I grew up poor in a poor area of the country. I also moved around a lot. I went to public schools throughout. While there were certainly a few subpar circumstances in the education system, on the whole, I got a good education, one that equipped me well once I got out of my “young adult with a chip on my shoulder” phase.

What astounds me is that it appears that a vast majority of the country did not receive an education that equipped them for adulthood. That we would even need to consider that we have to lower our standards and write at a 4th grade level. To me it’s like argumentum ad absurdum.

There was a podcast that I listened to recently, where the islanders mentioned that they knew of the white plantation owners progeny as the dumb and lazy ones - resting on their laurels over generations had made them stupid and ill equipped.

So perhaps this is the circle of life, the meek shall inherit the Earth. All I can think is that the system has failed us, or maybe we have failed ourselves. I dunno.

I-is that Levi? Aka “Gothamchess” Rozman?

I know a guy who saw rook A4 when I see one.

I have some engineering concerns.

For one, reducing the turbulence area and increasing the air intake at that angle is going to create a vortex near the intake. This could lead to dangerous cavitation and knocking effects. It likely will require splitting the powertrain into two chambers by an internal membrane. My suggestion is somewhere near the Mason carpetbagger and the Dixon scalawag.

For two, I think that was genius what you’ve done with the reduction of the diffuser, thus minimizing drag. But where, my friend, do you plan to dispose of all the waste products? We don’t want those infecting the rest of the machine, and I think it’s disingenuous to think we can just empty those right out into the environment, particularly when said waste products don’t believe in said environment.
