Totally agree to this and armchair historian

if regenerative braking does half the job, only half of the heat is generated by the mechanical brakes, and half the cooling is required.

> Evs also have brakes. They just have 2 sets. Motors and brakes.

while this is true, because of regenerative braking, the hydralic/mechanical brakes aren't at as much risk for overheating and therefore do not have the same cooling requirements.

as with everything else, optimization of cooling versus aerodynamics is required. and with electric vehicles and regenerative braking, aerodynamics can be prioritized more than with your typical ICE sportscar, where braking performance and cooling is prioritized.

The combination of charger and phone may not be able to communicate so no, you can’t just use any. For example Older iPhones will not be able to take an iPad charger. Check before you use. Having said that a lot of chargers and phones in recent years are more tolerant. There’s an optimal charging watts/voltage for each device. If you’re not sure, less watts is better so you don’t damage it. It’ll be slower but safer. A lot of smartphones are very similar now though, and are tolerant of the supply - usually 0.5A/2.5W/5V I believe

Sometimes the ritual books are in a code or cipher that is only known to the members.

From what I understand, WWI was a big transition point for military theory. The kind of modern combined arms warfare you see in WW2 and beyond (the close coordination between artillery, armor, air assets, etc. Think of German blitzkrieg) wasn’t really developed yet. In the late 19th to early 20th century you see the emergence of new technologies like smokeless powder, breech loading rifles, machine guns, better artillery, and more, but many of the commanders of WWI had their military education of the previous age of warfare, where massed infantry and use of horse cavalry carried the day. So while more modern weapons were being developed, the knowledge of how to use them wasn’t caught up. Also perhaps the commanders didn’t comprehend just how devastating machine guns and artillery could be

The French military at the time had a belief called elan vital which meant that the individual fighting spirt of the soldier was more important than the weapon itself. So lots of early battles the French had massive casualties in such frontal charges for little gain because of this belief in fighting spirit. The British had like 60k casualties in a single day at the Battle of the Somme.

There were innovative officers (ex: US general Patton of WWII fame fought in WWI), but there were also really stubborn commanders (the Italian Luigi Cadorna, who fought no less than 12 battles at the Isonzo River)

So yes there was a lot of “going over the top” as you see in movies, but there was a lot of innovation happening as well. Read about the German Sturmtruppen or the Italian Arditi, who were renowned fighters with unique tactics. So an oversimplification is that WWI saw a lot of archaic tactics and beliefs used, but it also helped give birth to modern warfare.

The military history WWI is fascinating. I hope others can add their knowledge to this comment as well, mine is kind of a scattershot of ideas. Indy Neidell has a fantastic channel called The Great War where they covered WWI week by week in real time over four years.

Unrelated question: I have a relative who passed away but had several books about Freemason ceremonies and activities. We don’t know the language that the book was written in. Is there a resource we could find to translate?

I see an actual Freemason already replied, so I'll just emphasize that basically anything that involves being explicitly sworn to secrecy will tend to acquire a reputation. People with a sensitive job in the military or intelligence circles could have the most boring day-to-day workflow imaginable but the fact they can't talk about it still makes people wonder.

Who can become freemason?

Closest I can get is:

"Infinity is only a figure of speech, meaning a limit to which certain ratios may approach as closely as desired, when others are permitted to increase indefinitely."

So you dont build stuff?

You dont have to believe in god. From what i understand you need to believe in a "higher power". That could literally be universal physics.

Fast chargers talk to the device its charging to see what it's capable of accepting and will only supply what the device is capable of.

It's usually after Forhere.

If one side wanted to attack the other, the better option would have been to go around the flank of the other's entrenched position. But the trenchworks had been extended from the sea coast to Switzerland. So....

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you

All about equality but no women allowed?

In short infinity means never ending/continuous/forever and the infinity symbol depicts that meaning by a never ending loop cycle
