Big badda boom Its definitely single phase, the order of the positives doesnt matter. In the three phase, the order matters. Ive never seen any two phase wiring in my life.

Airplanes are parked in hangars. Hangers are used for clothes or cheap abortions.

You don't need to use your brake to slow your car down. Sometimes just not pressing the accelerator is enough to match the speed of the car in front of you.

It's not the "emergency brake" or "e-brake" it's the parking brake or hand brake. It's intended for parking the vehicle only. If you're in an emergency situation in your car and you need to apply the brakes, using the handbrake will lock up your rear wheels and that's just about the worst thing you can do.

something some people misunderstand is they think all shrimp are harvested by slaves in boats off of thailand. in fact, "shrimp aquaculture," otherwise known as "raising millions of sea bugs in huge artificial ponds," is a rapidly growing piece of the puzzle

Only around 9% of plastic is recycled, and on top of that plastic can only be recycled a handful of times due to the breakdown of the chain polymers. There are some gigantic garbage gyres in the ocean mainly consisting of plastic that just move around due to ocean currents and are literally destroying the ocean and all bio life in it

The emergency would be blowing the hydraulic lines, you could lightly apply it without locking up the wheels. Probably wouldn't work with the new electronic parking brakes.

And the wrong way to run an electric kettle (in NA) is to plug one cord in the west kitchen circuit and a second in the east kitchen circuit and wirenut them to the cord on the kettle, be sure to put tape on the neutrals for safety.

The kind that have a button or pullout handle (or in the old days foot pedal) are parking brakes. The kind that are in your center console and have a button are to hold your manual transmission car from sliding backwards down a steep hill while you try to start it and get it in gear. And also for easy drifting. And sometimes for parking.

I’m not certain about new cars with electronic parking brakes, but ye olden mechanical parking brakes with a foot pedal or hand lever can most certainly be used in an emergency when and/or if your hydraulic brakes fail. The trick is to gradually engage it if you have no other means to stop your car and not slam it down at once like you’re 2Fast2Furious drifting. It’s not gonna be as good or responsive as your standard brakes, but it’s better than nothing.

E.T. doesn’t dramatically point his gnarly hosed up finger upwards and say “E.T. phone home”. He says “E.T. home phone” and almost everyone has gotten this wrong for 40+ years and I’ve always hated it even though I know it will never matter and I don’t even like the movie

Its's called the emergency break because it stops your car from the emergency situation of rolling off the hill, not bc it's to be used in all emergencies. So it's...its the parking brake. yeh I just googled that poo poo they're the same thing it's just manufacturers preference for what to call it StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 15:24 on May 23, 2024 |

I have used the emergency brake in an actual emergency twice. 1988 Grand Caravan blew front brake lines, first the drivers side and then a month or two later, the passenger. Both times, I was able to limp it home using the e-brake, which was fun given that on that car the brake was a ratcheting foot pedal with the release immediately above it in the form of a lever. I drove with one foot on the brake, left hand on the lever to keep the ratchet disengaged, right foot for gas, right hand on the wheel. Do not recommend.

If your old car has a big 12" handle near the center console with a button on the end it is because it is also useful for dropping panties. But also don't do it because you will snap the cables slide sideways flip into a ditch and get decapitated. If you want to learn to drift though, push that bitch (the car, not your hand brake) until you can feel the magical moment she loses traction and then figure it the gently caress out homie.

E=mc² denominates a special case for stationary objects, the general (abbreviated) formula includes the kinetic coefficient Gamma which, in the case of stationary objects, is 1 and therefor commonly left out.
