Crank up the heat and put me under full body pressure, cuz I'm about to blow. π
for those who do not get it, this is a reference to the ideal gas law pV = nRT the fact that at constant pressure and temperature the same number of gas molecules (ideal gas) will take the same Volume.
Thanks, I immediately recognized it as a formula but couldn't remember what it was for (in my defense, the last time it was relevant to me was about 15 years ago when I studied electrical engineering).
Soooo... fill with premium?
Definitely, that thing's supercharged, so more pressure = more heat = more knocking
Are there even any states that allow an = ? I bet they drew that on with sharpie
You can have non-alphanumeric characters on license plates? What do the cops do if they need to catch you? Do they put out an APB for emoticons?
'); DROP TABLE Tickets;--
Like the guy with the NULL plate who got all the tickets for which no number could be found.
Truly a tragic tale.
This username means you also get "mentioned" a lot in big chatrooms where people post code/logs
Honestly, as annoying as that'd probably be, it'd also be great. You could likely argue any ticket was a mistake.
I read an article once about a guy who got a NO PLATE licence plate and ended up being automatically blamed whenever a cop wrote in that a car had no licence plate. I wonder what 0X00000 would do.
NULL too.
I think that's what I was actually thinking of but I mixed it up.
They both seem equally plausible. "NO PLATE" would be officers writing it in, and if they left it blank the computer would turn it into NULL.
I bet "BLANK" could cause similar issues
Little Bobby Tables got his driver's license.
Use the cyrillic letter Π on your licence plate instead of the latin letter A. All your speeding tickets would be mailed to someone else
It seems that everybody who doesn't know Cyrillic thinks that Π is the Cyrillic A...
They already consider similar looking letters as the same. If someone has the license plate "OOPS" , if you try and register "00P5" it will say it's taken.
Meanwhile, the guy in ~~the slave labor camp~~ prison making your license plate: "Alright, thats an A, I'll key in an A here"
You do know the cyrillic A is just Π(serbian) or Π(russian)??
Or the π °οΈ emoji
I don't think you can? But, you can use a space and add an equal sign sticker instead
Are stickers allowed?
It might depend on the state, but I think anything other than registration stickers in the designated spot could count as a defaced license plate
Ideal *Gas car
Which is, of course, fundamentally unideal if not antiquated.
Yeah the Ideal Gas Formula is cool but what about the Ideal Electric?
P = IV
Would be even better if the capitalization was correct. Always bugs me when people capitalize units wrong, but in this case it might have been mandatory.
Have you ever in life seen lower case on a license plate? From any country?
I have never seen an equal sign on any licence plate or road sign. What is your point? I already mentioned that too.
So this person's nickname is pervert, right? My brain just keeps turning it back to pervert lol
You saying this reminded me of my mom's old custom plate she had when she was a nurse. She had XOX PRN, which would mean "hugs and kisses, take as needed" on a prescription. A gas station attendant made a comment about her loving porn once and she ended up getting rid of it.
Fucking nerds think you're so smart. Now excuse me, I need to figure out why my engine is knocking.
Lotus Evora in Alabama? Wat?
If this plate is legit not photoshopped, itβs a strong possibility someone working at NASA MSFC drives it.
Are you only allowed to own certain cars in certain states?
Super rare cars in the poorer states, where nonconformity is treated like cancer?
They don't have big cities in those poor states? No bankers, or lawyers, or CEOs, or car collectors, or construction contractors? Only the conformation police apparently....
This picture is shopped!!
In computer geek world, pv can stand for physical volume which is used in maybe something like LVM for Linux platforms. TMYK
I thought you were going to say Photovoltaic cells (solar panels)
Pancho Villa, don't chicken out
Runs on neon or argon
