Re: Honest Question for ACWOS Members

Frankly, it was the Fw190 Consortium that draw me here ages ago. As the Il2 is for all purposes gone, so is the Consortium too faded into the mists of history. I do read the forum sometimes, and rarely comment on something - but it really might be the time to say bye-bye, finally.
Thanks from me!

Re: Out of interest-around the world

If I remember correctly, adding water/alcohol mixture into the cylinder will eliminate knocking - virtually raising the octane rating of the used fuel. Maybe they've found a nice way selling the low-octane with premium price... assuming this alcohol has been manufactured cheaply enough. A bit alcoho...

Re: Out of interest-around the world

€1.29/liter (Super - 95octane) Save yourself some money, Juha. You probably don't need the octane. At pump there's the choice between 95E10, 95E5(Super), 98E5 and occasionally 102 octanes. Since the car I drive, was manufactured before alcohol-frenzy (E10-stuff) began, I avoid it. There's a small p...

Re: Which state is the drunkest?

Friggin' amateurs. First time I drank vodka with my parents, was when I was 3. Hangovers have gotten worse over the last four decades though.

Re: Eat your heart out lads

Let's split the hairs here - amount of people isn't really the problem, but the _total_ amount of energy we're producing/using! Naturally, if the population is ever growing, and the total amount should stay at the same - it's less energy for an individual. Perfect tool for forming a real '1984'-type...

Re: Eat your heart out lads

Weell, we're using more and more of energy here -> end result is heat -> how fast is earth dissipating it to the space?
I'm not too worried about the actual amount of increase, but of the rate of change!
