Many cars have this with the touch screen, sport mode, eco mode, etc. Some will even learn from your driving behaviour and calibrate to that.

The change is functionally instant, and when the original post talked about mapping it’s really a bunch of graphs and curves that dictate behaviour over the full range of rpm of the engine. You can switch maps on the fly by loading different basically spread sheets into the computer. Factory cars are calibrated for general use and epa standards, but you could make all kinds of special settings for various conditions.

My knowledge of this is dated, haven’t been in the industry since 2000, but the basics haven’t changed.

Older Porsches had a physical button on the floor under the gas pedal that you’d trigger when you floored it, putting it in spaz mode.

The truth is, how you drive has a bigger impact on fuel efficiency than anything else, don’t accelerate aggressively, and stay below 65 mph. Wind drag above 50 mph is by far the greatest impact on fuel efficiency. Internal combustion engines are generally most efficient between 1800 and 2500 rpm, so if you keep your cruising speed there you’ll get the longest range on road trips, but obviously it’ll take that much longer.

It can’t do both at the same time.

By remapping I assume you mean changing the ECU (engine control unit) programming.

Depending on what all it controls, usually fuel injectors and ignition, and what it reads, air pressure, rpm, oxygen, throttle input, the mapping adjusts timing of ignition, and how much fuel is injected based on how fast the engine is spinning, and where the throttle is set.

Most cars from the factory have a very simple mapping based around what most drivers do.

A fancy prototype CRX I had back in the 90s had very custom mapping that meant when I drove mellow, it got about 45 mpg, but had very slow acceleration. If I pushed the throttle past a certian point, it spun up like a bat out of hell, but the fuel economy would plummet.

What you can do with custom mapping is change the way the engine behaves under various conditions and based on the inputs. There is no magic get more out of the engine. Want more power? Eat more fuel and lose economy, and likely not burn off all the fuel so more dirty exhaust. Want more range? Limit power and lose acceleration.

Have had my S8 galaxy since release, and now various apps won’t work on the OS. I’m being forced into buying a new phone at this point.

I’ve gotten it in two flavors.

One is people who are so convinced that life has no meaning without children they feel like they are saving you by pressuring you to have kids.

The other, and far more angry, seem to have had kids because they thought they had too, or had a “happy accident”, and aren’t actually happy about. They see you as the life they could have had.

Mass Effect and Dark Souls are my favorites when it comes to gaming.

If you don’t feel it, don’t do it. Some injuries don’t heal right, and many of the hobbies I enjoy have a pretty damned high risk factor. Almost every single time I’ve had a serious injury, that little voice was telling me “This one might not end well”, and I went for it anyway.

I could have walked away, called it a day, and come back another time. It wasn’t a contest, I was just out filming a few tricks for my “You’re turning 40 and still doing it” video. Didn’t stretch, didn’t warm up, and my over enthusiastic filmer was all “Try this, do that”. Ended up collapsing my knee and fully tearing my MCL.

Between that and a few neck and back fractures over the years, my mobility and flexibility are pretty well shot. There are things I just can’t do anymore.

Sure I still skate, and am amazed just how much I can still get away with, but now every minute on the board includes a constant “Is this safe? Is this worth it?” chant.

The two consessions I’ve made are Teams, and the MFA software.

I am often running around to various sites and being able to use a quick chat is better than pulling out my laptop, and I turn it off when I’m off the clock.

One thing that is often over looked is proper monitor height. You can’t have good posture if your monitor is too low.

I’ll admit, I’m not deep enough of a lore whore to pick out the retcons.

This is the futherest in the future as far as timeline goes, so watch the show to see who controls the region now and what happened to said faction.

I caught it very early, before the vaccine, and the only symptom I didn’t get was having such a hard time breathing as to require a hospital.

I sat alone, at home, in my lazy boy, and suffered. Like others have said, lots of fluid and lots of sleep were the only things that helped. I can’t think of another time in my life I slept that much.

Two of my brothers who had it both failed to recognize or acknowledge they had it, and both had bad falls, one breaking his arm, and the other requiring stitches in his scalp. Be very aware when walking around for signs of fatigue or light headedness.

There are a lot of both dark themes and on screen deaths and violence, many of which are pretty graphic.

Fallout as a franchise is well known for some pretty horrific elements, often painted over with bright colors and upbeat music, but horrific all the same.

If Game of Thrones or The Boys were too much for you, then Fallout certianly is.

That said, it is an absolutely brilliant and faithful adaptation of the source material, and as a long time fan of the games, I loved every minute of it.

That is still one of the most surreal moments to come out of that whole mess.

I just don’t understand how it was allowed to play out. At some point, someone had to decide that going ahead with it was more important than waiting a day and finding a suitable location.

For the life of me I can’t remember what the press conference was about, only the screw up.

I love my job, I really do, but I wouldn’t do it as a hobby. I don’t think it’s so much advice about making your hobbies a career, as it is about finding work you enjoy.

Video games, skateboarding, riding a motorcycle, all things I love, but no way I’d try to make a living at any of them.

They are looking for a reaction, and if they get one from me, I give them a mental thumbs up.

If it’s just being a dick to be a dick, I ignore it and go on with my day.

What I absolutely never do is engage.

We have a lot of great skateparks, but I’ve always wanted to try a pump track.

Only ones I can find in the midwest are dirt for BMX.

They used to do it at Warren Dunes in south west Michigan right on the lake.

I wore skate shoes to get the injuries, and I wear them to walk comfortably now.

I think it’s got to be for some ride at an amusement park, I can’t of anywhere else I’ve willingly waited in line over 3 hours for something.

I knew there was something I forgot to do

Oh sure, he was waiting for us at the bottom. We just couldn’t see him from up top.

Cliff ended up being about a 20 foot drop into deep free powder snow on like a 40 degree slope. Could have gone off head first and would have been fine.

We didnt know it but you could just hike right back up around the side, ended up doing it like five more times till we were exhausted.
