Revolutions

I don't like things spinning faster than they need to.

I grow edgy when my computer fan starts spinning up past 1.8krpm (which is about its idle speed), especially when I'm not doing anything intensive.

Another thing is that the road to where I live is rather hilly and its speed limit is 80. My car needs to gear down on the climb and I can see my engine rev up to 4krpm just to maintain the speed. The engine redlines at 7krpm (the indicator says so anyways, it's probably good up to 9k in reality), so it shouldn't bother me; especially since the car's an automatic. But it does.

Tune in next time for an exciting post about things that no one else cares about.
