One engineering blackpill I had to swallow when getting into industry is the finite nature of lubricants- you WILL leak lubricant, you MUST have it, and you CANNOT design things any other way sometimes or your shit will Explode

Every time there’s a Obama deepstate CIA false flag disaster conspiracy, the report comes out 2 years later and it’s always like “The accident was caused by insufficient lubricating oil” which sounds way too dumb except the reasons are complex and too much for them to learn about

No joke, today's frozen food discourse may actually improve my life, I've been too hesitant to buy frozen meals as a middle ground between cooking from scratch/eating snack-type foods/going out (never Doordash, though). Made it actually "click" for me that restaurant food is froz

For the unknowledgeable: moving metal gets hot, hot metal melts/warps/goes Kaboom especially under pressure. Lubricants dissipate heat and also remove dust/metal shavings etc that would cause extra friction, etc etc You can actively cool lubricant but it will still leak

While I have you here- did you know that tires & brake dust make up a ton of microplastic pollution in our environment? You can't lubricate against that, and EVs won't solve it either- in fact they'll make it worse as they're heavier. We need public transit in a big way

Simplest case: imagine a motor in a box turning a shaft that sticks outside the box. Motor needs to be bathed in oil to stay cool. Where the shaft sticks out- there's no permanent way to seal that gap in a way that lets the shaft turn freely
