go to sleep, tatsu ... go to sleep. 30+ hours no sleep is no good.

Hangul is REALLY easy. Took me two hours to learn to read and write.
It even has some letters like 'ä' which is great. Just missing that R and L is kinda, gah.

That horrible fuel efficiency. Two people plus some 50kg or so of luggage for 5-8 liters per hundred kilometer, ugh. Even old cars manage 10 liters, 5 person + 200-300 kilos of luggage. New diesels do that with 6-7.
Similarly new cars go for 4-6 liters empty and the motorcycles do 4-8 depending on the speed. Aerodynamics are pretty shit in comparison between bikes and cars.

But the SPEEEEEEEEEED. That one G acceleration from a 150 kW hypersport.

Then

and you're like

Indeed the speed, and slipping through traffic like nobody's business. Fuel efficiency is still better than a car provided you're only transporting yourself, I find. If you start adding luggage and people and whatnot the efficiency drops off really fast.

Something like 5-800cc two cylinder dualsport is a pretty nimble and all around awesome bike for general transporting of oneself and little luggage or the odd passenger every now and then. They get around 3-4 liters per 100km. Also makes those roads that are not in perfect condition a pleasure to drive too. Buuut those are worse off than cars in acceleration and speed.

What the hell, did I just see Dirty Pair fail a mission?
Not blow up the planet or accidentally massacre a couple million civilians but actually fail their objective?

* Mistgun gives JoonasTo's bike to Tatsu. Feel free to use this from tomorrow onwards. Now stop sleeping, and go for a round on the bike!!

Yay for bikes. After getting used to bikes, driving a car feels restricting. The openness, speed and flexibility is unmatched.

Gave my M. Tech entrance exam two days before. The experience was.....terrifying. The competition was more than I could ever except. More than half were my seniors. Two of my junior teachers (out of 3) were also giving the exam. And there was on 45~ year old man too (he was impressive. finished his paper in 45 minutes. 2 hours was the time limit). I would say only 10% were appearing for the first time for that exam. Guuuuhhh. Scarryy.

I was a little kitten surrounded by a pack of hungry wolf's waiting to tear me to shreds. :shivers:

And yet most people in any MTech course are 1 year out of college at the most.

Sounds like it was intense.

What's an mtech?

Mistgun_Zero · « **Reply #4634 on:** July 29, 2013, 03:12:54 AM »

Master of Technology.

megido-rev.M · « **Reply #4635 on:** July 29, 2013, 03:14:43 AM »

What an ambitious-sounding course name.

NekoMaster · « **Reply #4636 on:** July 29, 2013, 03:44:30 AM »

Oh I see its like engineering.

megido-rev.M · « **Reply #4637 on:** July 29, 2013, 04:14:47 AM »

I'm guessing it is engineering, just what discipline (or all of them).

froody1911 · « **Reply #4638 on:** July 29, 2013, 06:15:02 AM »

It's a masters degree in any one discipline of engineering. It's basically the Indian subcontinent's equivalent of ME.
