      Kites have utilized fly by wire technology for centuries already.

              And shoes. Although, wireless technology is getting popular.

            One is a wire, one is a cable. One transmits electric energy, one transmits kinetic energy.

                Both are technically cables though. One, a power cable, the other a steel cable.

                We don’t say “injection by wire” or “fuel by wire” though, we call it Electronic Fuel Injection.

                    Throttle by wire.

                    The fuel is never really actively controlled by the user, more by its relation to the amount of air going into the intake.

                    Drive by wire uaually refers to steering though the official definition is more broad.

                    A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

                    Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

                    • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
                    • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
                    • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

                    Rules

                    1. All posts must be showerthoughts
                    2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
                    3. No politics
                      • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
                      • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
                    4. Posts must be original/unique
                    5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

                    If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

                    Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
