It's unpossible, is what it is.

The temp gauge on your car s iintended to be in the middle. If it goes up to not quite red, do you pull over? Or rev the fuck out of the engine until it blows up?

America revs that bitch relentlessly news at nine.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

obviously it can be stable at almost red, which is a sign that it should continue being abused.

To be fair the gauge on my car stays in the same spot all the time, I think it only has 3 positions lol. I need an app connected to the Obd port to actually read the temp.

My oil pressure gauge has two positions - either there's oil or there isn't lol

Something something Schrodinger Oil.

Your oil gauge really shouldn't be moving a whole lot. That's a feature, not a bug. The information you need is too cold, too hot, or just right. Knowing the exact temperature might obfuscate the important data. 99.9999% of the time, your oil temperature is within operating temperatures. You really only need to know when it isn't.

Kind of the same thing for oil pressure, you either have enough, or you don't. There's no need to buy a quart of oil just to throw half of it in the car. That warning comes early, it's "you need to go get oil in the car you're currently driving, make that the next thing you do." Not "you're out of oil pull over."

If you ever see an externally mounted oil reservoir, it will have two lines. One near the top, and one a ways from the bottom for max and minimum fills. If the machine that's connected to has a sensor, it goes off well before that minimum fill line, and that minimum fill line leaves enough oil in the reservoir to lubricate everything it's lubricating multiple times over before it runs dry.

It doesn't move at all, it's a known thing with the car. No need to carsplain, I swap my own engines :d

Three of my family members had babies in the last 12 months. My family thinks I'm being dramatic when I start talking about climate change.

Our society is not known for thoughtfulness.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Will you please explain this?

I feel like I understand each sentence but not why you put them together.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

babies born into bleak future by humans who forgot to consider whether or not it's in the best interest of anyone but themselves

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Also having lots of children is probably the single biggest carbon impact, since youre multiplying your own consuption.

I wont say "dont have any children and let society collapse" but Im also feeling pretty negative about all this tbh.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

People will be having babies regardless. If you want to advocate for them to stop, you aren't going to convince anyone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

You're being unfairly downvoted. Whether or not people agree with your point, or hate your point, doesn't stop it from being true.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Perhaps, but @TheBat is not wrong. Those people aren't thinking too hard about the futures of the children they're choosing to have.

Unless they are, and have somehow concluded that the kids will be fine. 🤷‍♂️ I'd love to know how they arrived at such a conclusion, though, because humanity is looking pretty doomed right now.

So you're creating more CO²? Shame on you!

I think the whole messaging of CS in degree is kinda misleading. What helped me grasp the concept was to understand that it’s not about average temperature rise but that the climate has more „energy“ in general. Storms that were once a decade are now yearly occurrences etc. the climate is changing, it’s not just getting warmer

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's why the whole thing got "rebranded" from global warming to climate change

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

iirc yeah. they noticed winters and tropical storms were getting more extreme too, not just heatwaves. op's way of understanding it really does click.

What is CS in this context?
