~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.
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.
Fun fact: On average, horses have 7 horsepower.
Can I blame inflation for this?

It’s a really strong lock. It has to be.
Well it’s better than ~99% of locks now.
I mean… Technically, you can blame anything you want for anything.
Okay i’m going to need some help figuring out how to blame Obama for this though. I already got the cork boards and yarn ready

Jeeniouus!
