Isn’t it the case that diesel engines continue to compress air while petrols don’t? This plus the significantly longer stroke might account for some of the difference. Yes the air is decompressed right afterwards but significant amounts of work must be lost as heat.

I don’t know what to say. It’s just my personal experience. While driving different cars the diesels always braked much more, and at lower RPMs. Coasting down an incline, put the diesel in 3rd, it will spin up to 2000 then go down to 1600 and stay there, braking the car 10-15 km/h. The equivalent petrol will spin up to 3000 and stay there, and not reduce the car’s speed, just keep it from accelerating. Something like that happened across many different cars and engine displacements. Maybe it’s because the petrols go down to as little as 1L of displacement and 3 cylinders while the smallest diesels are still at 1.6L and 4. Or it’s because the diesels are always turbocharged, while the petrols are sometimes naturally aspirated.

In my experience diesels brake better than petrol engines. Maybe it’s because of their longer stroke and better compression. But in any case a manual transmission is best.

I believe they’re just misinformed by neoliberal corporate media

Some people believe hacker means IT criminal. Which it does not.

Musk is a fascist.

Fighting Nazis, exposing Nazis, calling Nazis Nazis, etc are not political views. The are the only correct and sane thing to do for anyone.

If you mean electric vehicles, they are much better at engine braking than fossil fuel vehicles, because the braking power can be precisely applied through the motor acting as a generator. In Toyota hybrids as well. The number of gears doesn’t really matter in this case.

We’re not in the USA

Also engine braking

This is not unusual. Lots of sons and daughters of the wealthiest oligarchs and top politicians are living in Londongrad. Which btw makes putlers nuclear threats against the UK all the funnier

Exakt! Und bei 1.80 ist Schluss. Ist ja auch niemand größer als das.

What does the citizenship matter? Is a person only entitled to not being tortured if they have a specific piece of paper?

Very interesting, thank you for posting this!

I understand completely, I feel the same way!

So, China from Temu. Ironic.

No organisations. Individuals can be declared terrorists and held indefinitely and have their human rights violated up to and including torture without even seeing a judge. USA! USA! USA!

The realisation that the distinction between north and south is made mostly for racist reasons hits you after you learn that many US-americans only think of the USA and Canada when they talk about North America
