overview for FedX

Similar experience for my first time having they/them pronouns used IRL... I was mountain biking in full body armor, full face helmet, and goggles. Someone said to their kid, "let them go ahead, they'll be really fast," or something. I proceeded to hit 48km/h on singletrack, a speed I haven't replicated since. So I guess I was given a speed boost by the comment?

A WRX will always love you... if you give it the love they deserve. (If you don't your gearbox will explode and your head gaskets will disintegrate).

Of course. It's a Subaru Impreza WRX. Heck, looks to be a bugeye if my eyes don't deceive me. I probably did that when I got my first WRX...

[Discussion] Would you be willing to build an alliance with another ideology with similiar goals? If so, what ideology? in c/anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Agreed. In many ways the idea of ideology is a reductive concept. All ideologies hold some amount of merit and problems. If you try hard enough, there is even a decent argument to be made for kings (no, I'm not arguing for kings, I am simply using it as a talking point). I really don't subscribe to any one ideology, and I don't think most people here do either. I like aspects of anarchism, socialism, communism and georgism, all have merits, all have problems. I suspect most people here are the same, we all come to different conclusions from different life stories. We recognize the problem, but our plan for the future by no means has to look the same. Honestly, the "leftist infighting" is our greatest strength, not a weakness.

Which Android app do you use for YouTube? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I don't watch YouTube on my phone anymore other than FireFox with uBlock. For me, it's all a YT feed aggregated by RSS and played by MPV on Linux.

What the fuck?! That application process is insane!

Mathematical Modeling of a Magnetorheological Damper (www.mdpi.com)

submitted 4 days ago by FedX@quokk.au to c/askscience@lemmy.world

I am trying to mathematical model a passive Magnetorheological damper. Broadly speaking, this would work by having a magnet sit on the damper shaft near the damper body. As the shaft moves, it would induce an eddy current in the damper body, creating a magnetic field. Not only would this magnetic field oppose the magnet's motion, but it would increase the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid inside the damper body. On paper, this would rapidly increase the damping forces with increasing shaft speeds, allowing for more controlled shaft speed.

Fortunately, I found a paper discussing a damper similar to my ideas. Unfortunately, I don't really understand the math, and I need the damping force equation in terms of velocity to validate the application I have in mind. Linked is the paper I am referring to.

For my purposes, I would also want to model separate traditional high and low speed compression and rebound circuits moving through traditional mechanical damping circuits, along with some other damping features. However, that's a problem for future FedX, right now I really just care about the broad differences in damping characteristics as a function of shaft velocity.

Nah, I saw salsa at first too.

If your anything like me, that imaginary world is a horrifying character of the cyberpunk distopia we find ourselves in as a means of overt social commentary... So I'll take some laptop memory if you will.
