 Why does gum loose it’s flavor over time, and what ingredients do companies add that makes gum “long lasting”?

The main reason gum loses its taste is due to your saliva. What saliva does is break down these flavour molecules, stripping them from the gum. So if you have less saliva, or you chew on a piece less often, it would stand to reason that the piece would last a bit longer. As for longer lasting gums, they don't typically last much longer than the rest. Most gum companies use most of the same chemicals, so it would more likely be a result of how they coat and manufacture the gum.

 Why do the most interesting parts of our dreams only occur right before we wake up ?

I don't know that that's true. I don't think my experience matches that. I think what's very likely is that we just remember only the bits right before we wake up. I seem to recall learning that unlike conscious perception, dreaming doesn't go from short term to long term memory, except of course the bits we focus on when we're awake and they're still in our short term memory.

 Why do so many stores/brands have a big and tall section but there is nothing for short men?

You can always pay a few bucks to have pants shortened, but there is no real way to lengthen pants if they are too short. So it’s more of a necessity to offer tall, while there is a solution available for shorter people.

 Why do moons orbit around planets instead of the sun?

well, gravity is a bit like heat. The closer you are to something, the more you feel its effects. So the earth orbits the sun because of it's strength but the moon is just so close to earth that it's caught up in earth's gravity instead.

For conventional explosions heat doesn't matter much. The main lethal factor for people are flying debris (wich is why anti-personnel bombs contain some extra) Aside from that the involved pressure hits verye harshly, depending on the size and distance of the explosion it can range from "topple you over and hit your head", over "punch in the stomach that causes internal bleeding" to "your bodyparts are ripped apart"

 Not including thumbs, why are all of our other fingers different lengths?

Evolutionarily speaking, if our (or our ancestors, or other apes) fingers were all the same length, it would be difficult to grip and manipulate branches and objects. This is a rather simplistic view, but you'd essentially have rakes for hands. Next time you see some monkey bars, jump up, grab, and explore how your fingers each provide an individual function. Likewise, curl your toes against the floor -- you'll see the longer ones provide a better, stronger grip while the shorter ones seem to provide more stability.

 How come spacecraft are able to take advantage of the rotational speed of Earth, but airplanes aren't?

Spacecraft are going to leave the Earth's atmosphere and enter into orbit. Orbits involve moving around the Earth so fast that you move "sideways" away from the Earth at the same speed that you fall. At that point, your velocity relative to the Earth actually matters. Or, to phrase it another way, a spacecraft needs to orbit with a velocity that is *independent* of the Earth's rotation. By contrast, a plane is never going to need to leave the frame of reference where the ground is considered stationary. Its velocity is best treated as *dependent* on the Earth's rotation. That probably didn't make a lot of sense, so let me use an analogy. The setup: You're on a large merry-go-round, and you're wearing roller skates. Scenario 1: You just realized that you're late for dinner, and your mom is going to be super mad if you're not home ASAP. You can either wait until the merry-go-round is moving you *toward* the direction you need to go, or *away* from the direction you need to go. What do you do? Clearly you need to wait until you're already moving in the direction you want to go before you jump off, so you get a nice boost. This is because the velocity you need to reach is in a frame of reference where you view the merry-go-round as spinning. Going one direction over another will affect your velocity when you're in the new frame of reference. This is like launching a rocket into orbit. Scenario 2: You're on the merry-go-round, and you realized that you dropped your wallet on a different part of the merry-go-round. Since you're not going to leave the frame of reference where you treat the merry-go-round as stationary, you won't get a boost for going in one direction over another. This is like flying a plane from one city to another.

 Where does the sun’s fuel come from?

WHen the universe was formed, the most abundant element was hydrogen. It's the simplest element: just a single proton with a single electron. Gradually, over time, gravity caused clumps of hydrogen to gather together into balls, and as the balls formed, the gravity drew the balls of hydrogen closer together until they were so densely packed together that the pressure in the ball got really high. When the pressure gets high, the temperature goes up, and when the temperature and pressure get high enough, hydrogen actually starts to fuse together into helium. Luckily for stars, the reaction of hydrogen turning into helium puts out energy. Once the hydrogen in a star starts fusing into helium, the reaction is self-sustaining. We can do this on a small scale in a hydrogen bomb: we make it so hot that we get the hydrogen to fuse. We call that fusion. The sun is a giant hydrogen bomb that keeps fusing hydrogen into helium. After the hydrogen is all used up, the helium will fuse into something even heavier, but it needs the crazy temperatures and pressures at the center of the sun to happen.

 Why can different email service providers (e.g. gmail, Yahoo! Mail) send emails to one another but instant messaging apps (e.g. Telegram, WhatsApp) cannot send messages to each other?

Email business models, like telephone ones before them, built on the idea of interconnection. App based messaging is a different business model,based on seclusion in an ad ecosystem. They could technically interconnect, bwt that's bad for the companies selling ads.

 since gas is just liquids but with particles spaced wider, can we technically just compress gas into water somehow?

Yes. Higher pressure will raise the boiling point of a gas. With a high enough pressure, you can raise a gasses boiling point enough to force it into a liquid. The opposite is also true. With a lower pressure, the boiling point lowers. [Here's]( URL_0 ) a video of water boiling at well below 100 C.

 Is it built in to the genetic code of a virus to make its host sneeze or cough in order to further spread itself and ‘grow’? Or is it just the body making an effort to expel the bad stuff?

Some viruses and bacteria use our body functions against us, to aid in their spread. Cholera is a bacteria, it injects a toxin into the causes the body to inject more water into the intestine causing diahrea, and hopefully contaminating more food & water sources so it can spread to other people. Cold viruses do the same thing with cough and runny nose. Typically they don't directly control the cells, they cause the cells to react to something, and that reaction is the symptom we see. Some fungus and parasites do it too.

Once upon a time this stored CMOS settings as well, but these days it's sole purpose is maintaining the system clock.

 Why do video game companies make exclusive games for some consoles? Wouldn’t they make more money if it were open to all consoles?

The point of an exclusive title is to help sell the hardware. Console manufacturers either outright own, or give financial intensives to the game manufacturer in exchange for making exclusive titles. In other words the console manufacturer pays your company for the exclusive rights to a game so that they can use it to drive up their hardware sales. Also you don't tend to think of first party titles like Mario Bros as platform exclusive titles, but they are. Nintendo only allows their characters to appear on other consoles when it is to their financial advantage to do so.

Surprisingly, yes. While it's not as long lasting as concrete. Super glue is essentially a liquid plastic that turns solid when it is exposed to air. The ramen just provide a surface and structure for the super glue to bond with. As long as it is sealed properly so the noodles stay dry I can see any structure made by super glue and ramen lasting a reasonably long time.

 How are news stations able to project which candidate will win a state after only counting 5% of the votes?

They compare it to the pre-election polls, and they do exit polls. If those two unofficial polls indicate a clear winner, and the 5% of votes counted align with those unofficial polls, then they feel safe calling the state. It's not official by any means, and no news station would ever call a state before polls close, so as not to affect people who haven't voted yet. But a state like California is never going to vote for Trump, so they can call it the second polls close.

 What does actually happen inside a computer when it crashes or buffers?

Crashing can occur from many things but usually occurs when the program encounters 'exceptions.' Modern programming often has 'functions'. Think of a program making toast. You rarely write a program to make the toast all in one go, you instead split it into functions. First you get bread. Then you get butter. Then you put the bread in the toaster. Then you turn it on. Then you wait. Then you take it out. Then you butter the bread. If any of those functions encounter an exception, it disrupts the flow of the other functions. What if there's a power cut - you can't turn the toaster on, which means every step beyond that is now useless - that can be thought of as an exception. In programming, most of the time exceptions are planned for and the program should know how to handle them. If it doesn't, that's when it'll crash. It simply crashes because at one stage of a process, something unexpected happened and the programmer didn't implement anything to let it recognize that. Buffering is very different from crashing. A buffer in programming is just a medium between data when you move it. Think of the toast example - the plate is essentially a buffer - it's just there to hold the bread while you move it from the bag of bread to the toaster. A program may use a buffer to store outputs temporarily if an input can't receive them quickly enough, such as your browser buffering a video in advance because YouTube is sending you the video faster than you watch it.

Any cash prize (including lotteries) is generally considered income in the eyes of the IRS (or similar entity for other countries). The person/entity giving the money will report the transfer of money to the IRS (and in some cases, offer to withhold the expected taxes) , and it becomes the responsibility of the recipient to submit a payment of the expected owed taxes in a timely manner and to report the earnings when the time comes to file taxes for the year.

 Why is the "no true Scotsman" considered a fallacy?

Words are labels for things. If we disagree on the labels, that’s just a disagreement. The fallacy is the act of redefining the label *after* the argument begins. Using your example, if you say “movie lovers are people who really love movies,” and then somebody says “oh, that’s me! I love movies.” And you respond by saying, “oh, but you don’t ever watch foreign movies. *real* movie lovers watch foreign movies.” That’s the fallacy. You’ve changed the requirement for being part of that group *after* you gave your premise. If you started out saying “movie lovers are people who love movies and watch foreign movies.” but someone replies, “I’m a movie lover, but I don’t watch foreign movies,” then that’s not a fallacy, just a disagreement.

 Why are the letters on the QWERTY keyboard positioned this way and how come the Dvorak keyboard was never adopted despite its efficiency?

As far as I know, originally the letters were organised like they are because typewriters tended to get stuck if the letters that were pressed were next to each other. Thus they organised the letters so that the most used letters were next to least used ones so they'd have the least chance of getting stuck. That way the typing would be most efficient. The order of the letters stayed even when the problem went away along with computer keyboards, because the order was already familiar so they decided it would be easier just to keep it the way it is. Correct me if I'm wrong!

 If wine is made from grapes how can it have "notes" of other completely seperate fruits and flavours?

Wines end up with flavors that remind people of other fruits. This is in part due to various byproducts of fermentation and in part due to what was in the grapes when they were fermented. It’s also due a lot to the person drinking - for example studies have found that wine drinkers frequently attribute light/pale colored fruits/descriptions to White wine and darker/redder colored fruits/descriptions to Red wine, but when they’re blindfolded the association trends vanish. Your sense of taste is highly subject to suggestion.

It could be a few different things, 1)could be that you cant use any old password so your using an older password. 2) this is common one for me, your typing it incorrectly on the 1st screen. When your setting a new password you get to see the rules. 1 capital letter,1 symbol,no spaces and 2 numbers So when you can see the rules you know what password you would normally use to meet those requirements

 Why does gravity increases the acceleration of an object when falling from a height (or their speed) ?

Gravity will constantly accelerate objects as they come together. However, this doesn't stop other forces from also acting on the objects. In some cases, these forces may counteract this acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the air resistance from the droplet bumping into gasses in the atmosphere slows it down. This slowing is proportional to its speed. That is, the faster the droplet moves, the more bumping into the air slows it down. As such, eventually the acceleration from gravity and deceleration from air resistance cancel out. As it turns out, this speed is slow enough and the mass of a water droplet small enough that it won't hurt you when the water hits you.

 Why are mammals not more colorful?

Most super colorful insects or reptiles use it as a [warning sign]( URL_0 ) that they are not good to eat. Mammals don't produce poison so we don't need this. Only male birds (usually) are colorful as a mating sign. It's also easier for them to escape than it would be for a mammal, so this is not a hindrance for survival. Mammals are confined to the ground and have different selection pressures. They need to blend in with the environment, which tends to be green or brown. Many prey animals can only see in the green/blue(?I think) spectrum, which is why many cats will be orange/yellow. More simply, because being any other colors than brown/gray/black/etc did not have evolutionary advantages over being a bright color.

 How do countries pay other countries?

Usually private or (semi private) companies buy the oil, not the state directly. In this case they usually purchase the product on the world market entering a contract for delivery for a certain grade oil. (oil varies massively in types and grades). The exchange of money is usually done on what is called the SWIFT network, which connects nearly all banks across the world. Once the contract is fulfilled, the final payment is transfered from whoever bought the oil to the oil company. You can access this network at your local bank, but you need some pretty specific information before you can transfer money in this way. Edit: think an email money transfer. But bigger, slightly safer and more expensive. I believe it's 25 or 30 per transfer? Been a few years for me.

 Why is electricity sometimes deadly?

Your body's resistance changes quite a bit. A 50 mA shock through the chest can kill you, but a 50 mA shock through your arm will hurt really really badly but not be fatal so both the path and the amount of current matters You live in a constant voltage world, in North America your wall outlets provide 120V, in Europe they provide 230V, and will let whatever current flow from them that the device wants. The magic equation for this is Ohms Law which is traditionally written as Voltage = Current * Resistance, but since we're trying to find the current we'll use Current = Voltage/Resistance Your skin resistance with dry hands is normally around 100,000 ohms so a 100V supply will only give you a 1 mA shock, you might not even feel it. If you've been outside and your hands are sweaty then you're down to 10,000 ohms and will get a 10 mA shock, you'll definitely feel it but it won't kill you. If your hands are covered in sweat and you've got some fresh cuts on your hand, now you're in the danger zone where your skin resistance is 500-1000 ohms so you'd get a 100-200 mA shock, if it passes through your chest it can kill you. Basically every power source you encounter can supply enough current to do serious damage to you, but we put protections on the ones that have high enough voltages that they're likely to generate dangerous levels of current. In places where we expect you'll have wet hands like the Kitchen and Bathroom we require GFCIs/RCBOs that trip at 5-10 mA to reduce the risk of electrocutions. There are a lot of variables at play with an electric shock. You don't know the resistance of your skin just by looking at it, and you generally don't know what path the current will happen to take. Some people get lucky and get massive shocks that go in their hand and leave their upper arm and just cause internal burning but they survive, others have just the wrong combination and update OSHA's "Lowest fatal voltage" number to a slightly lower level.

 Will I throw a standard glass beer bottle further (assuming all other variables variables are controlled) if it is empty or full?

Full, but not by much. The added mass isn't so much that you can't compensate with more force, so you don't have to worry about throwing it more slowly because it's heavier. At the same time, an object with the same speed will have more momentum if it's heavier. So the full bottle will be more resistant to things like wind. But then again there's not much wind and air resistance can do at low speeds to things as dense as glass bottles. There's also psychological effects of how much mote of your strength you may or may not allocate to the throw if you know it's a full bottle or if you feel like you have a fragile piece of glass in your hand. But that's more complex and less predictable/testable.

When I had chicken pox, there was one particular bump that itched more than the others. I scratched it more, and also picked at it when it started to heal, so that's why I have the one scar there. I assume this is similar to most people.

 How does a refrigerator work?

A motor causes some liquid to get highly compressed. Then its shot through a nozzle into a larger area. The drop in pressure causes the liquid to evaporate which sucks in all the surrounding heat. This is the cold inside of your fridge. Meanwhile, the motor brings all that now hotter liquid around to the back of the fridge where all that heat radiates from the pipes and fins and stuff on the back of the fridge (hence why they're warm all the time... that heat is the heat being sucked out of your milk). So, essentially, all a fridge does is move heat from the inside of your fridge to the outside. So that's why opening the door to cool off your kitchen doesn't work.

 Why isn't there significant talk about forming a third party in the US during this current political climate?

One of the most robust conclusions of the literature on political science is that a winner take all voting system (like the US') will lead to the consolidation of political parties into two. Pretend there are two parties, L and R which are left and right wing respectively. I then start a new party named LoC (which is left of center). A left of center voter who finds me the most agreeable of the three parties will likely not vote for me if they think things out, though. If he and other people like him vote for my party, it would mean that left wing support has been split between my party and L, leaving R with a majority share of the vote. Him voting for the party that he most agreed with led to the party he disagrees with the most winning. TL,DR: The US' election system makes it virtually impossible for a third party to emerge and certain that in the long run there will only be two parties.

You are right that most consumer displays have poor color accuracy, though more devices are starting to come with calibrated displays. Professional content creators don't use calibrated displays so that you and I see things correctly, but rather to ensure that when working as a team every member sees the same thing. If they were to all use consumer displays then, for instance, you might have someone who's display has more of a green tint and might adjust colors to compensate, but then it would look wrong to the rest of the team and it would be a constant back-and-forth.

 why is oil is so badly distributed on the planet ?

Oil is primary of dead plankton, both animal and plant plankton. They fell onto the bottom of shallow seas where you had sediment like clay from the river that mixed with them. The result is that there is not a lot of oxygen down there so the plankton will not decompose there but get trapped. The fossils then need to be covered by more material so the geet deeper in the ground where the temperature is higher. It needs to be over 90 C to form oil but less than 160 C because you ger natural gas or graphite if it is very warm. This is the step then the biologic matter is turned or kerosene and then to oil or natural gas. The step takes millions of years in most situation The rock needs to be porous enough so the oil can flow up above the water and for larger reservoares with oil. You also need a layer above that the oils and gas cant just pass trou and get to the surface. So it is quite a specific condition where it happens. So you have a lot of oil some location that was shallow seas in the past with the right conditions. Just a forest on land will not form oil or even coal. You do get trapped biological matter in bogs where there is not enough oxygen for decomposition but not in a regular forest.

As mentioned every other time someone posts this question, it really doesn't get much cheaper. Nothing really changes the fact it requires an enormous amount of fuel to put a manned spacecraft into space, and there is no reason why another manned moon mission would make sense besides to say we've done it.. for a 7th time.

 Why does a solid stream of water always eventually seem to break up into droplets as it's falling?

Acceleration due to gravity. The water in the stream speeds up as it falls, just like anything else that's falling. So the bottom portion of the stream is moving faster than the portion that's just exited the sink. It outruns the water behind it and pulls away, forming its own droplets.

 Why do antidepressants take so long to work?

Many antidepressants are SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), which is to say they are medications that block the destruction of serotonin which is naturally produced in the brain. This acts to increase the amount of serotonin in the brain but even though the SSRI may act basically immediately it takes time for the body to produce more serotonin to reach therapeutic levels.

 How does autorotation allow hellicopters to land safely?

The first thing to understand is that helicopters do not control the lift by increasing or decreasing the speed of the props. Once the props get up to speed, they stay that speed throughout the flight of the helicopter. Instead, the pitch of the rotor blades changes, which increases or decreases the amount of lift they generate. Helicopters even adjust how much lift the rotors generate depending on which side of the helicopter they're on, which is how the helicopter moves around. When the engine fails, the pitch of the props is changed so that instead of generating lift, they catch air and use that to drive them to spin, not unlike a pinwheel in the wind. This helps slow the helicopter down a little bit, because you're intentionally creating drag against the props. But there's also a neat trick of aerodynamics that allows the ends of the props to continue producing some small amount of lift, even as the rest of the prop is catching air instead. More importantly, you're building momentum in the rotor. You're trying to slow down, yes, but not enough to survive the crash. You're really trying to get the rotor to spin as fast as possible. Then, at the last possible moment before you hit the ground, you quickly change the pitch of the props so that instead of using drag to spin up, they do the reverse again and produce lift. That won't last very long, since creating lift creates drag *against* the rotation of the prop and converting that energy into moving the air. But when you do it right, you can create *just* enough lift that the helicopter can slow down enough to make a safe landing. [Smarter Every Day on autorotation]( URL_1 ) [Smarter Every Day helicopter series]( URL_0 ) *As far as I know*, the tail is connected to the main rotor with a mechanical linkage, so if the rotor is being spun - by the engine or by the "pinwheel" effect of autorotation - the tail will also be spinning. EDIT: typos and I accidentally a word Edit: check out u/HeliDaz's explanation below for a more technical explanation of the maneuver!

 How have we reached the conclusion that the universe is infinite?

Here, there's a big difference between our *observable* universe and our *entire* universe. The observable universe is definitely finite. See, there is a maximum speed that anything can travel (the speed of light). This applies not only light, but any other particles and even gravity are bounded by this speed limit. From observations that we have made, we know that the universe had a starting point, the big bang. Since there has only been a finite amount of time for far away stuff to travel to us, we can only see so much of our universe and as we look farther away, we are actually seeing older and older things. For somewhat complicated reasons, we can't see *all* the way back to the big bang, but we can get pretty close, but from our perspective, this "wall" is a finite (though very large!) distance away. Now, beyond that, we don't know for sure whether or not the universe is infinite, but it looks like it is. Basically, there are three options and we can reframe each in terms of the curvature of the universe: our universe has no boundary and keeps going on forever (zero curvature), the universe has a definite boundary (negative curvature, though you could never actually reach this boundary), or the universe wraps back on itself like a sphere (positive curvature). We can get information about the curvature from the wall I talked about earlier (called the cosmic microwave background). It seems to look like the measurements we make are consistent with zero curvature, but some assumptions have to be made and so there is still some debate as to how definitive these results are.

 Why do USB-Sticks get hot when you transfer data?

The sticks contain a little chip that is able to store data. In order to write or read data from it, a current must pass through the chip. When a current passes through something, there is some resistance, meaning some of the energy of that current is lost as heat. This is the same for all electronics and it's why computers have fans to cool their components.

 When many countries simultaneously enter economic recession during global financial crises, where does all the lost money go?

It’s important to understand the difference between “money” and “value” Let’s say you have a Ferrari worth $180,000. You don’t have $180,000 in cash, you have a car that’s on your asset books with that value. But what if you decide to sell it and nobody calls? Now what’s it worth? Nothing? That’s what happens in a market downtown - people who were spending money stop for various reasons and the value of assets starts to drop. Maybe you could sell the car for $50,000 and take a “loss” of $130,000 on the books. You didn’t physically lose a briefcase of cash, but because the buyers were suddenly gone, you’ve lost value.

A mask stops you from sending your own droplets out into the world. What it doesn't do is stop you from touching your face with hands that touched what others sent their droplets onto. If also doesn't protect your eyes. So people need to wear masks to protect everyone!

 How do you track the value of a currency? How do you know how much is a dollar really worth?

It depends how you want to track it. If you want to track it in country over time (the value of a dollar today vs. the value of a dollar at some point in the past), you use the Consumer Price Index (CPI), where the price of a set basket of goods used by a large number of American households is tracked over time. This is done, in the US, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics if you really want to dig into it. The alternative, is, as you suggested, to compare it to other currencies. Typically, when you hear on the news that the dollar is weakening or strengthening, that's what they're referring to. This has more to do with import/export than anything else (unless you invest in the currency markets). If the relative value of a dollar drops in comparison to the euro, American import companies that sell European goods have to exchange more dollars to get the same number of euros to buy European goods to import, which means when you go to buy them, they cost more.

Regular Cold Brew is made with ground coffee and cold water soaking in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. It would be filtered before serving. Nitro Cold Brew is regular Cold Brew being served from a tap that uses Nitrogen to pressurize the keg and lines. Nitrogen makes much smaller bubbles than CO2. This gives a Nitro Cold Brew a foamy layer of bubbles at the top.

 What makes the Swiss banking system a safe haven for criminals and multi-millionaires?

The Swiss take privacy extremely seriously. You have to be involved in a very serious crime before the Swiss banks even acknowledge your account’s existence to any government. Add in the extra layer that the US government would have to go thru the Swiss government and its even more secure. Swiss accounts have fallen out of favor in the past few decades as more countries have even more strict privacy laws and less taxes. There are a bunch of small island countries that are better suited for hiding money.

 what is rollback in fighting games and how come it makes it feel like there isn’t really any lag?

When you play online it takes time for control inputs to get from player A to player B and vice versa. In a rollback scenario, player B's computer is constantly trying to predict what input it will receive from player A and animates the game based on the predicted inputs. When correct, it appears lagless. When incorrect, the game basically skips a small amount to correct the mistake. So for example: Payer A presses X (punch) at time 0.00s Player B's computer predicts player A pressed Y (kick) at time 0.00s. So now player B's computer starts to animate a kick. At time 0.1s B receives the command player A pressed X at time 0.00. Player B's computer "rolls back" the game 0.1 seconds, works out what would have happened if a punch was thrown over those 0.1 seconds, and then skips forward again to adjust the game for the actual input. From player B's point of view, half way through a kick, it changed to a punch. However player B was able to press block, which is equally valid on a punch or a kick, so in this case the incorrect cue from the prediction algorithm was still helpful. When lag is low (say 30ms) this isn't noticeable, but when high, the quality of the predictions becomes important and artefacts like teleportation become apparent. To further improve things some games include a small amount of input lag, say 20ms. This lag is always there, and it's always constant so you're used to it. This 20ms input lag gives the game a little window for the game to "catch up" in during a rollback event.

 when it comes to production of consumer products, why do some technologically advanced products go down in price after a while but some products seem to only go up in price?

Depends on the market segment. For internet service, the cost of doing business hasn't decreased dramatically: laying down and maintaining a wide physical infrastructure still costs a ton of money, and consumers demand more and more as time goes on. For vehicles, the market doesn't favorite low end new cars: the second hand market competes strongly with the lower end new market, and profit margins on new cars in the low end aren't enormous, and increasing emmisions/efficiency/safety standards and mandatory equipment drives up costs a lot.
