Why is it ok to rev a race car from cold to heat it up but not a normal car?
If you're talking about an F1 car they're pre-heated by having hot water plumbed through them before start up. Also race engines are usually rebuilt far more often than road car engines.Jonboy_t said:
How do they do sound checks at place like Glastonbury or reading festivals? The big acts just rock up, do their thing and ps off, so how do they get all the levels bang on without the actual act being there?
I just read an article on performing at Glastonbury which mentions they have a team of sound specialists that will generally try to set levels and so on during the first song, because the only act that could really do a sound check is the first one on. The gaps between acts are quite short, so the gear for the second band is normally set up on wheeled trolleys ready to push out, multiple sound desks so one can be set up ready for the act, and so on. A bit old but quite interesting. http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/feb09/articl...Speed 3 said:
Why do various non-UK peoples take personal phone calls on their mobile via loudspeaker ? They often face the handset as though they're video calling but more often than not its audio only. Is it for cultural or technical reasons ?
If its on speaker the logical thing to do would be to face the phone so that your voice is projected towards the mic.As to why its popular outside the UK, I don't know!

Why do so many actors and comedians have strong Left leaning political views? Is there ever going to be a smug, self gratifying satire show based around Right of centre viewpoints?
I'd imagine it's because the BBC are pushing those ones on the mainstream viewer. 98elise said:
