Diesel Particulate Filter
The purpose of a DPF is to filter out particulate matter (a.k.a. black smoke) from a Diesel engine's exhaust, which consists of two distinct components, soot and ash. Soot is elemental carbon, which is the visible black stuff you see, and soot is the result of unburned fuel. Ash, on the other hand, consists of non-combustible metallic salts and is formed because engine oil contains many magnesium, calcium, and zinc compounds, and small amounts of oil are inevitably going to be burned along with the fuel.
A DPF is typically a big muffler with a ceramic honeycomb inside it that catches all this soot and ash and holds on to it. It doesn't let it out the tailpipe. It works well. But the problem is, it's a FILTER, and over time it's gonna get plugged. And once it's plugged up you now have an exhaust restriction, which is bad for your engine. It reduces your power, and you get all sorts of other problems. So how do you get the DPF to be clean again?
Many engines now have regeneration systems that spray fuel into the exhaust and blow air into it, then they light this fuel on fire so that the DPF can be heated to around 600°C in order for the soot be turned into carbon dioxide. This clears out the soot. Ash, on the other hand, is non-combustible and builds up in the DPF over time. Even during regeneration ash remains in the DPF and at some point you will have to wash the thing out or have it professionally cleaned in order to get rid of it.

From the year 2007 onwards basically all heavy-duty Diesel engines had to get a DPF in order to reduce particulate matter emissions, which lead to Diesel engine manufacturers ramping production up significantly in 2005 and 2006 so they could continue selling pre-DPF engines well into 2007.

Derogatory term for suburbia, so named because most of the main thoroughfares are "stroads" (wide fast roads with tons of entrances and exits).
Many of the people spreading FUD about "15-minute cities" grew up in suburban Stroadville and never knew what it is like to be in a truly walkable, pedestrian-friendly environment. Others, however, have managed to break out of that bubble and are actually advocating for better zoning.

Politically correct (aka Newspeak) term for "physical distancing". You're not actually distancing yourself socially. Social distancing is actually distancing yourself from society and being less social. We're not doing that here in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

A non-offensive way of saying "nigga" but instead of replacing the g's with 🅱️'s this time it's done with 🅿️'s.
So it's like ni🅱️🅱️a but slightly different

An airplane that is very capable and will be one of the safest things in the sky once it returns to service. However, all the media want you to know is that it's somehow doomed to be a death trap forever, because fear-mongering and clickbait bring in those oh-so-precious clicks and money.
The Boeing 737 MAX is a good airplane, but it was definitely rushed to the market due to Boeing being greedy. Sadly it took over 300 deaths to have a safe plane :-(

A word (or phrase) that has been overused or misused so much that it now has zero meaning whatsoever.
Over the years, countless words and phrases have become "zombie words" as they have lost their meaning from extreme overuse and misuse. Some of these words are "diversity", "simp", "racist", "toxic", "cringe", "abuse", "unprecedented", "Nazi", and "Fascist".
