Trying to keep busy to get my mind off of things.

I just opened some yogurt and when I did the entire bottom came off.

Thank God I was holding it over a plate so 6 oz. of yogurt didn't spill everywhere

What flavour was it ?

mixed berry

Was explaining my BIB's to a guy in class that knows a lil bit about audio. He seemed pretty skeptic of the whole idea, of course it was hard for me to explain questions very confidently because I don't know too too much about BIB's. Guess I'll just have to invite him over when they are complete.

On another note, I was so bored today in my electrical class I wrote out exactly how I am going to cut each board for the project. I really hope I can find someone with a descent table saw to cut my stuff. My table saw is horrible and we are in desperate need of a new one.

I quit trying to explain my audio projects to people in class.

The best way I've found to explain stuff like that is. "Waves bounce around, black magic happens, and a little speaker makes big sound. Now sit down and listen"

Speaking of boredom in class, I remember calculating cuts in the philosophy class in high-school

Sig-worthy ! Do you mind if I use it ?

10 more hp for how many more cubic inches?

Wow.

/rant.

4V DOHC vs. 2V OHV

The cubic inch argument is way stronger than the valve argument, if it were the other way GM would use more valves. Either way this whole comparison is stupid.

Bottom line. DOHC engines are more advanced, have better emissions, can make better power per cubic inch but are more costly to build. Ford went the way of reducing emissions (of course they thought they had to) and more high tech, GM went the way of making things cheap as the only way the General has ever known how to sell anything is to make it cheaper than the competition. Regrettably this is going to potentially be the end of the General as the Koreans can outdo anything we can when it comes to cost, in particular with our liberal bullchit union crap.

When all is said and done, the LS will make more power cheaper but it won't make more power. The Mod motor can easily hold its own, but the aftermarket support isn't there and with more moving parts it IS more expensive to build. The cost does come with benefits, but of course there is the cost. At the moment Ford is a bit behind as they are way behind in cubic inches, I mean 281 isn't chit although with forced induction or other power adders they can still easily keep up with an LS. Some cubes will make this power war unfair in Ford's benefit finally although without the aftermarket and with extra valves the expense will deter most builders.

Bottom line right now, bang for the buck the cheapest way to make power is with an LS out of a truck, some aftermarket heads, a cam, a cheap intake and a carb. There is no cheaper way to break 500hp; however, I will add that it really, really sucks that it has to be some antiquated stupid pushrod no rpm truck engine that this has to happen in.

As for power per cube and size, they both suck. My 1991 BMW 3.5L I6 makes 345hp. fudge the 99 DOHC 4.6 and the LS, they are both antique crap in comparison. And do realize that the 3.5L in my car is a 1978 engine that has been detuned. Of course it needs overhead valves to do it, but all sophisticated engines will have them.

Great post.

You should see me trying to explain shit to people .

Feel as if i need to communicate in 10 year old terms...

[topgun 262]

So what am I doing... wasting time on tuckermax.com while laughing in the library.

[ford302redneck 15]

I made my post goal last night.

[vladd 26]

Tom, have you read anything on the "Darwin Finches" on the Galapagos Islands? Evolution happening every generation. Wonder what Huckabee would have to say about it.

anyone that actually thinks evolution isn't real is pretty much an ininformed tard.

We can observe evolution again and again.

gah I just remembered that I still have 5 gal of spec, 155 sqft. of Raam that I need to install, and a bunch of stuff I need to take pics of to hopefully sell next week. I really need Spring Break

What we can't do is prove that it's a form of creation. There are so many little details that points towards it it's scary, but there little details don't make up for the huge gaps.

I myself do believe in god, though i believe in evolution as well. It's not nearly as difficult as most religious or scientific people make it sound. I don't believe in religion and i don't believe in the bible as other people do though.

This is somewhat a touchy subject for alot of people.

Im strong believer in God. Just how I was raised.

Now, is evolution true? Why yes, I think so. But only to a certain extent cause of my religion beliefs.

I believe the Bible is a great place to base your morals. i know there is a lot of ambiguity in the bible, but I also know that a King was the one that got it interpreted. So we read interpretations of an interpretation and we all know Kings weren't always so noble.

I've also become a huge believer in Karma, but I do think that God is the one that inflicts this Karma. It's just amazing how apparent karma can seem when looking from an outsiders prospective.

I don't see how it is far-fetched that something could be created with the ability to evolve. Just look at humans. We make cars then evolve them to be better suited for certain conditions (snow tires, improved suspension). If I had the power to create living creatures then I probably would have invented them for a way to evolve as well.

One thing I've always wanted to explore was the fact that a lot of people have actually died and have had "light at the end of the tunnel dreams" before being brought back to life. I've always wanted to see this approached scientifically.

If you don't mind my asking....what caused or gave you your religious beliefs?
