donoteat’s voice is exactly halfway between dearest scooter and plinkett
his voice is one where you can't tell if he is 25 or 65 and either one is believable to me. i understand why some would not like the problem podcast though i think some of them are pretty good, mostly the ones where donoteat keeps things on track.

i would pay money for him to do Musk's other projects like he did the loop. maybe bring on <rocket/car/telecom/SEC/conman> experts as guests as appropriate.

i'm not sure why you think that the only reason someone might want to listen to a nicely told story instead of three goons with ADD interrupting each other with le zany randoms is if they're a bourgeois yuppie.

anyone who's on the fence, just click through the first half hour of this 2.5 hour long ramble and see if you can follow the thread

i like it when he's by himself a lot. maybe it's just the other people in this podcast i can't stand.

yeah i wanted to like it and gave it a fair shake with a few of their earlier ones (hyatt regency walkway collapse and around there) and nah

also without the slides it's extra annoying. all of my use cases for podcasts obviate watching any visual component, sorry

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

wtyp would be a bit better if it were a little more scripted but I do like the "just a couple technically inclined people drunk-explaining poo poo" schtick

It's way better with the slides, but I'm spoiled cause I can watch it while working. I've listened to a few during commutes and it's generally much harder to follow the thread there

i am familiar with the disaster, and i hoped to learn more about it, and then the first half hour was talking about trump telling people to inject bleach, then some chinese labor songs, and then three people repeatedly informing us that indian people aren't dirty and primitive so just check yourself buddy.

if that's your thing by all means go for it. i like a little more focus. like the ones he does by himself

So does anyone thing the Tesla Semi could be the thing that tanks the stock a bit.

some of the best writing i've ever read has been in poorly-xeroxed fanzines

also some of the very loving worst, but - just like podcasts - it's easy to pick the ones you like and ignore the ones you don't. personally i like wtyp but i *definitely* don't listen to it to actually learn about engineering, any more than i used to read (west ham fanzine) over land and sea to learn about the intricacies of the use of overlapping fullbacks in a 4-4-2 system. my favourite football podcast, top flight time machine, mentions football so infrequently it's actually a surprise when it comes up.

i mean gently caress it, how many posts in this thread (or any thread on these forums) are actually on-topic? 50%, maybe? and often the best stuff is the stuff only vaguely related to the topic (combat theory's frequent deep dives into the way actual competent car makers do stuff, for example). it's certainly not something i'd use as a resource if i were interested in buying an electric car, it's entertainment loosely themed around an idiot billionaire and his wacky hijinks.
