    They’re two separate things. That’s the idea, a clutch is a disconnect between the engine and transmission.

    A really good driver only uses the clutch to start and stop.

    Anyway, another of my comments got removed without explanation, I’ll just see myself out of this misinfo echo chamber that can’t understand why people don’t post here.

    I had great hopes for the fediverse idea, but the same human greed issues, like mastodon selling iut to Meta, and zealous moderation, like whatever happened to my comment and another one before that complaing about the Mudrocks and Musk.

    Bon chance, fedi.





  • Raymond Chandler’s novels, esp The Lady in the Lake

    The Pirx the Pilot stories, 8 in 2 volumes

    Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon and The Glass Key

    2nd the Hitchhiker’s Guide and they’re easy to rejoin

    A A Fair’s novels are short and have odd western us lore in them, one has a great way to bet in Vegas, others name spots in Mexico, they were Gardner’s fun books that he liked to write more than other series.
