    The reliability of the PDK when considering the complexity is amazing. 83k on my 981 with no problems. I change half the PDK fluid every year as a preventive measure. The transmission is simply sublime for its speed, and its flexibility. Porsche is an amazing engineering company that makes the best cars in the world, with all parameters considered imho.

      We use a prime number to generate our numbers space because otherwise, the numbers modulo would not form a field; it would only create a ring, meaning the multiplicative inverse would not be unique/ be defined. I am unsure what you mean by "uneven distribution of items into slots," but perhaps I misunderstood. :)

      @@RobotDCLXVI I once read something worth pondering. For years the Government had a science program underway called SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence). The radio telescopes were constantly scanning the universe attempting to pick up any signal that was not just random noise. The computers had algorithms that would detect normal random radio waves from those that were sourced from an intelligent distant life form, which so far, they have never detected. But the interesting thing is that when those same sophisticated computer algorithms were pointed towards the DNA molecule the answer that the computer generated was that the data of DNA was sourced from an intelligent being. I think that is fascinating.

    In the first stages of viewing this video so far, it seems like an excellent presentation. Thumbs up from a 7-speed manual owner in my 991.1 GTS. Looking at those valves and how new components shed material, I would tend to change my PDK fluid far more often than the recommended interval, but that is just me. The wet clutch is exactly how motorcycle clutches work, but they are manually activated. By the way, the 7-speed manual transmissions has just as few parts available.
