"Non-exhaust emissions (NEE) are particles released into the air from brake wear, tyre wear, road surface wear and resuspension of road dust during on-road vehicle usage."


Roads are filthy. Cody's Lab once did a video where he collected road dust from the side of a highway, and refined out all the precious metals from it. That's from one small section of highway, just imagine the scale of the pollution across the whole of the states. Concrete dust, rubber, metals, fuel, oil. Cars and car infrastructure is dirty business.

If one are outside near any mountainous road here in Northern California, motor vehicles pass by with the odor of brake pad + brake disc (mostly brake pad?) near the bottom with a very strong, distinctive bitter sweet metallic odor and that's probably a tiny proportion of the material.


I thought steam only supports ubuntu and therefore games only support ubuntu. That being said, I use arch and most games just work.


Rocket League isn't available on Steam (anymore). Epic does not technically support Linux outside of Android.


Rocket League is not (yet) available on the Epic Games Store, and has not been removed from Steam.


60 fps@1440p with gtx 1060 on linux, can't remember if it was limited to 60 fps, but that was good enough for me. Never tried in windows.


Atleast I got dlc refunded. I had to make manual refund ticket, automatic one was rejected because I had few hundred hours of game time.


It's strange to me that they could support linux and mac back when they were smaller, but now that epic owns them and rl generates 50M(?) per year, they can't.


Maybe if the cost of supporting Linux and Mac weren't so great they wouldn't have needed to sell to Epic in the first place. /s


I dont think so. I purchased keys and those were not refunded.


Isnt left lane for overtaking usually? Just speed up a bit and merge to right. And safe driving style (keep your distance) would save you from falling stuff much better than car that does 0-60 in 4 seconds.


Ok, fine, let me tune my example to be a bit more specific. You are not in the leftmost lane, you are in the middle one, but there is someone directly to the left of you, so you cannot safely swerve to the left.


"in cases where you have to perform a safety maneuver or evade something."

BTW having 0-60 in 3 seconds helps you keep a safe driving distance.


What does air pods mean? I guess they are bluetooth headphones, but what are the specs, do they work with non-apple hardware/software? I would have to search for that info, so its just the same if they were called AIR IPX7 T10.


> I guess they are bluetooth headphones, but what are the specs, do they work with non-apple hardware/software?

To most buyers, they don't need to search for anything. It's an Apple product that works with their other Apple products because of course it does.


I'm beginner programmer and even the early puzzles seem very hard, but after some thought you get correct answers and then you can check from youtube how real programmers do it.


If you wanted to use that little piece of code, wouldn't it be better if it was open source? I remember when you could only get exe and projects didnt even think of sharing the code, even if it was just some small project.


If it is a library, I will prefer an open source one, but if it is some software, I don't mind even when it is closed source.
