'Morning flood.
Why not learn something today?
Or better yet teach someone something new!
I'm at work so what better to teach than PISTON ENGINES.
-piston engines operate in one of two modes, 2 stroke or 4 stroke configurations.
-the easiest way to remember the operation of an engine is
<suck, squeeze, bang, blow
-this also applies to turbine engines, though different in nature, due to lack of a crankshaft.
-2 stroke engines are known for higher RPM operation and 4 stroke engines are known for their outstanding torque, especially at mid to lower RPM ranges.
Questions?
Boom! You're smarter already.
Now, teach me something!

Whilst throwing a straight punch (ie jab or cross) step in with the same foot and use your hips and obliques to push yourself forward, then use that momentum plus some shoulder to punch. Also an instant ko every time is to hit the carotid artery (side of the neck in general area of the sternocleidomastoid or neck muscle) with a chop of some sort, as it sends an air bubble into the brain. The more you know

Two essential life tips everyone should be aware of, but everyone I know has had to find out the hard way. 1. Never use "pleasure max" lube on lady parts. It deadens everything for a good couple of hours and could well lead to a very angry and frustrated lover. 2. Similarly never use peppermint body wash on lady parts or man parts. Sure it'll give a pleasant cooling sensation for all of 10 seconds, but it turns pretty quickly to feeling like you've just dipped your genitals into a vat of liquid nitrogen and it [i]burns[/i] like the fires of Hades. Heed these warnings people. I consider this my public service for the day.

Let's do some stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is about the conversion mathematical conversion between units in chemistry. The three units you usually come across are grans, moles, and atoms. Grams are measured in, well, grams. Atoms are the amount of atoms in a certain amount of a substance, and moles are wierd. Moles are the amount of grams it takes of a sumbtance to completely contain Avogadro's number, in atoms. A's number is 6.022E23, or 60,220,000,000,000,000,000,000. Since different atoms and molecules are larger than others, to find the molar mass of something, you must look at the Periodic table. The average atomic mass (that little number under their chemical symbol, Hydrogen's is 1.01, Carbon is 12.01, Oxygen is 16.00, etc) is the molar mass of elements. To find the molar mass of large, complex molecules, you add together all the atoms in the substance. For example, take sulfiric acid, or H2SO4. H2= 2.02 S= 32.07 O4= 64 64+32.07+2.02=98.09 Sulfiric acid's molar mass is 98.09 grams, which means that in order to contain A's number of sulfiric acid molecules, you need 98.09 grams. To find out how many molecules there are in a substance, given you know the amount of grams you have, you first divide the amount of grams you have by the molar mass of the substance to find out how many moles you have. You multiply this by A's number. For example, suppose you have 23.5g of sulfiric acid. 23.5g H2SO4 --------------- = 0.2395759mol (you have 98.09g H2SO4 this many moles) Next, 0.2395759×6.022E23= 1.442E23 atoms of H2SO4 Any questions?

Never rest your hand on the gear shift of your car. You will wear the selector fork in the tranny. Heel toeing can be done several ways. If your ankle like mine isn't flexible enough to do it the "right way" no problem. Toe on edge of brake, roll foot sideways to hit gas with the other side of your foot. Do not do this barefoot, or with slim soled shoes however. Your foot may slip off, and under the brake in that case.

I like to know a tiny bit of everything rather than alot about one thing. Im pretty much the master at basic info but i cant go into any detail.
