When you open the case, the nitrogen gas which was included to help avoid decomposition escapes, hence the half refund.

maybe you were pressing both

From what I understand, the computer will (and should) reject the acceleration attempt in favor of the brake.

But, if you own a reasonably modern vehicle, try it :)

That's not how it works. The brakes are more powerful than the engine, sure, but only at full braking power. Ask anyone who owns a rear-wheel-drive sports car what happens when you push both pedals at the same time and they will literally leave you in a cloud of smoke.

The RWD thing is definitely important here. Given that the majority of cars and a significant number of SUVs are now FWD, this doesn't hold water. Given it is the front brakes that are more powerful than the rears, and if your brakes are maybe a tad worn out, you might not be able to take your brakes from a dynamic friction situation to a static friction situation. In the mean time, your engine would just continue injecting heat into the brakes, which could easily overcome them. It might also be that he was not braking with the full force initially, meaning some degree of heat saturation may have already been present.

If this were true people wouldn't be able to do burnouts in auto transmissions cars?

It's actually fairly common, try searching for "brake override".

I could rev my engine while pressing the brake on a 2014 Honda Civic (helped with not going backwards when I needed to start moving from a standstill on a steep hill). Is that modern enough for you?

(On the other hand my 2017 Subaru Forester does not do the same; thankfully it has less of a tendency to roll backwards when releasing the brake on a steep hill.)

Probably not, this might to push blockstack's possible ico.

Do you normally just install whatever you find on the internet, or are modern os secure enough?

It's no big deal if you sling around vms.

Anyone interested in the 996 workweek? Supposedly, it builds great discipline.

I personally am not, but only because I have a secondary thing I have to devote a lot of time to.

So does prison, but I wouldn't recommend that either.

A whole day off? Thats slacking.

If such a pill was ever created, I surmise that the coffee industry would collapse overnight.

You can get 120 pills of 100mg of caffeine for $6 including shipping "Jet-Alert 100 MG Each Caffeine Tab 120 Count". There are fancier ones that include L-Theanine (found in green tea) to mellow the caffeine jitters out but those are significantly more expensive.

You used to be able to buy a half kilo brick of caffeine on prime for like $30.

That's enough caffeine to give you a heart attack 100 times over, it would last you forever.

It didn't affect the coffee industry because drinking coffee is an enjoyable process, not a one dimensional addiction around caffeine

> it would last you forever

Can confirm. Bought two in 2013, still have ~450 grams in the first bag I opened. Well worth the ~$50 (including a jeweler's scale) for a lifetime supply of preworkout supplements.

The FDA banned bulk caffeine sales in 2015[1] or 2018[2] too. This is probably a good idea, most folks have no idea how much caffeine is in a cup of coffee, much less how to measure that dose in powdered form.

Don't understand how people come to the conclusion that the earth is circular.

I doubt shipping phones with easily identifiable pirated Qualcomm IP to western countries is going to work well.

As I understand, Huawei doesn't use Qualcomm IP anyway. They have their own LTE modem.

My take is that financial crises only happen on years that contain 8, 9, 0, but you should be more careful if the year ends in those numbers.

Looks like 2020 is going to be an unfortunant year.
