Electric motors have high torque at low RPM

For anyone scrolling by and curious about this, this is caused by the combination of physical and electrical resistance. In a typical engine, RPM and torque go up together because it requires more force to get to those higher RPMs (IIRC this is called positive correlation). In a circuit, you have to kind of convince the electricity that it would be better off somewhere else (by connecting to a ground, this is due to electrical resistance), so you have to give it a heavy upfront load to get it going which causes a lot of torque due to the physical resistance

I'm stealing that quote, that's fuckin fantastic. If you came up with that, kudos

mfker I didn't set a time, hopefully the other guy reminds me at a better time

BROLIGARCHY

Brother that is the funniest fucking portmanteau I've seen in ages. Thank you for this lmao

Amazing. You've yet to actually make a point in this conversation, only disparage mine without any counterargument lol

You'll probably have an easier time you research some writers who come from more Matriarchical societies. Typically, these are gonna be places with very old cultures. Native populations (almost any country tbh) and Islanders tend to be good bets for that

Ooh, Warm Bodies is great on this list to my memory. She quite literally warms his heart with her love

Fully providing every single need to their people in an attempt to create the most efficient worker possible? It just so happens that their "work" is assimilating people into the hive, but... The methods surrounding their work are pretty nice.

Yeah, if the Borg weren't so violent towards non Borg they would be the actual end goal of a lot of nerds. You're telling me we could be socialist cyborgs in space?

I would be lining up to become part of the Borg tbf. It's basically giga-socialism

Hmm, now that you say that I'm either fabricating a memory or we have two parts of a whole. I seem to remember no lawn mower leading to doghouse somehow?

I'll have to look it up when I'm off work if I remember

Fair enough lol

My version goes something along the lines of no lawn mower > no lawn mowing > no wife to tell him to mow lawn > gay

Finances are taught poorly everywhere tbf. I was lucky with my precalculus teacher being a huge finance nerd, she spent at least 3 separate full class sessions going over credit cards and loans completely unrelated to our content at the time

Ooh I like that USPol thing. Would love to see that become common practice so people can filter better

Yeah, I didn't have a phone until a few years after my peers because my mother knew damn well I'd go cause problems for the whole family if I was on the internet. Too social lol

Wednesday afternoon is my Monday morning 😭

I dunno if this is the reference I think it is, but if it is, isn't it supposed to be a lawn mower not a dog house?

I don't think anybody can dethrone Google Maps

I wonder how the whole "AI is more important than copyright" thing could play into this... Someone could totally program an "AI" map assistant right?

Yo, startpage looks sick. I'll have to poke around and see if I can find more info on that it looks super useful. My quick test just now was "cloture 2025" which returned 4 news articles followed by basically nothing but .gov links, whereas Google returns way more "news"

Yeah I think I'm headed in this direction. I've also been thinking about one of them self-hostable search engines a lot
