Office life at 550+ lbs Part 2

Word Count: 1050

Gender neutral POV, mobility issues, extreme obesity, stuffing, feedee perspective

Part 1

As soon as you reached your car you felt like you were gonna pass out from exhaustion. You can't remember the last time you needed to do that much activity in one shot. Gripping your meaty fingers around the door handle you swing it open and practically collapse into the driver's seat. The chassis of your car groaning loudly with the sudden burden. One leg on the ground, the other barely inside the car, and leaning back onto the center console you huffed and puffed. Trying to pull enough air into your lungs so that you don't pass out, the reality of your situation finally sets in.

You were filling the space completely. With your hips and love handles compressed between the driver's seat and the steering wheel, pushing your belly slightly higher but still pooling around you and filling all available space. Your heaving chest resting against your throat, forcing your breaths to be haggard and loud, you can hear the cars suspension creek with every rise and fall of your lard ladened gut. Your legs were burning and your joints were crying, your body giving you a harsh reminder of why you don't push it this hard. But that didn't matter to you, digging your fingers into the soft and doughy fat of your overhang, you felt elated. Jiggling and massaging the delicious fat you worked so hard to grow, the pleasure and pain your body was experiencing is the same high you've been chasing for over a decade. Almost losing yourself in it and adding even more treats to your mental grocery list you snapped out of it as you heard another car pull in.

With a sudden moment of clarity you remember you're in public and not that far from the front door of your office, "quickly" you begin to reposition yourself. A puffy left hand gripping the steering wheel for leverage you begin to heave yourself up, pulling one leg inside before taking a deep breath, pushing yourself off the passenger seat with your right. Gas rose up from the depths of your gut and you could taste the cherry cola as the burp ruptured out of you. Instinctively your left hand went to your belly as you tried to massage another out of you but to no avail.

Pulling your left leg into the car and wiggling your ass around the seat you were able to slip into position. A whole multiple minute process just to get into the car, you can't help but feel the endorphins rush through you and send shivers down your spine. The thing about getting this morbidly obese and loving it is that everything you do becomes sexual, to you at least, to others they see you struggle with the basics and feel sorry for you, but you? When you closed the car door but needed a second try because you're just so wide that your fat fucking ass gave resistance and you didn't pull hard enough? Your crotch got hotter, the blood that's usually stagnant from a lack of movement was flowing, and you desperately wanted to handle that immediately. And when you remembered that you couldn't even though you wanted to because you lost the ability to reach without toys, you decided to stop at an extra drive thru on the way home.

Pulling out of the parking lot you take one last look at your office, resolutely determined to never see it again. The familiar bumps in the road jostled your body around like waves in a pool, despite the fear for your suspension, you didn't try too hard to avoid potholes on your way to lunch. Once you had placed your order at the drive thru, you were placing your Walmart order online, adding literally anything that looked tasty with no regard to cost. This is a celebration after all, why not splurge a little. Once you arrived at the window you outstretched your fattened saggy arm to grab a grease covered bag of burgers and large soda. You wondered if the drive thru worker had served anyone as fat as you this week. The thought faded as the scent of your meal hit your nose, quickly pulling into the parking lot to devour everything before heading off to a second drive through only to repeat the process again.

Once you arrived home you spent the first few minutes in the driveway just caressing your fattened form, massaging out little hiccups and burps as you do so. With your gut pressing against the steering wheel you wondered how long it would be before getting into the car would be impossible. You didn't need the car now but decided to keep it anyways so you could track your gaining progress in a fun way. You then repeat the process of left leg out, shimmy ass cheeks towards the door, turn, right leg to the edge, and rise for what you hope is the last time for at least a few months. Waddling to your front door you enter your home and kick off your shoes, another thing you hope to abandon.

With a slow but relaxed waddle you enter the kitchen, grabbing a 2 liter, a bag of chips, and a plastic tin of blueberry muffins before heading to the couch and falling back into the you shaped dent that you've been gorging yourself deeper into. Sips of soda between salty chips you eat with passion, topping yourself up despite having eaten enough for a family of 5 on the way home. When the chips are gone, the muffins follow right after and you can feel the bread expand with soda once it reaches your over worked stomach. With the pressure in your gut rising and supplies running out your hands explore your body and trace the stretch marks you wear as trophies. Deep guttural burps escaping your lips when you find the right spots.

As the weight settles in and your eyes grow droopy from the excess sugar you bite your lip and moan, enjoying the fact that you are the smallest that you will ever be. Pulling out your phone to reorder the most recent door dash delivery because you don't care what it is that slides down your throat, you just want more

How Do F1 Cars Work?: Power, Transmit, Suspend

Alright part 2 everyone. Let's go.

1.Power Units

You have probably heard lots of yammering about power unit components before. Things like 'they took on too many and now have a grid penalty' are common to hear. But what is the power unit, and what does that mean?

So the power unit refers to the engine system that helps power the car. The modern F1 car is a hybrid, a mix between a typical Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Energy Recover Systems (ERS). The modern F1 ICE is a 1.6 liter V6 turbocharged engine and can rev up to 15,000 RPM. It uses gasoline and generates a majority of the power. I've explained how it works in an older post, but briefly it compresses air and fuel and ignites it to create combustion which generates energy. The turbocharger is a part of the ICE that helps condense air more, in turn forcing the engine to create more energy.

The ERS has two components. The first is Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K), which recovers energy from braking, stores it in the battery (which stores energy from the two units), and can be used as a boost to power. The second is Motor Generator Unit- Heat (MGU-H). This unit recovers heat energy from the turbocharger and converts it to electrical energy. It can either charge the battery directly or assist the ICE.

When teams get in trouble taking too many power units it essentially means they have replaced something like the MGU-H too many times. There is a cap for how many times you can replace a power unit component, but with the addition of more races every year the FIA is under pressure to increase this limit. Almost every single car takes the penalty at some point.

2. Transmission

The transmission is the semi-automatic gear box inside of F1 cars, which for them is 8-speed. It is located at the rear of the car and connects to the power unit. This is a part of the car that is famous for having issues, and often when a drivers car retires it is due to a gear box failure. With paddle shifters located under the steering wheel, drivers can change the gear in which they are driving. Different gears effect the traction, grip, fuel economy, and speed of the car and are used strategically throughout the race. Part of the transmission is the differential. The differential distributes power between the rear wheels when cornering, allowing the inside tire to rotate slower than the outside tire. The final majorly important part of the transmission is the clutch. In F1 the clutch, which is a device that connects the engine and transmission to the car is automated and controlled by electronics. It is usually used when starting the race or leaving the pit lane.

Grip levels, cornering speeds, and straight-line speeds all play a crucial role in gear ratio calculations. The teams have to find the perfect balance between acceleration, top speed, and adaptability. The team’s engineers use advanced simulations and data analysis to calculate the optimal ratios for each gear. They also take into account factors like tire wear and fuel consumption to fine-tune their calculations. All of this information can be gathered from electronic data gatherers inside of the car, running simulations, and also the drivers reporting themselves. Its why radio communication is so important in F1. This decision can make or break a race, and we have seen drivers lose due to an incorrect gear decision.

3. Suspension

The suspension system works to keep the tires in contact with the road and helps absorb the shocks F1 cars experience. This is created through a variety of springs, shock absorbers, sway bars, etc. Without the suspension, the chassis would be experiencing the full extent of the shaking and pressure, which would do damage to the car and be very painful for the driver. Anytime you see a driver shaking like crazy in the car, it usually means there is something off with the suspension. Suspension also allows the force of the bumps and the kinetic energy to be stored by a spring, which is then compressed, absorbing the energy transferred by that bump in the road and allowing all four tires to grip the road. The biggest difference between street car suspension and F1 suspension is that in an F1 car each tire is independently sprung, which means that they move on their own, useful around corners.

In F1 cars they have a pushrod or pullrod suspension. These systems transfer pressure from the wheels to the suspension dampers and springs. In a push-rod system, the rocker arms are placed at the highest point in the car. As such, the rod is under pressure as it transfers compression forces upwards into the rocker arms. In a pull-rod system however, the rocker arms are located between the upper and lower control arms, at the center of the car This means every time it hits a bump or curb, the wheel pulls on the spring which causes the pull-rod to go up and outwards from the chassis. Both are regularly used suspension types.

Teams regularly change how their suspension is functioning, and it is by far one of the most tweaked systems on the car. Truly, a weak suspension can make any car one of the slowest cars on the grid. So next time you hear a. driver complain about how slow they are on the straights, or how much their back hurts, it usually means their suspension is not where it should be.

That's all for this post, next one should be about braking, the various electronics/sensors, cooling systems, and wrap up of how everything works together.

Cheers,

-B

notes from fp1 - miami

mclaren with 10 upgrades - new front wing and suspension and revised front brake duct and winglet. revised floor, cooling louvres, sidepod inlets, rear suspension and corner. new engine cover and body work.

oscar has half the upgrades, lando has the full spec

williams finally has a complete, spare chassis

both lando and oscar struggling with heavy steering through most of the session, lando's being easier to 'turn left than right'

red flag 8mins in, charles span and saved the car but ended up facing the wrong way - clutch overheated and wouldnt go into reverse so had to he recovered

charles unable to take part in the rest of the session

logan locked up and ran wide through t11

alonso made changes to front and rear suspension midway through the session - unhappy w the balance

tailwind pushing several drivers wide including mv who locked up

softs arent lasting long at all, barely even one lap, especially if the driver pushes too much, too soon

redbulls both got caught by traffic on their flying laps so several tenths still in the cars

lando knocked a bollard down on his way into the pits

lewis locked up and went straight over the chicane at t14

ferraris and mclarens looking pretty close coming up behind the redbulls

aston and alonso have had their right to review rejected - alonso's penalty in china stands

most laps - pierre and daniel w/ 27

least laps - lando w/ 21

Alfa Romeo Disco Volante by Touring Superleggera 

The Disco Volante is a two-seater Gran Turismo. It is based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupé with its front-central mounted 4.7 litre V8 engine and a transaxle rear drive with unmodified specifications. Each unit, of which the construction requires 4,000 hours of manual work.The present Disco Volante celebrates the myth of the 1952 style icon. The new design briefing required to blend ingredients as innovation, emotion and aerodynamic properties into a timeless and essential shape.During the development stage, Head of Design Louis de Fabribeckers and his team cooperated with the engineers on an almost daily basis. “We focused on the preservation of the design essence. – says de Fabribeckers – Once the design frozen, we had to understand the manufacturing problems and solve them right away without compromising the design.”In consistency with the car’s design philosophy the interior has a ‘science fiction’ feel to it. Part of this ‘spaceship’ atmosphere was created by elements like the red LED interior light profiles. Also, aeronautics has been the inspiration for parts like the dashboard, instruments and seat adjustment lever.The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione chassis was chosen for its light and rigid structure and its outstanding dynamic properties. Therefore it forms the perfect basis for the coach-built bodywork of the Disco Volante, integrally conserving the rolling chassis and drive train.The Alfa Romeo 8C’s steel space-frame and other structural elements were retained to guarantee torsion stiffness, high performance and the quality standard. The frame members and the central carbon cell remained unchanged. Elements of the underpinning and the body, such as the engine bay and firewall, the windscreen and cowl, the a-pillar and the locks and hinges have been retained too, just as the dashboard and instruments, the pedals and the steering wheel. Parts like doorframes, the roof frame and the c-pillar have been modified to match with the new shape.The layout of a front-central mounted engine, a transaxle transmission and rear-wheel drive offers an optimal weight distribution of 49-51% between the front and rear axles. To ensure excellent handling the front and rear double-wishbone suspension scheme is combined with hub carriers of forged aluminium and additional trailing arms for the rear suspension.The lightweight and compact 4.7 litre V8 engine delivers 450HP and 480Nm peak torque. It is coupled with a six-speed sequential transaxle gearbox with electronic control and paddle-shift gear selection. Together with a limited-slip differential and a state-of-the-art braking system with large diameter, ventilated discs a precise, dynamic and proactive drive is ensured. The Disco Volante can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4,2 seconds and has a top speed of about 290 km/h (181 mph).

All new and modified components of the Disco Volante have been CAD designed. In this process, which covers feasibility, safety, homologation, aerodynamics and structural analysis, the most advanced IT tools and simulation techniques have been used.

Since torsion stiffness and noise reduction are of critical importance, special attention has been paid to the under-body structure and its elements, like the tubular frames supporting the rear wings and bumper, and the roll bar joining the c-pillars. Other complex design issues were the tailgate hinges, the 3d-cambered door window, and the front wheel covers.

The Disco Volante was then submitted to a CFD aerodynamic study to enhance the airflow and ensure optimal downforce in the rear section. After that, FEM calculations were run to assess resistance and rigidity of all parts subject to homologation.

Touring Superleggera is synonymous with the manufacture of lightweight bodywork. The weight advantage of aluminium is one of the assets of Touring Superleggera’s construction methods. Nowadays however, the craft of hand-beating aluminium panels is combined with the use of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). For the Disco Volante, Touring decided to use this combination of aluminium and CFRP. This has been the result of a study conducted to define optimal use of materials for the bodywork in terms of weight, resistance, precision, finish and quality, and ease of repair in case of damage.

The CFRP is used for specific components like the front bumper and grille, the bonnet, the skirts, the boot lid and the integrated rear-window frame. The bonnet and the boot lid are sandwich-built with Nomex filler in-between to obtain a better stiffness/weight ratio and to dampen vibration and noise.

The aluminium panels are hand-beaten using an epoxy mould. Since the inner frames of most parts of the bodywork are made of CFRP, this requires gluing of aluminium on carbon fibre. This technique adds to the rigidity as the glue has structural properties.

The body panels are pre-assembled on a laser measurement platform using a jig. This ensures that the strict tolerance required is respected. After adjustment, the panels are either welded or glued. The body-in-white is then used to preassemble and fit all trim components, brightware and moulding.

Realistically, do you think a team like Haas would ever actually be able to make their way to the top to fight for podiums or even wins in the next 10 years? I feel like the sport is so suffocating that it has created it's own version weird of a poverty trap where there teams at the bottom of the table can't really fight their way to the top unless something seriously fucked up happens and a top team does insanely badly/falls into scandal and drops to the bottom, thus pushing the others one spot up.

Interesting question - the answer I think (right now) is a big "no - for now". While we have "customer" teams on the grid (ex. AM with Merc engines, same with Williams etc.), I think that Haas outsources a good majority of the car's components rather than design/build them themselves, which puts them at a disadvantage.

The engine is Ferrari, the chassis is Dallara (or was. I think they are now more hands-on in the design/creation process), the steering system is Ferrari, gearbox/suspensions are also Ferrari, etc.

That being said, despite being made up by spare parts of a factory team, said spare parts car was able to hold Ferrari behind them for 30 laps this past weekend, so... 💀 Who knows 🤷‍♀️

How Serious Is A BMW X5 Chassis Stabilization Malfunction?

If you ride a BMW X5, you must be aware of the “Chassis Stabilization Malfunction” alert that pops up on the dashboard when something is wrong with your vehicle’s stability or suspension system. Since your BMW X5 is engineered with this system to keep itself balanced and steady, specifically while driving on rough roads or taking sharp turns, so noticing its malfunction notification can make you a bit scared. Stay calm! This comprehensive guide is all about learning how it impacts overall vehicle efficiency and the potential causes that trigger this. Let’s face it.  

Why your BMW X5 “Chassis Stabilization Malfunction” warning is alarming?

Effect on safety: The chassis stabilization system is responsible for maintaining vehicle stability and safety, particularly while coming across rough or irregular landscapes at higher speeds. If it stops working properly, your vehicle may seem unstable or shaky while taking turns in corner areas, and lack of stability may make steering harder, increasing the chances of road crashes.

Reduced comfort: Your BMW X5 is famous for seamless vehicle performance, offering a comfortable and relaxing ride. But if the chassis stabilization system fails, you can encounter abnormal shudders, and your car feels rough while running on uneven terrains or bumpy roads. This usually degrades the overall ride quality, frustrating you at the end of the day.

Harming other components: If you neglect the “Chassis Stabilization Malfunction” warning and don’t take the necessary actions to rectify the faulty system, it may slowly damage different suspension and steering parts in the long run. Driving further in this condition can cause permanent damage to the chassis stabilization system along with the entire suspension system, draining your pocket on heavy expenditures due to unnecessary repairs and replacements.

Potential causes for your BMW X5 chassis stabilization failure

Malfunctioning sensors: In modern BMW models like X5, sensors are implemented to keep an eye on the overall chassis stabilization system operation. When one of these sensors fails, the false “Chassis Stabilization Malfunction” warning may appear on the display.

Sway bar complications: The sway bar is responsible for handling your vehicle body roll while taking turns. Thus, if it wears or has an unstable connection, the “Chassis Stabilization Malfunction” alert may get triggered.

Problematic shocks or struts: The primary function of these shocks or struts is to absorb the shock and impact from the road to offer you a smooth driving experience without any vibrations, even while driving on rough surfaces. So, when these suspension components fail, the warning notification starts glowing.

Suspension airbags or hydraulic system failure: Certain BMW X5 models come with air or hydraulic suspension systems, which have the special feature of altering the ride height and boosting the comfort levels. With a faulty hydraulic suspension system, you may observe the “Chassis Stabilization Malfunction” warning pop up on the dashboard.

Software error: Every time it's not the faulty auto parts that trigger the warning notification. Sometimes, the software of the computer system that runs the chassis stabilization system may develop bugs or glitches, which turn on the alert on the dashboard. This can be rectified only by software update or system reset.

Understanding how critical this situation is!

To know how serious the chassis stabilization system failure is, you must analyze what is the reason behind it. If the cause is a minor one, like a poor sensor or loose connection, it won’t hamper your driving and safety immediately. But it's good to get it fixed on your own or by a mechanic. Whereas, if the warning appears due to faulty shocks, struts, or sway bars, it is hazardous to drive your car in such a condition as your vehicle may lose its balance, risking your life from accidents. In this case, without driving further, you must visit the nearest BMW service center and seek professional assistance to repair or replace the damaged part immediately.

Winding up

Finally, we have learned that the “Chassis Stabilization Malfunction” alert in your BMW X5 varies from a small hassle to a major safety concern as per the reason triggering it. Well, you might want to ignore the warning light, but it's necessary to address it immediately to protect your beloved BMW X5 and ensure your safety on the road.
