Never seen how a sequential transmission works. Seems like there's this drum on the right side that is rotated by the lever, and I'm guessing (since you can't directly see it) the shift forks sit in the cams and engage and disengage as you rotate the whole thing. Also straight-cut gears.

Further gearbox chat, this is a really good teardown of a non-sequential NASCAR gearbox, there's a bunch of other interesting teardowns and engineering stuff on their channel too

there's gotta be a better method to scoop up the excess than having the lowest-paid employee go after it with a shovel. Maybe a tractor with a back blade or something,

"better" isn't the objective. "cheaper" is.

There's really not. Backblading and scooping it with a skidsteer is going to take up more time than just shovelling that poo poo into the bucket. The only times we had to cut the seam square like that was when we were doing airports and they don't gently caress around with seams and joints on a runway.

you guys and your space straws should be asking how tall trees or plants get water up that high.

(apparently the answer is negative pressure(in liquid), whatever that means.)

I thought it was due to the way hydrogen bonds. It's the same idea that causes water to climb up a paper towel if you hang some of it into a bowl of water.

I know, 2 week old posting, but I am loathe to give up the chance to remind about tree buttholes for the third time.

But you would be hard pressed to keep a 100m tall paper towel wet without some tree buttholes helping it along.

"When we saw them digging this spot out of the side of the mountain in Farmington, we couldn�t figure out what on earth someone would be doing up there. Finding out that it was for a house, mind blown."

"There's a reason we call that area "The Sand Pit". People have been trying to build on that and some neighboring slopes for decades. Many gave up. It looks like you finally found a geographical surveyor to do what you ask instead of what's right. the houses in Draper that just slid off the mountain are examples of what could happen when you mess with the natural slope of the mountain."

"Pretty much everyone in Farmington who could see this monstrosity of a house being built felt the same way over the last four years. It blows my mind to think that somebody�s �dream house� didn�t think far enough in advance for geological engineering services that would�ve prevented this from happening?"

In my grandparents' small rural Ohio hometown there is a similar situation. Some rich guy from the "big city" (Cleveland) came out few years ago and bought some farmland and used it to build a monstrous mcmansion. He didn't hire any local labor, instead bringing in a cheaper crew from somewhere else. With no local knowledge and cheap contractors, he sited his house too close to a soft marshland. After a couple of years it started to sink into the ground and it is visibly no longer level. All the local contractors are snubbing him just as he snubbed them.

Every time my grandma drives by this house she grins and tells me the story again.

We have been a few papers away from having a fully defined hydrodynamic model of trees from first principles for the past 20, possibly 30-40 years for some of the optimists.

Not least of all because you can do shitloads of tree science treating xylem and phloem as hydrostatic tubes of water so why bother figuring out how it moves up. Go tap a healthy tree in the summer and tell me how much water comes out. Not much because trees are hydrodynamic balancing machines which can hold water up as well as it could let gravity drain it down. Accordingly some of the first tree hydrostatic thoughts are the tree just grew up with the water and it puddled there and respirated water in to replenish it so far up. Water tap roots helped keep a base of water in the lower reaches. Not entirely wrong but very not right for current models.

Some easy steps into hydrodynamic modeling are capillary action from strong internal bonding, plus osmotic pressure from carbohydrates going into solution as part of photosynthesis. But, these are all sources of pressure throughout. Why can't I tap sap at any point of the year on most trees if there's hydrodynamic pressure?

Because remember trees are smart hydrodynamic balancing machines. What tools could a tree be using for this? There's talk of negative pressure. I kind of hate the term but it's kind of what it is. The water goes somewhere else, making room for more water which is replaced molecule by molecule by the strong internal bonding forces. The obvious choice is the water is being used in photosynthesis. But that's not smart, it's dumb. If you were to tap the tree it's now got to start photosynthesizing faster to balance the forces.

Maybe it's just really good at plugging holes? Some trees, sure. But there's more to it.

The tree is smart and has evolved perfect leaf buttholes that are good natural examples of Maxwell's demon. Tree buttholes, also called stomata, very closely regulate the mass transfer of water heated by the sun and/or cellular respiration. By letting water molecules leave in a controlled fashion, the forces are balanced such that the tree appears to be a big boring hydrostatic stick of water instead of a highly intelligent hydrodynamic balancing machine with millions of perfect demonic buttholes.

This reminded me of when they replied sections of I10 outside of town a few years back. For some reason they removed most of the shoulder and left a sharp drop off that was over 6" high in some places. We get high winds out here and apparently that pushed a couple 18wheeler trailers off the edge and they were then unable to get back on the road because of the steep lip left behind. This resulted in trucks with blown tires and several that ended up flipping when the edge of the road forcefully jerked their trailer into the ditch. I had a nice chat with an insurance adjuster and his crew who spent the day measuring miles of curb height along that route on behalf of one of the trucking companies insurance.

They did something similar around here. Sudden temporary laneshift on an interstate with 6" of shoulder before a dropoff. I think ten trucks rolled before someone had the bright idea to bring in some gravel.
