard to force this. The Nazis used diesel to asphyxiate Jews with CO, but they had to meddle with the engines.
Submarines and mines. How does anyone survive there in the presence of diesel combustion engines.

It's basic science that has been known for a very very long time.
What you are claiming is wrong and has never been known to be the truth by anyone qualified to discuss this matter.
Tell you what. I bet you $1 million USD that you are wrong and that a normal diesel engine produces vastly less than 12% CO emissions. We each put our funds with a third party broker, we have an independent party do the testing, and winner takes all. Do you consent? If you would prefer a different wager amount, so state. Funds to be transferred to the third party broker by each of us in advance of testing. You're a well known famous billionaire guy so this will be peanuts with a guaranteed payoff for you if you really believe your claims.
That's total nonsense. Diesel has max 1%, and that itself is rare. Yes you can produce CO if you deliberately mistune the engine to extreme amounts.
Do you know why diesel generators are used in mines?
Do you know why there are so many diesel submarines?
The answer to both is no carbon monoxide. Because CO in exhaust in a submarine or mine is a very big problem.
Your insane lawyer source are insane lawyers. What they say is absolute bullshit. They are ignorant technologically incompetent liars to claim that is the range in any way shape or form for any diesel engine operating in any normal capacity.
Right I own that car and you are right its claimed emissions were a lie.
I now have the fix and it complies with emissions regulations, and gets the same mileage as before. It was stupid of management and engineers to try to defeat emissions tests because clearly they were capable of delivering the car they promised using the engineering skills they had. Being dumb cost them billions of dollars and has nearly destroyed the company, a fine company. Someone just didn't want to do things right at the time and maybe got off on scamming. Current status is that this car has unbelievably low emissions and gets astonishing mileage and also has high performance.
Only problem is service costs a lot and requires specialized technicians. I hear Teslas and Apple products have a similar issue.
> I can smell it
Mine has no smell before or after the fix. I can smell petrol exhaust.
Do you pee at the grocery store these days too? You couldn't pay me anything to use a public restroom anywhere in the US until we have a cure for this virus. I go to the bathroom before I make a store run. And I make store runs very infrequently, they are very concise runs, I avoid everyone, and I go only during extreme off hours, and I wear an N95 face mask that I heat sterilize afterwards. I also extensively sterilize everything I buy, which takes nearly a whole day to do properly. Things I can't directly sanitize go into a queue in the garage and are not used for 20 days.
Going into any public bathroom is an unnecessary risk. These drive in theatre bathrooms should be closed and locked, as should public restrooms in parks. Laws against urinating in public such as in the bushes at a public park should be suspended. Peeing into a cup in one's car should be promoted as a safer alternative to finding a public bathroom. These are all temporary measures but are necessary. Public bathrooms being non-negotiable? Then stay home.
We need to socially normalize peeing into a cup. My dad certainly made it the only option when we did cross country drives. No way were we stopping at the rest stop, that would ruin our record transit time. He wasn't the only dad, these stories are common.
> Petrol cars aren't that bad especially when only idling for the airco. Diesels are disgusting idling.
Petrol cars do not do complete combustion and emit carbon monoxide which is toxic. Diesels don't. Modern diesels, running on mandated low sulfur fuel, can have lower levels of troublesome emissions than petrol cars. Trucks are a different matter though as they generally are not subject to the same emission standards at present.
> I don't think the article actually has any evidence to support there IS a "surge in drive-ins around the country".
Well there probably is. But drive-ins at this point are incredibly rare. When I was a kid, many decades ago, it was already past the golden age of the drive-in and the few remaining holdouts were in the process of folding.
Some tenacious holdouts made it. A few closed theatres reopened.
> Currently, there are about 325 Drive-in Movie Theaters still operating in the United States. There are many more that are permanently closed but still remain standing and could potentially be re-opened at some point in the future. In fact, there have been several drive-in theaters that have been re-opened the past couple of years after sitting dark for 20 and even 30 years.
So 325 maybe wasn't even the nadir as many have reopened and I doubt as many have been built anew. It's not a lot of theatres on the national scale.
The naming is a very good idea since it really is a totally different language and the numbering made it seem like an incremental upgrade. Whether it's too late will remain to be seen. Also, now maybe there is space for an actual Perl 6! :-)
I need a Mac where I can replace the harddrive when it fails after 18 months like Mac drives always do, and also I'd like a bay to put a decent optical drive and not the low quality Apple SuperDrive which they finally gave up on, and add a card so I can have more than 1 USB port which is ridiculous.
And it should cost around $500, not $12,000.
$500 with what I request is certainly available on the PC side of things and I have that and run Linux on it and have transitioned everything I can off Apple because they can't produce the desktop that I need. I've put Mac versions of my products on bug fix only status and when customers ask me when the new version comes out I tell them never and advise them to try Linux.
Agreed. I consider them dangerous, a threat to public safety, they should be banned by the NTSB, and some cars that use them should be under recall to retrofit them with mechanical controls.
Many states are now passing hands free laws that criminalize the use of phones or any other devices that use your hands while driving. The states provide exceptions for car touch screen use, but they shouldn't. They should criminalize the use of all touch screens when driving, not just some.
The federal government also promised college students in 2007 that student loans would be forgiven after 10 years of work in public service professions.
Of the first 29,000 applications filed with the Department of Education to take advantage of this promise, 96 were approved. That's an approval rate of 0.33 percent.
> Currently, your payments are 10% of your income above 150% of the federal poverty level. So if Chad is making about $25,000 per year (corresponding to about $1,700 per month take home), his payments would be just $640 per year, or $50 per month under the current PAY-E scheme.
A $30,000 loan at 5.05% APR with $50/month payments will take infinite years to pay back. Need to be paying $127 a month to keep up with the interest, otherwise you are getting deeper and deeper in debt.
Sure they are to the same extent his employer is since her posse made sure they fired him.
She is a horrific bully who has destroyed an innocent person's career to advance her own personal publicity and branding. She's a bad person. I would never hire her or have anything to do with her or anyone who defends her insane, horrific and unethical actions. I also will have nothing to do with PyCon henceforth.
