nerox posted:As for a story about Challengers, for my 40th birthday, my wife gave me a trip to the Porsche experience in Atlanta. Essentially Porsche has a race track and you rent a Porsche for a few hours on track and have a coach with you in the car, it's a ton of fun. The first question my instructor asked was what my daily driver was. After I told him, he remarked that he was glad it was not a Dodge Challenger because Dodge Challenger drivers are the worst people he tries to coach. There's places that'll let you do that on real roads (some get destroyed in this video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvBHN4sYEXg

Stare-Out posted:That makes me think of people realizing how much poo poo noise there is without the roar of dumb big engines, like when they banned smoking in bars people realized how loving awful bars smelled without cigarette smoke to cover it up. I live near a busy road and I'm in the back room with the windows closed, I can't hear the road at all except for big dumb engine noises. Removing that will go a long way, just like how bars smell better now without smoke even if they can still smell bad.

The Locator posted:Umm.. wut? I'll take whatever the 'awful bar smell' is over cigarettes every loving day. Well yeah, but there were stories back in the day when smoking was banned of people pointing out the smell of liquor-soaked sweaty-rear end people because before that they couldn't smell them in a tiny bar because of the smell of cigarette smoke.

People just don't consider trade-offs. Literally any time something new is introduced, if it's worse than the existing thing in any way whatsoever you'll have people whining about it, even if it's better in numerous other ways.

LifeSunDeath posted:in terms of energy density gas is still way better. EVs have the problem of charger networks, people who don't have the ability to charge at home (people in apartments or who don't have convenient outlets) and the whole thing where the weather can effect battery life. Add to that the larger upfront cost over a ICE powered car. I think there's finally pressure on the industry to move to EVs over the long term as you see states like California start to mandate them. That will hopefully lead to development on better batteries and increased charger capacity. The problem after those that we're going to have to deal with is that minerals like cobalt and lithium are vital to current battery technology and other rare earth elements are required not just for the batteries, but for the permanent magnets used in various systems. There are a lot of issues around conflict minerals and the environmental damage caused by REE processing that will take a long time to resolve and reform and that may limit the viability of EVs for all more than other concerns.

Well being that no one should ever buy a loving Tesla, what is the reality of the current infrastructure for charging? I don't care about what will be, I care about what is now. The one future thing I wonder about, are there any plans anywhere to try to have some kind of street charging for folks that don't have other parking?

nerox posted:Does an internal combustion engine have any advantage over electric other than a gas tank is quicker to fill than a battery? electric has trouble with extreme cold, battery efficiency goes way down and power gets used on heating. not a problem in california, but in the prairies you'd probably get half the normal range on a charge in the dead of winter.

In North America, Tesla's Supercharger network is so far ahead in deployment, availability, and reliability. It's not even close. It's so bad that every constructor gave up, and will join them. Ford joined Tesla's charging network a couple days ago.

Stare-Out posted:Well yeah, but there were stories back in the day when smoking was banned of people pointing out the smell of liquor-soaked sweaty-rear end people because before that they couldn't smell them in a tiny bar because of the smell of cigarette smoke. The big frat boy came up to me, tears in his eyes, he said "sir, they got the woke and they took all the smoke out of the bars! It smells so bad now! People are talking languages that don't even exist! No one can tell them how much they stink!" Nobody knew how much the bars would stink without smoke. I told them, they wouldn't listen to me. Now, many scientists are saying how bad the bars stink. They kill your buzz dead. No one can even drink anymore, all the bars are closing. No one can make money with alcohol anymore. Bud light lost all the money with alcohol. They even tried selling it to the woke lgbt. No one bought it, either. Now their company is in shambles. Now what do they have? Vaping? So many different smells. Clouds like you wouldn't believe. You can smoke cotton candy. Still not allowed in bars. Very bad move. It's also more dangerous. People are dying left and right because of the no smoking. China has a no smoking law, I think they want to take over the bars, then make them smoking again. A very smart move. But if we smoke in bars we can stop it and save the bars. Doctor Butts fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Mar 5, 2024 |

LifeSunDeath posted:that's outrageous. there are race cars that exist where the driver is the limiting factor, cause they can't handle the g's but the car can. ya this is why air travel will always be fuel. a tiny bit of gas creates a massive release of energy, and batteries are too heavy kdrudy posted:Well being that no one should ever buy a loving Tesla, what is the reality of the current infrastructure for charging? I don't care about what will be, I care about what is now. I'm guessing like everything else it's terrible and will only change long after people get really mad about it. all politics and planning are purely reactive now.

the worst bar smell I've encountered are city bars in old buildings with basement washrooms. it tends to waft upwards. meanwhile when smoking was still a thing my sister would come home from bartending reeking of cigarettes. anyone else remember these babies

Funniest is the bars that still have all the ventilation for smoking installed. The watering hole in my hometown just parked a giant 5th wheel camper out back with a heater in it. Grossest smoke room I've ever been in but also gently caress smoking in the winter.

Imagine if you will, that someone looks at reports of immigrants, people with visas, etc and then takes that number and writes “ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS” on it with big black sharpie and hands it to someone on Fox News or to Trump. “Illegals” can now represent anyone that comes in to the country that wasn’t the result of their grandparents birthing their parents here to birth the person. Also anyone that fails the brown paper bag test.

Actual headline: 300,000 migrants were processed at the southern border in December. This was reported in like mid January? But yeah, we had 300k people zipping around on air force one at ol' Joe's dime! Coasting from state to state using up all our social benefits programs.

Before you “gotta hand it to him,” keep in mind that chuds were also super pissed off a few years back when they stopped using Aunt Jemima for marketing purposes because it harkened back to racist tropes. Some swore they would never buy it again, others put old bottles of it for sale at a huge mark-up on eBay… And then Mr. Potato Head turned gay or the Green M&M ditched her gently caress-me boots - I forget what happened first - but they were off on another outrage bender. Maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t see any GOPer honoring the inspiration of Aunt Jemima as anything other than a cynical, backhanded way to own the libs.

America rules when one half of the political system is like, 'Yeah, sure, little girls can grow up to be President, that'd be nice,' and the other half is like, 'lol bitches on the rag ain't gonna control my rear end'. Totally cool and normal country.
