5·25 days agoThe Wilcot solution was adopted by Morris for the 1933 range, except the cheapest car in the range, the Minor. In essence, on either side of the car, was a block of three lights looking very like a traffic light with red, amber and green elements. The idea was that the colour or combination of the colours, showing on one or both sides would guide adjacent traffic of the intentions of the Morris.
Combinations were more complex, inevitably, than just flashing orange lights. Ahead of a need to indicate, the driver would activate the system which would start with both left and right amber lights flashing, like modern hazard warning lights, meaning “Caution”, ahead of an indication being given.
The system was controlled by a knob inside the car, with a spring based plunger acting as a time control for any selection. To indicate turning right, the driver would then request the system to show red on the right and green on the left in a way that almost echoes nautical practice; bearing right was amber on the right and green on the left.

Morris threw a tantrum after the MoT approved the use of blinkers on rival Ford cars and vowed never to install them. The MoT ordered the Wicot “traffic robots” removed and so Lucas trafficators were used exclusively in the UK until Morris was sold to Pressed Metal Holdings in the 1950s (in Australia and Canada blinkers were required by law).
The thousands of unusable traffic robots were used in the foundation for a new factory in Cowley. Also used were used brake pads and used sump oil to keep the dust down.

Why bother learning anything when you can get the answer in a fraction of a second ?
$100 billion and the electricity consumption of France seems a tad pricey to save a few minutes looking in a book…
You don’t need AI to do that…

Because its garbage :
All of those things are garbage and don’t work, they just drive you nuts until you turn them off.
The goal is to protect the oil industry.
There’s also a $250 a year tax on EVs. I’m not sure that’s even constitutional though, because I thought only states could levy taxes on land.
or…just look at the tyres ?
You just check it with your finger. Then you use a container with a tube and squeeze the fluid in until it overflows.
If you can’t check the oil, you can’t complain to the dealer can you ? Once the warranty’s over good luck proving anything.
They’re not that dumb.
This is why it was removed from auto transmissions, people would overfill their transmissions and it would froth up and burn out the clutches.
It still has oil in the transmission. And yes, you are supposed to change it occasionally because its high slip friction oil that burns over time.
Most of the Iphone is not Chinese, the screens are made by Samsung in Korea, and the chips are from Taiwan. Only the fiddly final assembly is done in China.
Why do you need to learn reams of facts when you can get an answer in the fraction of a second ? Seems pointless anyway.
Essays and projects were of marginal educational value in grade school and won’t be missed. They were always just a cop out for lazy teachers.
Until the 1990s, 100% of the university grade was based on examinations, so AI would have been irrelevant, that was watered down to save costs.
Technically a Pi is a single chip computer but they’re called an SBC because they replaced stuff like a Motorola 68HC11.
