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.

Try driving an 18-speed truck transmission without the clutch.

Who’s stupid?

And it flows into Chesapeake bay after passing by Peach Bottom nuke plant, where unannounced inspections have revealed everyone sleeping.

At one time, farmers used to grow popcorn on 3MI. Post-incident, pets were born with deformities on the York County side, harder to tell with the humans there.

We won’t go into the time I drove into Indian Point during the day and found no one in attendance. No guards, gates open, etc.

I drove all over the plant. Took a while to find anyone, and that person was annoyed at my needing to make a delivery, but there was no one at the dock.

I’m not on either side, but if you read an article about nukes, someone paid for it, pro or con.

It’s not that simple.

Lemmy needs a Glassfloor sub.
