Reply to comment by BlowjobPete in ELI5: How exactly do we get some much power from engine now, than we did 40, 50, 60 years ago? by Micromashington

Don't forget that the methods of measuring power are questionable at best... Even today.

Can take a car from ford, bmw, vw, Mercedes, and dodge and toss them on the same Dyno on the same day and there is a decent amount of variance between their self reported and actual...

Most notable the BMW 335 from the mid 2010s where it somehow was developing more power than claimed.

Where most usually develop 10-20% less due to drivetrain loses

Reply to comment by futtbuckicecreamery in ELI5 How did knights participate in tournaments like jousting without killing themselves? by QuantumHamster

It amazes me they still let them run it.

200 mph down extremely long straights that are not maintained to a standard that most tracks are kept at.

One of the famous motorcycle medics was killed a few years ago too. It's shocking that the only way to have a reliable medic on the course involves them in either a high end 911 or a bike.

Back in high school, administrators would regularly harass some of the African American students because their hair was 'unkept' or 'dirty'. Going as far as to suspend some for refusing to cut it or straighten their dreads.
