Wrongfully Jailed For Rape As A Teen,

How Much Fuel Needed to Idle or Turn OFF / ON

Payback says...

Starting/stopping the new engine in my Mustang takes about 4 hours of fuel. Not four hours idling my car, four hours idling a cruiseship. Four hours idling in my car would require 3 fillups.

God I love this engine...

All I can think is Wood's Metal.
But I'd think he's know that.

Wood's metal, also known as Lipowitz's alloy or by the commercial names Cerrobend, Bendalloy, Pewtalloy and MCP 158, is a eutectic, fusible alloy with a melting point of approximately 70 °C (158 °F). It is a eutectic alloy of 50% bismuth, 26.7% lead, 13.3% tin, and 10% cadmium by weight.

I remember as a child people referred to the prefix 729 as Randolph 9. And 242 as Cherry 2. It turns out that the operator stations were located on Randolph Street and Cherry Street!

God damn I feel SO superior never having used Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and everything else.

How Diverging Diamonds Keep You From Dying

I've played around in cities skylines with this concept. If you take one direction and elevate it, you can eliminate the stop lights altogether. Works well in game, but the never-crash physics stop me from thinking it would work in real life.
