Hy guys, hope Google translates that correctly, it's about my son Ben Jay, he's 70% disabled, he can't ride a tricycle or ride a bike, that's why we applied for a disabled tricycle through his health insurance. Costs 4500 euros also in dollars. On the grounds that he doesn't have to ride a bike, the application was rejected. and that I call VIOLATION OF EQUALITY! Because of the alleged police attacks in the USA, 50,000 people go to Austria to demonstrate who is going on the street for my child? my child is not a criminal or ex criminal, my son is 6 years old and would like to ride a tricycle or bike like other children.

I am really angry,

Anyone else having issues with it? It's been down for a little while now here on the East Coast, and it's being reported fairly widely. Youtube and all other Google services are down as well, alongside presumably any services on their cloud. 

Very rare for a company of its size to ever experience anything of this scale. Anyone else experiencing issues? 

I'm sure it will be back up within the next couple of hours.

For the past few weeks I've been planning out a project that is going to be quite hefty. I've always wanted to create my own forum platform and share it with the world and now I've got a bit more spare time on my hands, I thought now is as good a time as any.

Introducing... Blither.

I've made a blog post on the website explaining my plans so far for the project and will update it as a sort of devlog. I'll also post here with more off-the-cuff updates.

Note: I'm not saying any current solution is in any way bad, I just want to try making my own.

On the 4th of June 1967, the Ford Cosworth DFV engine raced its first race. It was the third race of that season. It started on pole position driven by Graham Hill in a Lotus 49 – half a second clear. The race was won by Hill’s team-mate, Jim Clark, who blitzed the field.  This engine is behind more race wins (155)  world champions (12) and constructors championships (10) than any other engine in the history of Formula 1 .  DFV stands for Double Four Valve and is the product of two inline 4 cylinder twin-cam engines. The Four Valve four cylinder was produced for Formula 2, which followed the highly successful Lotus Ford Cortina that was introduced in 1963 until May of 1966. To form the V8, two of these original engines were put together. Who would have ever thought an engine for a Cortina would be the basis of such a legendary F1 engine?

EXHAUST MEASUREMENT TO RDE WITH PEMS
How dirty is a 1982 diesel?
The Mercedes W123 Club measured the emissions of a 240 D. In traffic. We compare the result with our measurements of modern Euro 6 cars.
The W 123 series is the best-selling by Mercedes. It is considered to be particularly solid, its models are accordingly durable and popular. That is exactly why the Mercedes-Benz W123-Club has existed since 1996 and has been run by the manufacturer as an official brand club since 1998. A longtime club member drives a W 123 (240 D) from 1982.

At that time, there was still no sign of a Euro emissions standard. The club member's Mercedes limousine has 343,000 kilometers on the clock and an oxidation catalytic converter from Oberland Mangold in the exhaust system, which probably made it clean in the 1990s to Euro 1. The cat only oxidizes hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO), it has no influence on nitrogen oxides (NOX). However, they are a component of emissions, particularly from diesel vehicles. And they are harmful to health, which is why diesel engines have been discredited, especially since the VW exhaust gas scandal, and are threatened by driving bans in many places if they do not meet the Euro 6 emissions standard. This has been in effect since 2014.

State-of-the-art emission measurements on a classic car
The assumption: If diesel, which is already six years old, should be too dirty for the city, then 38-year-old oil burners like the 240 D would have to be a purely environmental catastrophe. An assessment that classic car drivers are opposed to from many sides. The club's 240-D driver works for a car manufacturer, also works professionally with diesel exhaust and does not share this assessment. To substantiate this, he arranged for his oldie to do what he did in the job: measuring emissions. And in accordance with the latest legal requirements, i.e. also in real road traffic (Real Driving Emissions, RDE) with mobile measuring devices (Portable Emission Measurement System, PEMS).



The club initiated an RDE trip at service provider AKKA, and in autumn 2019 the W123 enthusiast steered his 72-hp diesel with a 70-kilogram PEMS from AVL on the trailer hitch at 8 degrees, among other things, through the Remstal. "To achieve 120 km / h on the B29, it took 70 percent pedal travel, on slopes, despite full throttle, I struggled to make the 60 km / h for the RDE overland trip," the driver said afterwards. This certainly had no moderating effect on emissions. But the RDE-compliant route succeeded according to the specifications.

The RDE round brought the old Mercedes diesel to its limits.
Ancient diesel not dirtier than (many) EU6 diesel
The result of two calibrated trips: The W 123 emitted an average of 808 mg NOX per kilometer. It is only slightly above a 34 year younger, similarly sized, but around twice as strong Mercedes CLA 200 d and in the solid midfield of the measurement results that auto motor und sport has regularly determined together with the experts from Emissions Analytics since the diesel scandal - under comparable conditions: according to the RDE specifications, monitored by a measurement engineer on board, with PEMS, in real road traffic.

Tesla friends like to provide each other with video material about the company and its electric cars on social media, but in a recent case, a declared opponent provided the best pictures of a spectacular Tesla event on a freeway: there was like pictures from a traffic camera and show from other cars, a Tesla Model 3 on the left lane on the road, on which a small truck overturned was visible from a distance. And instead of switching to the free right lane like the other vehicles, the Tesla drove right into the middle.

Only Tesla Model 3 doesn't dodge
According to the blog Electrek, the incident took place in Taiwan on Sunday. Traffic camera images have also been published on YouTube by local media. They show a moderately busy highway in daylight......

Not sure if it's just me. I'm getting a blank page when I access anyone's profile. No error message, though - just blank.
