Putting diesel in a gasoline piston engine would also have very bad effects... That would not be an engine that would start, and would need a lot of repairs to ever be started.
The thread was not about flying in extremely cold conditions, so who really cares?
I could be wrong, but I do not believe there are any planes that use diesel fuel at all. The two are not connected.
But OK, why don't you be specific. What is the gel point of winter diesel? Was I wrong about what I said it was?
Actually, I didn't drop out. I am still technically in it, just have been on hiatus for 14 years. I had kids, and had to do a lot of work. The school says they will take me back if I want to return. In fact, I recently wrote a research paper that is probably going to pass peer review (fingers crossed), and that has got the school calling to try to get me back.
Sure, Walter...sure.
My Son-in-Law just completed his E-Con PhD. and one of the students couldn’t defend his dissertation.
He was told that he would have to start the program all over.
Is your “school” headquartered in the back of a 1949 Ford P/U truck?
Starting the classes over would make no sense. I am sure they did not do that. Allowing him to start the dissertation over from scratch would be amazingly gene
No. I doubt they would give me a second shot at a dissertation if I failed to defend it the first time. That being said, they would love to get me to do research for them for almost no pay.
Perhaps they were just trying to motivate him.
My seven siblings all have degrees from Vandy. No PhD’s but several Masters.
Mine was not a legacy appointment, being the oldest.
PHD program is not preschool. You either have motivation, or you do not. They will not try to motivate you.
OK, you are claiming that the school paid for him for a couple of years, he accomplished nothing, and then they offered to pay for him for a couple of years more, to "motivate" him to accomplish something? I know we call graduate students "slave labor" but they really do cost money. They need to be delivering something to justify that major expense.
You said "E-con", which I assume is a misspelling of econ. If I am wrong, I am sorry. Econ is highly competitive for both the students and the schools. Even after the PHD, it is extremely hard. Having a student repeatedly badly failing would destroy a school's reputation.
I think your use of "if" is a mistake, but it really does apply here. If it happens, it happens. I am a survivor, from a long line of survivors. If the alt right messes things up, I will just have to survive.
No, Walter, I am not claiming that “the school paid for him for a couple of years...”
Where do you keep your supply of straw-men?
“My Son-in-Law just completed his E-Con PhD. and one of the students couldn’t defend his dissertation.”
It was Health Economics.
You are avoiding my question about the thrashing, Walter.
Usually, the school pays for the PHD, and the student does research and teaches for the school. If the student is failing to deliver good work, having him do more is not a reasonable decision.
Why are you belaboring this point, Walter?
I know this because my Son-in-Law has been doing research, tons of it and teaches and has a PhD related job that is a requirement.
What still blows my mind about Economics, and other similar fields is that they have unpaid internships. In Computer Engineering, most internships pay in the neighborhood of $1k to $4k a week. In Economics, they expect an intern to work a 90 hour week, and be paid nothing.
BUT IT GETS WORSE!!!
Many internships cost money. You have to pay for the school credits. Think of that, you are paying money to work 90 hours a week...
They always seemed grateful for the PHD stipend. For us, it was a joke amount of money, but for them the same amount of money was real money.
A friend of ours from Jamaica is in Med School and was barely surviving on a stipend before Med. School. We loaned him our second car many times and fed him often.
He is at Johns Hopkins now. Doing well, he tutored my daughter in Pre-Med.

Sweet, its old tech, and I do not know why it took until now to mass produce. I am sure there is a story there.
I hope VW does not sit on the patent.

VW have had a new fuel cell developed which is based on ceramic technology, it is destined to become a real game changer.
