          ~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.

        They are clearly stable strain beast men, so it’s closer to indentured servitude. So slavery with extra steps.

              If they’re content to post to their own comm, leave them be. At worse you’ll make them abandon it and start posting elsewhere again.

      new cars on czech market, prices in gbp equivalent

      • dacia sandero: ~12150
      • hyundai i10: ~12600
      • skoda fabia: ~13000
      • kia ceed: ~13600

      you can’t expect luxury limousine for that price, but that doesn’t mean there are no cars in that segment.

    They bought more of an amalgam, or a chimera, which is a different kind of mythological beast, but also a general term for part of one thing joined to a very different other thing.

    A hybrid would be something like a mule: A cross between a male donkey and a female horse
