Oh, I know this guy. He used to be a presenter on that science channel on YouTube like 10 years ago. Forgot the name of the channel, but the other hosts were Laci Green and Trace Dominguez.
Edit: The channel was called DNews, now renamed to Seeker.

I have also been banned from specifically 196 for a comment on a completely different instance. Reason: Transphobe. Because I was asking questions.
And it's kind of annoying that when I scroll through the feed, upvote a post and get an error. Oh it's a blahaj post... Sometimes I realize after I've finished writing a comment and can't send it.
Excluding moves just because they are not very good goes completely against the spirit of this post.
In that case it's quintuple fork, cause 2 pawns are threatened.

Sure, but we aren't talking about bursts speeds. We are talking about sustained cruising speeds. I've responded to a similar comment of yours in more detail in another branch.
I specifically didn't mention overclocking because then there is no defined top speed. Depending on the binning, a CPU can be pushed arbitrarily far. If you provide proper cooling it can be sustained relatively indefinitely, but you still wouldn't do that all the time because energy efficiency tanks. That 10-20% performance usually isn't worth the added 100% power draw.
This argument hinges on the definition of "top speed". Is top speed what's written on the speedometer and what the device is designed for, or is it the max speed it can go before it explodes? I think, in this context we are talking about is max sustained speed/performance, judging by the fact that neither the human or the Enterprise have died/exploded. While devices are often designed to and perform at their "top speed", people can't for reasons other than inefficiency.
You can't just eat more and work 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. But you can and often do run equipment at it's top rated performance because it doesn't have emotions.
We could stretch the analogy and assume emotions to be a separate kind of fuel reserve, but I don't know if this simplification does justice to the complexity of human nature.
The principle applies to pretty much all equipment. A CPU will happily sit at 100-ish% utilization for years (if there are no thermal constraints), because it can't have an emotional breakdown.
Well, maybe it can, that would certainly explain a couple of cases that I have had...
Warp speeds were clearly modeled to mimick knots. And I'm sure that the lore reason for them not traveling at Enterprise's top speed all the time is again fuel efficiency and not because it would "blow up" (although 9.9 might be above its rated top speed, I don't remember). So it doesn't hold up with people, where you can just eat more and perform at your best all the time, we have additional emotional constraints that don't apply to equipment.
Other than all that... perfect analogy.
Oh so corndogs do have hotdogs in them. Good to know. I thought it was some weird bread thing.
