They have to offer a more fuel efficient version, and they have to make it attractive enough that some % of the market will order it.

And still, I've seen network shatter operations in the past, and your behavior perfectly emulates them, with the sole exception that (to your credit), you do not run a flood of sock puppets.
Who picks your targets?

No. Really not. But your smug condescension pretty well pegs your IQ at 120 or so.
Anyway, There are lots of Pagans, Mormons, and even some Atheists I can mskw common cause with.
And again, I have no idea from Dread. No idea what he says or what he's about. We got into a discussion like my 2nd day on fedi, and he blocked me. But that's beside the point.
The point is that you clowns, your entire instance as near as I can tell, go around brigading your designated targets (designated by whom, I wonder), trying to isolate them with smear tactics like this.
It won't work here.

So you surmise and accuse, attempt guilt by association, and you wonder at the reaction you get?
I thought I was the autistic one.
Demanding denunciations of online acquaintance is a faggot game, the kind of thing Hasbara and DIA do to attempt to shatter networks. I guess Trevor is right about you.
As a matter of principle, I and many others refuse to denounce anyone who is actually on our side.
When you find oyt which of your compatriots on your circlejerk of a fefi instance is your handler, will you denounce him? Or will you brigade some other instance?

I don't know. I think that for some, reciting or even typing the creed would be seen as an act of submission to will of God, or an admission of their own error.

No, it's not enough.
Because they will redefine every word in the statement to mean something else. Mormons think they're Christians too.

If you want to be treated as a Christian, it's a simple, expedient way to prove you're neither a jew, an idolator, nor a demoniac.
I no longer assume that anyone is a Christian jyst because they make Christisn word-noises.

Patrick McNee in his autobiography "Blind In One Ear" talked about being offered the ticket. He was getting acting gigs on the stage in London, landed a starring role as John Steed in "The Avengers" on TV, and was offered a starring role in an American film production. He just had to "go to dinner" with the producer. He'd been around actors and artists enough to know what was expected.
He turned down the offer and his career pretty much dried up, going from roles as John Stud to roles as the Rich Gay Englishman, like Sir Dennis Eaton-Hogg in Spinal Tap.

Barleycorns are 1/3 of an inch.
US men's shoe sizes are number of barleycorns in length (3x length of foot in inches) - 22.
So a foot that's 9 inches =36 barleycorns - 22 = size 14
A foot that's 4 1/2 inches = 13 Barleycorns - 22 = -9. But negative numbers don't work, so it's a children's size with the number subtracted being 9 or 10, depending on manufacturer. So a 4.5 inch foot = 13 -9 =size 4.
Women's shoes, for no discernable reason use a slightly smaller factor, they subtract 19, 20 or 21 barleycorns.

Israel is the Kingdom, of which Christ is the King. The ethnic tribal kingdom that God granted to the Hebrews is not His Kingdom. It never was and it couldn't be.
Read your scripture. Just remember: Hebrews are not Israelites are not Judahites, are not Judeans, are not jews. Modern day jews have literally nothing in common with the biblical Kingdom of Israel, except a propensity to demon worship.

They are a covenant with the Church. The Church is Israel. Or, more accurately, the Israelites were a prefigurement of the True Israel, Christ's church.

His position is even more extreme. He holds that you cannot, even theoretically, lose your salvation by rejecting Christ, blaspheming the Holy Spirit, worshipping Satan or other Pagan gods, or explicitly telling Jesus you don't want or need Salvation. Literally nothing you do can affect it.

I believe in God, the Father, Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His Son, Our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried, descended into hell, rose again from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty, who will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
and life everlasting.

It is the law, of most ancient and venerable custom, going back to the Apostles, that no Catholic religious service of any kind can be held at which the Gospel is not read aloud to the congregation.
This is what Bob calls "Withholding the Gospel."
What was banned were bad and heretical translations and commentaries, of the sort you seem to be most admiring of..

You are both illiterate ignorant and stupid.
The bible was read aloud in every church in Chistendom every fucking day, by the only people available who could read. They made sure to cycle through the sections of the bible so the entire NT and most of the old would be read every year.

They US Navy controls comms aboard ship. Full stop. Nothing goes out unless they allow it. I would have expected a lockdown even if the ship hadn't been attacked, it's standard practice in a war zone. Certainly if they are trying to cover something up they have the ability and the desire to shut it all down.
I think the ship was probably hit, but probably not nearly as badly as the Houthis want to make it seem. It will be up to the Navy brass to make the announcement, no CO is going to say anything on his own.
I don't have an argument re: drone shots though, except they've kept out to sea far enough to avoid most land-based drones. Certainly that won't matter to Iran.
We'll see.

If it were that simple, somebody, notably Chrysler, would have done it. The problem at the time is that it was a solution in want of a problem. It was less fuel efficient, less performant, and far more expensive than a conventional engine. It was bothersome to fuel (tetraethyl lead fouls the turbine blades), and the added expense bought very little the customer cared about. The electric car industry solved this by inventing and selling problems their cars can solve, but those problems are not addressed by automotive turbine engines either.
The addition of a hybrid system would resolve two of the big problems with the automotive turbine, but only at additional cost. The question is "In what way would it be better for the buyer than a conventional hybrid?" If you have a good answer to that question, you can make it work.

2024-06-14 02:49:43

We have the experience. The Chrysler Turbine program built 50 cars and loaned them to volunteers for 3 months at a time, for almost a decade.
They found the maintenance on these cars to be substantially less than a conventional ICE car. And that's with what are essentially prototype engines.
Can a hybrid system reduce maintenance? Possibly, but keep in mind the hybrid components themselves require maintenance as well. One of the advantages of a turbine is that it has essentially one moving part.
