Also want to add something I saw in the US: light olive oil. It advertised itself as olive oil with a lighter flavor. It was olive oil diluted with vegetable oil, yet sold at a premium.

- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 1 week ago:
It’s not wrong, but what it describes is ethically wrong in my opinion. Raises and promotions are less about work performance and more about performative theatre. Being chummy with management is often a better predictor of upward career trajectory.

Valve float is when the cylinder valves are unable to close completely between cycles, usually due to high RPMs beyond the engine’s design, but possibly due to very high mileage, often well beyond 100-150k miles. This meme refers to the former.
Longer, more detailed explanation:
Internal combustion engines use something called poppet valves to control the flow of fuel and exhaust into and out of an engine cylinder. A poppet valve is generally a disc shaped, tapered plug atop a longer shaft called the valve stem. The stem runs through a stout spring, then through a hole in a disc attached toward the bottom. Valves are opened by being pressed by their stems, popping up toward the cylinder chamber to open whilst compressing their springs, then being released so the spring can push the valve closed again.
If an engine is driven to rotational speeds beyond its design, the springs may not have enough compressive force to fully control the valves. The valves begin to ‘float’, where they can be bounced open, opening too far, then are unable to completely close before being bounced open again. This can cause a number of issues. In high performance engines, this is prevented by stronger springs along with a stronger, more precise system capable of handling the force required to open them.
The meme is describing someone presumably driving a shitbox car pushed well past its limits to ourperform a high performance vehicle. It’s definitely an exaggeration as most vehicles would break well before producing that much force.

The same way I view the location of most anime being in Japan. It’s just typical of the genre.

It’s about 48% successful on average. Individual success rates vary based on age, reason for using IVF, health and age of the mother, and the number of retrievals.
For a moderately healthy person in their early thirties, one retrieval provides about a 56% success, and three retrievals a 86% success rate.

The penis and scrotum are encased in a thin layer of smooth muscle called the dartos fascia. It’s what causes the foreskin to close at end and the scrotum to wrinkle up when cold instead of just hanging like an empty sack when the testicles retract for warmth.
