        ~99% of horses are 1 horsepower, there’s just one horse from Nevada who was locked in a barn during those nuclear tests in the 50’s putting the others to shame.

          It’s a really strong lock. It has to be.

        I mean… Technically, you can blame anything you want for anything.

            • Obama got elected in 2008
            • the common abbreviation for the year 08
            • Obama is the first black President
            • 08 - 1 = 7
            • average horse has 7 horsepower

      in some European countries we have a special kind of horsepower that’s called the “tax horsepower” (cheval fiscal, symbol CV in France), or “what kind of eldritch formula do we need to transform that unit into a vehicle classification tool for tax purposes”.

      We’ve had several formulas, and the current one has come around to being kind of an actual (rounded) power unit. Previous ones involved carbon dioxide levels, gearbox efficiency and whether you’re using gasoline or diesel.

      So if I am applying one of those, I believe a horse has exactly NaN CV.
