Meltdown and Spectre: Here’s what Intel, Apple, Microsoft, others are doing about it
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/01/meltdown-and-spectre-heres-what-intel-apple-microsoft-others-are-doing-about-it/

The Meltdown and Spectre flaws—two related vulnerabilities that enable a wide range of information disclosure from every mainstream processor, with particularly severe flaws for Intel and some ARM chips—were originally revealed privately to chip companies, operating system developers, and cloud computing providers. That private disclosure was scheduled to become public some time next week, enabling these companies to develop (and, in the case of the cloud companies, deploy) suitable patches, workarounds, and mitigations.

They switched to a proprietary S&S engine that has a thrust bearing. It's got an entirely different lower end just to accommodate one.

Have you driven one? There is a dealership down here.

There is/was an outfit in Daytona that sold/sells an adapter for Harley engines (dunno what model exactly) and a 200mm vw (or 356, 912, etc) clutch

You meant 30mm, right?

[Jolly Amaranto]

Looks like about 90mm to me. 30mm is 1.18 inches and 300 is 11.8 inches.

Here is a 90. Sorry nothing much to scale it against but the projectile is a little over 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
