No, but in fact you’re on the right track to a deeper understanding of the nature of powertrains. AWD vehicles have a differential gear between the front and rear axles, allowing them to rotate at different rates - this is as opposed to 4WD vehicles, which do not have a center differential and have the front and rear axles locked together (when 4WD is engaged).

Being locked together is better for off-road conditions, but on hard surfaces while turning, having the front and rear axles locked together means the tires will scrub - since the front and rear wheels inscribe a different turning radius, they want to turn at different speeds, but if they’re stuck rotating at the same speed, a given wheel’s rotational speed doesn’t match the speed at which it’s moving over the road, and the wheel drags/scrubs. This does harm the turning radius a bit, but more importantly driving around like that damages the tires and powertrain.

Thus, you were on the right track. Namaste.

never really got into friends, seinfeld was better

I posted basically the same thing in a similar thread, but since this popped up on my feed I will repost it.

Your stupid little fake elections dont matter, yankee. Nothing in the world matters less than the kabuki theater contest between your democrats and your republicans. For over a century both your parties have lead campaigns of slaughter and pillage across the world, but now you’re being kicked out of the middle east. Your power is failing, and soon enough you’ll be kicked out of everywhere else too. Your fake parties and fake elections will be your problem and your problem alone. Welcome to the american century of humiliation.

and you have no idea what it is like living under the thumb of a government that doesn’t respond to your wants or your needs at all.

I will refute this, Canadians as well as most westerners know what that’s like, just maybe not quite as much as Americans.

that’s how the rules based international order works. a resistance group building tunnels under a walled-off ghettoized city is “using human shields”, but the most powerful army in the world* putting up troops in hotels to avoid them getting targeted at base, thus making the hotels targets, is just a reasonable tactical move.

*formerly accurate, now in question

As I recall the NYT admitted that the US had moved troops to office spaces and hotels, but only as a bare statement of fact with no mention that it entails using civilians human shields and is a war crime

Is it your business whether the Iranian regime falls?

He can still get blown up by a missile

Huh, I looked it up and it was worse than I thought. Still only 10% of the population compared to 20% of the population in North Korea, but still very bad. Nevertheless, the Soviets did it once, while the Americans did it a whole bunch of times.

He might invade Greenland, he might invade Cuba, he might invade Canada, he might invade Mexico. At this point, we may as well adopt the mindset of the Yemenis:

"We don’t care, we don’t care. Make it a major world war! My heart longs for Mausers and assault rifles.

They’re going to do what they’re going to do. Will they open up more fronts? Well that went great for Germany, so I’m sure it’ll go great for them.

Remember this when israelis whine about the missiles

Yeah, but it’s not comparable to what America did in Korea or Vietnam

Well she clearly wasn’t a viable choice, was she?

Right back atcha!

I agree entirely except for the thing about the USSR

sacrifices must be made, they’ll have to be wrinkly

I wouldn’t be so sure. You have a lot of money, a lot of people, and a large military, yes. But the money is fake, the people by and large aren’t doing anything productive, and the military is less and less effective. You don’t have the industrial capacity to be anything more than a regional power - what has made up for it in the time since you moved all your industry to China is your financial power, but that is dependent on, among other things, the petrodollar, which is now under direct threat.

Your neighbours will still have to worry about you, for a time at least, but outside of the western hemisphere you’ll shortly be as relevant as you were 200 years ago or so.
