The second hole is for static air. Here is some good info.

I feel like an idiot for not thinking of that sooner. I'd even asked myself "how will this adjust to the difference in altitude?"

UH-60A/L crew member. It all depends on what type of aircraft it came off of. For your application you should be able to cap it off. Use rigid tubing. Dirt/debris/water getting in the pitot tube will degrade performance considerably. In the 60's the airspeed indicator is tied into the HUD, afcs, stabilator control, and a few more. I have wanted to do this as well but ours are measured in knots not actual ground speed.

Since I'm playing with aero, I'm looking for an airspeed measurment so I can establish a control speed. From there I can more accurately quatify improvements (or detriments) to airflow over/around the car.

The ASI's I've been looking at are takeouts from Beechcrafts, Cessnas, Pipers etc, so doubtfull it goes to a HUD... but you are saying that it goes to an accessory and isn't neccesary for the ASI to function, right?

I'm kind of assuming that an ASI works like an oil pressure gauge: You just have a line in where pressure is measured, and it's a closed/dead-end system.

Maybe the extra line leaves the gauge and goes to a Stall alarm?

I'm looking at airspeed indicators on ebay (because, that's why!), andi'm seeing that the majority of the simpler ones have two threaded holes in the back, and that's it.

I can assume that one of those goes to the pitot tube to provide pressure... what is the other one for?

When plumbing the pitot tube to its approlpriate pressure measuring device, I would assume that I should stick with a tubing that won't flex or bulge?

That tubing should not pass by heat sources that would effect the pressure?

Yes, I'm looking into putting one on a car.

I've never had a problem with ceramic pads stopping my 540...?

Your car has brakes?

I know that's the right choice, but you gotta understand that I'm going through some emotional problems with this car; I'm fighting the urge to Because Racecar. I went a bit nut on my last car and I'm trying to keep this one nice.

I'm confused and I need The Rapist... I mean, A Therapist.

So Eric, I guess we never asked. What are you trying to buy these pads to do?

Stop 4000lb car quickly, not fudging up the wheels was just a bonus that I read about and wanted to get input.

I won't be doing road-course track days on this, but bringing the car down from obsenely high speeds in a quick and safe manner is very important to me. Fade problems just won't fly. I've used HPS in this application before and wasn't dissapointed... but I'm adding about 30mph now, and I'm older and wiser, and thinking more about death.

Looking for a pad and I hate cleaning wheels. These two are similar in price.... does the braking suffer with the ceramics?

Any other decent options for SN95 cobra brakes?

Thud

it is, but that doesn't change the fact that the 1st part of the phrase (made in) is in English language and Italy is written in German language and that's kinda funny to me

All I see is the word ALIEN.

This was written and submitted by the insurance lobby, why is anyone surprised.

It's a handy way to establish fault in an accident, would be welcomed by anyone who's ever been fucked by a lack of witnesses. If you want to still drive like an ass and crash into people, get a car made prior to 2015 and you're golden.

I don't want questions of why mommy and daddy have different plates for dinner.

Why? I eat differently than my son and welcome the questions. Getting them to realize that different people have different requirements is a healthy thing. It may keep him from eating like the footbal team in highschool, whilst he's in the chess club.

I'm also raising him on my own.The key to working out is integrating the kid into your physical labors. I tossed out the stroller at a very early age and carried him, got him a bike seat as soon as his head could support a helmet, and thse days (he's 6) he can pedal his own bike as far as 10mi at a time with me running along. I also developed a "prison workout" scheme for after his bed time: Convicts stay ripped in an 8x8 cell, I can do the same stuff in my livingroom.

The rate of wheat-induced illnesses around the world has been on the rise.

The rate, or the occurance? Occurance is relative to popularion, so as the population doubled over the last 35 years, so would the occurance. Many people have associated many ailments with many things (Jenny McCarthy), which I why I always ask for source data. I'm going to look into that hybridization, you've caught my interest there.

...on average people eat ~440 extra calories per day when including it in their diet.

It's a huge source of carbs, too, ya gotta use it. I'm a carb-loarder (as well at glycogen), I'm away of what it contributes to your body. People who eat a lot of anything and don't burn it off are certainly going to gain weight. It's not the grains fault that people are lazy.

but the agriculture lobby is much more powerful, so why would you believe anything they say?

I don't know anything about what they say, I'm not quoting any industry studies. I'm pointing to statistics and 7 millenia of human dietary trends. It's part of our evolutionary history and it's still working just fine in a great many people.

 

 

I went on the diet in order to be heatly, not to lose weight. Considering I started at 5'8" 135 lb, 28" waist I have no reason to want to lose weight.

Yeah, you need that 9% back. Swinging the other way, to date my greatest physical acheivements occured when I had a higher fat content in my body, and that was likey beneficial. Spending a few days lugging 40lb around the upper Troposphere with a static amount of food tends to put a drain on your physical resources, especially when you puke. This marathon will be my first "difficult" physical expendature since loosing the weight.

A sugar is a sugar is a sugar. There are studies that show that the only difference is that HFCS gets absorbed into your blood a bit faster, but otherwise your body processes it the same.

Cite those studies, what they criteria studied, and who carried them out. There are many sudies to the contrary, and the industry has been in high-gear defense mode since they were published. They'ye pulling a full Philip-Morris. A sugar is a sugar, and HFCS is not a complete "sugar", it's a monosaccaride. Fructose is absorbed from the digestive tract by a different mechanism than glucose. Fructose exists in nature (Fruct means fruit), but it is NEVER alone in nature. Isolating it confuses your innards.

Since cutting out wheat, not changing anything else, and still not exercising regularly, I lost 9% of my body weight and my acne has almost disappeared...There are plenty of cases of people on insulin that went wheat free and either no longer need it, or have greatly reduced their dependence on diabetic meds. The same goes for many conditions that have been proven to be influenced by wheat or a gluten spectrum disorder.

Your condition is unique and it outside the spectrum of this general discussion. Your specific body has a problem with wheat, and your mention of Insulin indicates that the other people benfitting from this also have specific health anomolies. Have you had your tyroid checked?

Counter point: Sardinia. The longest living people on the planet live on that island, and they eat the shit out of some grain and dairy. Grains have been a staple in human civilzation for 7000 years.

It is only recently that we're seeing negative reactions to it in young people... because there are 7'damn'billion of us and 90% of the civilized world just went through a couple of generations of pysiological abuse that has produced a myriad of problems within thier offspring... who then bred with eachother an dcompounded things. Rampant diabetes and gluten intolerance come from "the sins of our fathers".

What is the statistical significance of the studies you mentioned? Are those wheat-associated ailments pervasive or rare? You're going to find them to be rare. Grains are a red herring for the majority of us.

There is also an important distiction to be made between "Being Healthy" and just "loosing weight". Example; one of our chemists is my height and 10lb lighter. He and his wife subscribe to some diet who's name I can remember. This guy litterlay passed out in a meeting that went an hour over past lunch, because he didn't get his snack. He is capable of exactly zero physical exertion.... but hey, at least he's thin amirite?

Focusing soley on diet will make you weak and kill you.

Eat a veggie-biased diet, made stuff as close as possible to its natural form, then go outside and doooo something. Eat yourself full no more than twice a day, and just deal with being hungry the rest of the time.

Furloaf wins the thread. You need more than a big slab of beef to maintain healthy physiology. We're Omnivoirs with a bias to plant matter: A vegitarian diet can be tailored to produce a healthy human body, a soley carnivourous diet cannot.

Did you know that dinosaurs went extinct 70 million years before monkey men started walking around?

fucking LIES!

actually it was this that got me interested in it.

I'm hoping to do a weekend this fall without bringing any food with me.

A diet named after evolutionary failures?

The first step to any successful it eliminating anything that includes High Fructose Corn Syrup; you're body doesn't know what to do with it, so it just turns it into storage; fat. It is not sugar, fuck it.

The second step is consistent physical activity. Find a hobby that kicks your ass twice a week: I climb. You might try buying an old Italian car and pushing it around every time it breaks down.

Sooo yeah, Paleo seems about right, but you need the activity.

Step 3 is what seems to hang up the chicks at work who always diet and never loose weight: You NEED TO BE HUNGRY. They snack on healthy shit constantly. You are supposed to be hungry for a certain percentage of the day. If you're not hungry, you're not going to burn anything. Schedule your meals and do not snack.

I fucked around with trying to diet for for about 10 years. Climbing regularly and cutting out bullshit food whose contents I can't mentally picture (WTF does Xanthan gum look like?) took me from 220 to 185, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The food tastes good, climbing is fun, and the girls at the climbing gym are cute. I'm also running my first marathon in a few weeks, I remember when I struggled to do 3 miles.

Live like an animal.

Black Flag, back to the Paddock with you.

If you're not sliding just a weee bit through 1, you're wasting your time at Mid Ohio. I love that corner, it took me a while to get comfortable with omitting the brakes through there.
