 The non-window one shown only charges a quarter of its battery from the solar panel, the remaining 75% of the internal battery is charged from a standard microUSB cable. The solar charge is nice if you have no more options available, it'll keep you running for long enough to get things done but no longer than that. The full charge will fully recharge your phone though, just needs to be recharged again between uses. Source: I have one, it's pretty cool, not expensive either. | ||

The pumps are centrifugal, so they don't give a shit, and as long as the seals don't fail that's the only moving part the coolant should ever really come in contact with, and the salt isn't abrasive as long as it's completely dissolved. I didn't know all iron/steel engines were still produced because of the weight, machining, and thermal transfer advantages aluminum has. Just to be clear I don't think using salt water as engine coolant is a great idea because aluminum still has a corrosion problem that's made worse by salt, just like steel. Unless the radiator is made of stainless or brass that can resist salt then the use of salt in the coolant will result in purchasing a radiator more often, and increased corrosion of all the other metal parts the coolant comes in contact with, which is bad. | ||

| I said modern, modern diesels are still going to be mostly aluminum by weight, most of the parts are steel, but many of the big parts that make up most of the engine's weight are mostly made of aluminum because it has better thermal transfer capabilities, it's easy to cast and machine, it resists corrosion from weather better than steel and cast iron, and it reduces the weight of the engine. Pretty much all the moving parts and the cylinder walls are still steel because aluminum isn't strong and or durable enough. A lot of them like the brand new 2.8, gm diesal have iron blocks. Even still quite a few gas engines like the 3.8 in my gm, are iron block engines. (That engine amd variants were used up to the end of the last generatoon impalla. lot of companies switched to iron block aluminium heads. But a large portion of cars are still highly iron in their engines, which goes back to the point no salt. Also since salt is abrasive it's probably not good for moving parts (water pump etc) Are you talking about coolant flow?

 What do you mean when you say "being involved doesn't make you responsible"? It seems like you're directly contradicting yourself by saying that the US is responsible for ruining nations that it has been involved in (Iraq, Vietnam) while simultaneously not giving credit for helping nations that it was involved in the rebuilding of (Japan, South Korea). Western nations are directly responsible from bringing Japan out of the dictatorship that it was living under and for saving South Korea from falling into the hands of one. You can keep going back in time and finding earlier causes like the Silk Road expanding European knowledge of technology, but if you really want to do that there is no end to how far back you can take it.  I think the point is that we prosper when we interact, instead of hating a single group. | ||

| How so? South Korea wouldn't even exist without American led UN forces assisting with the war against North Korea and the USSR. Much of early European technological advances came as a result of trade with ancient China. The point I'm making is that every culture has influenced another culture. Being involved doesn't make you responsible if it did Iraq, Vietnam, Cuba ... and a whole mess of countries would be better. The US has ruined it's fair share of nations in the last century.

anon (11/25/2015) [-] BLOODCIRKULATION IS A FUCKING FAGGOT WHO BLOCKED ME YOUR REGARDS, ENLIGHTEDNATZIE  i don't see it as a hole the whiter you are = the more civilized and prosperous  Because they're a homogeneous capitalist meritocracy. Just like America should be.  South Korea and Japan are heavily based off of America, since America made them into the countries they are today. What I was getting at is it said whites are the ONLY people that can build advanced civs. #19 -
anon (11/25/2015) [-] Actually, and this isn't a serious argument I just like talking about it, Japan during it's imperial era very much subscribed to "white-man's burden" ideology. i.e. it was the responsibility of whites (the Japanese, they considered themselves white and the slightly darker [according to the Japanese] Koreans and Chinese non-white) to go out and bring "civilization" to other countries, mostly because white man's burden was just sort of accepted as a means of basically taking over another country's infrastructure without the rest of the world raising a big stink and forcing you to stop. This of course led to a large amount of repression and general unpleasantness and was considered by the portions of east Asia not named Japan to be a solid dick move. This has led to a situation where, due to Japan's government having total control over textbook selection for schools, (something that is totally not okay in literally every other western country besides Japan) Japanese students are often left with a great big hole in their history education in regards to roughly the 80 years prior to WWII as well as the war and reconstruction after. I am not exaggerating, I can't remember if it was the current history textbook for high school students or the last version but World War II was literally summarized in less than five paragraphs. With no other information required as part of the curriculum. I have a friend who teaches English in Japan and he has actually met students who believed Pearl Harbor happened in response to the nukes being dropped. Very interesting subject, both ridiculous (a government obsessed with covering-up past errors to avoid the embarrassment) and quite enlightening (imperial Japan looks quite different when you look at it as a student to the preexisting methods of colonization)  They're both better off than say, Poland, which is pretty damn white. The thing people fail to understand is that it's not like the white people are superior, it's that European ideals led to the industrial revolution and colonialization. The problem is that most Asian countries were too proud to accept western ideals, and the African nations too proud and too poor. I'm not a weeb or anything but I have the utmost respect of Japan for modernizing itself as fast as it did only about a century and a half ago, and it's now the 3rd wealthiest nation on the planet. #52 -

anon (11/25/2015) [-] Hunter gatherers have the lowest suicide rates in the world. So eh..... Good theory you had there #20 -
Bacabed (11/25/2015) [-] Iirc, the suicide difference is mostly due to cultural differences and not indicative of the nation being a shithole. From what I understand, they're less open to asking for help with issues that might lead to suicide and there's less of a stigma regarding suicide than in America. #50 -
internetnick (11/25/2015) [-] But couldn't that be seen as a failure? The only way to build a society as amazing as theirs is to basically have too much expected of you, while you have no support system. #53 -
Bacabed (11/25/2015) [-] I mean it depends on what you're classifying as a failure. Since the OP referenced violent and impoverished nations I'd argue that Japan isn't a failure, against that metric. Does it have it's problems, yeah but so does every country. If we want to include everything then every nation has failed in some way, but the OP was going after specific nations so I think it's safe to assume the discussion should regard its failures and how other nations compare to it.  It's still doing pretty well all in all. America has way more violence than japan, japan has higher productivity per citizen and better physical health, but they have worse overall mental health and personal satisfaction. They're both doing significantly better than most islamic nations or the countries in central asia, and there are things to learn from both of their policies. gonna need some legit sources for the whole "higher productivity" thing there bud. also, japan has a fuck ton of violence, dont even try to deny that, perhaps american slightly more, but japan has no gun rights and i think that contributes to a large portion of their violence. #48 -
