Are you joking? How does a rev counter make the average driver use the engine effectively/. Most ignore it. It is pretty well useless.
99% of driver know when to change gear by the sounds and feel of the engine. I know no one who looks at a rev counters. Also this is distracting, taking the drivers eyes from the road.
LOL, such fun.
I did. Thankfully not one of those snotty uni ones, full of half-breds.
Actually, I found one use for it.
I was driving my old XJS up to workshire with my daer old whte haired mum in teh passeneger seat.
She glanced across at teh rev counter and said 'are we doing 50 mph dear?' as she looked at the tacho on the 5000 RPM mark.
I will leave you to work out what 5,000RPM in top gear on an XJS was, in terms of road speed :-)

Tritium isn't all that bad. Its half life of about 12 years is short compared to millenia for fission waste. Tritium is a beta emitter with
18keV electron decay and there is quite a market in tritiated plastics for permanent glow in the dark (and still some requirement for H-bomb initiators). Emergency lighting in some applications is based on it.You have to get the whole life cycle right though. And they still haven't an adequate solution for long term storage of high level waste.

Must have been the university of life. But not as we know it.
Perhaps, he didn't go to school. These aren't concepts taught at university, they used to be taught to 15 year olds at school in the nineteen fifties
