Trying to figure out here if Louis CK jacking off in front of every woman he can trap in a room with him is rear end in a top hat or insane, before realizing that he was never actually funny.

Actually, Louie the TV show was good, but his full length comedy specials are really mean without the other bits to balance it.

its worth noting chappelle's show had other writers too. i can't know if he has ghostwriters for his standup (unlikely), but having some other funny people able to cast a veto on something is pretty important i think. like qirex said a lot of the show was intentionally transgressive and offensive, although from a satirical perspective that was lost on a lot of people
it also made him ridiculously wealthy and as others pointed out, was critically acclaimed. i think he just got a bit too far up his own rear end to the point that there's nothing but rear end now

Neal Brennan did a ton of the writing and actively claims co-creator status on Chapelle Show, and he co-wrote Half Baked too

Yeah, there's some parts that aged like rotten milk (anything about sexual minorities) and there's parts that were almost prescient (the Cosby stuff.) The best comics can only hope it's a mix. Even Carlin, rightfully lauded as he is, has some bits that are just straight punching down (like his bits on overweight people.) Still, that's normal for comics - social mores change.

When a comic's latest material can't read the room, that's on them. That's their job.

I think he means it will use starlink connectivity instead of cell modems. I'm sure there's no real reason that starlink base stations are the size of a pizza box, right? And that initial setup thing where they deploy and point themselves in the right direction is just for show, naturally.

As for power, he says the phone will be solar powered. Gonna get a lot of solar power in your pocket I'm sure. Even if the whole back of the phone was just one big high efficiency (20%) cell you'd still only be collecting an absolute maximum of 2 watts on a sunny day at the equator with the phone face down. That's still like 8 hours to charge an iphone.

The only reason we don’t have this already is because tech employees are lazy and don’t have real jobs. Imagine if they worked more than 4 hours a week, we’d be back to proper tech magic. Just like Geohot said! Not enough ambition and hard work that’s what I always say

Adam and Nick became The Adam Friendland Show. They're working on making it a 'late night' show, so the energy has been slightly off while they sort that poo poo out. Stav and his infectious laugh track was a big part of the Cumtown formula though.

people have such weird ideas about how much power you can get ou tof solar panels. i have a foldable solar panel that will recharge a phone in like 6 hours maybe. it's something that could work if you're on a 2 week hike, but if you're only gone for a weekend, just bring a powerbank, it's lighter and more compact. hell, bring 3 large powerbanks

Absolutely yeah. I think it's just that most people have no scientific or technical or mathematical literacy and treat electronics as magic boxes.

The math is not hard. At the earth's surface, maximum solar irradiation at noon at the equator is about 1kw per square meter. The best solar cells can turn 20% of that into electricity, so 200 watts. Multiply 200 by your available collector area in square meters, then compare that to the power draw of your device that's stamped on the bottom or on its charger. That's your absolute best case scenario. Now start thinking about latitude, weather, angle, shade, use pattern...

It's stuff that a smart fifth grader can understand. Yet these Adult Fans of Elon don't get it

yeah there's no way in literal, bright-rear end burning hell a solar thing would be at all usable for a phone. maybe charging one, but using it as an active power source? lol

i have a power bank i got for emergencies and its a pretty hefty thing thats about a quarter of the size of a cinderblock but just as heavy. poo poo didn't fully charge after leaving it in direct sun for over a week

I like to go to REI and look at all the ridiculous camping gadgets. My favorite is the thing that will supposedly recharge your cellphone with burning sticks cause they put a little thermoelectric generator and USB port on the side of a small cylindrical camping stove.

It was also like $400 so I'm never gonna buy one but I can't imagine it works that well as a charging station. Maybe you get 10% battery while making your morning coffee.
