A gasoline engine is a type of motor. You are making a distinction without a difference. A motor is just something that produces mechanical motion. Motor. Motion. Motivate. All come from the same root as “move”
An “engine” can be the whole apparatus that does the work, not merely the thing that provides the power, and could be powered by a water, beast, or even manually such as the cotton [en]gin[e]. A lot of that usage comes from pre WW2, but it survives in things like “train engine” (the vehicle that pushes or pulls a train) and “game engine” (the program architecture that manages the processing power provided by the computer to convert user interactions, game assets, etc. into something that we recognize as a game).
It’s not a four-cycle engine. It is a four-stroke engine: each piston makes four strokes each complete engine cycle.

We all know the modern complaint: movie sound sucks now unless you have a high-end sound system. Frantically turning down the volume after turning it up to hear the dialogue only to need to turn it up again can be frustrating. Now, this doesn't solve the underlying problem, but why not have a "Volume A" and "Volume B" you can ...
Mixing it with a binder, effectively embedding it into a semi buried rock a seems like a slightly safer option than letting it sit out in the sun to be broken down by UV.
Im not convinced that picking Amazon packages, operating heavy machinery, doing data entry, or copy editing would have vastly differing performance changes from coffee consumption.
However…
I would imagine that an office worker might have more ready access to coffee, such as a communal coffee maker, than someone with less sedentary workspace.
“[Twenty-four] months is a more realistic time frame but strategically, she shouldn’t be opining on a time frame,” the person close to the White House said.
Fuck off! They can hold elections on a weeks notice in Europe We don’t need to import our garbage 24 month long US election cycle into Venezuela.
And the White House stressed that President Donald Trump’s priority is rebuilding Venezuela, and that elections “cannot happen overnight.”
“As the President stated, there will be elections at the right time, but his top priority is to bring Venezuela back from the dead and rebuild the country,” a White House official said in a statement to POLITICO. “When the country has recovered to the point where it can hold clean, transparent elections, it will be up to the Venezuelan people to choose their leader. We want a stable, prosperous, free, and friendly Venezuela, but this cannot happen overnight.”
Bullshit! They’ll never “be ready” in this administrations opinion. They’ll always be just one more goalpost away. Even if we accept the bonkers premise that “Venezuela is dead”, it should be up to Venezuelans how they want to rebuild the country.
I could be wrong, but I think the only cake that is guaranteed upside-up is one that you serve still in the pan you baked it in. That is more a choice of manner in which to serve the cake than a function of the sponge itself.
Upside down cake is constructed before baking in a way that is intended to be inverted from the baking orientation to serve.

If he hired a competent lawyer, they wouldn’t let him testify, but we all know that he won’t tolerate competence if it means he doesn’t get to do what he wants.
The grade schoolers aren’t employees of Scouts, nor are they students; they are members. Scouts has allowed women as volunteers and employees for as long as I can remember.
(In America) Girls have only been allowed to participate in Scouts and Cub Scouts for less than 10 years. It was not due to legal requirements that it started, and it still isn’t fully integrated. Charter organizations (local community organizations that sponsor individual units) determine whether their units will be for boys, girls or both. The “family troop” option only became available nationwide this last year

E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles.
What we have called “motorcycles” should actually be called “enginecycles”. Also, the engine on enginecycles is a four-cycle engine.
