I used to be a GNUCash user for 5+ years but I don’t think it did budgeting very well either, let alone via the envelope method. Am I missing something there in the newest versions?

For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.
When you’re engine braking—like when you downshift and let off the gas—the ECU often cuts off fuel to the cylinders. The throttle valve is also closed. In this scenario, your RPMs are maintained by the car’s forward motion, which is connected through the drivetrain back to the engine.
So yeah, you’re not using any fuel in that case, but you’re still turning the engine over. The wheels are essentially driving the engine instead of the other way around. That’s how you can have RPMs but no fuel flow during engine braking. The energy to keep the engine turning is coming from the car’s inertia.
A common example would be going downhill. You downshift to a lower gear, take your foot off the gas, and let the engine do the work to help slow you down. You’ll see the tachometer showing RPMs, but fuel flow is minimal or even cut off, thanks to our friend the ECU.
I’m not exactly sure how it worked in practice, but if it’s anything like simple aircraft engines with carbs, there’s a mixture control that you’d use in addition to the throttle to control air intake.
yeah, exactly. I don’t know enough about the implementation details to know if it is actually consuming 0 fuel though but there’s not much work the engine is actually doing.
Any reason why y’all as a community don’t like this content? Is it because it’s old? I indicated that in the title. I think it captures an interesting historical time and reminds us of things we take for granted now a days.

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?
