If you can find the link, I'd be really interested. In my mind, odds are some hoser got beered up on Molson and forgot he clicked "Upgrade". :)

Oooh, sounds like Kim P. has some competition in the Heart of Smell.

Kind of a funky, powerful sausage, with the strong taste coming from the meat and not the spice. It's tough to describe, like trying to describe "pork" to a vegetarian.

Or RW.

I haven't read deeply, but I'm pretty sure it won't actually upgrade you, but will prep to a certain degree. It's still pretty slimy, but there's no way MS is going to forcibly upgrade people to 10. The liability for broken installs is not something they're going to take on.

Goo-lah-chuk?

When it all goers wrong, the media will be coming back to that post.

It's not as much fun to drive for 2 hours, sit at the border, and watch your team lose, only to reverse the process afterwards.

:w00t: John Deere PTO with Saskatoon Quakers (Power Take Off) Wait, does that mean Ville Leino is also on a PTO?

Fun read, and that guy's fro is incredible. http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20140518/SPORTS/305170006/Weinstein-Old-Dusters-brawl-still-one-ages

That's the stupidest thing I ever read. It's Power Take-Off, used on a tractor to power external machinery using the tractor's motor.

Regular sardines are good, but brisling are awesome. They're good out of the can or in lieu of dressing on a salad, but this recipe rocks. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/sherried-sardine-toast-recipe.html#!

Not much of a trick, the clue isn't New Jersey pro team.

Would Chz wear a Guy Fawlkes mask and voice scrambler?

With diesel generation, but the 2-stroke diesels used in trains (and ships) bear little resemblance to something you'd want to use in a small, agile, vehicle (ie, any road vehicle, trucks included). For that matter, gas turbines are better yet in terms of power to weight ratio, but using them to directly drive the wheels of road vehicles was an experiment that didn't go too well. It'd be interesting to build an electric car with a gas turbine to generate electricity. I'm not sure if there are hidden issues with the design or auto companies have been too conservative to try it, but I'm surprised we haven't seen more all-electric drive cars where the engine isn't connected to the wheels at all. You can make a gas (or diesel) more efficient if it only needs to run at one RPM, which a generator situation would be perfect for.

I think the story this year is he was playing on the left side in the AHL to learn how to play on that side, isn't it? That would cause some growing pains.

I've always been interested in the interplay between torque and horsepower. Mostly that torque is somewhat arbitrary as you can change the torque to the wheels through gearing, but the power output of an engine is "constant" (given RPM, throttle opening, temperature, etc.). As for big block vs. small block, my dad always liked high-revving small blocks, and the performancey cars I've owned have been turbo fours. Maybe I'm a bit biased there. :) All I know now is that other than a few cases all "performance" cars and bikes are gasoline-powered, I've always thought due to weight. Weight is the enemy of performance in all cases. And sorry about the nonsense comment, that's not cool.

Is that why diesels engines are always significantly heavier than gas engines? Like I said, I'm a diesel fan and they've made strides in the last decade, but you're talking nonsense if you think diesel engines outperform gas engines on much other than economy and torque. They do have benefits, but power per pound and power per displacement aren't on that list. Those two benefits (torque and efficiency) make them great for things like trucks, but they're not always better for lighter vehicles where weight is a factor.

The real problem is the Sabres have only iced one Gord in their history. You're not going to win a cup that way. (bonus points to anyone that can name him, I certainly couldn't even though he played 134 games.

It'd be interesting to know what the rules are for that. Do they have to keep the car stock, or can they remove stuff to reduce weight. take out the interior, radio, etc. and tape up many of the panel gaps and you'd be surprised how much better the car will do. Also, I have to think that the driver was instructed to stay on the highway at a particular speed for an entire tank of fuel at a time. Hopefully they provided a catheter.

I think we're coming at this in different ways. I'm most talking about cars and non-towing situations, as that's what the vast majority of vehicle usage we're discussing. I find it really hard to believe that VW would leave 20MPG on the table for no reason, as they'd sell TDIs like hotcakes. I'm guessing the answer is car-style performance as to why they're using a 2.0L engine. People won't buy a 1.4L diesel in the US because it'd be significantly slower from a standing start than the gas models. As for your numbers, I do believe they're true, but they're anecdotal. Being in Boca Raton, you're getting a lot of benefit from being at sea level and essentially no elevation change for the first 300 miles of any trip you take. I'd love to see a real, instrumented test, both with cars, trucks, and towing involved.
