Unexpected side effect from the talk here.

That's the cuddliest cutesy wootsie fluffy wuffy thing I've seen all day! Awwwwww its sooooo cute!!!! awww it's even in double action mode all safey wafey.

The dog will give me more than enough warning time to cock the hammer. Plus, her barking will cover the "click" when I cock it. I'll be fine.

I'm pretty fond of the audible that goes with stuffing a load of 00Buck into the chamber of a 12 gauge pump. It's universal... and they know whats coming next.

I NEED a dog... willing to trade two cats and a partridge in a pear tree.

 

[sgtsandman]

They won’t get that warning in my house. They might hear the click of the safety coming off, maybe. Pistol or shotgun.

 

[Uncle Gump]

They won't here either...

My Glock only makes one noise........BANG!

 

[Curious Hound]

Intruders don't deserve a warning.

My bedroom is darker than the hall/living room. So anyone there will present a good silhouette. I will have 3 little tritium dots all lined up in a pretty row in front of my eyes with that silhouette behind them.

Bang

I run my 3.0 at around 1800-2000 shifting at 3000 unless I really need to move or climbing a hill then my 94 3.0 I shift at 4500 rpms. Others may shift at 5000 or more but mine red lines at 4800/hits rev limiter so no 5000 rpms for the 94's.

You're looking at the rpm of peak power, not the redline. There's usually not much point in going past the peak power rpm though.

If torque causes no movement then why do we torque bolts? If I torque a bolt to lets say 100 Ft. Lbs. but it moves at 50 Ft. Lbs how it this not causing movement? This is a measurement of force against a stationary object, like drag racing, and what I mentioned earlier, torque launches the car off the line, the force exerted over a stationary object while also mentioned that H.P. was important to.

If the bolt is moving when you're torquing it, then you are transferring energy (doing work). When it stops turning and you do the final torque setting technically things are compressing/stretching so a little energy is still being transferred. The power to loosen it comes from thermal cycling and/or vibration, which does a little work over a long time.

In drag racing you're accelerating the vehicle from a stop, but the engine is most definitely not stopped at launch - it is at a high rpm way up in the power curve.

Both play a role and neither can be compared to each other.

Hp and torque are related but you can’t just go by one or the other.

They certainly are related: Power = Torque X RPM, or in words the rate of energy transfer is equal to the applied force times the velocity.

You cannot have one without the other, and trying to compare a thing to one of the pieces it's made of just leads to confusion.

There we go. One of the most sensible statements in this whole thread.

I forgot the option for the challenge.

AC on or off?

What the hell is AC? You mean the inverter in my console? ?

Hells Bells, AC is half of one of the BEST ROCK bands of all TIME.





JK, I like RAP

I said RAP, not dub step

Is a coincidence you can't spell "crap" without "rap"? I think not.
