Music Music and Mood: The Science Behind How Different Genres Affect Our Emotions
I always find myself focusing on lyrics to many songs. So I tend to listen to instrumental music such as Explosions in the Sky. I have made a habit of getting a study room and practicing my Math on a chalkboard while listening to them.- Leshok

On a lifelong search for the best writing utensils
I have always used the Pilot Precise V5 Extra Fine Rolling Ball pens. I have always taken notes and solved problems in multipliable colors. Although it is not the colors I like about the pens, it is the feel the Extra Fine point has on paper. HTH- Leshok

The perfect engine will have a piston that never makes contact with the cylinder wall. The only...- Leshok

Can drilling holes in piston rings improve sealing pressure in race engines?
The material is not the only reason why gas ports are used. The gas ports are also used to seal a very low tension ring at high piston speeds. Is this suggesting polishing the piston crown or piston face? If piston face, I would have to disagree here. Forcing carbon to tightly bond with the...- Leshok
