  1. #MissKittyPolitics This is how #stupid #oil is. Every single #horsepower that has come from oil production is what ladies and gentlemen? Sixth graders used to answer it better than you.🤯🤯🤯 Legacy #solar. Think it through. The sun grew the plants, they got buried and turned into oil. Solar. ⏪⏪⏪

  2. 1/ Horsepower subscriptions

    It is happening. Subscriptions for basic services are becoming more commonplace. Greedy companies keeping you out of something they have already sold to you. Physically, it's in your hands.

    They still choose gatekeeping through perpetual fees which they unilaterally control. The ethical and moral depravity is only comparable to what I have seen in software.

  3. A little KiCad view of a design I have been wanting to make. A web blink horse quad Triac switch. The idea is to have an AC wire coming in on the tail and that wire gets split into 4 feet wires.

    The load carried by the horse in the saddle would be the triac switches. I got excited by the PCB via grids @skyguided was using and thought they would be a nice saddle heat sink.

    Still gotta work out the exact shape, @alifeeney is gonna draw me a horse to make the PCB shape. Holding off to route the traces till then.

    I am sure I am doing something electrically strange here. Any electrical engineers are welcome to tell me. Happy to provide a schematic.

    Its gonna have a warning saying its a dangerous horse that kicks if you touch it and its plugged in. I should probably make some sort of box to at least cover the backside of the PCB.

  4. Why not switch to horses instead of cars? 🐴🌱 They’re more ecological and bring us closer to nature! #HorsePower #EcoFriendly #SustainableLiving

  5. Train 33, IC3: 1435 mm standard gauge, 15 kV AC 16.7 Hz, 13 carriages and 16600 horses in those two locos.

  6. this #meme came up in my feed today, apparently it's a really old meme, but whatever, I just got curious and wanted to know if there was a conversion from #horsepower to other #animals.

    it should surprise nobody that there is a #reddit thread ( reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/co ) where someone determines that the #llama, at possibly its worst (I'm a fan of worst-case-scenarios so I don't overestimate) a llama has 1/5 the power of a #horse.

    if that is true, the bottom part of this meme depicting a car with 340 #llamathrust means a car of ~68hp, which could be a lot of cars.

    I like to think the best of people, and that they lovingly and thoughtfully crafted their meme, which means that I think maybe the meme creator included an easter egg, and is talking about one car in particular... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_

    ...because llamas #spit. brilliant.

  7. Am #Fensterfreitag hab ich schon #Pferde vor der #Apotheke kotzen sehen. Oder waren es doch eher #Pferdestärken am #Carfreitag? Oder gar #Esel, ähm . . also . . . #Drahtesel?

    I've already seen
    #horses puking in front of the #pharmacy on #WindowFriday. Or was it rather #horsepower on #Carfriday? Or even #donkeys, um . . . so . . . #wiredonkeys?

  8. #KnowledgeByte: #Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power (the rate at which work is done).

    The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses.

  9. Does a caravan pulled by 8 horses value people more than the folks on the side of the ride trying to make the pilgrimage from Europe to Jerusalem in the 8th century?

    The #US #Army had some RU-21’s modified for #SIGINT work in support of Central American #rebels and anti-#drugtrafficking operations. Some also served in the #GulfWar. They were #retired from service in 1993.
