  • The same way it works in any vehicle with a motor and a transmission. The motor connects to the input shaft of the transmission, runs through some gears, and the output shaft spins at a different speed from the input shaft.

  • Giants trucks and SUVs are getting more and more prevalent and don’t have to slow down as much. This trend doesn’t appear to be slowing down. You can’t make the bumps big enough otherwise it’s going to wreck cars. People also haul ass immediately after getting off the bump, so you end up with lovely brake squeals and engine sounds for a few hundred feet of decreased speed. They prematurely wear suspension components and brakes and lead to increased fuel usage.

    They’re shit and I’m so glad I’ve moved out of the southern US and back into snow country where speed bumps simply can’t exist. I don’t know why speeding through residential areas is so much less prevalent in the north, where there are far fewer speed bumps, but I love it.

  • Speed bumps are such a shitty solution to speeding. I’d prefer speeders to speed bumps.

  • I don’t feel college is about teaching you how to do

    <current technique>

    so much as it is about teaching you how to critically think and teach yourself.

    I’m currently working in healthcare IT as an EMR analyst, I’ve got a degree in biochemistry. My IT experience is from fucking with my own computer since ~1999. I don’t feel I missed out on much by not getting a degree relevant to my current career.

    I never performed a Western blot a single time outside of a classroom lab but learning that process, how it worked, the precision and attention to detail needed to do the thing, how to troubleshoot a failed test, etc have been relevant regardless if I’m doing clinical lab stuff or implementing a new cardiology computer system.

    Then again I also didn’t go to college for tech so maybe I’m not understanding the issue here. Are people in IT not expected to learn on the job about how things are done at that organization? That’s been my admittedly narrow experience in the field.

  • People complain that it's poor design that humans eat and breath through the same pipe(throat). Are there any animals which don't though?

    Jump

  • Right, that’s what I’m saying. Not enough data to make hard claims, which is why I’m saying this statement is a bit of a stretch:

    if a dolphin needs to they can breathe thru their mouths just fine.

    As far as I can tell this has happened once ever. I’m not sure that qualifies as “just fine” when there’s more evidence that plugging a blowhole is very bad for the dolphin.

    Jump

  • Do you have a link for that? Everything I’m finding says they can’t breathe through their mouth. There’s one scientific paper where they found a mouth breathing dolphin and said this has never been described in a scientific paper before. As far as I can tell there’s just this one dolphin who’s been seen doing it.

    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/mms.12349

    Here’s a paper describing a dolphin that died due to blowhole obstruction:

    https://meridian.allenpress.com/jwd/article/57/4/959/469580/Fatal-Blowhole-Obstruction-by-Eel-in-Common

    To me it seems more like a one off case that a dolphin was able to mouth breathe, not that all of them can.

  • Horses still breathe through the same pharynx that food goes through. The question isn’t mouth vs nose breather it’s “what animals have separate pathways for food and air”, so a horse doesn’t qualify. It’s harder for a horse to inhale food because of the soft palate but it’s not impossible.

  • That air is still going through the same tube as the food though, regardless of nose or mouth breathing.

  • Trump compared to mobster Tony Soprano by former envoy to Panama

    Jump

  • Tony was way more fucked up than just the anxiety issue which was eventually solved. His narcissism prevented himself from recognizing that he created many of the problems in his life. He never acknowledged his faults. Panic attacks were the only thing he couldn’t ignore, so he sought treatment as a means to an end. The attacks made him look weak in the eyes of his fellow mafiosi.

  • Trump compared to mobster Tony Soprano by former envoy to Panama

    Jump

  • I'd argue that's not why Tony went. Tony went because he was having panic attacks and it was harming his public image and perceived power. He did not think he was fucked up, and frequently stated how therapy was a waste of time and he didn't need it.
