You're comparing a car built, as far as I can tell, for a single lap with no formula (i.e. anything goes) to a LeMans 24 hr car. Also, the full 22.8km Nordschleife record is Niki Lauda's in a 45 year old Formula (i.e. w/ rule

Is he wrong? Also, the Nevera has 4 wheels. Which means that the 2 000 hp it has are, mostly, BS. That much power can't be delivered to the tires. Not unless they have custom, street illegal, tires.

Can't edit my original answer any more, but I just wanted to state that: - I think every proposition (not just sentence) of this comment is wrong. - Tesla, not only didn't break the lap record (they only broke the EV record) which

Indeed not. We've been putting engines mid-bay since at least the 60s. If you want to compare this Tesla or the Taycan fairly, you have to compare it to a mid-engined car. Like the Corvette C8 (The C7 vette's record's better

Let me quote my Math Phys professor: "You're utterly and completely wrong." Let's assume we're talking about acceleration due to change of direction, or braking (since for increasing speed weight is obviously a disa

No. OP is completely wrong and has zero understanding of car dynamics. They put weights in F1 cars to get them to the regulated minimum weight. Car (dry weight I believe) + driver + weight > minimum. There is no advantage to adding dead

I appreciate all the effort put into LO, or any complicated and sophisticated free (as in libre) project. I despise LO. I use gnumeric when I need a spreadsheet. Or grab my Mac. I haven't tried running office in wine in over a decade,

Lol, I asked rhetorically. I know the legality behind it. It's a pickle to to balance all the higher order principles involved.

True, but consider that the vast majority of Android users have no clue how to do that.

Aside for YouTube "tut tut" what has Markson said that disqualifies her? I ask in full faith, as I don't know who she is. But why does YT get to tut tut anyone? The only basic reason for it is that you fundamentally agree wit

That's literally the opposite of the scientific method. A healthy scientific community rejects "scientific consensus" because the scientific method is about testing hypothesis including previous work (see the replication c

Already is. There must be more smartphones and tablet users than personal computer users in the world. Simply because a person who use a PC but doesn't have a smartphone (hyper nerds like Stallman, or ppl who have very particular jobs

This "year of the Linux Desktop" joke is getting a bit tiresome. What is missing exactly? Sure the desktop is a bit ugly. But pretty much everything works out of the box. If MS released a native Office for Linux I could get rid of

Some thoughts. Do with them what you will. 0. The original sin of the car is the car itself, not the ICE. The car has externalities other than the ICE, battery cars don't address than and encourage forgetfulness. Arguably the car shoul
