  1. I expect a TV to be a video display, not a bureaucracy.

  2. As a 46 y.o. Canadian, the one thing I absolutely CANNOT get over is that to have a generic, boring, run-of-the-mill life in Canada, you have to be wealthy. I've felt that way about my stupid country for almost 40 years now.

  3. A chair, a screen with gaming system, and a floor to hold it all up. Rock 'n fukin' roll, man. Rock 'n fukin' roll.

  4. When your new gun kills the whole company without firing a single round, you know that's serious firepower :)

  5. Either that, or before voting to start a war, they all have to shoot themselves in one elbow and one kneecap. Just so, you know, they have a clearer idea of what they're trying to achieve :)

  6. What Petey hasn't brought up is that some kids keep to themselves not because they're awkward, or even introverted, but because they find the concerns of other kids uninteresting. I was a very, very sociable little kid, but when hanging around other kids my own age, I noticed that nobody was interested in much of anything but the pecking order--who was bigger, who could beat up who, who was most athletic etc. No-one was interested in anything creative, or any kind of discussion about anything other than who knew who, and who was popular or "dominant". Despite being very friendly by nature, I simply found being in groups very dull because of the monotonous nature of the pecking-order discussions. So, I've lived almost my entire life in near-total isolation.

  7. ...and then some drunk guy smacks into you and ruins it all.

  8. As a guy, I enjoy a good fart. I have yet to cross paths with a female that sees the humor in it, and I'm 43. Guys, you're on your own. Women that chuckle at farts are few and far between.
    108
  9. You were a COP and now you're a hippy? I guess you could say you've seen a thing or two! Holy crap!
    104
  10. An understandable oversight.
    99
  11. Who cares how the rich get richer. I wanna know how the poor get rich :)
    82
  12. They're just asking to get a kick out of how you react. If the police want to search your vehicle they'll just do so, they won't ask you. Same thing with asking you to exit the vehicle (NEVER do so because you are now totally vulnerable to them, the frame of the vehicle protects you from them.) They will simply remove you by force.
    74
  13. I don't like it when they hiss at me and scratch me either

  14.  @jamesquinn5281  If your IQ, income and life in general were all that great you wouldn't risk throwing it all away going to prison for driving around wasted. So tell us another one.

  16. With a different camshaft design, you could probably run these on compressed air (for a little while.)

  17. Your lawnmower is good for more that 5 or 10 runs, though.
    59
  18. I've always thought of farm tractors as something that a farmer buys, maintains and fixes himself, and uses for 3 or 4 decades. You can probably guess by now that I'm not a farmer. Imagine your toilet won't flush because it can't connect to the Internet?
    56
  19. In all fairness, plenty of girls will happily choose sides with profoundly antisocial people. Seen it myself.

  20. Sometimes I wonder if basic human stupidity is so common and influential that it's actually a kind of political platform!
    51
  21. You kidding me, that'll just make them want to have more wars! Government=psychopathy. On the other hand, maybe a good idea would be mandatory military service for anyone voting in favor of starting another war. I don't mean desk duty, either. Boots-on-ground, mud-in-face, bullets-whizzing-around-all-over-your-ass-like-fucking-hornets-on-crack military service.
    51
  22.  @Mhats  That's not enough. For a wrongful conviction, about a million a year is more appropriate. 50 to 80 grand is a mockery.
    46
  23. Reminds me of my second generation RX-7... Oh man, you had to rip the entire car apart just to replace the gazillion and one little light bulbs! Funny thing is in 1987 they coulda have used LEDs and they probably would have been cheaper to boot. Oh well.
    45
  24. If you're not smart enough to deal with your own bullshit when you're old, what makes people think their stupid kids will be able to help? :)
    44
  25.  @Morella101  No doubt. She was raised by a father who could articulately describe minute details of human nature, and that's gonna fuck a kid up :) Ok, bad joke, but really--look at almost all of Jordan's videos, all of them are about dealing with how screwed up human nature is and what deep shit the world is in. Frankly, the guy tends to be rather preachy, bitter and often comes across as judgemental and that's not gonna help a kid to grow up with a happy worldview even though she was probably raised to attempt to be insightful about life.
    43
  26. Using a much higher voltage allows them to keep the current from getting out of hand at very high power levels. So, it reduces losses in the motor and controller. But, if the car is heavier and has higher rolling resistance, it will still use more energy. If the Porsche was designed for best possible grip, it probably isn't using tires that are intended for the lowest rolling resistance, and it's a really heavy car to boot. Combine those two things and you have higher energy consumption. Doesn't mean it's a design flaw, it's just the way it is.

  27. That's how people become targeted individuals and wind up in prison for defending themselves.

  29. A lot of people who's lives revolve around clubbing are belligerent losers, not "sociable" in the usual sense.
    36
  30.  @tonycrabtree3416  In Canada you mean? It's not free, it's extremely expensive. It's just that in Canada it's publicly funded so everyone pays the same out of taxes. That way, if you have an injury you don't go bankrupt.
    34
  31. Yeah but at least the rats are thoughtful enough to not eat them :) (Either that or Antifa just don't taste very good)
    33
  32. Yep, gotta start 'em early. Nothing like a pre-Kindergarten age stoner :)
    32
  33. Yep, it's the old adage that a life not spent working like a fucking dog is a life wasted. Notice how that old notion only applies to working for somebody else in exchange for money.
    31
  34.  @danan9061  That's what I was getting at, if they really want you out you're out but don't voluntarily make yourself vulnerable to them just because they told you to. If they mean it they'll smash their way in and rip you out anyway. Probable cause or not they don't give a fuck so why should you--they can just make it up on the spot anyway.
    31
  35. MOney is money, I guess they figure there's no harm in taking a shot at it even if you're married. Most marriages go stale. People age differently--if both people are 22 and really attracted to each other, one of them might still be reasonably attractive at 35, but the other one might have hit the wall like a freight train. People like to fuck, and money is money, so that why they hit on you even if you're already married :)
    31
  36. There's nothing in a handbag that's 30,000 bucks. It's not a car. It isn't even as complex to design and make as a fridge. An album from an awesome artist costs about the same as one from a crappy one!

  37.  @jonny_sparks  Groooovy :)

  39. Monogamy IS, by definition, one person at a time. It could be only one person for life, or you could be with a number of people, but if you don't sleep with someone else when you're with a given person, then by definition you're monogamous. Some people get married, or form an exclusive partnership with another, and the other person dies. After that, they find someone else. If they don't shag anyone other than their current partners, then they're monogamous.
    26
  40. This is better reporting and storytelling than most actual news!
    26
  41. Money is money. Prostitute your body or prostitute your mind. It's just money and the more of it you can make, and the younger your are when you make it, the better.
    25
  42.  @JustKelso1993  Public places are the best places to fart! What's art without an audience? The best ones are the kind you can squeeze out almost silently, leaving everyone in line at the bank or the gas station trying to figure out who did it :)
    24
  43.  @penpuinn  Placing a burden on another human being is the whole reason why people have kids. With parenthood comes an agenda. That agenda includes forcing the kids to live their lives in a way that is gratifying to the parents' egos. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a bullshitter.
    24
  44. If you repair cars for a living, the last thing you want is a new kind of car that lasts for 20 years and never, ever needs any repairs or maintenance.
    23
  45.  @scottlemiere2024  Glad somebody pointed that out. Canada has legal bud and there are still plenty of people that think it's legal to drive around stoned "because it isn't drinking and driving." The law says IMPAIRED driving, not drunk driving. Smoking pot and driving stoned is illegal over and out.
    23
  46. It has little to do with nature. Human life is insanely expensive and very rigid for most people. No other species of life struggles with this.
    23
  47. Cussing at you is how police show dominance though. In other words, it's often a standard part of how a lot of them operate. Not all, but many. It's like a ferociously aggressive dog barking at you.
    23
  48. A guy will pretty much NEVER bully a girl unless she has gone out of her way to humiliate him. Even then he just stays away from her. The only exception is if she stalks him and humiliates him all the time--then he will beat the ever-living hell out of her.
    22
  49. Keep in mind that Mother Theresa was kind and generous with other people's money, not money she had to work for herself.
    22
  50. You can get fit without being a gym bro though. If you can tolerate doing it, working out and getting in shape does NOT necessarily have to be your entire identity, and having had sex either recently, or at all, also doesn't have to be the primary staple of your worldview.
    22
  51. Did he try going to a psychologist? You realize if the trauma is caused by one isolated incident, they can use ECT to program your mind so you never remember it happening. If that kind of thing ever happens and you're suicidal over it, go to a psychologist.
    21
  52. Good ol' Canada, where you need to take out a mortgage to get a doghouse. Everyone needs a place to live, but as a born-and-bred Canadian I just can't help but think of buying a house, even a nice one, as being a relatively trivial goal over the course of an entire human lifespan. Canadians seem to make house ownership out to be the ultimate life experience, the really BIG thing that life is all about, and the ultimate life goal/experience. Ultimately, it's just a bloody house, and you need a place to live. No idea why it's so insanely expensive, Canada is almost entirely empty space! You could cram the entire world's population and all of its buildings into our country and easily have room left for many times as many people and buildings, with tons of room to spare. Yet, Canadians treat real estate as if it's a rare and precious commodity despite having more of the shit available than almost any other country on the planet, and see it as if it's the main point of being alive--to the point of sacrificing your whole life just for a building to live in and watch TV after work. Damned if I know why.
    21
  53. I can't believe the field of psychology is so competitive. I've been to a LOT of psychologists, and a lot of them are useless, apathetic airheads... There's no way it's that competitive with the types of people that become them. A good psych is worth their weight in gold, but many of them are beyond useless and finding a good one can be an absolute nightmare and almost as bad as the underlying condition! (I was severely tortured many times growing up, and I never found a half-decently competent shrink.)
    21
  54. I'm Canadian so we can't carry, owning pistols here is pretty much illegal and I can't recall any time in my life when we haven't had incessant home invasions. Stories like this are delightful and hilarious.
    20
  55.  @RagDraggo  Bars, by and large, are mostly for people looking for trouble. If all you want to do is get drunk then it's much cheaper to buy some booze (or make it!) and drink at home. People with GOALS in life--their own pursuits, skills/talents, dreams and ambitions do NOT spend their lives hanging out in bars all the time trying to look cool. That goes triple if you're over about 25 or so.

  58.  @KontrolCZ  ?? Not sure why you think I'm not letting people enjoy something, I had an RX-7 Turbo II for well over 10 years, modified it and drove it to work everyday. Pretty good little engine, fuel consumption was high though.
    19
  59. Not really. People consume stuff largely in an attempt to offset boredom. That's where the whole big house, big SUV and big TV thing largely comes from. Nothing really wrong with some consumerism as long as you don't totally screw yourself from it.
    19
  60. Maybe at one time in specific places, but that's not possible today because of the widespread prevalence of the belligerence-as-virtue movement, a.k.a. ASPD.

  63. You're fucking right there is and I'm surprised it doesn't happen ALL THE TIME.

  64. Wankel engines still have pistons--the rotors themselves. A Wankel is a type of piston engine, it works using displacement. The motion is different, the function is the same. The original term for Wankel rotary engines was "rotating piston machine."

  65. People do get pretty rank after they croak
    17
  66. On Global Settings in NVCP, always leave it set on Optimal Power. That way, your GPU will idle when you're in the Windows desktop and the fans won't run. It gives the graphics card low power consumption and very long fan life. You don't want the fans running when the computer is idle or when you're only browsing the Web or watching vids. Set Prefer Maximum Performance in individual Program Settings instead. That way your graphics card will run at full speed (also with the fans running,) only when gaming, but will go back to idle with no fans running when your computer is idling and/or in Windows desktop, or doing light-load things like browsing & watching vids. Thank me later :)
    17
  67. Also, keep in mind that conventional success as defined by brutally hard work and high consumption isn't what everyone considers to be a good life. Your mind and worldview are not 100% biological even though your physical brain is. It's possible to have people who are genetically the same (identical twins) but they can be very different people.

  69. You DO have to be violent to stop psychopaths, though.

  70. The tragedy of youth is that our tremendous potential, and our intense desire to live, is all wasted on the heartbreaking drudgery of schoolwork. When we're old enough to live, it's all over.
    16
  71. Hehehe the car must have been owned by Tommy Chong :) Really, sometimes pot smokers forget about doobs they've rolled and stashed away "for the long weekend, maaaan." They can find them years, even decades later. In the case of something like a car, they might pry off a plastic interior trim piece or panel and stash joints in there. Trim piece snaps back in place, stoner forgets, and years later the car's new owner has to get in to check or fix something like electrical wiring aaaaand... Free Doobie!! 😀

  72. In many cultures it's considered the girl's fault if she's raped. Westerners are told we have to "respect" those cultures. Not that the Western world isn't fucked too, it certainly is.
    16
  73. MONEY.
    16
  74. Fuck working just for that reason. All the better reason for people to be self-employed.
    16
  75.  @CFG39  The Tesla Model 3 uses a permanent-magnet brushless DC motor, which can be 95% efficient or even slightly more. Other electric cars are generally using AC induction motors, which offer insane starting torque and extremely high power density, but are 'only' about 80% efficient--which is still very good. Incredibly expensive performance cars use the AC motor for it's ideal characteristics when accelerating an inertial load (car!) from a standstill, but the less-powerful DC motor is more efficient. That's why the Tesla Model 3 uses one.

  78. I love music and there's no fucking musician I'd pay 800 bucks to see even if I was a millionaire.

  79. Nothing wrong with that, I'm a natural extravert and it's my nature to love people but I think people are piles of shit :)

  80. If they build it, I hope it's well-defended! This sucker would be a heckuva pirate magnet.
    15
  81.  @brionbee  I doubt it. Aluminum-air is more likely, but there are numerous non-rechargeable (primary) cell chemistries that store huge amounts of energy at low cost. ALL of them are useless overall because they cannot be recharged.
    15
  82. That's not a problem with the technology though, that's just shitty product design. We have a Toyota RAV4 and every single time you get in the vehicle, you have to push the little button to enable the cruise control. Every single time. It resets itself to Disabled every time you get in and start the thing. It's a little button on the end of the cruise control lever. You have to remember to push it EVERY time you get in the blasted car! On my old RX-7 Turbo II the cruise enable button only had to be pushed once, it stayed permanently enabled until you pushed it again no matter how many times you drove it.
    15
  83. That's why when you're moving a fortune in blow, you use a cheap-looking, slow boat :)
    14
  84.  @bandieboo8102  Maybe it's just our culture. Ever heard of Dire Straits? Very good & very successful, I grew up with 'em. Never got anyone my age to listen to 'em while growing up, always dismissed them as painfully boring.
    14
  85. More like 20 to 30, but yeah. It also depends on the individual.
    14
  86. Local stationary energy storage for sustainable energy systems doesn't require high energy density though, which is the expensive part and also the very dangerous part. For bulk stationary storage the only requirement is that it's very cheap per unit of storage and can operate at part-charge without damage. Unfortunately, lead-acids don't fit the bill because even though they're relatively cheap and very safe, they get damaged unless maintained at 100% charge. Nickel-based chemistries are too expensive, lithium-ion is far too dangerous in large aircraft-hangar sized installations and tends to be very expensive as well. Perhaps LFP (lithium ferrophosphate) cells would be a good intermediate solution for local bulk storage but they are still far too expensive. Their cycle life and calendar life are outstanding, though. For large cities like Toronto, Montreal, NYC, L.A. and the like, having huge local battery storage systems might be a really good idea to relieve power stations from conditions of peak demand. It's just that battery technology is too dangerous and much too expensive right now. The highest possible energy density is only necessary for EVs, and is especially necessary for electric aircraft. The best current battery tech is much too dangerous and expensive, so even the best EVs are a very costly niche product and likely will remain so for many decades. They can get away with it for relatively small numbers of very expensive luxury & performance oriented vehicles, but EV still have no way to compete with internal combustion engines for low cost and high practicality & convenience. Long-range low-cost practical air travel entirely on green energy is a dream for the future--and an actual goal for the distant future.

  87. Strap a hand grenade under the car and wire the pin to the cat :)
    14
  88. I don't understand the appeal of driving a car that looks, and invariably handles, like it has serious suspension damage--or has had its control arms replaced with ones that came from a city bus. Could someone explain this to me?
    14
  89. In the case of laser eye surgery, it's the machine that does 100% of the work. The doctor's role is to examine your eyes and determine if you're a suitable candidate, because not everyone can have the procedure. Once you're all set to go and thoroughly anesthetized, the machine does all of the work by itself--it's fully automated.
    13
  90. Hehehehe yeah, like being a BMW salesman and riding the bus to work! "Not worth the aggravation! I'm takin' the fuckin' bus, it's cheaper AND more reliable!" :)
    13
  91. You still need to get out of depression to have a good quality of life though.
    13
  92. By definition, people who are antisocial ARE the ones to look out for because being antisocial actually does mean that they are predisposed to do this. The exception is otherwise conscientious people who are coerced or tortured into doing it. Introversion and being antisocial are not the same thing by any stretch!
    12
  93. Hehehe yeah, ever been shot with a non-automatic weapon? It lengthens you life and even makes you feel all warm 'n' fuzzy :)
    12
  94.  @andrewellard7254  Wrong, that isn't the way they work. I guess you're fortunate enough to have never been a targeted individual. Let it be known that the world you live in is absolutely, completely, utterly insane and when it comes to stopping psychos and/or malignant narcissists from stalking you, only extreme violence works. If a psychopath is stalking you, there's little point in wasting your time with the police. They're one and the same--they see life the same way, everything to them is all about power over people and the so-called "natural order," talking about human beings as if we're barely conscious and are nothing but dumb animals in a zoo, with lives and identities that are determined only by a power structure determined by nothing but harassment, interference and violence (which many "people" really are, including LOTS of cops--some of them are the absolute worst of them all.)
    12
  95.  @chrisschultz8598  Not necessarily. Sometimes it's just a hell of a lot of work for many generations. It could also be a really good investor and/or speculator.

  104. Drastic climate change occurs all by itself in nature. Organisms adapt and survive it quite easily--including humans. An ice age occurs every ~26,000 years, and modern day humans (that's us!) have been around about 200,000 years. So, we've already survived 8 ice ages, and we did it without electricity and heated/insulated buildings, expensive clothes made of fancy factory-made insulating materials, or any kind of technology at all besides maybe throwing spears and furry clothes made from animal skins.

  106.  @waffles1ca  That's cool if your life turned out that way but I grew up being gangstalked and physically tortured by corrupt police. So, my life has been absolute living fucking hell and I detest living in Canada, not that I've ever lived anywhere else. I'm glad you're well though.

  122. Congratulations Felinehyper, you're normal :) hehehe Actually, I've been in a similar boat for many years, the basic problem here being that I find normal life bores me to tears and leaves me feeling unmotivated. Job title, new car, 2.3 kids in line to be doctors and lawyers, and of course that universal prerequisite: Bragging about "how much hard work it was to get where I am today, but I worked hard for the privilege of bragging about how hard I worked". I'm sure you've heard it all before. None of it does anything for me. I have no problem with it, I just find it very dull, and too damn much work for something I don't indentify with. You know, like a zillion other people :)

  123. Nature really seems to be against people, doesn't it? It's just my own opinion, and we all know what body part opinions resemble, but if you're in your twenties, you're probably too young to have kids--and if you can't think of anything else you'd rather have in your life at that age, then maybe you need to get a life first before you consider reproducing. I'm inclined to see the 20s as the time to recover from the boredom and drudgery of school, and develop the ability to cultivate enthusiasm and energy for living--not just settling in and popping out babies. It's far too early. Sorry, just another shitty opinion :)

  124. Yeah, America is "weak". I'm Canadian, but fuck it, have you heard of all those nukes? Seriously, if they allow any MS-13 cocksuckers around, it's because they suppress the uprising of numerous other gangs. Even those shit-eating 65-IQ gang members have their uses--they prevent about half a million other gangs from taking over the country, and it doesn't even cost any tax money. Seriously though--just kill 'em all :)

  125.  @jordesign  Yeah, and insure the fuck outta that shit. Oh, it'll cost three times as much money as the actual WORK. There's a reason I don't bother with "paint jobs" anymore. Not that I ever did :) I've wasted enough time working on something really, really nice to have some loser deliberately destroy it. People, in general, suck ass and are losers. And, they don't even have enough money to compensate you for the damage they've done after you kill them.

  127.  @KAzik10001  Not true, you absolutely MUST pay property tax on a mobile home. It's part of the rent for the lot that you park it on. You can't just live anywhere at all--a building, trailer etc. must be on a lot that's designated for residential use, and you MUST pay property tax. Failure to pay it will land you in prison. Keep in mind that from the perspective of your government and authorities, the sole purpose of your existence is to generate tax revenue, and possibly also to produce the next generation of tax cows. That is ALL you are to them, and like a sick farm animal, a sick tax cow that doesn't produce revenue is taken out back and shot (put in prison or possibly driven to suicide.)

  135. I disagree. "Meditation" in the sense I've heard it used isn't even anything, it's a fancy word for focusing intensely on doing nothing. It's basically vegetating, but more formal, to give it credibility. The cure for boredom is getting good at doing things you love to do, not making a big fuss over doing nothing.

  149. Capacitors could be great for drag racing. You're only going a quarter mile, so energy density isn't important. If you actually want to drive your vehicle anywhere, they won't store anywhere near enough energy for their size and weight. That's why Tesla (and others) use lithium ion batteries exclusively. I shouldn't have to say this, but the people doing this are not stupid.

  150. I think you're talking about introversion, not autism. A person who actually has autism probably doesn't care too much about what people think is "cool" because it revolves largely around image, and not substance-of-interest (concepts, methods, and getting things done.)

  151.  @starbyray7828  It has already happened. Off-peak electricity is roughly 10 cents a kWh, around 100 bucks a meg. Portable energy for vehicles (gasoline) is about twice that cost for the same amount of energy. That's really, really cheap. We may think of it as expensive because it's so common and so cheap that we use it frivolously. What's not cheap is practical, sustainable energy. The normal sources like oil-derived fuels for mobile applications and hydro, nuclear and natural gas for stationary energy are extremely cheap.

  162.  @bighands69  He mentioned that they won't readily admit it. It's young and naive women that find antisocial behavior irresistible in men, they outgrow it eventually if their minds aren't too fucked up. The idea is that they want a ferociously aggressive, fearless man to protect them--but, then they realize that they need protection from those men most of all, and some will outgrow their attraction to them when they start thinking that having the status of being with a man who dominates at any and all cost is more aggravation than it's worth.

A 300-pound muscleman that has a green belt with purple polkadots in Dai-Wang-Fung-Fang-Dong doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a fight against an 80-lb midget with a gun. Martial arts are fine, go ahead if you enjoy it. For actual FIGHTS, you're always better off with a gun.

If you puff the jolly green, taking very long breaks from it (6 months to a couple years) is one of the very best things you can do to get the dazzling highs back, and spend the money on other things in the meantime :) Smoking it all day every day will just make you so tolerant that there's no euphoria anymore, and what's the point of that?

  177. That's not what it's about. At 13, you have to understand that if a person legally earns the money and buys the car they want at the agreed-upon price, then they ALWAYS deserve to own it. It doesn't matter if they drive the car, it doesn't matter if they deliberately destroy the car either. Even a rare and expensive one. Once they've paid for it, they own it and if it's 100% legal and consensual, they deserve to own it. That's how it works. It's about ethics, not about the car.

  181.  @josue2409  You're not ethically required to do as they demand if all you were doing is rolling along minding your own damn business. Only legally. The reason police get away with it is because their targets put up with it, that's all. They can check you for sobriety, sure, and you should be licensed and insured but in reality whether you have a valid driver's license is your liability insurance company's business, not the police. The roads & highways are publically owned and are NOT police property even though they act like it. Liability insurance is an ethical requirement as well as a legal one and that's why a driver's license is needed. When the people want the police they will CALL the police. They can fuck off at all other times and stop targeting and molesting the public.

  184. What have you ever had to offer that an attractive woman (in high demand) so desperately wants that she's going to sacrifice lots of other guys' money for it? For very young women at their peak (late teens/early 20s), it's almost 100% image because most guys that age have no money, and the ones that do inherit wealth at a very young age sure as hell aren't wasting it on only one girl that will leave as soon as she's spent him into the poorhouse!

  189. I'm not sure if people are depressed because of using social media. But, younger people who's lives are empty will find social media overwhelmingly addictive because it creates the illusion that other people are interested in you--usually for very superficial image-related reasons. So, you end up focusing on the purely superficial, still living an empty life with no goals or enthusiasm, and end up very depressed. I'm an old guy (almost 45) and we didn't need social media to make us miserable. That's what schoolwork was for.

  190. I'm 47, for longer than I've been old enough to drive it has always been Japanese cars with the reputation for being the world's best. German cars, especially high-end ones, are considered highly desirable and have a mystique to them because of their high power output and mind-bending price tags, but Japanese cars have been considered significantly better since I was a kid. Also, high-end German vehicles have a reputation for being a nightmare to work on. Germany builds fast expensive cars, Japan builds GOOD ones.

  191. Jordan is a really thoughtful guy, I gotta give him credit for that. I find Canadians to be vapid, superficial thinkers that prefer image and jibba-jabba over substance, but Jordan gets credit for entertaining the idea of thinking about shit. Problem is, he has a bad habit of forcefully arguing his personal opinions and preferences as if they were hard-and-fast facts of a technical nature. You can dismiss many of his intense arguments simply by saying "That's fine if you prefer it personally, but to each his own."

  192.  @kellysuzanne976  Saggy tits look gross and old, just like a receding hairline on a man is old and repulsive. Getting old is sexually unattractive.

Not that I'm anything to look at, but even only a few years after I finished high school I noticed girls were losing their attractiveness, with very rare exceptions--and their whole lives revolved exclusively around nightclubbing. Girls, if it ain't happened by the time you're approaching your mid-20s, good luck. You'll have to settle for a guy who's unattractive and/or has a very low income and no real estate. Even if you're still attractive at 25, guys know full well it's already almost entirely over and done with. It's just a matter of time.

  201.  @openthinker6562  Those are as good as marked police cars because sometimes people will notice them. They're low-profile so as to not warrant excessive attention, but lights where there aren't usually any, unusual grilles/tires/features etc. might mean it's actually a police car. Cops inside are a giveaway, too. Truly unmarked police cars are impossible to distinguish, they could just look like a soccer mom driving to a PTA meeting :) But, it's a real cop with a real badge & real gun, they have a portable radio, and a magnetic light in the car they can place on the roof when chasing you. They just look like ordinary cars, with an officer inside in plain clothes. The lady in the Volvo wagon next to you at a traffic light listening to Celine Dion with grocery bags in the back seat could be a cop. The nice doggy looking out the window and panting away wagging its tail means they could be a K9 unit, and if there's a nice bag of good weed in your pocket, you betcher ass that dog knows it's there, and he probably has had it figured out for the 20 miles you've been driving in front of them with your windows down before reaching that stop light :)

We're actually fukt. As far as respecting the authorities goes, that would be more feasible if I hadn't grown up being tortured by corrupt cops. It's called gangstalking. Canada is actually a developing country, basically a police state, and that's all there is to it. As for Officer Pigshit here, somebody put shrooms and cough syrup in his coffee machine again. Of course you can record video of someone on your own property, it's YOUR property. Making a video recording of what goes on on your own property is none of the cops' damn business.

There's a possibility that it HAS to be illegal for people to enjoy it--that the kind of partying it is involves not just "fun" (doing drugs and being very physically attractive) but the defiance of it is a big part of what makes it thrilling for the people that are into it. So, keeping it illegal keeps it happening, and legalizing it makes it stop for the most part. Remember, it's not the parties themselves that are illegal, it's selling booze without a license, and selling illegal drugs.

  221. Sometimes our species is absolutely disgraceful. I've always maintained that, even in the Western world, but especially anywhere there are terrorists, that young girls should always be raised around firearms and taught how to shoot pistols at a reasonably young age. If they grow up to be attractive they should always, always, always have quick and convenient access to loaded pistols. I'm Canadian, nowhere near ISIL, but I've seen more than my fair share of disgusting, disgraceful antisocial behavior in my 41 years--many of it in high school, which was an absolute rape-fest. If I were a young female, or even a reasonably attractive middle-aged one, I'd never want to be anywhere without a loaded gun--especially in a terrorist state!
    6
  222.  @jessejames863  Yes it is. Well, I'm from Canada, but close enough. Living in your car is illegal because you're living without paying property tax, and that's all there is to it. There's nothing wrong with living in your vehicle if you want to do so, it isn't unethical or harmful to anyone, but it's against the law because you're living without paying any tax on the land you're occupying--the place you park your car. Simply existing for free isn't allowed in modern countries. If you exist, you MUST pay tax on the land you occupy, i.e. your place of residence. If you rent a place, the property tax is included in the rent. If you own a house you must pay the property tax on it as a second charge in addition to your mortgage payment to the bank. Existing in a country without paying tax on the land you're on is a criminal offense and that's all there is to it. It has nothing to do with whether or not you live in a car, it's just because you're standing/sleeping on the land. You could try telling the judge, "Ok, your honor, I'll move into a little apartment if you wish. But, YOU have to pay for it because I can't afford one." See how far that gets you--you'll wind up in the slammer, or even in some kind of homeless shelter, which is probably worse--AND you'll have to pay your entire paycheck for it!

  226.  @Capitanvolume  Yes, but staying rich even under acceleration is disastrous for emissions. One of the things you can do with hybrid vehicles is only ever run the engine for lowest emissions, and depend on the electric power system for acceleration even when you just want to reach residential area speeds (~30 MPH, ~50ish km/h) so you never have to "distract" the engine from doing what it does best, which is producing its power with the lowest possible emissions regardless of driving conditions. The drawback is that hybrid cars have two propulsion systems, and that just costs too damn much.
    6
  227.  @Capitanvolume  That's why your modded RX-7 cannot be mass-produced for the general consumption of the motoring public, though. The "Car World" dwells on two things only, and that's looks and acceleration. The visceral pleasures of car ownership revolve around only those two things, both of which are irrelevant to the technology itself, which is the production of practical and useful vehicles that perform adequately and usefully, at the lowest possible cost while aiming for sustainability in the long run (lowest emissions, good convenience and practicality, and marketability.) That's why purely electric vehicles and hybrids alike are still niche products, regardless of the vehicles looks and acceleration.

It isn't even two months, or hell, you softcore types that think 6 months without weed is pushing it :) The tolerance doesn't go away for a very, very long time--it's both physiological and psychological. For some reason, weed is just like that. To get back to the point where you get "fully" high on weed again, those dazzling, almost frazzled highs that are really euphoric, you probably have to quit smoking it just about completely for years.

  234.  Paddy234  It's not just the drugs, it the reasons people go to clubs. They're bored with their lives and are looking for trouble. Guys go to start fights and prove that they're "alpha", girls go to watch guys fight over them and get their money. If you dig the music, that's cool, but many (if not most) clubbers aren't there for that. They're looking for drama and conflict because they're bored, and don't have anything in their lives that they like to do.

  237. Too many "shoulds" in your statement. Everything is just DNA trying to make copies of itself, that's what love, sex & romance are ultimately all about. Romance/affection are nice but modern-day life is far too expensive to leave any room for it. If a guy does nothing but work, he can't "love" a normal girl--he needs a gorgeous one, and that's not realistic. If a girl is nothing but young & gorgeous because being interested in life is too expensive and she can't afford to do anything with herself except worry about who's jealous of what she's wearing, then she can't "love" a normal man--she needs a deathly handsome, wealthy and brutally dominant one. It's still all just genetic material trying to make copies of itself and propagate itself, though.

  238. Just as an aside, does anyone else cringe inside at the idea of 'high fashion' handbags and such that cost tens of thousands? Does it make you embarrassed that this sort of thing even exists? I mean, the work that goes into building a house, or even a Porsche or something like that, means it's going to cost a certain amount. It's going to be quite expensive for pretty much anyone that works for a living. But even if you can easily afford ultra-expensive designer fashion stuff doesn't the whole idea of it make you cringe and almost sad with embarrassment simply because it exists?

  239. A 9mm round, even a little .22LR, could effortlessly damage a wiring harness, ignition module, etc. It would completely stop the engine. Anything that destroys a system that's related to fuel delivery or ignition will stop it. It doesn't have to be a big, powerful gun. Most handgun rounds will do little if any damage to an engine block, but they can still stop the vehicle.

  243.  @c0ya1  I agree with you man, we have a 1993 FD RX-7 that's been sitting up in the garage for many, many years now. Lovely machine, needs a little engine work. Having it sitting there makes me sad, I've more or less outgrown the car "fetish" (I'm 46 y.o. now) but having that little beauty up there reminds me that the boring, mundane, everyday nuisance of driving a vehicle is something I used to really enjoy. Our base model RAV4 is a well-made vehicle that has served us well, but it just doesn't have the same "zing" to it as the RX-7! Of course, it also doesn't have the same fuel consumption as the FD, and doesn't have the FD's expensive taste for ultra-premium gas, either.

  255.  @JRP3  That's right--but, the "hefty" model S is still using the AC motor, with lower efficiency, for the exceptional driving experience it offers: Phenomenal starting torque and fierce acceleration from a relatively light and compact motor. The DC motor is used on the front wheels for continuous power in constant-speed driving, and for higher efficiency in regenerative braking, combining the best of both worlds in a big, heavy, extremely expensive car :) A normal, everyday car would use only a DC brushless motor for best efficiency. It just so happens that the acceleration performance is very good, too--but nowhere near the outright 'muscle' you can get out of a similarly-sized AC induction motor. The tradeoff is the conversion efficiency.

Cars can make you a bit happier, but only AFTER you've figured out how to make top dollar--and by then, the odds are pretty good you're getting older and will sacrifice everything for the biggest possible house and a couple kids you don't want because "SHE wanted it." If you haven't nailed that 100+ grand a year job yet, you can sort of just piddle around with cars. This shit is expensive, even if it's a 20-year old car in decent shape and all you want is to put some rims on it and maybe install a decent stereo. Your car can, and probably will, eat up more of your life than ANY physical possession has any business consuming--even a house! That's time that you could have spent pursuing a $100,000 job that you hate (like any job) and have the money to pursue a car that you actually like instead of pissing away a decade of your life fucking around with a car because you can't afford the one you really want.

Here in Canada it's basically the exact opposite, we're a developing country.

  360. It's sad that something that's supposed to bring happiness causes so much suffering. I'm as much the 'romantic' type as any straight male but I haven't a clue why men get married, ANY man regardless of whether he's the romantic sort or not. There's also the reality that nobody ever talks about: Even for the most rabidly horny man (most of us!) sex is overrated. It's just not that big a deal other than the high drive to do it. People make such a huge fuss over it, but once they're married, it's available to them and they realize it's no big deal. It affects women too. Once they get a ring on their finger, gain full access to a man's paycheck, and have full control over the household they realize they aren't any happier with their OWN lives. They can just buy crap without having to work for it, that's all. It doesn't make their own minds more interesting than they ever were.

  370.  @soulshine8281  I'm 45 years old now. Fuck friends. I still like music though :) Nothing against friendship. If real friends existed at my age, I wouldn't have very many anyway. I have zero interest in who works harder, who just had a kid, what job somebody has, who work more hours, who brags about how many bills they have to pay, and who's 2-year-old kid is going to Harvard or Yale (or both) one day because he/she is 2 years old and can already spell their own name. Popularity is great when you're young and love skateboarding or street fighting and think you're cool. Dire Straits are even more great when you're far too old to worry about measuring your life in terms of popularity :) Nothing wrong with people who can't stand Dire Straits. I would never choose or deny a friendship based on whether or not they like the same music as me--pretty much the same thing as when I was 14 or 15 years old. Music is personal for me, it's not a fashion statement to me, so I could never base a friendship (or form an external identity) on it at my age any more than I could when I was 15 :)

Sometimes, on very rare occasions, some people are extremely attractive in their 30s, and even their 40s--it's almost unheard of because its so rare, probably only one in many thousands uopn thousands of people, but it can, and does, happen. They don't have age-shaming. There are women in their 30s that are still 10s--but maybe only one in 100,000.

While the Civic has a reputation for being an excellent car, the Model 3 is incredibly expensive for its size, power, etc. The BMW might be a better comparison.

Enjoy it, they're just cars, they all do the same thing, and you just happen to have bought a really expensive one.

  415.  @henribasson5489  That's the term I was looking for! Utility Scale. At that level the only thing that really matters is total cost for the total energy throughput (watt-HOURS per dollar) and that's it! Total cost of implementation versus quantity of energy storage is all that matters for a stationary application. That includes fire insurance for "touchy" chemistries. For solar power, the energy itself is not only universally plentiful, it's 100% free. It's the human work required to make practical use of it that's unacceptably expensive, and that's why the world is almost hopelessly dependent on fossil fuels. It has nothing to do with the physical aspects of "technology" in the usual sense; the purely gadgetry-oriented sense. It's the poor cost-effectiveness that puts sustainable energy on the back burner while the human species continues to compete ferociously for money itself in the name of power over people and sex. Those three things are what the world is about: Power, money, and sex. Sustainable energy isn't profitable enough or practical enough just yet to become a primary goal for the human species because the use of "canned" energy from finite resources is still more profitable. Only after the world runs very low on fossil fuels will our economy adapt itself to make the effort to develop sustainable energy. Until we reach that point, you can do your part to help things along by getting a super-thirsty gas-guzzling vehicle and a huge McMansion that burns fuel and money to heat it and cool it.

The average Canadian after-tax (take-home) income has NOT increased by a factor of 10, not even close! It has almost doubled since the early '80s but sure as hell not ten times!

  432.  @sqmotorsports9230  No, it doesn't. Each rotor of a Wankel engine produces one power impulse per rotation of the output shaft, not three. So, a twin-rotor Wankel produces a power impulse every 180 degrees of shaft rotation. A 4-rotor engine produces one every 90 degrees. Also, volumetric efficiency has nothing to do with how often the cylinders fire or how many of them there are. That's not what volumetric efficiency is.

  447. Top 10 hits have to have as much appeal to as many people as possible. That means they're going to be sonically and melodically very predictable and, dare I say it, mundane. They don't really sound inspired to me, but they appeal to huge numbers of people. That's why they're big hits. They're stylish, but they are not MOVING songs. Simple and rather predictable songs don't have to suck. There's a lot of great stuff out there that's maybe 3 or 4 power chords and a rhythm section, all of them written in 4/4 time. It's called pop-punk, and some of it really kicks ass :) But, the sound doesn't appeal to the marginally-interested masses who mostly see music as a decoration rather that something to focus on.

  449.  @CL-gq3no  Yes, there is! At twice the power it's much easier and cheaper to deal with twice the voltage instead of twice the current. Since you're an electrical engineering student you owe it to yourself to build some electric bikes instead of spending your student loan on beer, night clubs and fancy bongs. Build a simple DC brushed motor controller or two and you'll see that it's both cheaper and much easier to deal with double the voltage instead of current on an actual, real-world application!

  452. Tedward, above about 4,000 RPM these cars are basically non-sequential anyway. The two turbos work together in parallel. It's only sequential below that RPM to reduce turbo lag and flatten the torque curve by using all of the exhaust gas to power only one of the turbos. We have a 1993 FD in the garage, we've had it for many, many years now. Almost 100% stock. I wish we could get around to fixing it up a little, it probably needs a new intake manifold gasket (front rotor inhales coolant, but no exhaust gas in the coolant reservoir.) These are lovely machines, nothing else quite like 'em.

To see them going away is a bit sad because it's a part of my youth, but realistically it doesn't make any difference in normal driving-for-transportation. New automatics are more expensive but they're really efficient and the shifting isn't slow and clunky like old ass automatics that really, really sucked and had three gears. Manuals are fun for sports cars but aren't needed in every car under the sun--nor are they marketable.

  460.  @Chuckiele  The shuttle's main engines are extremely expensive. Mounting them on the shuttle orbiter allows them to be recovered and re-used. If the main engines were not carried by the orbiter to protect them, such as by mounting them on the back of the external tank, then there's no way to recover them--they would be destroyed on reentry along with the tank.

They were so much like Canada--a developing country struggling in many ways, but surviving nonetheless. But, I guess the Russian government are just a bunch of warmongering fuckwit psychopaths after all. As if the world doesn't have enough wars, they have to start another. Fucking losers.

  480. What makes you think doing drugs is somehow American?!
    3
  481. No, not in the slightest. The biggest reason is a combination of two factors: Life is very expensive, and women get older and quickly lose their attractiveness. Women are demanding, men have to work like dogs to afford everything they want, and by the time a guy makes enough money to get her a house, car, clothes, stuff, this and that she's already getting older and starting to hit the wall. So, why bother? They probably wouldn't be really happy anyway because they get bored with it all.

  482. No shit eh, when your life is up who really gives a fuck if something is "legal." All this shit is just people who are bored with themselves and have nothing better to do than make a fuss over something that's nobody's business but their own.

    2
  489. I know what you mean, but in some parts of the States getting shot at a few times in your life is just par for the course even if you aren't a cop. Certain gang initiation rites include killing cops (or families, etc.) in broad daylight in front of numerous witnesses, just to show you're "down" or "hard" or any of that down/hard/ready to rumble/DNGAF Hardass-Gangsta-From-Tha-Hood-Yo type of garbage. In some hoods, an officer's uniform is essentially a sign that says "Insert Bullet Here" and they can't be too careful--sometimes to the point of being a little on the itchy side.

  492. Cannabis can make you slightly less depressed when you're high, so maybe some people feel less bitter/judgemental when stoned. This could create the impression of having more empathy. When you quit smoking weed though it makes you full of RAGE, giving the opposite effect! It only lasts a few days, but when you've been puffing good weed and then quit, it's kinda hard to miss!

  501. Henry Ford himself might have been a half-decent car designer and quasi-competent semi-professional engineer, what made Henry so remarkable was that without a fat degree from "Harvard" (or whatever) was he was a MASTER capitalist. You don't become massively successful by fucking everyone as hard as possible to make a profit. You become massively successful by ENABLING everyone. You ENABLE them to better themselves by obeying the rules and not fucking anyone over: Your own willingness to WORK is what EARNED you a better life, not "being powerful" so you can get away with screwing people. That's why Henry Ford was so remarkable, because he understood how capitalism REALLY works, and how to make people really work for the greater benefit as well as personal benefit. It had NOTHING to do with cars. In today's world, there's no room for Henry Ford because life is much too expensive now due to the easy availability of loans for consumer shit (credit cards). You cannot live a good life simply through your own hard work. You either inherit big money or you fuck people over, plain and simple. It's our own fault: people can only be conventionally successful (house, car, children, and consumer shit at a reasonably young age) by borrowing money so they can live beyond their means. Now you've screwed yourself. If you earn an honest living and live within your means, you cannot live tolerably nor can you even attract a female unless she's already old.

  510. Possibly, but it can also be rooted in the need to not be bored to death. Never would have tried drugs myself if I hadn't grown up in the public school system, I don't like doing drugs because they're not good for you. But, if your entire developmental life is persistently marked by excruciating levels of sheer boredom and drudgery, it 'poisons' your mind and everything else in life feels that way, too--it causes depression. So, I'm off to roll myself a joint.

How much money you got? How much money can you borrow? How much money can you steal, and how much money can you get away with counterfeiting? Add it all together, and you can buy a truck you like to own. Until somebody comes along and builds another one you can't afford. As far as getting the job done, there are plenty of them and always have been, and always will be. "But you're missing the point."

Constant partying and the walls, doors and windows are all smashed. The place is ready to be condemned after a year or two and your insurance doesn't cover it. Then your tenants disappear and you never see them again. It's a lot less aggravation just to sell it and pocket the bread, and live in a tiny, nice house (which still costs an absolute fortune in Canada.)

    2
  542. Same thing here in Canada. Even if you're not arrested you'll be on "police watch" (stalking & relentless violation of your personal life) for the remainder of your life. Canada fucking sucks ass, don't bother wasting your time thinking about living here. It's far too expensive here, too, although I guess that's a problem that always plagues industrialized nations--there's not much that can be done about it, goes with the territory.

  545. Rent is charged based on what the market will bear. Sorry kids, but your beloved home is nothing more than just another physical product like a TV set or a microwave oven, and the cost of rent/mortgage is the absolute maximum that the real estate developer can possible charge for the building without over-charging and reducing their revenue. In other words, a so-called "home" (a building) is a BUSINESS. It's not for giving you a place to live, it's for making money, and if you don't know how to make plenty of money, then you don't get to have a so-called "home". It's called the real world.

Nowadays it's probably becoming more common. On the rarest of occasions, you get a high schooler with more expertise than many of the world's adults, and it wouldn't surprise me if some of them are morbidly depressed because of years spent in school and will struggle desperately to earn a living because of it.

Vinyl is an archaic, cumbersome and inferior medium that can be considered pretty much obsolete, but people like it for nostalgia, album art/liner notes, coolness, and elitism :) That being said, for what it was, the sound quality on a well-made vinyl album with little/no wear and tear on it could be pretty good. It's just that, a really good-quality digital recording is indistinguishable from the original source material, and is also very convenient to work with--and it doesn't deteriorate no matter how many times you play it.

You can only write so many "original" songs with lyrics that are little more than bragging about being a degenerate :) Ok guy, you like to start fights, you like "bling" and you enjoy being a rapist and/or a street gangster. We get the point. I'll be the first to admit that while rap isn't my #1 choice, there has been good rap out there. It's the culture that revolves around it that makes rap so limited, everything always seems to be bragging about being angry and belligerent while trying to be stylish. It wears thin fast. If you want classic rock that you can love even when you're "old", try listening to Dire Straits!

  588.  @maxineporter8848  Not really, a sovereign country is just one that doesn't officially submit to another country's government (a Dominion.) Canada was originally called the Dominion of Canada, submitting to the power of the British government. We consider ourselves a sovereign country so nowadays we just say "Canada." This would hold true if we had no military at all. As for being a protectorate goes, both the USA and Canada are members of NATO and since they have nuclear weapons and we do not, then yes we can be considered a protectorate. It's not a bad deal since those things are terribly expensive and are a godawful pain in the ass to maintain. We just let the States deal with all that nuclear weapons stuff so we can focus on making beer and hockey pucks :)

On the other hand, if someone has a gun, I much prefer it if they don't shoot me with it! But, just having it for their own defense? Why would anyone have a problem with that? Much the same way, I don't care if someone has a car, as long as they don't run me over with it.

  591. Actually, Dirty Harry was supposed to be a good guy that hated bad BS. That was what his character was all about and why he was so iconic--he symbolized what a lot of people felt about police and justice at the time. Classic movie, haven't seen it in years but liked it as a kid.

  604. I started getting the burning itch in my scalp at the front and on top when I was TWELVE. At 13 my eyesight packed it in. Barely a teenager, quickly receding hairline and total shit eyesight. I'm not a big guy either so defending myself is NOT an option. I got to be old before I got to be young.

  605.  @maifeng  Couldn't agree with you more on the subject of psychopathy. Unfortunately, a lot of people in the system that enforce the rules are psychopaths themselves, so it ain't gonna happen.

  606. Yeah, this is pretty hot if you're a 13-year-old alcoholic

  607. There's no such thing as "implied consent" when dealing with police. They will just torture you to obtain your "consent."

  608. Misery costs money too. A quarter-century ago when I had finished school and was working full-time it utterly blew my mind how much hard work it is just to be miserable. My love for music was my only solace.

  609. The age where people very quickly start losing their physical attractiveness (if they ever had any.) Typically late 20s to early 30s.

  610. Money doesn't give you anxiety, being a slave to it and not making enough of it does. Having a stressful & demanding job that pays plenty of dough removes the anxiety and replaces it with burnout & rage. Choose your poison kids!

  611. That's cool! Do you write and play your own stuff?

  612. I haven't even had a real job in many years, but I'm 47 years old and I know that $100,000 a year here in Canada isn't very good at all!
    2
  613. I doubt it. In my 48 years I have never observed that people liked their lives because they had kids. It just makes life more expensive and doesn't really make it more meaningful. People have kids because it's fashionable, it's supposed to prove they're a real man or whatever because they have a pet baby. You've probably noticed that most kids are barely old enough to talk when their parents are foaming at the mouth to dump them off in school because the novelty of bragging about having a baby has worn off very quickly.

  615. Germany is busy hunting down WW2 veterans that are 98 years old instead of going after much younger Nazis moving into their country.
    2
  616. I tend to agree with you on that, I see psychopathy as a severe disorder and not any kind of an advantage for the human species. Mind you, I'm just not a fan of psychopaths. I'm Canadian, and in my country many people exalt and idolize them but I'd prefer to live in a world without any.
    2
  617. Kids are expensive and are life's biggest disappointment. It's very unlikely that any given kid will grow up to have the status/money/career that its parents demand of it. It could happen but the odds are very, very low. Here in Canada there's also the issue that people do little with their lives except work and everyone's miserable.

  621. I'm Canadian, and when I'm a senior citizen (if I live that long, which I may not) I'll carry a gun if I can get one somewhere. The law can fuck itself. When you're getting really old, you can't even run away from a threat. You have to shoot at it. There are very good reasons for not wanting young people (say, under 25) to carry firearms. But older people, especially much older? Come on, it's damn near a basic life necessity.
    2
  622. I doubt it, especially if he's much bigger. A big ass shiny revolver might help you though.
    2
  623. Men have midlife crises because they never got the most out of living when they were young. They wasted their youth on nothing but school and work. So, when we know we're getting old, we know we're fucked so "we might as well throw it all and live like there's no tomorrow" as The Offspring famously sang in their song Nitro. If you tried to live right, you did nothing except as you were told. So, if you're conscientious, then you're probably much more likely to have a so-called midlife crisis because you're much more likely to have wasted your life doing exactly as you were told.

  627. You can never legally defend yourself against the police regardless of circumstances. You're required to do nothing except comply.
    2
  628.  @brententhornton8951  Essentially yes. Of course you should still have some self-preservation instinct, but anything except total obedience will anger the police.
    2
  629. Nothing wrong with wanting a normal life (by modern-day definition). Except for the fact that it's outrageously expensive and isn't worth the aggravation!
    2
  630. Why would you "never" buy an EV? Not even if they were much improved, lower cost, very long range, excellent build quality etc. you'd still "never" buy one simply because it happens to be an EV? That's pretty closed-minded. I like gas engines too but holy crap, it's still just a consumer product.

  635. Where the hell did you get all the money for all that expensive stuff when you were so young? Your family must have been rich! I rarely did anything at all because I was always broke. Where the hell do people in their early teens get THAT kind of money? Sounds like you had a fun time growing up, my life was living hell.
    2
  636.  @skindianu  I was always made acutely aware of that when I was a kid, that nothing whatsoever was mine--not even birthday or Christmas presents, or even the clothes I wore or the cheap old guitar I loved playing--everything was my parents' property because my father paid for it and my mom was married to him. Everything, every little thing, belonged to them and I had nothing. I'm 46 now and still feel that way about things I actually WORKED for. GREAT way to raise your fucking kids. My parents were assholes...

  637.  @skindianu  Nope, things are totally fucked but thanks for the moral support :) hehehehe

  641. Was he? Whereabouts did you hear about that? Just curious
    2
  642. The screwy part is that industry and capitalism probably made human life better overall than it had ever been before. You don't have to freeze while sleeping on the cold, damp floor of a cave, you don't have to worry about getting eaten by a bear and you can eat your dinner without having to kill it first. The only problem is we've made life so insanely expensive that it simply isn't worth the aggravation. A normal adult life is just insane.

  645. Being taller than everyone else can be a sign of dominance which young women often find to be a turn-on. Lots of young women want a boyfriend that can dominate and humiliate other guys. It isn't so much a personality disorder as simply part of being a young female.

  646. Who cares if it's legal or not? Legality of suicide is irrelevant. Who's gonna put a dead body in prison?

  647. I've had to deal with a few people like this in my life. This is the sort of "person" you just shoot. Fuck arrests, fuck charges, fuck trials, fuck prison time. Just shoot them.

  648.  @jonathanbrando9689  No doubt... Problem is everyone is itching to get hold of it. The actual game, when released, ends up being more of an open alpha preview than the actual, originally-intended game. Kinda like buying a house with no roof or a car with no engine. After the inevitable early-after-release patch, you now have a house with a roof that leaks and a car with an engine that catches fire all the time :)
    2
  649. These engines are supposed to be watercooled, those little brass fittings are for cooling water. Running it without cooling will probably wreck it. Anyway, if it produces 0.7 HP from 2.4cc, that's almost 300 HP per litre of displacement! These little puppies are about $500 USD, or about $700 for a twin-rotor version.

  653. That's a GREAT one. Liking it as a hobby rather than as a point to prove. No idea why the car "community" is so toxic. For crying out loud, they're just cars, it's not like your a brain surgeon or an astronaut. You have a car.

  654.  @pjk3854  How about life for each life she took? I dunno, it was hardly an accident. It seems more like criminal negligence causing death and that's probably why she won't do much time.
    2
  655. Considering how compact the motor is, I'm surprised they don't use a separate motor for each wheel. Only a single-stage gear reduction would be needed, no hollow motor shaft, and no differential. Wheel torque could be distributed electronically, eliminating wheel slip when starting from a standstill. Very interesting to see it though, thanks for posting!
    2
  656.  @Resist4  Apparently a lot of the northern-most States are like living in Canada, here we have long, awful winters and the humidity in the summer sucks. Summers can be nice, but are much too short to be worth the aggravation of waiting all winter for them.
    2
  657. I'll take that one step further, and say it's pretty much par for the course in the world of pop music, and pretty much always has been.

  659. Has anyone else ever noticed that people are desperate to have kids, but once the kids are born they're just foaming at the mouth to get rid of them? "Oh my god, I can't WAIT until they're old enough for school! Then I can have MY house all to myself!" Why have kids if you just want to get rid of them? Every time someone has a kid, they always say that.
    2
  660. Sounds like Canada. How the fuck did having no life get so fucking expensive?
    2
  661. Doing it of their own volition is best, too. Cycling, running/climbing, even skateboarding (which arguably isn't great for your health, it's like the athletic equivalent of smoking) are good for kids and adults alike provided you can do them without breaking your skull or your spine--or your bank account if you live in the USA. Gym class is not voluntary--it's school. Many kids forced into physical activity without choosing it themselves will probably refuse to do it for the rest of their lives simply for that reason, much the same way I loved reading as a little kid and can't be arsed to do it anymore. That sucks.
    2
  662. Canadian here, 48 y.o. old rent a room from my father. Life is just too expensive to be worth the aggravation. I look at the "successful" crowd and their lives bore me to tears. Jobs, houses, bills, babies. None of it does anything for me and never, ever did even back when I was young.
    2
  663. Ethanol is ethanol, don't be so picky! The whole point of making good moonshine isn't the ingredients or even the flavor, it's just getting all the methanol out by the distilling process. That way you can get shitfaced without croaking too fast. Ethanol (2 carbon atoms) = grain (or corn) alcohol, gets you hammered Methanol (one carbon) = wood fiber alcohol, makes you blind and/or dead

  669. Money. Actually, a very specific kind of money. Debt :)

  670. House prices in Canada are ridiculous. It's just a damned house, not a spacecraft for crying out loud. The tiny house I grew up in was 36 thousand bucks, today that's barely enough to buy a car. The house is still there and today probably costs a third of a million.
    2
  671. Ultimate flight simming card :) Nothing more demanding than a hefty flight sim, no matter what anyone says. Unfortunately it looks like my vid card money is all going toward a new monitor, if I can find a 32" 1440p one that doesn't suck major ass in the backlight bleed department.

  672.  @dawkot6955  Nobody died as a result of ice ages. It happens very slowly over many generations, taking 26,000 years per cycle. It doesn't just get freezing cold all of a sudden and everyone croaks! You don't notice the temperature change over a human lifespan because it happens so slowly. The human species survived it in the distant past, it'll be no problem in the future because we've evolved to be able to survive it--and that's why we're here today.

  675. If you were locked up in prison for 13 years for a crime you didn't commit, you'd want to get a gun and shoot the place up too! School shootings are inevitable, even if ALL guns of any type are completely banned. The only way to completely eliminate school shootings is to eliminate school.

  679. 3:08 YESSSSSS!!!! Never ever, under any circumstances, finance your fucking mods kids! If you have to resort to the sheer desperation of borrowing money just to modify your car, then you can't afford it and are much better off driving it stock and just enjoying it for what it is when the company designed it. You're doing better spending your money on other things for your car instead, such as, you know... LIABILITY INSURANCE. And decent tires. And gas! Don't forget gas, your car will perform better with gas in it, the only exception is Diesel vehicles (or electric ones.) Know what? Absolutely nothing wrong with driving it stock. Not a problem at all. It's only a myth that a nice car (or any car) absolutely must be modified somehow or it's not a "real" hobby. Doesn't matter what kind of car it is either. DON'T FINANCE THAT SHIT and spend your time learning EMPLOYMENT SKILLS instead of modding your buggy so you can earn more money to modify it the way you like with money you've already earned! Bladed Angel, you speak the Truth, O Wise One!

  680. You're forgetting that the "kids of the rich," as you put it, want to die a hell of a lot less than the kids of the poor!

  681. As a Canadian I can attest that Americans are pretty good at loving their country while being somewhat less fond of their government :) What we can learn from Americans is that contrary to popular belief, government isn't everything. Even though it acts like it is.

  687. Not to be a buzzkill, but your computer does it all the time :) Windows is like that. You can "shut up" Windows with a variety of programs that are freely available, but I'm pretty sure it still manages to contact Microsoft and upload data about your computer use. I only install Windows without Microsoft account info so I can't use Microsoft Store, but it STILL sends info to the company.

  691. That's just unreal, I'm a 48 y.o. Canadian and it's inconceivable that at one time people could buy a house for the equivalent of a few years' pay instead of a few decades. This nonsense about every normal average house being half a million to a million bucks is insane.
    2
  692. Friendliness/humor is a sign that you're on the defensive to a person who's belligerent. To them, it's an opportunity to step up and escalate. So, you're just doing exactly what they want you to do.

  697. Kids are an expensive pain in the ass and are almost invariably a disappointment in one way or another. Even as a little kid I felt that way about actually being one, largely because of how I was raised.

  701.  @hammothw4814  Sure, if you're an only child and your parents croak young and leave you all their bread. Degreed professionals in Canada that have no kids and a dual income take more like 20 years to pay for a small house, maybe 30+ if they actually want to have a life sometimes. I served a trade apprenticeship right out of high school and saved as much as I could. I had almost no life outside of work and lived fairly cheap with my parents. It would have taken me decades to pay for a tiny house and I live in a little hickie burg, not Toronno!

  703.  @Tol_Ga  Ok, the Honda cars (and our two Mazda) I've been in had a toggle switch for cruise control. You turned it on and that was it--it was always enabled until you deliberately turned it off again. Not Toyotas! The dang cruise enable switch resets itself every time you turn the ignition off. It doesn't do jack the next time you drive unless you remember to deliberately turn it on again with the little button on the end. The cruise control system itself works great, nothing wrong with it, but what a pain in the ass!

  705.  @Nathan-tg4gu  You could have a good point there. Despite my own personal preference for actually using my brain, I've vegetated for many years, having started very early in life when my parents sent me to school. maybe I'm just not working hard enough at it :)

  706. The magnetic field isn't what allows a planet to keep its atmosphere, it's gravity that does that. The magnetic field is what deflects solar radiation, though. Maybe Mars is far enough away that it isn't as much of a problem?

  707.  @dinkywinky2860  That's a pretty straight-up and realistic viewpoint. One problem though is that people might not see an addiction coming, especially with what some people think are the most "fun" drugs :)

  711.  @TimothyGod  I try my best, but apparently driving actually gets a bit more dangerous again when you're in your 40s even though you're an experienced driver. It's because you've been doing it so long that you become complacent. When you're really young you have no experience but driving is fun and exciting so you want to pay attention. When you're a dried-out wheezing old geezer like me (47) you can zone out a bit on long highway drives. The solution? Drive faster. Weather permitting of course. And traffic permitting. And cops permitting, which they don't, so you don't drive faster :)

  713. That's a really gassy way of saying "marry money." Plenty of financially successful men are miserable and cranky too simply because they know full well that their wives will drop them like a bad habit if they don't make plenty of money for HER to spend on HER whims. Hint: Money is always worth money, but women get OLD and then they aren't worth a man's money anymore.

  714.  @jjk5693  It's their very high distraction value that makes them so effective at pulling your mind away, especially with today's incredible computer hardware (especially graphics.) I've always found that appreciating music was a much higher function of the mind.
    2
  715. It's not supposed to be like it once was though, not unless you're listening to recordings. Music changes over time, it's supposed to do that because it's a reflection of the minds of the times. Green Day's new album called Saviors doesn't sound like Black Flag because it isn't supposed to, it's a third of a century newer.
    2
  716.  @urbannanni5864  Nothing like having a hog farm nearby for convenient 'problem solving'. I hear they even gobble up the bones! The world-famous aroma that they're so well-known for probably makes it harder for police dogs to sniff out any remnants of the corpse, too.

  717. Strange, I always felt that when young, drugs feel good but are a waste of time (especially hard drugs) and as I got older I would do a lot more drugs. I'm broke though :)

  718. Of course they're seeking fame and recognition, that's how you become wealthy. Why would a person with an artistic nature, a person who's mind craves creativity and inspiration, ever want to work for a living? Working is for the fucking birds. It's heartbreakingly tedious and soul-crushing. But, you can buy THINGS that prove you're better than everybody else! Look at "Joe", he's HARD-WORKING, look how big his house is, he has a later-model BMW, and he always has the latest smartphone. Why would an artist ever care about that shit? You have to become famous to become wealthy so you aren't stuck in the futile, tedious grind of working for a living just to brag about stupid material possessions. Artists are primarily motivated by love for what they produce, not what they consume, so working like a dog just to buy things probably isn't the primary drive in their lives like it is for normal people.
    2
  719. In all fairness, eliminating dependence on police is a major step toward freedom. It doesn't work at large scales, so you can only have it in small settlements. At large scales such as cities, the anonymity brings out the profoundly antisocial side of humanity and authority is the only way ever devised to deter that. It still happens all the time, though. People talk about eliminating pollution or eliminating dependence on fossil fuels, but a VERY important part of the advancement of mankind is eliminating authority. That's because authority and life-destroying corruption go hand in hand.

  722. In all fairness, earning a really good income without the overwhelming and all-encompassing obligation/burden of normal jobs is a fine aspiration in life. I envy those who can earn a high income without being dependent on conventional employment and have a hard time imagining a better way for a human being to live.

Come on man, really? Oh yeah, every truck is made of steel. There has never been a plastic-bodied truck, only a rare few cars. There's nothing wrong with plastic body parts on vehicles, they are not mechanical and have nothing to do with the vehicle's reliability.

  727.  @philc1430  They have plenty of game. What do you think wealth is? They don't have to act like James Bond, the money does the talking. After all, money talks and BS walks :)
    2
  728.  @philc1430  What I'm saying is, you don't need "game" (playing bullshit image/dominance/monkey-politics games) if you have wealth. If you already have tons of bread, it bypasses image-based competition. The whole alpha-game-dominance-bullshit thing if for guys who are big fish in small ponds--who's the toughest, baddest, most aggressive and domineering guy at the little corner bar. That's it. Wealth renders that sort of thing irrelevant, because image is only image, but wealth is *freedom*, it's not just a few working-stiff dollars to buy a leather jacket and a Ford Mustang. :) In other words, guys that are hung up on being "alpha" are just slaves to the monkey-politics game itself, they don't have true freedom.

  734. Testosterone is a part of being male--and, also female! Women produce it too, just not as much as guys. If your ENTIRE life and identity is defined by "testosterone" then you're a fucking loser! Why the hell are so many people obsessed with testosterone? What the hell makes people think every guy on the fucking planet is supposed to be a jacked-up gym rat that's cocky and aggressive?

  735.  @Chelle8847  N.O.H.I basically applies to any crime against a person that's not extremely wealthy or of unusual physical attractiveness. There's nothing rare about it. Nobody cares about a fat, balding electrician or welder that was found dead in a field somewhere and didn't leave behind a 400-million-dollar estate.

  741. Slicing your own gut open is a hell of a way to 'prove' you're innocent!
    2
  742. That's a nice saying, but rage is there to protect you when nothing else will, by driving you to kill whoever is committing an act of injustice against you. That's also why humans are capable of the approach to life known as live-and-let-live.

  743. Jordan should have started a punk rock band. He probably could have had some thought-provoking social commentary in his lyrics.

  744. And yet your country still has the world's biggest economy by an absolutely enormous margin (over $28 trillion). Second runner-up is China at around 18 trillion but they have to support over 4 times as many people! They are, per capita, basically poor. That's your actual GDP, not wealth that has already been earned.

  746.  @NicholasBaldwin-om9xv  The "help" that I could use certainly isn't coming from anything to do with authority, that's for sure. I was first subjected to physical torture at the hands of a corrupt police officer before I was old enough for Kindergarten. Years and years of gangstalking.

  750. Yes, these are low-production vehicles and are intended to be extremely expensive. The company that builds them never claimed that they were intended to be anything but a hyper-exotic car. Buy yourself a nice used 911 Turbo if you're on a tight budget :)

  751. Maybe we just know where violence is best enjoyed now--on your computer screen in a game of Metro :) Plenty of people have always idealized real violence though. Just try going to a middle school or high school. Or almost any industrialized country with a military.

  752. What you're talking about is called a competence hierarchy. Instead of a pecking order (dominance hierarchy) in which the mediocre, incompetent and even criminal can rise to the top (such as government,) a competence hierarchy is defined by excellence in skills, knowledge and talent.

  753. now, imagine a YOUNG man not doing anything except as he is TOLD, and thinking it's anything other than a "failure."

  756. A house is just a physical thing like any other. If the value goes up, you can make money off of it. Beats the fuck out of spending your entire life doing nothing but working, you're just going to grow old and die anyway. The point is to get wealthy when you're YOUNG, not when you're old.

  758. Yet when they're young and attractive, a "husband" is of little interest to them and they're only interested in what other women think of his image.
    2
  759.  @0206-b8z  Either you were not attractive enough or not young enough, or both. Just like all the men you rejected way back when you were young weren't dominant enough or wealthy enough. It's always the same old bullshit, enjoy your stupid (lovable?) cats like I enjoy my stupid video games, and for the love and hate of this shitwad species, do not EVER have children. You're not cut out for it.
    2
  760. Yes they can, centipede bites can be really nasty! Some of them are very toxic and while probably not fatal for adults, they might be able to kill a child (especially in the case of multiple bites.)
    2
  761. Here in Canada we have motherfuckers joining ISIS too. They shoot at allied troops for a while, figure out they aren't going to get rich & laid being terrorist assholes, and they come back to Canada expecting shelter and money. I hope they all get executed.

  762. When they've been constantly casing the joint and breaking in, it's no longer just burglary, it's stalking. You shouldn't target people and stalk them. Especially in the USA, because you'll get shot, and when that happens, you'll have a bad day. Look, the guy is a little crazy, but he served in Vietnam and the experience of warfare often does that to people. The intruders had it coming and there's no way for any legalese jibber-jabber to deny that.

  772. I've never been married. Not man enough I guess. A married man's greatest regret is seeing his wife aging, realizing she's not that special and he just thought about her with his crotch instead of his mind and heart. A married woman's greatest regret is realizing that her husband just happened to have a certain job and will NOT become a millionaire, or a billionaire, or a multi-billionaire, or a trillionaire, or a multi-trillionaire, or a quadrillionaire, or a multi-quadrillionaire, or a quintillionaire, or a multi-quadrillionaire, or a quintillionaire, or a multi-quintillionaire, or a sextillionaire, or a multi-sextillionaire, or a septillionaire, or a multi-spetillionaire... etc., etc., etc., ETCTERA.

  778. In a nutshell: --In Canada, there are no gun rights. Licensed privilege only, very strictly controlled. --Pistols allowed only at ranges. No exceptions. --No carry of any kind, ever, no exceptions, not even unloaded. Must be locked up and un-accessible when in transit, remove gun from trunk of car ONLY at the range --Guns can be confiscated by the police at any time, for no reason, even with no history of crime, squeaky-clean life, related to Mother Theresa etc. etc. etc. They will NOT pay you for them, they just take them, and it's your problem. You will NOT get them back, ever. No criminal charges, no court order etc. necessary. --Owning a gun in Canada will put you on "police watch" for the rest of your life. They will track your every move and know more than YOU do about your personal life. With the exception of hunting, guns in Canada are essentially dangerous toys and nothing more. You may NOT defend yourself with one. Doing so is a far bigger criminal offense than whatever your attacker does to you--including attempting to kill you.

  779. Some of these kinds of videos are surprisingly good for such a boring subject. I'm getting drunk right now, but kudos to all of you out there who have made the commitment to going straight edge forever! I admire and envy you. Rock on all of you if you can handle the boredom!

  782. Women aren't that difficult. Honestly, they're not. Just be really handsome, earn a high income, and be generally really well-known and highly regarded by everyone. Even the most attractive women will be very reasonable with you and will generally agree with your point of view on most things.

  786. I played with cars for years, but I guess I'm not a "real" Car Guy (tm) because for the life of me, I can barely tell the difference between slamming the doors on any of a wide variety of different vehicles. The difference comes when you drive them--the presence or absence of squeaks and rattles in the car's interior.

  792. Don't forget that lots of popular music, or 'chart music' as you described it, is specifically written and performed a certain way--it's a deliberate attempt at commercial success in the short-term. They aren't trying to write any songs that are moving, relatable, or even all that good--in other words, they're written for a widely-consumable style, not to be moving or relatable art, and not to have any kind of long-term staying power. The simple fact is that's it's easier to sell a Miley Cyrus tune than it is to sell a Rush song or a Tool song. Actually, one of the really surprising success stories in the world of music is, for me at least, the British band Dire Straits. I'm surprised anyone in North America listened to them at all, never mind how huge they were when I was a kid.
    2
  793. Canada is a developing country. We're essentially a police state. I've never noticed that we have much in the way of standard of living unless you're wealthy--but if you are, why bother living in Canada? Move to a country like the USA. They're a deeply troubled country as well, but they're not stinking ass cold half the year and at least they operate under the assumption of not being a hardass authoritarian dictatorship. "Duty to retreat?" Yeah, in the True North Weak And Enslaved by police torture-based mind control. As for the Internet, I tend to get banned for a day on Youtube about every second day no matter what I post. Even just commenting on a musician's guitar/bass video or something, or somebody's car/hobby/engine/tech video I get banned, "To protect the community" or some woke-ish sounding fluff like that. It's the website itself and not just Canada, but it's bovine feces man, just pure distilled bovine feces

  796. Canadians too, cars here are absolutely insanely expensive to buy brand new--even entry level models. A shitty base-model new car up here is ~30 thousand bucks. Canada is too fucking expensive and our cars are no different. Insurance is expensive too especially for new drivers, but kinda always has been anyway.

  801. They have qualified immunity.
    2
  802. Not necessarily, especially today, whoever did it would be hunted down mercilessly and thrown in prison. There is the distinct possibility that the people that took him down were actually the police, just not in uniform and only using weapons that are commonly owned by citizens and used for hunting, instead of what the police might have used. That's why they can't "find" who killed the guy.

  803. You know, school isn't just agonizingly boring and tedious for the kids! Sometimes a teacher just needs a good swig of booze

  808. They recycle the old batteries. They don't throw them away, the metals inside (including lithium) are as good as the day they were first used. Batteries die because they physically deteriorate, not because they use up any of their internal chemicals. All of that stuff can be recovered from old cells

  811. For such a wonderful art form, probably one of the best things the human species invented, music as a way of life is just so fucking sad. It's a shame the music industry is just so psychopathic and has no regard for the humanity behind the "next big hit" or what the fuck ever. On the other hand, it's worthwhile keeping in mind that the music industry is NOT about music and never has been, it's about the industry: Profits. Once you understand that, it makes it all the more remarkable that any music has ever been recorded and released at all, just because of how it all works the odds of any given artist being successful is so close to zero it's amazing that anybody ever tries at all.
    2
  812. No it doesn't, I bought a nice RX-7 Turbo and it was incessantly stolen and vandalized. Then I bought a plain old Chrysler Genericar and it too was always stolen and vandalized. Your choice in vehicles doesn't affect the fact that people are losers.

  813. +1 for the laugh :)
    2
  814.  @russellschroeder990  Because it's not that fantastic. Wankel rotary engines are nifty, but the piston engine can also produce plenty of power, and it does it while burning less fuel because the piston engine's combustion chamber shape is more ideal--it wastes less heat from combustion, turning more of the energy from the fuel into useful power. The Wankel engine's only major advantage over piston engines is their compactness. That's it. Not really a factor in a car, because there's plenty of room for the engine, and that's why you always see lots of piston engine cars, and very few Wankels. Neat engines, though, great hobbyist's powerplant to play with.

  824.  @Zyryne1  Wrong, cost-effectiveness reigns supreme in the world of engineering and technology and that's why internal combustion engines are still the de facto universal standard instead of EVs. The only exception is certain specific military hardware where cost is no object--until it becomes one. For massive-scale production items like energy storage devices, cheaper and better are practically the same thing. Finally, you make a bigger profit by making something cheaper! Who is this "they" you speak of that will "never let it see light"? The energy industry? Cheaper and better is exactly what ALL of them want because it's great for business.

  831.  @kyleRS87  I'm far, far too old to care which musicians are "cool." Green Day play good stuff and do it well. Come to think of it, I never much cared which ones were cool, since "cool" basically means they're popular, good-looking, and stylishly dressed. I'm a straight guy so I don't give a fcuk about such matters when it comes to what music I like. I'm also almost 50 years old!

    2
  834.  @DeadeyeLefty  Fair enough, but life is too short to waste it worrying about something you have zero control over, let alone waste time pretending you have any say just because you vote. Life in Canada is insanely expensive. It's ridiculous. People are too tired and distracted to waste time on politics. You have to try to enjoy what little time and energy you have, why waste it on politics? Those guys are paid to worry about it, you're NOT paid to worry about it, so why waste your life on it? See what I'm getting at?

  841. Depression is largely caused either by being traumatized and rendered dysfunctional, or by being in the wrong environment so you can't live in accordance with your nature. Broken bones don't serve a purpose, but sometime bones are overloaded and they break. The same thing happens with your mind--if it's overloaded (stress) or is in the wrong environment (can't develop itself properly, and live in accordance with its best nature) then depression is the result.

F1 is intended to be a *sport*, i.e. a contest of driver skill, not purely a contest of money-spending.

  858. Livestreaming criminal activity?! Back in the good old days crime was underground. You had to know where to look and do it all yourself. Everything these days is too commercialized, people are out of touch with the grassroots

  859.  @kevincollins8620  That was the idea :) I never followed a punk community of any sorts, never went to shows, never 'belonged' to it. But writing punk music of all descriptions is something I did profusely. Tons of my punk songs (and many others) have been recorded and released to a surprising amount of acclaim over these past few decades. Never got any credit for it, let alone even a penny. Made great stuff happen, though. Not the least bit inclined to destroy or interfere with other people's lives. Like the classic punk song goes, I had better things to do.

  861.  @Chuckiele  An item has to be specifically built to survive reentry and the external tank isn't suited for that. Large, lightweight objects that make it all the way to orbit, or nearly to orbit, cannot survive reentry. They would be too heavy for flight. So, smaller things survive reentry, big things do not--and the really expensive bits like main engines go on the small things :)
    2
  862.  @Chuckiele  Or better yet, they're developing newer systems that seem more conventional in design, but the really expensive part (first stage) is reusable, and the second stage is expendable. So, it's much more cost effective, and it can launch both manned and unmanned payloads.

  863. Right lane is good, but driving too slow is being an asshole as well because you're disrupting the flow of traffic. People that drive a little fast are commonly branded as enemy of the state, especially here in Canada with the police forces' pathological obsession with speed limits, but going a little fast means you're not fucking up the flow of traffic. I'm not talking about criminal activity like weaving through heavy traffic going twice the speed limit. I just mean going a practical highway speed, such as doing 120-130 km/h on a major highway where the limit is only 100. I do NOT mean going 200+ km/h weaving through heavy traffic like some kind of psycho! I just mean driving a little fast, not being a homicidal madman.

  877. If there are other people nearby, you need weapons. Many humans are naturally psychopathic/antisocial, and Canadians are certainly no exception. I'm a born and bred Canadian and our country has no shortage of absolute fucking freaks. I've been a targeted individual (gangstalking) since I was a little kid, the police couldn't have been more apathetic. Where there are other people, firearms are a basic necessity of life. If you're the first person to live on Mars, you don't need weapons.

  883. Depends on what your motivation is for wanting a girlfriend. Young guys often just want one to brag about sleeping with someone, and adult women often want a husband so they don't have to work for a living.

  886. No, human interpersonal conflict is almost always about winning. It's never about solving problems and reaching a solution that's mutually beneficial, because that means not having total power. It's not about solving problems, it's about CAUSING them in order to show power--to dominate and humiliate other people to show you're the biggest monkey at the zoo. If it were about reaching an optimal/beneficial/harmonious solution, the existence of authority/police would not be tolerated. It wouldn't be opposed, either. It would just be studiously ignored until it went away.

  887. Tape decks are a pain in the ass in cars. Ever had one eat a tape? Whole f@cking dashboard has to come apart. Dismantle tape deck and clear tape. Test tape deck. Reinstall, including re-assembly of entire f@cking dashboard. When you're finally done, one of the speakers doesn't work :) Only reason I kept the tape deck in my car for so long is because it was a sports car (RX-7) with a stiff suspension, and CD players tend to skip when you hit bumps!

  894. I do NOT have a family and have not in almost 40 years. That's why I understand how important it is to be very heavily armed, and EVERYONE IN YOUR FAMILY MUST BE HEAVILY ARMED ideally from the youngest possible age (maybe 8 to 10 years old the first time they shoot a .22, let's be reasonable.) Unfortunately, young people waste their lives on the mindless drudgery of public school instead of learning the important things in life such as how to handle lethal weapons and how to be a thoughtful, reasonable person. If you want true freedom, the USA must work towards abolishing public school. If you don't want to raise your kids and teach them yourself, you don't deserve to have them and that's that. Here in Canada, it's hopeless. We're a tyrannical dictatorship and for the 46 years I've been alive, my country is absolutely OBSESSED with school. Canada is pathetic. I didn't even have a gun to defend myself against the police that stalked me and tortured me.

  896. Women are every bit as visual as men are when it comes to attraction. The notion that men mostly care about looks and women mostly care about caring is just a fallacy. Sexual attraction for human beings is visual, and for women it is also often pecking-order related in terms of dominance/aggression in men (for young women) and financial for older ones.

    2
  902.  @prestonm.64  Ok, so they replaced them with something newer and ideally better. Fair enough. The Crown Vic was a stout old tank but it probably wasn't anywhere near as good as a modern car.
    2
  903.  @prestonm.64  It's as good as any, Dodge can just build special police editions with more power and stiffer suspensions. As long as it's a "big" car with plenty of get-up-&-go and decent handling (and ideally, rear wheel drive) I don't see what difference it makes. If Ford wasn't selling many Crown Vics there's no reason to keep producing them anymore. It doesn't make good business sense for them to do it.

If you have a PhD in engineering (any branch) and you're making less than about a quarter-million a year, then congratulations, you're a highly intelligent, well-educated fool :) There's no way in hell I'd ever work that hard unless I was going to be a millionaire in my 20s, maybe early 30s at the latest. It's too much work just to be another working stiff with a stupid house and stupid BMW. That kind of hard work and complete-and-utter life sacrifice means either wealth, or fuck off :)

  912.  @boedillard8807  It's how the psychopathic machine works. You fight, you're charged--even in cases of personal defense. That's why some people are major advocates of suppressors--that way you just deal with it quietly, and nobody knows. The legal system isn't for protecting you--it's for controlling you. The less they know about your personal life, the better--but, there isn't any way to ensure that these days.

  913. Keep in mind that cats can be almost entirely self-maintaining whereas human babies are the exact opposite.
    2
  914. Well, they ARE human since the fertilized embryo is the legit first stage of a human life. They aren't lizards or elephants, they're human. But they are not conscious, so ascribing them legal rights like a conscious person is a bit over the top. Same goes with grown adults who have had accidents that leave them brain-dead even if the body is kept breathing by artificial means. It isn't murder to finally turn off the equipment and let the body die.
    2
  915. Someone else here mentioned that sometimes the gas station is really busy, and there are substantially fewer pump jockeys than gas pumps, so you have to sit around twiddling your thumbs and going bananas waiting for someone to come around and filler up. That would drive me coo-coo. Just pump it yourself, it's faster and more convenient. It's cheaper too, which is more relevant today than it's ever been!

  921.  @jinxtacy  That's right--those old aircraft engines were "rotary" by definition because the entire crankcase rotated, with the crankshaft stationary. It made for better fuel-air mixture distribution among the cylinders, instead of the lower cylinders running too rich and the upper ones running too lean. It also meant that they were unwieldy, clunky things that could only be run at very low RPM, so the power output was dismal for the engine's size and weight. Rotating-crankcase engines were only around for a little while before improved designs, called "radial" engines, with a stationary crankcase and rotating crankshaft were developed.
    2
  922. You're not in the car, you don't know ;) Actually driving a manual car is fairly trivial. Compared to finding a job and working at it to earn the money to buy any cheap old used shitbox car at all, learning to drive manual is UTTERLY TRIVIAL. Lovely car!
    2
  923. YES! Colorful lights, touch screens, and a menu with a gazillion options for "features" you'd never miss if they never existed are fine for a tablet PC, not for a car. I really miss volume knobs on radios that worked as soon as you turned on the ignition, instead of having to fuck around with a menu on a fucking touch screen on the radio. Or driving down the road and having to hunt through a touchscreen menu just to adjust bass and treble controls to make your tunes sound good. That kind of shit. Oh yeah, and the touch screen doesn't work half the time when you touch it even if you aren't wearing gloves.

  924. The time to bail out is when your aircraft is on fire. No point in going down with it, just survive the fall any way you can and at least you're still alive, which beats the alternative!

  925. Being a teenager fucking sucks because biologically, it's the best part of your life (late teens/early 20s) but you're too fucking broke to enjoy it, and as a teenager you always have to do fucking schoolwork. I'm 47 and it fucking blows, I can't see and I'm bald, I worked away my 20s but I'm still poor and living with my father. At least I don't have to do schoolwork, and then come home and do homework. If I did I would be in prison for murdering every human being I can find.
    2
  926. If you're 17, you don't have any energy to get your personal life in order. You've been drowning in schoolwork since you were little and have ZERO say in how you live your own life. I'm 47 now and even though you're in the prime of your life at your age, being 17 fucking SUCKS. I consider all the years I spent in school to be a horrible waste of my life, and I was largely an A student.

  927. An electric snowmobile is entirely possible, but I don't think you could stuff a large enough battery pack into one to get enough range unless it was a huge snowmobile--and it would be a really heavy beast! IC engines are very hard to beat in some applications, and snowmobiles are certainly one of them (aircraft are another.)
    2
  928. Depends on what you've seen and been through in your life. It's possible to be severely traumatized (tortured) without visible, physical evidence of it.

  929. Money isn't for contentment, it's for freedom from the overwhelming burden of obligation. Money is also a useful tool for getting things done that you can't do entirely by yourself. Look at the building you live in or the vehicles you've driven, or even the computer you're using: You probably did NOT design and build all those things from raw materials found in nature entirely by yourself!
    2
  930. A lot of drama and hype over a gasoline engine. F1 engines are relatively expensive because they don't build very many of them. For the amount of time and effort required to design, build, develop, and produce a very small number of engines, each individual engine represents a very high cash expenditure. That's why they cost so much. It has very little to do with machining tolerances, gas pressures, mechanical forces, or power output. It's because of the very small production numbers. If you buy a vacuum cleaner, it might cost 100 bucks. But, if you want one custom-made to your exact specifications, a "Formula One vacuum cleaner" that has exact specs for size, weight, motor power, airflow, and dirt particle filtering allowance, and you will only buy 50 of them instead of a whole market consuming them by the hundreds of thousands or even by the millions, that ONE vacuum cleaner will it will cost you $500,000 instead of only $100. THAT is why these engines cost so much. It doesn't have anything to do with part sizes and tolerances, pressures, or forces being "special" compared to a Toyota Camry engine, it's because the market for these exact engines is so small while the amount of work required to develop and produce them is the same as any other gasoline engine.
    2
  931. It's because once they have reached a certain speed on the takeoff run, there isn't enough runway left in front of them to stop. So, they MUST take off. Having both engines fail on one side of the aircraft, especially when very slow and heavy, is a disastrous situation.
    2
  932. Not to be a boring old fart, but if you're around 14 years old now I wouldn't bother being hung up on what products you want to own, including cars. Think a hell of a lot more about what you actually want to DO with your mind and your life rather than what things you would buy if you had limitless free money. Yeah, its not as much fun :) But a nice car (or anything you buy) is NOT really a primary goal in life. It is a side-effect of getting great at something so you can earn good money doing it, and then actually doing it and saving a pile of cash. Only then is it worthwhile thinking about buying something that costs a small fortune, such as a car. Oh yeah, 15 or 20 bucks an hour is NOT big money. It's pretty low. It will get you going. Don't get an ordinary job and finance an expensive car--you WILL regret it.

  933. Well put! I could say the same thing about How Far Shallow Takes You, from the Canadian punk band Gob. Very dark and brooding, but incredibly well-done.

  935. YESSSS! Malignant Narcissism! I like cars but don't even own one anymore, back when I was young and into cars (~20 to 25 years ago) the sheer toxicity really fucked with me. Bitching, whining, and INCESSANT theft and vandalism. I had an '87 RX-7 Turbo II, 10 years old when I bought it in 1997, constantly stolen and vandalized--even including shit like people actually removing the cat converter and replacing it with a blocked one, removing ball joints and replacing then with old worn-out ones that were ready to fail, removing the ENTIRE braking system and replacing it with worn-out junk, and the ultimate: Actually REMOVING the fucking CLUTCH, and replacing it with a junk one! That must have been a HELL of a lot of hard work, just to waste somebody else's hard work! Cars did teach me a lot about human nature though, my old RX-7 really taught me what pathetic losers people are--and how much sheer hard work people are willing to put into being pathetic losers, instead of getting a JOB and maybe earning a decent car for themselves, they put years of hard work into wasting MINE. Absolute true story. Look people, it's STILL just a CAR. For Christsakes.

  937.  @Leonhart_93  I doubt it, there are probably plenty. It's just that guys by and large are neither particularly attractive nor do most of them earn very high incomes. Modern day life is very expensive, a woman isn't going to marry a guy if her life is going to be a struggle and that goes double if the guy is no 'catch.' It probably doesn't matter too much if she actually likes having him around--which is probably pretty rare too, since boys & girls are different :)

  951. Passenger jets must have more than one engine for safety. They sometimes do fail, but not very often. When it happens it's unsettling for the passengers but for the plane itself it's almost always so uneventful as to be pretty much trivial. They pick a convenient airport and land the plane. Because of the enormous number of flight hours every year, passenger jet engines fail from time to time, and for the most part it's no big deal.

  952.  @evilisforbidden3981  Interesting perspective, I tend to agree with you. Life is found in... Life, not in books. On the other hand, books can be an effective way for people to store and retrieve information that you might be able to use to develop various skills and abilities, gain some ideas to pursue, or otherwise go about getting something done and generally making life happen in your life. Think of books as a kind of hard disk that doesn't need electricity. It's a form of data storage. But, to claim that "reading a book" is, in and of itself, somehow virtuous or intrinsically valuable simply because you're doing it is nonsense. Oh, you "read a lot of books"? The NUMBER of books you read in such-and-such a timeframe is greater than mine? Ok, I access my hard disk more times per second than you do. I keep the bigger program files on an SSD, and use the hard disk for bulk storage. I defragment that bitch from time to time as well! So, there, too! :)

  971.  @VR_Wizard  No, hydrogen has ultra-low energy density. It's the lowest of the low. Liquid hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, Diesel fuel & jet fuel have extremely high energy density. They're also very convenient to use because they're liquid over a wide range of temperatures. And, they're cheap. That's why they use them. Hydrogen is the exact opposite--very inconvenient and very low energy density. It must be refrigerated to stay in liquid form, which might be doable (and necessary!) for airplanes, but isn't practical for cars, which is why fully electric cars use batteries instead of hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen's main advantage is that it's non-toxic and produces very low pollution when burned in an engine. It also works with hydrogen fuel cells. To power a small airplane with a rechargeable battery pack is a nifty idea, and it's fine for primary flight training and maybe very short (mostly recreational) flights. But, the battery is too heavy and doesn't store enough energy for long-haul flights, not even close.

  972. It boils down to a basic principle of engineering: The more complex you make any mechanism, the greater the chance of failure. When someone's in your house and fucking with your mind, your family and your ass, and you need your gun to go "Bang!", but instead, it goes, "System error! Please re-install drivers! For further information, contact tech support at 1-800-YOU-ARE-FUKT, available 8AM to 5PM Monday to Friday!" Well, that just doesn't cut it for a defensive tool.

  974. I used to play with rotaries, they're neat little gadgets and quite ingenious, but you're still better off with a piston engine. The lower thermal efficiency is a direct result of the Wankel's greater combustion chamber surface area, and that's it. Nothing to do with plug location, port timing or location etc. Sealing was very good on RX-7 engines, but of course they had to use oil injection, and that in conjunction with high fuel consumption means that emissions compliance is that much harder to achieve. And frankly, a high specific fuel consumption and difficulty reaching emissions requirements will kill a powerplant for use in cars--simple as that. If you like funky power systems in your cars, have a fascination with rotating machinery for whatever reason, want to drive something really zippy, and have the dough to back it up--buy a Tesla :)

  975.  @ben156  Actually, storing energy in lithium-based batteries is extremely efficient--almost 100%! So is converting it to mechanical power with an appropriate motor. But, the battery pack is big and very heavy, and it isn't really cost effective yet.

  982. Stairway's not a bad tune. I'd be happy enough with myself if I had written it, but Jeezuz is it ever over-rated as all unholy Hades. Now... truly epic songs, those that deserve the title... Telegraph Road by Dire Straits. That one's worth the fuss--yet no-one makes a fuss over it like Stairway. The aesthetic craftsmanship of the song speaks for itself; that's the way it works for the REALLY good shit. But, Stairway is not bad at all.

A big fucking fuss over a stupid plant that people smoke and get a little buzz. Get the fuck over it you sanctimonious little shitheads, and run the fucking country instead of making a huge fuss over a bit of leafy green shit. The effects of pot smoking are so inconsequential that it's not worth belaboring in politics or legislation. It's a beyond-trivial issue. Of course you shouldn't drive on it, but even a total pothead with half a brain knows that. But imagine if there was a huge fuss over someone sitting at home and having 2 or 3 beers! It's essentially the same thing.

  986. If you're generally happy, and have what you need to count on a reasonably happy life in the future, then your life hasn't been that hard. Nobody's life is 'easy' except for people born into wealth. Your not the only person that works for a living.

  987. There's a misguided delusion that humans should not fuck until they're roughly 25, have at least one degree, and are already hard at work paying their mortgages. Wake up shit-for-brains losers--humans at roughly the ages 12 to 14 are DESPERATE to fuck. And I don't mean 'curious', I mean DESPERATE. Get out of denial about being human. Humans fuck--it's just life, and it doesn't happen when your parents, teachers, bureaucrats, or other joyless, stuffy losers approve. When you feel like fucking, it's nature's way of letting you know it's time to fuck.

  992. I find it very hard to believe that any modern fighter would end up as a 'turkey'. They already know how it will perform and handle before they build the first prototype! Aero engineering is not a shot in the dark--they already know what they're building even before they actually build the first one. I'd assume everyone knows that, but if you didn't, now you do. They're not going to build junk, especially not at that cost. That being said, the unit cost certainly is insane. You'd think they'd just refine and update the already outstanding F-16 fighter design, and build fresh ones. A bit of modernization and you have a world-class fighter good for decades--better engine, radar, that full-visibility helmet, radar-absorbent coating, and you're good to go--at what, about 1/4 of the cost of the F-35?
    1
  993. After all the chit chat... More VRAM is always better even on "good entry level" cards like the 1060, because modern games use a lot of VRAM. When you run out, the system starts swapping graphics textures to the system RAM, which causes the dreaded stuttering and general FPS drop. Synthetic benchmarks and quick gaming tests (even at high detail settings) don't show this--you have to move around in the game world, so that all your VRAM gets used. So, blow the extra $50, and get the 6GB card. If all you want is a 3GB one, there are many excellent used cards with 3GB that are every bit as good and cost less.

  995. When dealing with someone who's already been arrested several times, why didn't one officer (who's more verbiose and can keep the guy's attention) deal with the perp up front, while the other officer just casually walks out of his field of view, draws his gun and keeps it ready? If the guy is known to be violent, why didn't one officer get ready to shoot right away? It doesn't mean he has to shoot him, it just means if the guy draws/runs or what have you, one of the officers is already ready to go after him without having to pause for a split second to get his gun out.

My life came to a crashing halt when I was severely tortured by the police when I was 11 years old. Those people are the sickest of sick fucks.

People can be made to do awful things against their will by the use of physical torture.

Pushrod 4-cylinder, manual, no trip computer or even a tachometer!, no A/C, no stereo, no airbags, no USB/Bluetooth or phone interface, no backup camera, no plush interior trim, no buttons and screens and crap for power-adjustable trivia. Just a good car that's JUST A GOOD CAR. No such thing exists because even people on welfare wouldn't want to buy it--and they couldn't afford it anyway. So they just use their welfare to deal drugs and buy a used BMW :)

Remember that the cops get paid to nab you when you're driving intoxicated, they probably don't mind too much because it helps them pass the time so they can get home and get drunk :) The best time to enjoy your bud is when you get home from work, especially on Friday. I really miss being employed for that reason! Never mind earning a living, it's the 'blissful exhaustion' on Friday at quitting time. It enhances the weed high especially when you're sober all week and never toke on work nights. It makes it SO much better and makes the enjoyment of music damn near transcendent. I've been tempted to find a job just for that one reason. Never mind earning money, just that feeling of magic on Friday night, weed buzz kicking in, a good CD in the stereo, and as Metallica sang "nothing else matters."

  1093. No, what you're describing might be PTSD or anxiety but not antisocial personality disorder. People who are antisocial are often very arrogant and aggressive, so a lot of people idolize them and follow them like a cult--especially young people. A person who is very antisocial (hardcore criminal, such as a serial rapist or gangstalker) usually does not live in isolation. People who are assholes always have lots of company because there are so many of them!

Strangely enough, I don't think the Ramones ever had much in the way of commercial success in their heyday either. Really successful punk bands like the Offspring and Green Day are the exception more than the rule.

  1099. Actually cars themselves are mostly nothing special. It's the work of the human mind that made them possible and is the amazing part. The car itself isn't even conscious. There are nice cars out there but you buy them with money like any other product. Enjoy driving when you're old enough though! It lasts a few years before it becomes ordinary and mundane mostly, but driving can still be enjoyable when you're old like me (47.) Cars can be interesting but keep in mind that they're somebody's work--and the real work isn't just styling, it isn't just stuffing in a more powerful engine than most other cars have. It's of a highly technical nature and is called automotive engineering. There's much, much more to it than just the way it looks and having more power than everybody else--but those are the two things that the car hobby is mostly all about.

  1100. Just for the record, voice to skull or "V2K" isn't done by satellite. It's a hand-held device, you point it at whoever you want to communicate with and talk into the microphone, and the person on the other end hears it in their head. It's voice-modulated microwave, sort of like normal AM/FM radio but the frequency is much higher and your brain detects it by itself, no radio receiver and speaker/headphones are needed to hear it--just your own brain. it's been around for many decades and isn't much more "high tech" than normal radio transmitters. There are tons of them around. A good electronics hobbyist might be able to build one at home.

  1103. Quite a nice looking girl, but I wish that at least one of them would just say "I like having and spending tons of money and I don't like working for it." That would sum it all up nicely instead of all the gassy ass jibba-jabba. Donald Trump himself would probably at least be man enough to say "I like premium ass, and being able to indulge in it is one of the benefits of being a billionaire."

  1104. Not to come across as a callous dickhead, but considering how much bread this cat has made I'm having a rough time understanding why he'd be too bent out of shape over having permission from somebody else to work for a living! Especially when you consider that license or not, anyone receiving therapy from him is probably aware that he's probably qualified to do it at least as much as any "real" clinical psych with the paperwork to say so! Hell, I've been to plenty of psychs in my life and most of them are a joke, they do more harm than good. I'm sure Dr. Peterson knows how to avoid fucking a person's mind up even more than it already is, and if he's in the mood for it, he might even be able to do some good. Google says Jordie is worth around 10 million bucks. Let's say he's worth 2 or 3 million because Google always seems to exaggerate this sort of deal. I guess he'll just have to figure out how to live off it.

  1108. Easy. Don't croak. By and large your lifespan is up to genetics and good luck. People smoke, drink, fuck, and live to over 100. People are health-and-workout freaks and croak in their 30s or even 20s. You don't control it that much. You have a small influence on your own lifespan, maybe a small double digit percentage. Health food, exercise, and lifelong health-freak stuff determine whether or not you live to be 70 or 80, not 45 or 110.

  1109. In Canada, ALL degrees are useful. They're useful for bragging about getting "your degree" so you can be "successful" because you worked hard to get "your degree." Most of them get government jobs, 100+ thousand a year and crank up the cost of living for Canadians that actually PRODUCE wealth in the private sector. You know, all those stupid losers that never got "their degree." Oh---WIAT, you never got "your degree"?! Oh, that's such a shame, what one EARTH are we going to do about all those poor failures that never WORKED HARD to get "their degree" and have to PRODUCE WEALTH to EARN a living?! Poor, poor uneducated filth. It's just so sad, if only they weren't such losers they would have gotten THEIR DEGREE.

  1110. As long as it looks cool, who cares about the details? Look kids, these are machines designed to KILL PEOPLE AND DESTROY THINGS. They are weapons of war. As a flying buff since I was a little kid, the really important part is that it looks cool, goes fast and turns tight. All the rest are just trivial details. In an actual full-scale real-world conflict, they will just use nuclear weapons and the performance and capabilities of fighter jets are beyond irrelevant. That stuff is only really important in video games. The very best fighter plane, the F-15, was built a heck of a long time ago and real-world use of the F-15 is still the ULTIMATE. It doesn't matter if another fighter plane is "better." They will use nuclear weapons.

Here in Canada there is no defense against police, even if they're actually just thugs that mean you harm and you MUST stop them or suffer torture. Canada is screwed in that regard, some of our police are basically just terrorists and nothing more. How on Earth (or at least in Florida) do you prove to the judge that blasting the cops with a shotgun was justified?

I'm not a Trudeau supporter, I'm neither for him nor against him. Politics leaves me cold and is mostly irrelevant in my life.

  1134. If you only want to get paid for what you do and not what you pretend to appear to make someone kind of think you might be sort-of looking like you're doing, you might want to try certain kinds of trade work. Welding, machining, heating/air conditioning, electrical, auto mechanics--that kind of stuff. Problem is that trade work is very boring and the pay is low. If you're getting the job done well and doing so consistently and quickly without screwing up the work (quality, productivity, speed) then they'll probably fuck off and let you work without getting up your ass over trivial things and treating you like a kid in Kindergarten--you'll eventually just be left alone to work. You have to WORK, though. No dog fucking or you'll be pounding pavement looking for another job--and you'll be doing it with a black mark on your file. Oh yeah, they also still pay you by the hours you clock in. That's just how it's done.

  1138. It's worthwhile keeping in mind that there is no way to quantify something like self-reported happiness, largely because it means different things to different people. One person has a normal job, house, kids, loads of debt, and self-reports as being happy. Another person has exactly the same life, and self-reports as being miserable. But, they both function in life exactly the same way. A better way of saying it is "are you living your life in accordance with your own principles and reaching your own self-recognized potential." That's FAR more meaningful than asking "are you happy?"

  1142. Higher education is not a right, it's a very expensive privilege. If you aren't disciplined enough to handle paying off your student debt, you'll never be able to cope with the massive workload of a professional career. So, don't waste your time in university. Why should everyone have to flog themselves at work to pay extra taxes for YOUR basket-weaving degree, and then pay even more taxes so YOU can get your Master's degree in the study of the sex life of the june bug, followed by even MORE taxes so you can get your PhD in the study of the effects of cannabis consumption on video game design aesthetics, just so you can work at corner gas station afterward?

  1143. Don't forget: If your car didn't accelerate faster than the other guy's car, it's "cheating." It's using a turbo, that's not fair. Or it has an aftermarket cam or other engine mods, that's not fair. Or it even just has a better power-to-weight ratio right from the factory, that's not fair. It's not REAL speed if the other guy out-accelerates yours! It's ALWAYS some gimmick or, some workaround that's basically cheating. You don't really "know speed," you're just a cheater :) Cars can be cool but a lot of the mindsets & worldviews of car nuts are not!

  1147. Modern CPUs have really tiny transistors (single-digit nm) and run WHOPPING high voltages to reach BS clock speeds. I just built a Ryzen 7 5800X system, 7nm process, and it was boosting to ~1.45V at 4.85 GHz! I reduced the clock speed to 4.7 GHz and voltage to about 1.25V, it's still a little high for my taste! At least it runs cool now on a heavy stress test on all 16 threads, but the voltage still strikes me as being a little high for a 7nm chip. Core voltages are AWFULLY high because that's how you get absolute max clock speeds which are essentially for selling CPUs. They always came across as being excessively high to me. Hell, the damn 5800X will probably run at well over 4.0 GHz on only 1 volt.
    1
  1148.  @roflmows  That's why you get the chips you need first. Then, go home and burn. That way you're not wasting the buzz standing around in a corner store staring at bags of chips like some crazy nutbar :)

  1151. At one time a car was a car. They all had pretty much the same control layout. Nowadays if you want a manual (lever) parking brake you probably have to look for a sports car. Same thing with manual transmissions. Strangely enough though, our 2015 RAV4 has the old school parking brake lever. No idea about the newest ones.
    1
  1152.  @WheelsAndHelmets  Yes, that's the major reason I prefer the lever myself--it isn't only on or off, you can vary it. Parking brakes also used to be called the "emergency brake", but with an on-off button you cannot vary the braking force which makes the parking brake useless for stopping if the main service brakes fail. Of course, car brakes have been so reliable for maybe 50ish years that it makes little difference nowadays.

  1153. Look at how you communicate with people over the Internet, though. Instead of having to meet people face to face, you just use your computer. I doubt you generate your own electricity, either. You probably also heat your house with a furnace instead of going out and chopping firewood :) As people get "lazier", life gets more and more expensive. That include automatic transmissions, which are more expensive so you have to work longer/harder to pay for them. It's not about laziness at all, it's the exact opposite!

  1174. The turbo is NOT spooled up when the car is stopped and the start-stop system shuts the engine off. Oil does not boil in turbos, cooling water does that but not oil. Whenever the start-stop system does its thing, the turbo is not being used because the throttle is closed or nearly closed.
    1
  1175.  @The_Noticer.  Turbos are also too expensive for economy cars :) Heat isn't the problem, the turbo is designed to cope with it. Also, the stop-start system doesn't shut the engine off when decelerating the car, it does it after the car has already STOPPED. A turbo car with stop-start would just have a few seconds of time delay before shutting off the engine, that's all.
    1
  1176.  @The_Noticer.  You can do that if you wish, idling the engine for maybe 10 seconds is probably fine for a street driven car. You aren't exactly going 100 MPH when you roll down your street and park the car in the driveway.

Still cool that people enjoy the show, but a few hundred years probably ain't gonna cut it. As technology becomes indescribably advanced and far beyond anything that's recognizable today, which it will, the biggest hurdle to overcome won't be newer and better technology. It will be preventing our species from using that technology to annihilate itself all in the name of power and politics. Even with older technology, humanity has come very close to eradicating itself from the known universe on a few occasions. That technology is nuclear weaponry. Think of what kind of threat there will be to the world when technology is so advanced that the most powerful nuclear weapons are a total joke.

It's doesn't even matter if they get married when they're really thin and 19 years old--they fatten up like a good farm cow.

  1210. "I left my testicles in Montréal" That sounds like a great title for a Canadian punk rock album! Maybe the Forgotten Rebels could use it! North America is a continent, not a country. Canada, the USA and Mexico are all in North America--the continent belongs to all of us. And there aren't anywhere near enough Canadians to "infiltrate" the USA, and Americans are too heavily armed for us to bother anyway which was kinda the whole idea maybe ~200+ years ago :) hehehe

  1212. Times have changed. Instead of wanting to be a top guitarist, young people want to grow up to have top social media presence. Instead of a smash hit album, they dream of having X number of views and/or likes by the time they're 35. Fair enough. Bob Dylan himself had a thing to say about "The Times".

  1216. Some people think minding your own business is disrespectful because you aren't paying attention to them instead. When you say you're doing something and ask them to leave you be, they say "Make Me." I consider that grounds for justifiable homicide, but the judge may disagree.

  1217. Why are people so concerned about it? Who cares? Married people with children are miserable too. The only time children bring so-called "meaning" into your life is when they get a top-paying job (for boys) or marry a guy with a top-paying job (girls), and most of them will not be able to do that anyway. So, you're just highly likely to be disappointed. Getting your own life is always Goal #1. Even if it's only cheap beers and some video games. It doesn't have to be being top dog with the biggest house. But, it has to be YOUR life.

Plenty of people are very, very sick indeed and will even approach you with belligerent intentions if you're open carrying. And yes, there really are people like that. Not all of them are high on meth, either--it's just some people's worldview.

  1250. Here it is a nutshell: Car and airplanes have conflicting, actually opposite, requirements. Cars have to travel on the ground for very long distances, so they must have rugged, durable suspension and tires. They need a durable steering mechanism. They have to have large, durable brakes. They need a very rigid body for driving on real-world roads without coming apart. That makes the car heavy. The wheels are powered directly for best efficiency and low noise. Airplanes have to be very light. They only travel very short distances on the ground. They need a propeller (or jet engine) for powered flight. Building one vehicle that can both fly, and be highway-capable (and legal) is entirely possible. But due to those conflicting requirements, it will be extremely expensive--but it won't be a very good car, and it won't be a very good airplane. You're better off having a plane only for flying, and a separate car for driving. So, you can have a flying car if you want one. But it sucks for both driving and flying, and costs a fortune--it costs more than having a separate car and plane, and its performance sucks in either mode, especially for the price!

  1258. Depends on where you live. Here in Canada it's illegal to have a gun without a license and very heavily restricted if you do, i.e. never, EVER load it until you're at the shooting range or out hunting. So, you may never remove the trigger lock or load your gun until you're actually at the range or otherwise immediately ready to fire it. Pistols, especially, may never be unlocked or loaded until you're physically inside the boundaries of a designated pistol range--nowhere else can a pistol be loaded in Canada. The only exception is removing the trigger lock for dismantling/cleaning your guns. You absolutely may NOT use a firearm to defend yourself in Canada (people sometimes do--it's a severe criminal charge, even if you're actually found not guilty because you were defending yourself at home, you'll still be charged with a very serious firearms offense--usually losing your license for life, and having to do some time.) No other use of a firearm is legal here.

Calling something good and desirable simply because it's natural is pure hogwash!

  1264. The concept of "Ghost Guns" is irrelevant in the USA, they're making too much of a fuss over it. A gun owned by a US Citizen isn't a bigger deal just because it was made by themselves, versus one that was made by somebody else. You have that right, and it comes from the weapons owned by the citizens themselves--not from the government.

  1267.  @thomasbayer1843  By "games" do you mean the video kind? Or memorizing hockey or baseball statistics for example? I hope I didn't come across as condescending toward your sense of human spirituality, it's just that organized religion is not, and never has been, about spirituality. It's about power over others--it's mind control by brainwashing. Religious people often have a hard time understanding that and when some of them do, they invariably end up abandoning their religion.

  1268.  @darkonone5158  What do you mean by 'fighting'? do you mean you enjoy discussing things with people you don't agree with (debating a topic on its merits), or do you mean physical fighting? Because people that love starting physical fights are almost invariably people with extremely low intelligence and also have ASPD.

  1269. Manual transmission can make driving more fun when you're in the mood for it. In all fairness, the new automatics are VERY good indeed. They're almost as efficient as a manual now and expensive cars with automatics are faster now.

  1276. If you consider thinking/cognition to be receiving information, storing it and recognizing patterns and/or processing information based on logic and reason, then YES--computers certainly can think. It's just that computers cannot wonder, they can't be curious or creative in the human sense because they don't have any imagination. We use computers because they're ultra-fast for certain kinds of thinking, but they do not have insight or any sort of creativity or imagination since they're pure logic machines. Human minds are not--we're much more versatile than that. So, computers have their uses and they're very fast, but their ability to think is as limited as it is fast.
    1
  1277.  @dannygjk  Probably yes, but what I'm getting at is that computers today do not have the ability to arbitrarily conceive possibilities and place human value on the subjective experience of pursuing them. In other words, computers have no imagination.

  1284. Teslas are extremely expensive, this means that the slightest damage is extremely expensive to repair. It's because of the cost of the car.

  1286. Or, it can be about staying in the house and doing what inspires you--creating good art, starting a business, heck, even just getting good at fixing your leaky plumbing if that's what you enjoy. The notion that life is all about "networking" (the pursuit of popularity and large quantities of social connections) is largely a young female thing. There's nothing wrong with it, but not every person on the planet is a young, average-minded female. There are also young females that aren't interested in being popular, even though their whole world around them tells them repeatedly that it's what life is all about.

  1287. Bows (including crossbows) are great fun if you're willing to put in the time and effort to get good. It's not as easy as it looks when you haven't tried it. If you have to fight for your life, a gun is the only option. Bows are just about useless for self defense, even if you're good at hunting with them. The time between shots is too long.
    1
  1288. I've asked myself that for many years. My guess is antisocial people are valuable to those in power because they are willing to do awful things to others in order to gain power over them (gangstalking.)

  1291. I'm not sure "kids" are having guns "given" to them. Guns are fairly expensive, who's going to "give" them to "kids?" On the other hand, if children are not raised around firearms and have access to them, how are they going to be able to defend themselves against adults?
    1
  1292. Anything will do as long as it works and you're a decent shot with it (and most importantly, lightning-fast on the draw.) I'm all in favor of firearms for personal defense. I just have no idea why Americans are so hung up on specific makes and models of guns. It doesn't matter if it's Armalite, S&W, Glock, Remington etc. as long as you hit who you're shooting at. If it works well, even a Hi-Point is just fine, and no worse than ultra-expensive "boutique" guns.

Bikes and cars are no different.

  1298. Times have changed and the only thing minimum wage jobs are for is making more money than welfare. People are willing to work like dogs for a pittance now because everyone just borrows money for everything and never expects to pay for it.

  1299. Being extraordinarily good-looking, for females, is worth a hell of a lot of money.

Just how the world works.

  1302. I tend to think of the nightclub scene as being exclusively for people who are at least fairly young, and extremely attractive looking. Everyone else there is just fooling themselves. Even extraverts. Clubs aren't about music and friendliness so much as they're about the image-based pecking order, and a whole lot of people that make it the central focus of their whole lives are unaware that they don't even really belong there. Bars are a bit different, anyone can go to the bar and get shitfaced. Just find a bar where you can be drunk in public without getting your ass kicked too often, and there's "your" bar. That's kinda the point. Avoid both, and your liver and wallet will thank you for it :)

Nobody's life is perfect but Jordan's life has been a BREEZE compared to mine and I don't have his judgmental attitude and I don't insist that life is pointless unless it is miserable. Yes, having kids is a heavy burden and that's why I never wanted them, I have no idea why Jordan did with his worldview.

  1315. Affection is awesome, it's a shame that it's really just an illusion. It's nature's way of trying to trick us into making copies of our DNA. Being infatuated with someone is a wild experience. I haven't had it happen to me since I was pretty young, and I'm old now (43) and I miss it, even though it really fucks you up. It's still just nature trying to get us to have kids though, that's its only purpose, the survival of the species, but man do I miss it. Unfortunately, it depends heavily on physical attraction and youth. Still, affection is probably the single most meaningful thing a person can experience, and what a mighty shame that it's youth-oriented and only temporary.

  1323. Glad you like it :) It's a small step in the right direction for the world of the future. You're obviously very wealthy but Tesla, and other companies, need to develop practical, long-range zero-emissions cars that working stiffs can afford and the Tesla Model 3 is absolutely NOT it. At about 50 thousand Canadian dollars it's still outrageously expensive and they need to build one with similar range for about 20 grand. When they can do that, they will take the world by storm because that's what the world REALLY needs. Ultra-expensive luxury cars are fine, but to change the way the world uses energy and to minimize emissions, they have to build what everyone who works for a living can afford, not just a tiny number of people while the other 99% of the world keeps using internal combustion. It's a great start though!

  1330. And he would be wrong, because Canadians by definition actually ARE Americans because we live in North America. Just like Mexicans :) The word "American" ultimately just means a person that lives in the Western-most land mass. But in popular usage we use it to describe people that live in the United States. The linguistics themselves are trivial and mostly irrelevant, we all know what somebody means when they describe themselves as American. As a Canadian, I consider the underlying meaning of being American, someone from the United States of America, as having two fundamental meanings: 1) You accept tyranny, corruption and outright criminality as basic elements of normal everyday life. 2) Through the human spirit and will to overcome, you DEFY them in order to live and let live, become the best person you can be despite government and/or criminal bullshit (often the same thing, but not always.) A lot of this spirit of defiance against government and criminal bullshit requires extreme violence, which is the only useful way of defying bullshit (i.e. deliberate interference with legitimate personal pursuits--the will to better yourself.) As a Canadian, our country sadly lacks this spirit of life and defiance against bullshit. I consider Canada to be a very mediocre country. Yet, I have never lived in the United States, keep that in mind if you're American. Unfortunately many of our American neighbours seem to feel that their country is so mired in bullshit that there's no way for any mortal human to dig their way out. I'm an atheist, but if I were religious I would pray for America. Canada went to hell a long time ago and there's no hope for us, not in my own lifetime anyway. America still embodies for me the spirit of defiance against bullshit, with "bullshit" being defined as deliberate interference with legitimate (non-antisocial) personal pursuits and the overall PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE. Canada is all about bullshit, and the desperate pursuit of comfort at the expense of the masses. America, for me, represents the DEFIANCE against bullshit to get to what's real--the PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE.

That's why they hired you to fly enormous quarter-billion dollar airliners. In other words, YOU'RE the Sky-Daddy here, not some make-believe, well... sky-daddy. Flight control systems and aircraft engines generally are NOT designed to be operated by supernatural forces. The reason why they're engineered this way is for safety reasons. The pilots on board have sole control of the aircraft because it prevents interference from outside sources, who may be preoccupied with creating various universes, Battles-of-the-Gods, designing new life forms etc. and do not have the attention required to fly the aircraft safely. In other words, you're on your own. Put down the bible and fly the damn thing already :)

  1345. This Mike Lee guy sounds like a thoughtful and articulate man. But, why is it that whenever a government official speaks, I always get the creepy feeling that I'm being manipulated? That everything out of his mouth is doubletalk or that he has a hidden agenda, even though he's going out of his way to come across as honest and forthright? I don't even live in the States, I'm Canadian. I've long ago given up on Canada, we're just a pathetic cesspool of political correctness, corruption and psychopathy, so when government sorts open their mouths I just automatically block it out and dismiss it as manipulative bullshit. But, Mike here seems to be making an effort to not let that happen. Still... What's this guy's fucking agenda? How is he choosing his words and crafting his sentences to get MORE POWER OVER THE PEOPLE? After all, he seem to be saying it himself: That's what government is all about.

  1346. You seem to forget that cars are very complex engineered products and you must DESIGN a car before you set up the factory to build it, and you must set up that factory before you can build it, and on top of that you must maintain the assembly line equipment while it's running.

Dealing with lots of other people's shit is a waste of time even for extraverts--but they get some popularity out of it. When introverted people are at their best, they're much more likely to be motivated by other priorities besides image and social position.

With me so far? Eventually, one person figures out how to speculate and/or invest and makes a fortune. You do not prosper in life by working hard just on your own. Working like a dog is how you barely get by. But over multiple generations, with ONE extraordinary individual in the family, it's possible to make a true fortune. Pretty sure that's how Bill Gates and Elon Musk did it. Finally, my screen name reveals my fondness for a certain American punk rock band.

  1415.  @fordid42  What you just described is the opposite of who I am. Please get your head out of the sand. Much to my chagrin I'm a very conscientious person who wasted his life earning an honest living as a qualified tradesman (machinist.) An honest day's pay for an honest day's work is a fool's game. It eats up your time for little in return but getting by. When you come from a relatively poor family like myself, there's no way to get ahead except for working at a brutally demanding professional career and doing nothing with your life but work. Then, when you're very old, you'll be well ahead of the game. My father did it that way. He's a millionaire. He still charges me rent out of my welfare check to punish me for not working hard enough although I never did much else. I'm 47. Get with the real world and realize that an honest day's pay for an honest day's work is a fool's game. You don't get ahead by playing by the rules unless you're extremely fortunate, and good fortune cannot be banked on because it's a roll of the dice and completely out of your control. I don't advocate fucking people over for money and my own personal disposition precludes it anyway, but if I thought I could get away with a life of crime and be successful at it, you're damn right I would have done it. It's simply not in my temperament, that's all.

They store very little energy for their size and weight compared to batteries, and that's why batteries are used for energy storage in cars instead of capacitors.

  1427. The Great Canadian Paradox: To live a minimalist lifestyle in Canada, you have to be wealthy :)
    1
  1428.  @MakeThatChange  "Minimalist" means living a small life as cheaply as possible so that you don't have to work yourself to death, and have time and money for better things. Rent a small cheap apartment, or buy a very small house. Buy a used car that's very small, and a base model with no fancy features, no power-adjustable anything, no fancy stereo etc. Just a basic cheap car. Cook all your food from scratch using inexpensive ingredients. Buy cheap clothes, possibly used. That way, you don't have to work like a dog all the time, and you'll have time and energy for actually living, instead of just working all the time, and you don't have to worry about drowning in debt all the time either. Problem is, Canada is so expensive that people can't afford a minimalist lifestyle. Rent/mortgage, bills, & insurance for your home & vehicle? There goes all your money, hope you like working on the weekends.
    1
  1429.  @MakeThatChange  Neither would I, and that's why I've been canned from some jobs :) In Canada you can get really bent out of shape about the whole so-called "work ethic" thing. Work ethic just means you shouldn't have any life outside of working. I doubt it's any different in many other countries.

  1430. I'd suspect that the reason why Tesla cars have extremely stiff frames, is because electric cars are very quiet. So, you don't want tons of interior squeaks and rattles.

  1433. Rick, you're showing your age. Video games are for Gen X! Gen Z and newer aren't hung up on video games. They're into social media. It isn't about what music rocks, it isn't about what video games kick ass. It's about the NUMBER OF LIKES. Social media allows people to delude themselves into thinking they're more 'socially desirable' (popular) than they really are. Music and video games CANNOT compete with the feeling of being IMPORTANT. Psychologists call it epidemic narcissism. Bob Dylan simply said "The times, they are a-changin'." Both are right. Music simply cannot compete with social media presence because of the time and effort it takes to get good, whereas social media depends only on your appearance and how much money your parents are willing to spend on your clothes and other consumer products. Why bother with the time and effort to develop a talent when you can climb the ladder much, MUCH faster with almost zero effort as long as you look a certain way and wear the right crap?

That's all I know about Switzerland. Any insights and/or comments from anyone who has actually lived there for maybe a couple decades? Again, I'm a typical (ignorant) Canadian, the kind of person a typical ignorant Swiss person might think is normal for a Westerner. What's it really like? Let's hear it.

It's about the matching of female youth attractiveness with male wealth and sometimes handsomeness, and that's it. It's SUPPOSED to be degrading because it IS degrading. The only people who can have a "fun" date are gorgeous young and wealthy--but, then it's not a date in the usual sense. It's just fun.

It has a LOT of street gangsters and a subculture of degeneracy, people taking pride in being antisocial and committing rape, theft and vandalism. Canada just hides its problems and/or ignores them, that's all.

Because of its low speed, shooting down an A-10 is very easy. As for the Avenger cannon, it's mostly hype now because modern tank armor is just about immune to it. The A-10's cannon is fine for soft targets like trucks and what have you but is almost useless against modern tanks. They use laser-guided bombs instead of the cannon.

  1472. Ultimately, how hard you work is irrelevant. All that matters is what value you produce. Diesel engines have much better efficiency (low fuel consumption) for their output power, but they also require very expensive emission control systems so they produce low pollution. That's why the auto industry is going through all the trouble of developing electric cars, which is the only way of producing high power output along with the highest energy efficiency and zero emissions (pollution). The last remaining problem is that long-range electric vehicles are dreadfully expensive, which makes them impractical for everyday use today.
    1
  1473. I doubt it will be 10 years, more like 50-100 or even more when oil becomes very scarce. Using oil to make fuel for combustion engines is very cost-effective for each HP produced, which is why it is still the world's predominant propulsion system whereas electric power is more expensive and also less convenient for a lot of people. If you have the bread, go ahead and get an electric car. They're pretty cool, and give you a taste of the future and the possibilities it hold for zero-emission driving if you live in a part of the world where the electricity produced at night (or whenever you charge) comes from low or zero emission sources, like hydro or nuclear. If you just need wheels, the internal combustion engine predominates.

  1489. Smoking weed makes you cough like crazy sometimes, but it's probably still significantly less harmful than being drunk all the time. Weed can be self-limiting because you build up a tolerance to it if you smoke it too often. You have to lay off for a week or two to get the full buzz back. Alcohol doesn't do that--it's just drink, drank, drunk day after day after day.

  1491. I'm Canadian, does FHP mean Florida Highway Patrol? If so, when the cop took your own gun and pointed it at you, he committed criminal offenses, he violated your Florida-recognized Constitutional right to KnBA (aka 2A) if you're 21 or older, and he brandished a weapon, against a private citizen (sweeping you with the gun muzzle.) Also, he vandalized your personal property by dropping it, and owes you a nice brand-new one that has NEVER been handled by a stupid fucking cop. For the trivial "offense" of driving a car at highway speed while driving on a highway, he committed FOUR very serious criminal offenses! 1) theft (it's your gun, he has his own and doesn't need yours, you have the RIGHT to have it) 2) brandishing (sweeping you with his or your gun) 3) criminal negligence (same as #2, but for different reasons) 4) vandalism of private property (damaging your gun by dropping it) ...but at least you got out of a speeding ticket! Finally, if Officer Pigshit there was a "Firearms Instructor", which he was NOT, he would have known better than to point it at you under ANY circumstances--not just checking to see if it was clear. He had to check because he didn't KNOW if it was clear--that's why he did it, and a firearms instructor, even a young and inexperienced beginner, would know that you NEVER, EVER DO THAT with the gun pointing at somebody!! It's like being a zitty ass teenager, learning to drive, and your driving instructor shows up DRUNK.

  1495. 10:42 The notion that PAL holders are less likely to break the law is really interesting to me. If you have a gun, it's easier for you to stop someone else from making you commit an offense.

With electric cars, your loss is your gain. In the case of the Tesla Roadster 2, however, they need to build and sell them before making a fuss over them. It doesn't matter if nobody can actually buy them, regardless of price.

  1531. Nothing special about the Model T. Any car engine can be modified to run on ethanol and you don't need to remove the engine from the car to do it, it's a carburetor that has been jetted for ethanol or a fuel injection system calibrated for it. Nothing unusual about it.
    1
  1532.  @PBVader  Interesting! I get that using the same ECU fuel map with bigger injectors corrects for the greater volume of ethanol needed over gas, so just swapping in bigger injectors is all you need to change to ethanol and you don't have to change the fuel map. So, straight ethanol has a much higher octane rating than gasoline but it has a longer burn time so you can't run your engine as fast? i.e. lower redline/upshifting at lower RPM just because of the different fuel?

There's enough pain and suffering in the world, why make it any worse and make my own life more expensive to boot? Just to prove a point, "Hey world, look at MEEEE, I'm so IMPORTANT and so RESPONSIBLE and so ADULT 'cause I produced a fucking baby I didn't want! Now I get to bore it to death with the heartbreaking drudgery of schoolwork for years and years so I can brag about its job title and how I'm a better parent than everyone else!"

In other words, NATO jumps ship and the Taliban completely take over. How is that any worse? Was the original Afghan government any less psychopathic than the Taliban? Now, the US government can find better things to do with their 10s of trillions of dollars, such as fixing things back home. Potholes, urban blight, general deterioration of infrastructure, working poor, gang fights, devilishly expensive healthcare, that sort of thing. Why waste that kind of cash on Afghanistan? It's a total shithole. Why the hell would anyone ever want to live there in the first place let alone have a family there? It isn't the USA's problem, let alone all of NATO! The only problem is if the terrorists end up controlling enough of the oil wealth to develop their own in-house nuclear weapons. Then we're all totally fucked.

  1576.  @Godshonestruth  I can't pray to anyone because I'm an atheist. I can't "try" to believe because I'm an atheist. There's no god to "save" me because I'm an atheist. I have absolutely nothing against religion, contrary to what some people might think. There's nothing inherently wrong with believing in a creator, a supernatural consciousness of some kind or another, no matter what word you would use to describe it. It's a human instinct, but not everyone has it and that's almost impossible to explain to people who do. What I always hear is that I "need" Jesus, not I don't because I'm not a Christian, even though I was kind of raised to be one and I've thought about it a lot. I don't need to "pray harder" because there's nothing for me to pray to. There's nothing wrong with that, either.

  1579. Actually, the high-performance electric RC racecars you're describing have been around since the 1980s, using brushless motors and lipo batteries. They weren't found all over in hobby shops though, you needed a computer with Internet access and you had to order them from China. in the mid-'80s I had a 450 size RC helicopter with a brushless motor that was powered by a 3-cell lipo battery, about 2.0Ah, 11.1 volts and shaped like a brick--pretty much exactly the same as today, complete with high-current power leads and plug, and smaller balance leads and plug for charging. There were also flybarless 3-axis gyroscopes becoming available back then too. All of it fairly cheap--if you knew how to order it from China online and had a PC to do it with. That was all about 40 years ago. It's been around forever--just not commonplace here until more recently (I live in Canada.)

  1585.  @nreweel6219  I've never lived in the States, but I wonder what would happen. A lot of Americans would undoubtedly turn in their guns. But, you'd have a lot of dead authorities too! Some of them would be unrecognizable after trying to take guns away from certain Americans, especially ones that have lived there for a few generations and have no intention of living defenselessly. They'd be shot to death and then beaten to a pulp just for a laugh. It's mostly BS, but there are certainly more than a few Americans that firmly believe in the notion of "Live Free Or Die", and have no problem with hosing down government officials with lead if they have a problem with that. Canada, on the other hand, is a lameass developing country with no principles other than extreme political correctness at all costs.

They call it "scoring", or "getting some", as if they actually seduced the girl and she consented or some such nonsense. Just kill them and be done with it.

  1596. That's a classic complaint. Pretty universal to driving. Limit's this, traffic's going that, keep up with the traffic and you're breaking the law, do the limit and you're impeding traffic flow. I've always maintained that they should just set an arbitrarily high speed limit, say, 90-100 MPH (or about 150 km/h here in Canada) and very rigidly enforce that. Going 10 over is a $10,000 fine and loss of license for 3 years, going 20 over is permanent loss of license and $50,000 fine, 30 over is 5 years in prison and loss of license and vehicle.) That way, the traffic can get a fucking move on like it's supposed to, but the speed LIMIT prevents people from ridiculously abusing the public highways. Canadian major highways (400 series) have a 100 km/h speed limit, which is about 60 MPH. It's ridiculous and everyone blatantly ignores it. 150 km/h would be much more realistic and reasonable as an actual speed LIMIT.

  1614. Plenty of guys that are arrogant and antisocial, even serial rapists, can attract plenty of women. "Personality" basically just means dominance. When they reach their post-wall life though (over 30 or thereabouts) the women outgrow their attraction to viciously antisocial males and will prefer guys with an intense drive to make money, yet are reasonably easily controlled (i.e. allow the woman to control all of the money, not just what she earns.)

Very high-profile means looser steering feel and a slight tendency to wander at highway speeds. Excessively low-profile tires give a very harsh ride and poor tolerance for real-world driving conditions such as potholes.

  1620. This always comes up among Canadians, and I've been as guilty of it as anyone, but Canada wouldn't be doing well for itself to design and develop it's own fighter jets anymore. It hasn't been that way since the Avro Arrow days (and no, there's no point in 'resurrecting' the Arrow, because it wouldn't be any good for anything today.) In a nutshell, it's actually cheaper for us to buy US-made fighters instead of developing them ourselves. That being said, the price of the F-35 is ridiculous for Canada. If Canada is willing to go with single-engine multirole fighters, buying F-16s would be a better bet--they'd cost us about 1/10th as much as the F-35. If we don't want to buy used aircraft, we could consider buying the design and tooling from the US, and producing our own F-16s, using US-built radar and avionics. But, attempting to develop our own fighter from scratch is a no-go.

  1626. With regards to vernacular, a turbo IS a type of supercharger. They were originally called "exhaust-driven turbosuperchargers" but that's too much yakety-yak for everyday use, so we just call them "turbos." Both of them do the same thing--they pressurize the intake manifold to increase airflow and fuel consumption, increasing power. The difference is the power source, the word "supercharger" usually refers to the compressor being powered off the crankshaft and "turbo" means the compressor is powered by an exhaust turbine. Turbos are more common because they're much more efficient, for a given boost pressure (and fuel consumption) the engine will produce more power because the turbo doesn't absorb power from the crankshaft like the supercharger does. Turbos have lag because when you put your foot down it takes a second or so for the turbo to speed up in order to produce air pressure (boost) and the shaft-driven supercharger does not have lag since it's powered directly from the engine's crankshaft. Other than that, they're functionally the same thing--they're both air compressors.

  1632. I guess this is going to sound pretty awful, but for those of you who have lived in El Salvador, or have family members living in El Salvador, I have a question. It sounds like life in your home country is absolute living hell. The gang problem has gotten so bad that life there is little but pain and misery, and any happiness you have is quickly destroyed by the gangs. So, why do you keep having families there? Why not just stop having kids? What's the point when life is absolute hell on Earth?

  1633. High-value men are very rare but remarkable even if only because they're extremely wealthy. High-value women are trivial. They're equally rare, but are only high-value because they're very young and very gorgeous. Big deal, their "value" will quickly deteriorate over time, and they won't even be really old yet! So, take all this high-value nonsense with a dump truck full of salt. If you're an HV male, your mega-bucks are still mega-bucks when you're old and ugly (if you were ever attractive at all.) No woman, even ugly ones, would have given you the time of day if it weren't for your money--even when you were young and handsome and you KNOW that if you're a man. If you're an HV woman, then ~95% of the time you're underage anyway. If you can keep it up well past the age of 18 then it's still purely genetic--and it's already on a downhill slide. You were born with the single most valuable commodity in all of human history: Female youth and beauty, but it ain't worth SHIT if you can't turn it into mega-bucks. So, both sexes are equally fucked, just in different ways.

  1642. So, what you're saying here, is that if you regularly clean and maintain your Chea-Pass (oh sorry, I meant, Hi-Point) pistol, it's actually a really great defensive weapon because it's extremely durable and reliable? Frankly, the whole driving-over-it thing made it look like you were trying to destroy it. With very expensive guns, people clean, oil and generally maintain them meticulously, so they're going to be pretty reliable if they're decently made. But, this puppy can be neglected and abused and still works. Looks like a fantastic-quality piece to me. Any other thoughts? How about putting 1,000 rounds through it and report back to us?

Remember that countries, by definition, are inhabited by humans. So, the USA isn't more fucked than other countries just because it's the USA. Human nature is fucked, not any specific country. Canada brags about being the world's greatest country, peaceful, civilized and friendly. As a born and bred Canadian I can assure you our country is a FUCKING SHITHOLE and we're also a developing country that's a dictatorship.

Everybody just expects drinkable running water, heated showers and flush toilets. We just assume that the building will have electricity. We've had our whole lives since we were tiny little kids revolve around this thing we call "driving", and just assume that roads exist to drive on. Where does fuel for the car come from? Well, it comes from the gas station of course! Gas stations have gas, it's just THERE to be bought, everyone knows that! Actually, all of these things are only modern conveniences and represent an absolutely enormous amount of human effort. Modern day life is insanely expensive, and we just expect it because we're used to it.

My mom wanted a car and that was the cheapest one she could find that wasn't an American brand :) Young people today often don't care about getting their driver's license because owning a car is just a massively expensive pain in the fcuking ass, that's all. Driving requires a bit of time and effort to learn and it's insanely expensive just to have transportation. Everybody today does everything online, from shopping, to seeing movies/shows, to even getting a ride (Uber/Lyft) so owning cars just cuts into the money that young people would otherwise spend on the latest most expensive smartphone and being fashionable. Cars just aren't cool anymore, even though they still build cool cars. It's much, much too expensive so it isn't considered desirable to many young people today who'd much rather drop $1,000+ on the latest phone.

I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but why this ONE type? I've fired AR-15s (never owned any) and they're no different than any other rifle, if there's anything unusual about them to me it's that they're usually chambered in a small round (5.56mm) and have soft recoil compared to something heftier. So, what gives?

  1666. Probably because most people, even young ones, don't really have friends anyway.

They do nothing but work, that's their entire lives! Not much point in being around others when your entire life revolves exclusively around the desperate pursuit of money. Guys do, in fact, get bored drinking beers and bragging about sex. Women do, in fact, get bored talking about clothes, babies, and houses and which other women are "jealous." When there's nothing to talk about, there's no point in having others around.

  1668. As a 47-year-old born and bred Canadian, what in the actual FUCK is so great about living here? I grew up being physically tortured by the police. I have no recollection of ANY time in my 47-year life when I wasn't a targeted individual. I would have left a long time ago but can't afford to. Canada fucking sucks ass. The only thing that's great about Canada is our musicians. From Ian & Sylvia to Sum 41, Canadian musicians fucking rock. Everything else about life here is pure concentrated police-state BULLSHIT.
    1
  1669. YES! You got it! The whole "male privilege" thing revolves around that in wartime, men have to die for stupid politics and in peacetime men have to pay for everything even if the woman makes more money than him :) So, guys get certain rights. By and large, men make more money than women (with notable exceptions) and that's often true today even though we haven't had a major world war since 1945.

That way you don't have everyone itching and nagging for the release, force it out too early with numerous bugs, and have everyone disappointed--and still have to work on it for another year. None of this day-1 patch nonsense either.

After decades of home invasions, attacks, and constant theft of personal effects, you're ready to kill a lot of people even if you're a pacifist like myself. I live in Canada and we have had absolutely incessant home invasions (including rape, theft, vandalism, aggravated assault, and even torture) for as long as I've been alive, 44 years now. For humans, killing is just a basic necessity of life. There's no freedom, dignity, or pursuit of happiness without killing people. It's just human nature.

They've probably dropped so many bombs in Afghanistan over the past couple decades now, that the whole country looks like the ass end of the moon. Just dust and craters everywhere. Shredded tents with dead terrorists' skeletons and camel guts splattered as far as the eye can see. I'm not sure how there are any terrorists left in Afghanistan, since both Canada and the USA have been bombing it halfway to Pluto over the years.

  1694. NO. No we do not. Jordan Peterson is the sort that think words and religion are the universal cure-alls for what ails humanity. He seems bright enough but is NOT cut out to lead Canada. When is the last time Jordan Peterson shot and killed anyone, even police? His entire life has been mostly academia and he is NOT cut out for politics even though psychologists are master manipulators. Jordan talks too fucking much and while politicians do things like that, they also have to have the power to stop corruption and it does NOT come from words or laws or woke bullshit. It comes from being a killer. You stop corruption by killing people, plain and simple and I have a hankering that Dr. Peterson isn't cut out for it. A national leader must be able to kill by his own hands. There is no real power without terror and blood, and if he has no real power then he cannot be Canada's leader. A good leader is bright, articulate, a great thinker and planner, very highly conscientious, immune to woke bullshit, detests abuse of power, has exceptional problem-solving skills, and is a KILLER. Because being a highly conscientious but cold-blooded KILLER is how you stop corruption.

  1716. BEST modern feature: Today's cars are just a hell of a lot better than anything built before them. Better handling and acceleration, better brakes, steering and suspension, last longer without rusting out, require fewer repairs, and are relatively maintenance-free for the most part outside of oil changes, tires and brakes. WORST modern feature: They're all too damned expensive, and on the rare case of a major problem (such as transmission failure) the repairs cost a FORTUNE. 30 years ago a used transmission from a popular vehicle bought from a wrecker with 150,000 miles on it might have been 100 bucks. Today, the same old used transmission is $5,000 or more and it's the same thing: It might last a whole year or even two, or it might fail again in 3 days. Cars and spare parts today are insanely expensive, but today's new cars are MUCH better.

  1717.  @mikehimes7944  The only guys that experience it are the ones with the best looks anyway. Teen boys have no money, they also aren't usually hung up on being fashionable and it's actually quite rare as well for young guys to be into being extremely popular. So girls have no use for them. It's only when guys get a bit older and a tiny number of them make mega-bucks that women are interested in them.

  1737. First of all, just for the record, this is extremely cool! However, since the airplane is so lightweight, why didn't they fit it with a much, much larger battery pack? Say, maybe 40 to 60 kWh instead of only 20? You'd get the range and flight time of a gas-powered plane, with the trade-off being a somewhat higher stall speed. So, why not? Don't get me wrong, this is cool as hell! VERY nice work Pipistrel! :)
    1
  1738.  @martinwinlow  Gotcha. Still, I think it would be a great idea. A larger aircraft carrying a much bigger battery pack would still be licensable as a light general aviation aircraft, it would just have a somewhat higher landing speed. It very well may be possible nowadays to get 2-3 hours of flight out of an electric plane. For example, if level flight requires 100 HP continously, with a motor that's 90% efficient, that's 83 kilowatts of power. 3 hours requires a 250 kWh battery, which would weigh about 1200 kg, or 2640 lbs. The electric motor weighs almost nothing, probably far less than 100 lbs. and is air-cooled (no extra weight/drag.) It wouldn't be easy, but I'm sure it could be done.

  1739. It costs more though, that's what major 'macrobrews' are all about. It's available everywhere and cheaper.

Major brands are always there, cost less, and still get you trashed :)

But, he's every bit as much of a full-of-himself, head-up-ass egomaniac as any other mortal human with a chip on his shoulder and a tendency toward religious zealotry. I'm sure he's actually a decent guy and very thoughtful, but he's REALLY over the top with anger and judgmentalism.

  1753.  @MonPeak  There's no feeling of power in just normal law enforcement, that's just bureaucracy in motion and get very boring fast. There can be a feeling of power in abusing the position. The REAL feeling of power comes from blatantly abusing it and when your victims accuse you of corruption/tyranny, you FLAUNT it--bragging about it. That's where the real feeling of power comes from and that's what makes positions of authority irresistible to psychopaths and malignant narcissists.

Since it's a shotgun darn near anything will do for projectiles as long as you don't mind buggering up the barrel (which doesn't matter much if it's for home defense and you rarely fire it.) It's the primers that are a bit tricky.

  1756.  @diquadhumungersaur492  At personal defense distances it can't make that much difference, though. The pellet group is almost a slug anyway, it's still mostly packed together. Remove birdshot pellets, mix with some molten candle wax, and reload shell :)

It's not like other cops are going to go out of their way to give one of their own a traffic ticket, although it does happen sometimes. You have Internet access. You can find videos of cops getting pulled over by other officers, and the cop behind the wheel is falling down drunk. It happens, and when it does, the odds are he'll just be let go because 'nabbing' another cop, especially one with seniority, is a great way to get yourself fired from your job as an officer--and it's also a great way to get yourself targeted for gangstalking, or even killed.

The only major advantage the Flathead engine has, other than simplicity/cheapness, is compactness--an engine of a given displacement is smaller than an overhead valve engine because of the flat, simple cylinder heads.

  1770. AWESOME quote to begin your vid! Automatic +1 Like :) Anyway, we're SUPPOSED to work, our brains are built to do it and working is a big part of goal-pursuing behavior. The problem is there isn't a perceived correlation between expenditure of effort and benefiting from it, so people become depressed until you're screwed whether you work hard or not. After that, people hang on for a few years, then they quit and go on welfare.

  1788. If you're not the sort that willingly, even cheerfully, marches to your own death just for the sake of politics, then you probably shouldn't join the armed forces! The soldiers themselves are only doing as they're told--which is, of course, how things work in the military. You can't join up and then expect to make your own decisions based on ethics, because that's not how military life works. There's a chain of command. Disregarding orders will be considered high treason and the Russian government will execute them.

  1791. I know it's a trite thing to say, but Canadian civilians never have owned any assault rifles. Assault rifles in Canada cannot be owned by individuals. They're only found in the police and the military, and are considered the property of those institutions. A civilian AR-15 Sporter (or any such rifle) is not an assault rifle, it's semiauto *only*. Select Fire (full auto capable) = police & military ONLY in Canada. So, they're just "banning" something that you can't own here anyway, but police & military will always have. What, are they going to destroy all the assault rifles that the cops & armed forces have?

  1809. Awesome! You have the makings of a happy life and I envy you. Avoid most of the world's people if you're a natural introvert, you'll avoid a life of pain, waste and bullshit. We're all still social animals though--but only ONE person you like is plenty. The only problem is that women insist on popularity in guys, so if you're the guy you're still largely screwed if you want a girlfriend--even a nice one. I've come to the conclusion that for guys, one person they're fond of is fine. It's all they need. This obsession that our society has with popularity as a part of image is rather pathetic actually, regardless of whether you're 16 or 60 (or anything else.) Socializing is fine, falling apart inside if you can't do it constantly and incessantly is lameass.

  1812. That's because Honda builds good quality cars. You buy a Honda because you want to buy a good, well-made car. You buy an uber-expensive exotic because you want to prove to the world that you CAN buy a car that costs much more than everybody else's car. In other words, the exotic car has already served its purpose long before you've actually taken delivery and driven it. The Honda is a car, the exotic is NOT a car. It's a statement about your money. ;) Nothing wrong with exotic cars. It's just that the car itself, the actual physical automobile, isn't the point. The point is the financial fashion statement, not the actual car.

  1814. The reason why that is, is that it's the same battery pack and fast-charging causes more battery failures sooner. So, you have to pay extra to enable fast charging because it covers the greater likelihood of pack failures during the warranty period. Faster charging = shorter pack life. Capische?
    1
  1815.  @Bordpie  Slow charging isn't a problem if the battery capacity is large enough though (long range.) After hours and hours of riding, you just wait for it to charge at the normal rate while you look for some coarse sandpaper to remove the calluses from your ass cheeks, and when you're done you're ready to ride again :)
    1
  1816.  @siraff4461  Yes, you got it. So, they charge more for a feature that will make the exact same bike more desirable but less durable. Battery tech isn't all that great yet. Complaining about things like this is just like paying top dollar for an exotic car and then complaining it burns too much gas. See what I mean?
    1
  1817.  @palbi  The extra cost for fast charging? That's to cover all the extra warranty claims because faster charging will shorten the battery pack life on average (some packs will make it, but more will fail before the warranty is up and more will fail early on in the warranty, so you're more likely to need two replacements under warranty.) Before you say things like "Why don't they just use better battery tech!" well, then YOU go ahead and invent it! They are NOT doing it to screw you. I've just explained why it's done that way. Keep arguing if you wish.
    1
  1818.  @palbi  I apologize if I wasn't making myself understood. You're not unlocking existing tech, you're enabling faster charging which is more likely to cause early pack failure. So if you want faster charging, you either pay more money or settle for a much shorter warranty period, or possibly a combination of the two. Alternatively, they could do it by enabling faster charging at the customer's request without charging more money, but the battery pack warranty is null and void. Much like buying a car with a warranty, if the car has a turbocharged engine and you modify the wastegate control system to crank up the turbo boost and produce more power, your engine's warranty is null and void even if it still runs just fine and produces a lot more power. You can't blow your engine due to deliberately increasing the turbo boost and make a warranty claim because that would be fraudulent, the engine is guaranteed only at the factory-set turbo boost and only while running on the recommended grade of fuel. Same thing with increasing the charging rate on an EV pack.

  1822. Get rich and laid if you're a guy, everything else is up to your own personal taste. Guys are slaves to the need for money and sex. Transcend both, and get a life by pursuing self-actualization, which for guys is the pursuit of the development of skills and talents that they find interesting and/or inspiring. If you're a girl, use your youth, and sex, to get what-the-fuck-ever makes other women jealous. You're a slave to the need to believe that other chicks are jealous of you. Transcend that, and use what you can get with your youth and beauty (if any) to get a bigger house and make other broads jealous. That's what you should do with your life, because you're a human being and that's what we all do when we're at our best.

Maybe it's a lack of optimization in DCS, or flight sims really are just in a world of their own as far as being right bloody demanding on video cards. There are people on the DCS forum that have GTX 1080 Ti's, and they're complaining about lousy framerates :)

Let's start at a meaningful improvement, such as ~500 Wh/kg and a cycle life of maybe 500 cycles, and a price tag about 1/4 of current battery prices for the fully assembled pack. Then we'll get somewhere. Until that happens, EVs are an interesting curiosity and not a mainstream technology kind of like Wankel rotary engines.

That's what it's for, accelerating to traffic speed: Not necessarily the posted speed limit, but the actual speed of the traffic and THEN you merge. Ideally before you run out of acceleration lane and dump your car in the grass beside the highway and they need to call a tow truck to haul your dumb ass out :) hehehe

I drive manual myself, but making it out to be the holy grail and the whole point of driving is rather foolish. It just isn't needed with electrics, and for combustion engines, the main point of manual is that it's cheaper. It might give you slightly better control of the car, but in street driving it doesn't make that much difference.

I'm a Canadian who was severely tortured by corrupt police officers and FORCED against my will to drive home while falling-down drunk (10 beers and one joint) on a major highway in a torrential downpour. I could barely have seen the road if I were sober, and I can't even imagine how fucked I would be if I had crashed the car. I crawled all the way home mostly in first gear with the 4-way hazard lights on much of the time (a ticketable offense.) I made it home safely, and the corrupt police officers that made me do it got PAID out of MY taxes. I always wonder if there's more to these stories than what the news media is permitted to "report." I could have killed myself and a LOT of other people on Highway 401 from London, Ontario to Cambridge over 20 years ago. I had forgotten all about it until roughly 7 years later, about the time it takes to have memory recall after severe physical torture.

  1865. It isn't blue-pill conditioning. Many guys are naturally affectionate people, and want an affectionate attachment with a female. It's called "nature", kids. Nothing to do with this blue-pill red-pill bullshit. The problem is, and it's not really a problem of course, Elon Musk is filthy rich! That means he spends his female-time with gorgeous women who are much younger than him. Elon is a normal looking guy. When supermodels spend time with him, it's only because he's rich. He needs to understand that (and frankly, I'm sure he does.) When you're a multi-billionaire, you don't buy a Ford, you buy a Ferrari. But when it comes to human beings, Fords (plain women) are just more endearing and lovable as people than Ferraris (supermodels). The Fords don't get spoiled rotten just because of their appearance, so they have a more realistic view of themselves, and are more appreciative. BTW, "bumbling nerd"? Elon Musk is the fucking MAN. He just has more pressing concerns (i.e. trying to GET THINGS DONE) than trying to play James Bond.

  1881. In all fairness, modern cars are so highly developed that knowing much of anything about how they work mechanically isn't really needed. Of course it has to be properly maintained but the dealership can do all of that for you if you wish. Most people are able to learn to drive them surprisingly well with zilch mechanical inclination. Rage, personality disorders, intoxication and plain old assholery are the problem, not lack of technical knowledge of the vehicle itself. It simply isn't needed today because of the high level of development of the vehicles. Many, many people have used computers and the Internet for many years now without having even the foggiest idea of how any of it works. It isn't really necessary most of the time. Even people who are completely dependent on computers & the Internet to make a living!

Instead of a Corvette or any other car, some people would prefer to own nice guitar equipment for example--or even a tiny, shitty house just so they have their own place instead of living with their parents just so they can own a Vette (or anything else.) Living the way you like is the accomplishment, not what things you own.

  1896. Most normal auto mechanics related stuff you don't need anyone to 'teach' you in the usual sense. You get the shop manual from the dealership and figure it out yourself as you go along, just replacing parts is not difficult to understand. Diagnosing serious problems that are not obvious is much harder, for example: You have good compression, good spark, and good fuel delivery--but the engine fails to start and/or refuses to idle. Or, all sensors test good and are adjusted properly but it's a bitch to start, has a hunting idle, refuses to pass emissions test even with good plugs and fresh gas etc. etc. etc. until you're ready to EAT your car out of frustration. That stuff's a bitch. Intermittent electrical problems are the worst.

  1927. 0:26 Low-mounted wings weren't used to "increase maneuverability". Mounting the wings low was done to allow the wing spars (strong, heavy structural beams that give the wings their strength and stiffness) to pass through the bottom of the fuselage, leaving room for the pilot and engine. The engine was huge, so the pilot's canopy was located rearward, and mounting the wing at the top of the fuselage was a no-go. Many aircraft are built this way, it leaves more room inside the fuselage for useful payload. It has nothing to do with maneuverability.
    1
  1928.  @Tacticaviator7  Yes! Actually, a certain problem with the Canadian-built Avro Arrow was the high-mounted wing, which required long, fragile and heavy landing gear. If they had mounted the wings low, it wouldn't have been a problem. If they had attached the landing gear to the fuselage instead of the wings, it would have used up valuable space inside the fuselage for fuel, engines, weapons etc.

  1931. I don't think any woman would say that a man making tons of money is somehow terrible. She might have a cow if he doesn't turn it over to her, but she won't rip on him just for doing it. Also, I've never noticed anything particularly "amazing" about a woman producing a baby compared to, say, taking a shit. Without saying so I've always had a hankering that most people agree with me but know better than to say so in front of a woman making a gargantuan attention-whoring fuss over being pregnant. Human beings, including later-model ones, are NOT rare on this planet!

If you use anything else such as a length of pipe, a 2x4, a baseball bat etc. then you could be facing weapons charges. Some Canadians figure that since you're going to get charged anyway, may as well use a gun and get the job done right. That way your assailant can't testify against you.

  1966.  @makingitthrough190  A Watt is a unit of physical power, it can be electrical, mechanical or even thermal (heat) or light, or sound. If you have an electrical power source, the power in Watts is the voltage times current. So, a 12-volt light bulb using 5 amperes of current (like a car headlight) would be 12V x 5A = 60 Watts of power. In physics, energy is the amount of physical change that can occur, or has already occurred. Heating an object up or cooling it down, speeding something up or slowing it down, that sort of deal--it means energy has been transferred (physical work has been done.) Power is how quickly energy is transferred--alternatively, how quickly physical change occurs--how quickly physical work gets done, if you wish. A Watt of power is one Joule of energy per second. One Joule is the energy needed to change the temperature of one gram of pure water by 0.24 degrees C. So, if you heat up or cool down a gram of water 0.24C per second, that's one Watt of power.

Oh yeah, and buying consumer shit and having a MOUNTAIN of debt!

  1969. @jameswilliams3304 You mean Canadians? Hehehe yeah, houses, schools and hospitals are the THREE things that Canadians actually give a fuck about. What else is there to life? You go to school, then you get a house, then you go to the hospital. What else is there? The crazy part is a lot of Canadians are quite intelligent but they still do little with their lives except work. Tons and tons of Canadians have university degrees, it's supposed to make them better than anyone else. TWENTY YEARS of schooling just to be a working stiff with bills, debt, consumer crap and tedious bullshit, you must be fucking joking.

  1970.  @vistagreat9994  Even younger than that, corrupt police broke into the house just before I started Kindergarten and tortured the fuck out of me. They did it again when I was 11 years old back in 1988. I have been dysfunctional ever since. Police in Canada are totally fucked, it's a job for narcissists and antisocial people. Canada is a developing country, we're basically a terrorist state with really expensive civil infrastructure that gives us the false appearance of a modern, developed country.

Borrowing money never got anybody out of poverty, it just moves the debt to the whole country instead of the people that are busy racking it up. So, they have no motivation to work harder (or smarter) and just keep having more kids, and now you have more poor people.

  1976.  @johng4093  If you have to pay for your own health insurance, how do you afford to enjoy trivial luxuries like food and rent? Life isn't all about hard work and paying bills you know, you gotta live it up sometime to make all that effort feel worthwhile. I'm Canadian and wouldn't want to go without heat, for example. I'm accustomed to the luxurious lifestyle in a country where everything's FREE because the government pays for everything and you can live the high life without ever having to work. Food, a roof, HEAT, and even hospitals! What else is there, really?

Not only is this impossible for humans but we probably wouldn't want to do it that way anyway. So, TP it is.

  1999. The USA has done an enormous amount of work in the field of physics, for better or for worse (nuclear weapons and power stations are proof of that) and they're also the only country to have ever put people on another celestial body (the moon) and even brought them back in one piece to tell about it. In terms of electronic consumer product design, they're a major world player, although still depend on the commies (China) to do all their manufacturing for them. It just costs too much to make consumer products in the United States. There very well may be a huge number of religious nutjobs, anti-intellectuals, and plain old stark raving idiots in the States, but there are plenty of bright people too. I'd hardly call them a country with a disregard for science; they just know to keep quiet about it because humans in general have the paradoxical characteristic of being somewhat anti-intellectual.

  2004. In the past, young men were very, VERY strong. Even when they were only in their late teens, they were strong as all hell. That's why we had World War II. There was too much strength, and not enough conscientiousness. The world needs more THOUGHTFUL men, not just brute strength. Dumb blind strength causes problems, it does not solve them. And yes, I recognize the importance of violence in solving certain problems.

  2005.  @bennyboy6367  Voted you one up because you basically just said what I did, just in a different way. When being "strong" (fighting ability) becomes very widespread, you end up with lots & lots of fighting. Thoughtfulness/conscientiousness/principles be danged, because those things are not the reason people fight. They fight because at least one of them wants to fight, to prove that they're stronger.

  2006. It's probably because they're Japanese. Why would they buy anything other than a Japanese car? The Japanese make everything on wheels, from tiny, ordinary econoboxes to very expensive rocket sleds, and everything in between, not to mention motorbikes of every description and displacement. Regardless of what kind of vehicle it is, Japanese rides have a good reputation for quality. So, why bother with importing anything? They make it all themselves.

  2009. Probably the biggest problem is that Canadians will pay ANYTHING for a damned house. I don't know what life is like in other countries, but I have always noticed from a very young age that for Canadians having a house is often considered to be the ultimate end-all-to-be-all of the human life experience. Damned if I know why. I don't want to sleep on the sidewalk or live in a shitty apartment surrounded by drug dealers and stalkers, but there is MUCH more to being alive than having a fucking house! Just not if you're Canadian.

  2010. @jameswilliams3304 I've always felt that Canada suffers from a lack of will to live.

Modern day life is too damned expensive to be worth the aggravation.

They are not for enthusiasts, even though they're basically good cars for going to work and even road trips because they handle well and have pretty decent steering feel.

  2036.  @Andromedon777  I'd still hardly call it a miracle, it's a fluke of nature. Medical conditions of any kind are something you either survive or don't. No miracle involved. When a healthy kid is born and quickly develops a sharp mind at a young age, and is very intelligent, insightful, vibrant, and life-loving, nobody calls it a miracle. They're dismissed as "difficult" because they're harder to raise and don't like school.

  2042. I'm from Quebec and originally only spoke English, but when I was ~6 years old I started teaching myself to speak French. I got pretty decent at it very quickly because I was one hell of a bright kid. The police responded by physically torturing me and stopping me from doing it, additionally rendering me dysfunctional. Not to sound all "gangsta" especially since I'm white, but fuck the police.

  2044. A lot of dysfunctional behaviors are also signs of growing up bored out of your fucking mind. Plenty of bright and/or creative people brood alone, do drugs, and waste their lives on bullshit because they grew up going to public school, which bored them to tears and caused them to fail to develop their excellent minds. Schoolwork is mostly trivial drivel and your bright kid KNOWS that even if they never put it into words. That's why they grew up to be adults that smoke dope and play video games instead of getting a job and moving out of your house.

  2047. In a nutshell, Stepping on the brakes: The car's speed and weight (kinetic energy) are lost as heating and wearing of the brakes. Shifting into a lower gear and closing the throttle (taking your foot off the 'gas'): the car's kinetic energy is lost by the air cooling down and losing pressure very quickly as the air is sucked past the nearly-closed throttle valve, allowing braking to occur without any mechanical wear and tear. For absolute best fuel efficiency (no wasteful braking, or kinetic energy dissipation, of any kind), climb a hill at a low speed in the lower gears, then shift into neutral at the top of the hill, and just let it coast downhill at whatever speed it wants to with no braking of either type! Watch out for cops at the bottom of the hill :)

  2052.  @TimothyGod  You don't have to be a religious man to understand what a leap of faith driving really is. We're all just used to it because everybody does it. When you really think about it, you have to be nuts to drive a vehicle especially in traffic.

  2057. These engine kits are surprisingly decent for how cheap they are. I rolled one of these about 5 years ago. Unfortunately they're illegal in Canada and the local constabulary saw fit to nail my nuts to the cross over it. Fortunately the judge was fairly reasonable/merciful.
    1
  2058. You're welcome :) One thing to check before installing one of these is whether they're street-legal or not. Fact is, it's pretty safe to assume they're illegal all over the world, even China where they're made, but whether you'll get nailed for riding one on the street depends on how your local police see it. Here in Canada it's an absolute No, Hell No, Triple No, and No Squared, which is pretty funny considering all the really awful crap that goes on around here that the government turns a blind eye to... So, if you have to ask, yes they're illegal :)

Rifles that can fire with open bolts, grenades that are little nukes, mags that never empty... Dang, these dudes really get all the best gear, don't they? I bet the actual military would LOVE to have some of this shit :)

  2061. Not in Canada either, even if your attacker has one. But ultimately, it's up to the judge to decide what else goes down after the brown stuff already has. If it appears to be legit self-defense, a Canadian judge might dismiss the charges against you even though using a gun for fighting is one of the most serious crimes you can commit in Canada. It doesn't matter if it's self defense, it doesn't matter if an attacker is already shooting at you--it's very strictly verboten if you're not on the police force. It's not the gun itself that's illegal since plenty of Canadians go hunting. It's using it for fighting another person, and if you do that the charges are automatic. In other words, it is not necessary for the police to catch you and press charges, and inform you that you're being charged. It's considered to happen automatically, and not turning yourself in to the police and "confessing" your "crime" means that you're considered a fugitive--which is even more charges. That means that in Canada, you shouldn't off somebody with a gun except when you're really mad :)

  2069. I learned to drive in manual cars, my parents never drove anything else because manuals are cheaper to buy. Many of my mom's friends drove stick too, so did my dad's. I drove nothing but stick for years. So, I can attest that manual no big deal. The whole stick shift obsession is overblown. I drive an automatic RAV4 now, a quite nicely made, very boring vehicle that's perfectly fine for getting where you're going and has plenty of space for lugging crap around. Manual transmission driving can be good fun, until you realize that there's no point to it other than that. Maybe they give you a little bit better feel of control of the car, but there's no point in having a manual tranny in anything other than a pure sports car.

  2070. I'm an atheist, I will never be able to truly believe that the universe was deliberately created by a supernatural super-intelligence for the purpose of discovering some kind of Ultimate Truth about the value of consciousness itself, whether biological or otherwise. But if there is only ONE human being I wished I could hang out with in this insignificantly short life, it would be Mr. Jesus Christ Himself. If nothing else I bet Jesus would have been one holy hell of a brilliant punk rock lyricist. And bassist! I bet Scott Shiflett could rock out with Jesus :) Honestly, I'm an atheist through and through but it's considered a matter of historical fact that Jesus Christ was a real-life, living, breathing human being. I really wish I could have met him, without all the religious bullshit interfering with a damn cool hang. Roll a nice doob, put on some great tunes, pull out the ol' bass guitar and just listen to the man chat with me about his own perspectives on life, the universe, consciousness itself, and maybe a few anecdotes about dear ol' Dad. That would be awesome. Especially without all the usual bullshit about jobs, bills, real estate, kids' "education" and all that fucking crap. More than anything, I just REALLY want to know what punk lyrics Jesus would write. I bet it would move me to tears, which is the ultimate goal of truly great art. Jesus wasn't a hippie, he wouldn't sound like John Denver (bless his soul, and that's coming from an atheist.) Jesus was a PUNK.

Race cars had pushbutton start because they don't have key ignition switches since they aren't street legal--no need for a key since they aren't parked in your driveway. No need for it in a street car, you just insert the key and turn it to the Start position for cranking.

  2077. I don't know what to think of this vid. The woman has nerves of steel and handled it better that I ever could have done! Actually, I'd probably end up dead, I'd just look for a chance to rip it out and try blasting them all. I just don't consider any outcome acceptable at all except ALL of the robbers/attackers getting shot and permanently incapacitated, whether or not they die. That's sometimes not possible. Kudos to her for playing it right. My anger would probably get in the way :) One way to deal with it is give them all the money, then when they turn around to leave, shoot them all in the back.

  2079. Actually, yes it is, in fact, emissions. Exhaling produces CO2 gas, and farting releases unburned hydrocarbons (methane gas.) So, a human-powered vehicle of any type actually produces much of the same type of exhaust emissions you'd get from internal combustion engines--a mixture of CO2 and unburned hydrocarbon. But, the HPV is so energy-efficient, that the emissions produced by its "engine" can be ignored.

  2088. I used to play with cars, it can be a cool hobby, but yeah there's a lot of childish drivel. Probably always will be. The car hobby in particular seems to attract a lot of narcissists, no idea why but it's specifically cars. With regards to hyper-inflated prices, these old cars are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them. It's just how capitalism works. If someone is willing to pay a million bucks for your old Corolla, then that's what it's worth. They're still just cars, drive what you like within your budget and that's that. People get REALLY bent out of shape over cars though! It's always, "Oh, you SHOULD have bought this, or you SHOULD have bought that" and "You HAVE to do this mod, you HAVE to do that mod, you HAVE to get this, you SHOULD do that." No you don't, you can drive your car completely stock if that's what you like.

  2094. Ever actually dismantled and worked on a rotary engine? They have a heck of a lot more than one moving part! :) Anyway, they're nifty engines, and there's a lot of good thinking in them. They'll never become commonplace simply because the piston engine burns less fuel per horsepower, and that's a very important aspect of engine performance for passenger cars. That's why you see piston engines everywhere and hardly any rotaries. They're neat, and they're compact, but that's about all they have going for them.

Lovely cars but the build quality was shit. They are hobbyists' cars and were not buy-and-drive dailies even when new. I bought my '87 Turbo II when it was 10 years old and drove it to work for years.

  2118.  @philc1430  That's completely untrue. If a good looking rich person spends a lot of time alone, it's because they do so intentionally, because they enjoy reflecting, or enjoy the kinds of pursuits that tend to be more solitary in nature. In other words, they're still the captains of their own ships--they live in accordance with their own preferences, can easily get laid whenever they want, and avoid garden-variety social scenes when they don't suit the person's needs. To paraphrase Bad Religion, they do what they want, they just don't necessarily do it around you :) So, they still have extremely high social standing.

Big deal. Many decades of it is quite common. You just don't hear anyone bragging about it, that's all.

She's pretty much screwed herself in that department, best of luck with that sort of thing now (or anything else for that matter). People do get dumped. Others can never have an affectionate relationship at all because they lack attractiveness or other qualities/properties that give them value and make them appealing to the opposite sex for visceral reasons (for guys, it includes lack of money & lack of power over people, not just being plain-looking). But, by doing this to herself, she guaranteed herself a life of misery.

I've had them here for over 40 years now, the only difference is that today they're cheap and when I was a little kid they cost more money than the house was worth. They are watching me type this right now, along with my entire life since I was very little. You may record the police any damn time you feel like it, even in their own homes and if they have a problem with it, that's THEIR problem not yours. If they act up about it then that's why you must have firepower to put them where they belong.

It isn't even all that personal, it's just what you look like and for guys it's also money and/or arrogance & aggressiveness, which young women often find very appealing in a guy even if they say they don't. Married people are miserable too. People in general are miserable and just have different ways of hiding it, that's all.

A lot of people have been asking this, and I'm glad that there are some people in the world that can actually think, but I'll ask it again just for good measure: Why the fuck does anyone visit North Korea? Why on earth would you ever want to waste your time in a total shithole? Do you think it makes you hip to some kind of scene? Do you think you get coolness/hipness/worldliness points for it, like bragging about visiting France or Italy and eating in expensive restaurants? I feel sorry for Otto, I really do--but if he was supposed to be so damn smart, what the fuck was he thinking going there? While we're at it, why not just re-start the Nazi regime in Germany, just so we can go for a visit? Maybe they'll have some Bratwurst for us. I'm Canadian, and frankly, our part of the world is fucked up enough as it is. Stay the fuck away from North Korea, idiots. It's not like they need your tourist dollars for their nuclear warhead development program. Finally, if and when those fools attack the USA, it'll be the last thing they ever do. After that, they'll be called the "Korean Basin".

Female cops are the worst, but some of them are small enough to fuck up (I'm a small guy.) Sorry to say this, but no wonder cops get shot.

  2240. That's not how bureaucracy works, though. It expands as much as possible to consume as much of the total resource pool (taxes) as possible, for the primary goal of having as much power over the people as it possibly can. In other words, the organization as a whole has a mind of its own, and it will grow uncontrolled to become as large and all-consuming as possible. It's just the nature of organizations that do not have to provide their own resources, and exist primarily to have power over people. All other organizations are inherently self-limiting, such as businesses for example. A business must make its own money by it own effort, and must function reasonably well in order to survive first, and ultimately prosper. That simply isn't the case with bureaucracy, which is parasitic by nature and function, just like a big & dominant street gang.

  2247. Humans are a naturally occurring phenomenon like any other life form. There is no rule in biology that says being honest and hardworking is universally beneficial to each and every human organism. It's a great way to make your entire life profitable and beneficial to a small number of other people though, as well as slightly beneficial to a very large number of complete strangers and that's what normal life is all about. It doesn't suit everyone well, and doesn't suit some people at all. Finding your own path when the road laid out for you by other people isn't appropriate for you is absolutely necessary for some people. That's why freedom is so important to some. They have little other choice but suicide.

  2248. Retractable headlights are kinda cool. They also really suck in Canada because they get snowed on and freeze shut! When I had my '87 RX-7 Turbo II, I always had to remember to lock the headlight doors open with the knob (just above the main headlight switch) when winter time rolled around, otherwise they would freeze up and I'd have to risk getting busted driving to work in the dark with no headlights! In both my '87 RX-7 and my father's 1993 FD car there are switches for locking the headlight doors open just for that reason, but they're completely, utterly useless if you forget to use them BEFORE your headlights are frozen :) So yeah, neat looking styling feature but they can be a bit of a pain in the ass. That's probably why there aren't very many of them around anymore. Notice how the iconic Miata and even Corvette no longer have them.

  2256. Regenerative braking implies that the energy is reused, such as for charging the battery pack or even sending the electricity back into the grid. Dynamic braking on diesel-electric locomotives is just that: Dynamic braking. It is not regenerative because there's no way to store the energy for later use or transfer it for use elsewhere. It simply wastes the energy as heat just like friction brakes do.

  2270. I figured out in my early 20s that popular "cool" people who are always at the bar/club and always have their "entourage" are basically losers looking for trouble. Find something to be interested in at that age instead. That goes double for the sort that are already on welfare at that age and talk incessantly about "pussy" :)

  2271. Seducing someone isn't weakness, it's how it's done. Unless you're a rapist of course. With very few exceptions (extraordinary attractiveness in both partners) most sexual activity is somewhat coerced. Guys typically do it with the unspoken (and unintended!) promise of greatly increased social position and a lifetime supply of free money, women typically do it by being young and female--or even just female.

  2284. Can't beat the entertainment factor and lower cost of the manual. Can't beat the convenience of auto. Once the manual's entertainment factor wears thin for you after you've been driving for a couple decades, the manual loses much of its lustre--but it's still cheaper, and if you don't have to do a huge amount of stop 'n' go city driving, it's probably the better choice if you know how to drive it. Manuals still benefit/suffer from a certain elitist/snob-appeal aura, but as someone who's driven manuals almost exclusively, I can assure you it makes hardly any difference for day to day transportation. It's cheaper, and generally slightly more efficient, and if you don't mind learning how to do it, it might be worthwhile for you. All this "authentic driving experience" and "real drivers drive manual" is mostly blowing smoke.

Any ties to the Monarchy are symbolic, Canada has a Prime Minister to be the head of state and to represent us to other countries. The UK doesn't do that for us. If any fat cat from Britain told me or anyone else up here to refer to our country by its proper name, which is "The Dominion Of Canada", plenty of us would politely tell them to fuck themselves and go shove their teakettles up their asses. Canada has its own homegrown flavour of bullshit, we don't need to import theirs. If anything, Canada answers only to the United States because we're a member of NATO, and also because we're right next door to the USA and they have a hell of a lot more nuclear weapons than Britain does :)

  2305. Aren't they supposed to be really good? As in, not just cheaper than Intel CPUs, but really good single-thread performance now? AMD stuff historically had lousy single-thread performance, making them mediocre gaming processors. Apparently, the newest Ryzen ones are very good for that now.
    1
  2306.  @timjrvine  No doubt! Looks like AMD really has their dux in a row nowadays. Only thing I'd wonder about is which one is faster when at its maximum practical, everyday overclock. Intel CPUs have always been better in this regard. I still have my "old" i5-6600K (4C/4T) and it's still very good, the good new stuff is really costly and I certainly won't be getting anything new to replace it for a very long time.
    1
  2307.  @wysetech2000  It's also extremely poor value for a gaming system. i5-9600KF is much better cash-wise and will run games at the same framerates if you overclock it to the same frequency. Hyperthreading is a very expensive feature and gives no improvement in framerates in games. It has its uses, but is too costly to justify buying a CPU that has it when the main reason you want a fast PC is only for gaming. On the other hand, the 9900K defaults to 5.0 GHz turbo speed, which is mighty good.

  2311. 1969: Brilliant Americans work together to travel to the Moon and back 2023: Brilliant Americans make a right blinkin' FORTUNE allowing idiots to out-brag each about being bigger idiots on social media Different times, kids! That's all it is. As a Canadian I joke about "Uncle Bubba way daywn yonder" and all that inbred redneck shit, but their are tons of ingenious Americans. Your country would have sunk a hell of a long time ago without them. Morons just tend to be very loud and proud about being morons. So, they stand out like a huge boner in a church choir full of eunuchs and it's easy to think the entire country is just a bunch of idiotic snot-nosed woke ass neanderthals born into wealth. That being said, idiots certainly abound and even worse than people who are 'merely' proud to be stupid and.or shallow are an enormous number of malignant narcissists and even psychopaths that often run the show, or at least profit from it.

  2314. Without going on about it for 20 minutes: "modern music" is awful because that's what the greatest number of people like to hear. I'm not being a snob/elitist here--think about it: You're in the business of making music. You have to keep your business going and make money, otherwise why bother? So, what's a sharp-thinking music business executive dude type gonna do? You got it--produce lots and lots of what people want :) So, if most popular music is shyte, it's because the best and brightest music industry execs figured out a long time ago that the greatest number of people prefer it that way. It works out perfectly, too! Shitty music is easy to write in enormous quantities, and if lots of people want it, you'd be a fool not to get into marketing it instead of spending more time and effort on writing & producing something with more limited appeal--and limited market value.
    1
  2315.  @jobrock1079  The stuff that's considered really good is what's still played sometimes today. There's probably always been lots and lots of half-hearted, half-arsed shyte being pumped out, it's just that it was quickly forgotten, giving the impression that "music was better back in the ol' days." It often depends on age, too--people are also likely to be more attached to the music they got into when they were young, and not so much the newer stuff even if it's well-done. This also creates the illusion that music used to be better a while ago, but not anymore. There's always been talented artists creating good music, and there's always been hacks pumping out half-baked shyte. It's just that the shyte from days of yore has been forgotten, leaving only memories of the good stuff, whereas today's good music suffers from being watered down with current shyte :)

  2319. Money and beauty ARE virtues. They're desirable characteristics that people find appealing, so they're virtues. If you're talking about "character", well, that's somewhat arbitrary. Character can be considered one's sense of ethics and one's attitudes towards various aspects of life in general. People's preferences for aspects of character vary greatly between individuals, for example, young girls often prefer domineering and sometimes even very arrogant, belligerent young guys, which an adult woman that wants a husband wouldn't want as much because such guys are difficult to tolerate having around, and tend to make their life together miserable. Some guys like more conservative women, some guys just like 'em easy :) However, all other things being equal, men's preference for women that are young and very attractive, and women's preference for men that are very handsome and/or have very high incomes, is pretty universal. It isn't something people *choose*, it's a default condition because that's how our species evolved over many, many generations.

  2345. @William Van Dusen Also, back then, people probably rarely lived as long as most people expect to today. In pre-Biblical times, you croaked from one of those various plague or pox type of diseases, or you died in combat, or they crucified you, or something like that. So, a fat guy and a fit one both had roughly the same lifespan--and less of it than today. If you croaked when you were 30, it was still a little early, but so many other people did as well that it was just seen as being on the budget end of normal.

Get the price down to about half that, and keep the 300-mile-per-charge range, and you've got a run-away winner on your hands. But, 35 Grand?! That's a HELL of a lot of money for most people who have to go to work every day. Sorry, but it is. That's a lot of mortgage payments for most people, never mind a damn car!! It's equal to about $50,000 Canadian, which is nuts just for a set of wheels. So, the Model 3 is still an expensive niche product for now. Still a cool car though.

  2360.  @rockethead7  Technology is knowledge. It's not the physical artifacts, such as engines, hulls, guidance computers etc. etc. Technology isn't physical things--it's the knowledge of how to build things and make things work. If they wanted to build another moon rocket, it would be a big, expensive project, but it would be much easier today than it was in the 1960s. None of the technology was "lost", it has been developed and improved. There's no need for archaic devices like the Saturn V or the old moon landers, anything built today would be better, more reliable, and probably even cheaper. They don't go back to the moon because it's expensive and very dangerous, not because the knowledge of how to do it was lost! They know more about it today than they ever did! Frankly, it would probably be fairly easy today, but still dangerous, and they've already gone, so why bother? The goal today is getting to Mars one day, not to the moon--been there, done that, move on.

  2367. What you'll seldom if ever hear about Canada: It can get hot as all huck in choice locations in the summer. Not for very long, mind you--It's still O Canada Eh and the usual climatic stereotype applies. Here in southern Ontario where many Canucks live, we're far away from the oceans and only get the temperature-swing damping effect from the Great Lakes, not the oceans. So, we get the continental climate that sometimes gets hotter than hell in the summer, and of course you also get to freeze the little hairs out of your ass cheeks in the winter in grand Canadian tradition. Just because it's Canuckland doesn't mean it won't cook your goose! Plenty of northern-most US states get the same raw deal.

Take up an instrument, take up motorcycling, go surfing, cycling or drag racing, study brain surgery, anything at all. The only good "excuse" to get drunk is a combination of boredom & depression. That's it. Doesn't make developing an addiction suck any less though! If you're bored to death at 21 and just want to drink, you might be depressed.

So, they still need men once they're sick and tired of working and would rather die than have to work for the rest of their lives--something that starts happening to people in their late 20s/early 30s, and sometimes substantially younger than that.

  2405. I don't think I'll ever get how people think they 'deserve' a certain consumer product more than someone else, or that they are 'able' to 'appreciate' it more. A car is a consumer product, like a TV set or a microwave oven. It costs money. If you have more money to spend, you can buy a more expensive car. That's all there is to it. Get over yourselves. They're just cars. Whether it's Mom's minivan or that Nissan GT-R, fundamentally, they all work the same way and they all do the same thing.

  2408. Henry Ford though everyone should be able to buy one of his normal cars by working at a normal job. If you can't afford an ordinary car by working normally, it's a really shitty car. The world has changed, and a car is only desirable if NOBODY can afford it even by working at a degreed profession. It isn't a good new car unless you're still paying for it by the time it's an old rustbucket. Cars have improved drastically in 100 years, but owning one of these great modern cars has become almost desperately pointless unless you've inherited wealth. And it's STILL just a fucking CAR for crying out loud.

Anybody can be made into a murderer, even the most conscientious people, by controlling their behavior using physical torture. Canada is ridiculous for that kind of thing, I've seen it up-close and personal myself. I have no reason to believe it doesn't happen in the USA as well. Both countries have far too many psychopaths in positions of authority and in the general population as well, and nobody is really doing anything about it contrary to lip service.

Also, what's that little pushbutton on the back of the card for? I've never found out about that either. Overall, these are really great-performing graphics cards and are still really good even with the RTX 20xx being released!

People only see the car (or the new computer, new TV, stereo equipment, whatever) and they can never, ever see the actual WORK. You worked for it, bought it at an agreed upon price, and it's yours. If it's not stolen and the money isn't stolen, you deserve it. People are fucked eh? What the hell is it about cars instead of anything and everything else except for some consumer stuff, but even then it's rare?

  2423. That's not really a problem though, it's supposed to work like that. Why would anyone want a partner that they're not attracted to? I started going bald before I turned 13, attractiveness doesn't run in my family and I have never really had any meaningful amount of money, not the kind that buys the sort of real estate and lifestyle that women demand. I don't blame women for involuntary celibacy, why would I? It's neither their fault nor mine. It's just nature. I don't want 99.99% of women either, not even the younger ones because I don't find most of the either attractive nor relatable. I'm 48 years old and still prefer punk rock to real estate and babies, why would any woman fall all over me? :) They have no use for me and it's hardly their fault.

It also has an air-to-air radar, a bigass gun, and supports the best air-to-air missiles. So, this car is a really, and I mean *REALLY*, shitty value. If you can afford this car, you can probably afford your very own F-16, one of the world's top-performing fighter jets!! This kind of money for a car is beyond insane. Koenigsegg is marketing themselves to people with far more money than brains.

No difference at all. Some fools drive around when they're blitzed, but they've always done that--they're just dumb enough to think it's legal now, because weed is legal. It's not--it's still Impaired Driving.

I wouldn't want to pay extra for one, but for larger vehicles and/or ones with shitty rear views it's tough to beat the back-up cam especially if you want to reverse into a parking spot. Our RAV4 has one, they're a handy feature.

It's insane how much it costs to keep someone in prison--it costs more than the same amount of time of normal life! What the fuck is up with that nonsense? How could it cost more than a few hundred dollars a year to keep someone locked in a shitty little cell with no windows and feed them shit for dinner? Why the hell is prison so expensive? People live in big fucking houses with BMWs that cost less per year that locking someone up in prison. Prison should cost almost nothing, yet it's insanely expensive.

  2446. Psychopaths exist because having a conscience is not necessary for survival. Most living organisms do not have a conscience, it's only necessary for harmonious interaction in complex social animals (humans) and no other species has any use for it. So, it's entirely possible for humans to exist without conscientiousness. No reason at all why they can't. Being born without arms and legs, however, is extremely detrimental to a person's survival and that's why being born without them is exceedingly rare.

  2448. "Friends" and family eventually screw you over one way or another, the only true friend a person really has in the long run is a fondness for what you most love to do with your own mind and your own life. People are fucked and you MUST be your own company. It's hardest for girls, it's almost impossible for most girls and many young adult women to tolerate their own company for any length of time--even half an hour. They MUST have constant attention from a group of other girls or they will break--they will go insane. More intelligent ones can outgrow it faster though. For dumb ones it can take a few decades.

  2461. One thing to keep in mind is that in order to have a sustainable (i.e. money-making) business in mass-produced consumer gadgetry, it`s necessary to minimize costs while still reaching an acceptable level of quality--and, of course producing the required number of gadgets to fill market needs and establish your brand. Regardless of where your company is based, when it comes to mass-producing a gazillion consumer gadgets at absolute rock-bottom prices, it`s just not possible to beat the Chinese. No-one does it better than them, not only because they have the knowledge and experience to do it, but also because huge numbers of them are willing to work for low wages, and their government doesn`t impose excessive taxes on their manufacturing businesses. So, having things mass-produced in China just makes perfect business sense.

Build his doggy house or play on his killa new guitar rig and piss the neighbourhood off with his punk/metal drumming! It's exceedingly rare that any man no matter who he is will have a dream job of any description. Dream jobs include being an astronaut or an auto racing champion. Possibly a "tech guru" for those so inclined, or certain careers like being an airline captain definitely come to mind. Don't forget fighter pilots either! Being 'Knights of the Sky' has probably been a dream job for some guys since aircraft were invented. Very few people grow up dreaming of grinding away in an office or a factory. Those are Jay-Oh-Bee style jobs. They are an essential part of the economy in any industrialized country but for most people (not all) they are NOT living the dream as it were and it's just how they make bread.

  2466. No, the problem is Canadians drowning themselves in debt for consumer stuff and not having any kids. With no future tax cows, how is the government supposed to have power over us? Power over people requires lots of money and that kind of money can only come from huge numbers of people WORKING. Canadians work desperately hard for nothing and just end up quitting and going on welfare. No point in working hard for nothing. No point in having children when a family is an OVERWHELMING BURDEN.

You are not a person, you are now government property and the sole purpose of your existence is to take orders. You are merely a thing, like a rifle or tank, not a person. That's how it works--it's how wars are fought, and it's done that way for a reason. "Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do as we are told or be executed for high treason." In the military you do NOT think. You only do as you are told. That's why some people love it so much.

  2484. As if oil wars are somehow more civilized :) Cobalt does NOT make batteries stable and allow them to operate safely. That's shit-quality reporting. Cobalt allows the battery pack to store more energy so the electric vehicle travels longer on a full charge. It's a conflict element and that's why it's use in EV batteries is controversial. There are lithium-ion batteries that don't use cobalt. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cells are an example, but the pack has to be almost twice as big and heavy for the car to have the same range, because cobalt-based batteries are smaller and lighter for the same energy storage. That's why we used oil products (gasoline/Diesel fuel) for cars. It takes up very little space, and is lightweight, for the amount of energy it stores. That's also why we have wars over oil, so the terrorists don't control the oil wealth and use it to develop nuclear weapons.

Sorry everyone but that's it. If you don't believe me, look at any car company's website for the USA or Canada and compare specs for the same car with a manual or automatic: The auto version uses less fuel compared to the manual, and for performance-oriented vehicles it's often the case that the automatic is faster.

  2515. The screwy part is that it's the US taxpayers that have to pay all the money it costs to bust the people that are collaborating with the Mexican cartel! I'd be miffed about that if I lived in the States! If the Mexican government can't get their shit together and kill off the entire cartel, why should Americans work like dogs to pay their own cops to bust the drug runners? Send the bill to Mexico, it's their cartel and their drugs! On the other hand, I bet Mexico isn't to fond of having to pay their money to bust American gangsters either. This shit's a lot of work and costs a fortune.

  2538. Piracy isn't stealing really, but it's copying without the owner's permission. You're not taking anything that the owner already has, but you're denying them their right to benefit/profit from the work they have done in that one instance. Wealthy and successful artists, for example, don't give a fuck. If you pirate their music, they're just glad somebody is listening. It only applies to ones that are very wealthy though. It's the businesses that need other people's work (like music, games/apps etc.) to stay in business that get bent out of shape about it. The authorities get REALLY worked up about it too even though they do it themselves all the time.

  2552. One thing I can say about trade work is that the reason so few people are learning it is because it honestly doesn't pay too well most of the time. Yes, you do hear people that are tradesmen making 80 grand a year, but they work 80-hour weeks! If you want to make working worthwhile, as in, making WELL over $100,000 a year (possibly 2 or 3 times that, or more) it's NEVER gonna happen in the trades.

  2555. If you're a real introvert, you don't WANT to be really popular. There's no reason to be if you're actually an introvert, because introverts thrive on internally-generated enthusiasm and often creativity, which tend to be solitary. If you want to be very popular, and stay that way, you're going to be far too distracted to put time and energy into the things you thrive on as an introvert--you'll have no time for solitude and intensely focusing on being creative, thoughtful, etc.

  2558. I haven't been into cars in a hell of a long time, but if you want to build a real rocket sled for street driving, the VERY first thing you do is choose a very plain, generic-looking car. Insanely overpowered 'sleepers' aren't just cool, they're low-profile. The more generic and ordinary looking your car is, the less trouble you'll have. You don't want to look like a speed freak driving a 1,000 HP road-legal guided missile, you want to look like somebody's grandmother driving to the local Bingo game.

  2562.  @piccalillipit9211  Canada has its good points, I have to admit. Mostly if you like music, Canada has had some really outstanding musicians. Other than that, as a born-and-bred Canadian of 47 years, all is I can say is it just kind of... well, sucks. There's no freedom here. Justice is a bit of a farce. Canada hides its problems instead of solving them. Too many psychopaths everywhere, psychos in the police, psychopaths running the banks, psychopaths EVERYWHERE in the civil service and private industry too... Degenerate country where you don't even get to decide for yourself how to live your own personal life. Aside from my love for some of our great musicians, I'd say Canada is a pretty awful place to live in my 47 years of experience. There's just no freedom here to pursue your own life on your own terms.

I know it's rather trivial but danged if anyone bothers learning to do it. Even reversing in a parking lot most people will have the damn engine at half way to the redline.

  2579. I've always wondered if actually attending street races to record them and put them online is illegal, even if you don't race in the streets yourself. It's probably a legal gray area since you're documenting criminal activity and not directly reporting it to the cops, but they can see everyone doing it by watching the vid. So, it's either promoting it or informing them about it depending on how they (and the judge) sees it.

  2593. The thing about EDF units, is that they're designed to provide a large airflow volume at low pressure for a given motor power (Watts). For a jet engine, you need high pressure and relatively low airflow for the same motor power. These are called "motorjets" (engine- or motor-driven compressor instead of gas turbine) and the EDF isn't well-suited for it. You'll get a tiny thrust increase with enormous fuel consumption, because the EDF is designed for low pressure and high airflow for a given motor power. For a really good motorjet, you need to use a centrifugal compressor designed for high pressure, not an axial-flow EDF designed for low pressure and high airflow.

  2598. There are different ones, but they have commonalities. An artist/musician may rate high when he's young if he's the best looking, but it doesn't mean much to adult women even if they love his music.

  2620. Many guys, if not most of them (myself included) consider about 18-23 to be the peak of female attractiveness. If an older man is very wealthy then of course he will try to go after 18-23 year old women, that's typically when their physical attractiveness peaks, so she may as well be with a guy who has reached the peak of his income. The only problem is they probably won't be able to relate, because an older wealthy man is highly unlikely to care in the slightest about who's jealous of what he wears, how dominant he is in a bar/nightclub fight, or how popular he is. Older men have long ago outgrown that stuff, and that goes double if he made himself wealthy through his own effort. He's fully grown up and wants to enjoy his life on ONLY his own terms, and young women who have peaked in appearance will not tolerate that because they're at the age where they want to see their boyfriends dominate, dominate, and dominate as well as having the image to make her friends jealous.

  2622. You can't run red lights, not even the police are allowed to do that. Nobody can. You have to stop first, check to see if it's safe to go through, and only then can you go through if the light is stuck on red (or if you're driving an emergency vehicle.) "Running" refers to not stopping at all--just barrelling on through as if it were green. Very, very illegal, and if done deliberately, will probably get you arrested for reckless endangerment. Running red traffic lights is EXTREMELY dangerous--don't do it!

  2626. I'm pretty sure it's already like that, and always has been. I'm Canadian, I can't just move to the USA and buy guns. I'd have to get naturalized first. You don't hear about it much, but Canadians DO, in fact, move to the United States just because of the Second Amendment--usually after they, or someone they know, has been very severely assaulted, and they're sick and tired of being defenseless. So, going to the States is what they do. Here in Canada, even a rape victim, or stalking victim (targeted individual) cannot carry a weapon without permission from the government/police, and they can only do it AFTER they have been raped or tortured. By then, it's too late, so Canadians say "fuck this shithole" and move to the US.

  2627. Wrong, I had my RX-7 Turbo stolen numerous times and they always destroyed the clutch. It is absolutely NOT an anti-theft device as ignorant people claim all the time for some reason. Tons of people will be happy to steal it even if they don't know how to drive it. They'll just happily destroy it. My father also owned a newer (1993) 3rd gen RX-7, which had pretty good locks and was much harder to steal. They still stole it and destroyed the clutch.

  2629.  @scottgaran7328  If the 2A trumps all other laws, then you're right--you do have a right to own automatic weapons because the 2A doesn't exclude any specific types of weapons. Tell it to the cops (and their incoming projectiles.) I know you can get them legally down there, but full autos are very expensive and there's a long waiting time if you want one. Also, I think you only own them if they were built before 1986.

  2639.  @klisurski  It should still be possible to build power electronics that last practically forever. Large electric motors used in industry have electronic controllers that handle a lot more power than you'll ever find in a car, and regular failures in business are unacceptable. Just like they are in cars.

  2641.  @JRP3  That's right, but using standard, commercially available power semiconductors available at low cost, a given circuit design can handle twice the power at twice the voltage without excessive heating becoming a problem. Overall, it probably doesn't make much difference. Porsche chose a higher-voltage system to allow high power levels without the current getting really out of hand. A similar power output could be reached with half the voltage, but you have to deal with insane currents, and the peak transistor current in the Tesla Model S is already probably well over a couple thousand amperes when starting from a standstill.

  2642.  @gormauslander  Maybe "permanent magnet synchronous motor" would be a better description. They can't run directly off of a DC supply without the electronic commutation circuit, so calling them a DC motor is a bit of a stretch. But, they're generally referred to as BLDC motors even in industry.

  2661. Really big engines have the best drivability--the engine is very versatile. The throttle response is instant and there's no "surprise" belt of power as a turbo starts to produce boost. However, large engines generally produce more emissions. So, to minimize emissions (and weight) while keeping power levels high, they use smaller turbo engines. That's all there is to it. Nothing more to it than that. Turbos are a great hobby-they're fun to play with, but for overall driveability, you're better off with a big NA engine.

  2664. Anyone else get the idea that as long as you have an insanely high income, you can buy all of these new cars and they are ALL THE SAME? For 40 years now I hear about wheels, lights, paint jobs, fender flares and other bullshit. Other than trivial superficial bullshit, these cars are all the same. Their build quality has gotten much better over the decades, that's for damn sure. But these newer cars are ALL too damned heavy for their power and they cost too much. Other than that, they are great cars! But they're all the same--lots of looks, lots of power, but they're all too fucking heavy for their power output so when you drive one, they're unremarkable compared to an old-fart car from back in the olden days like a third-gen Mazda RX-7. Whenever people talk about "new" sports cars, all I keep hearing is the same old same old from good cars from 30 years ago. I guess I'm getting really old, I don't see how "Important" it is to have Bluetooth connectivity in a fucking car and I can't understand how people CANNOT DRIVE A CAR without it :) "Oh my GAWD, I can't drive this car!! It doesn't have Bluetooth!"

  2671. A 1.0L turbo 3-lunger for compact cars sounds like a really cool idea, but whoever decided to use a sealed timing belt system should be shot in the ass with rock salt. Drive for 100,000 km or so, then throw it all away and replace the whole engine, because replacing the belt costs more! That just sucks and is uber-lameass. Why didn't they just use a fucking timing chain like they always did on actual car engines? They work fine.

  2682. That's what a Constitution is all about as far as private citizens are concerned. It's supposed to help private citizens fight the tyranny of government when they're taken to court unfairly (such as killing a home invader or other attacker.) In practice, this rarely works well and that's why privately-owned firearms are a basic necessity of life.

  2683. When JBP describes Elon Musk as being "amazing" and "singular", he always talks about relatively trivial things such as individual product examples. He then uses them as definitions of what makes Elon an "amazing engineer" despite knowing full-well that most of the actual engineering work is not done by Elon Musk, it's done by his employees who are not only extremely intelligent and diligent thinkers and workers, but they all get paid relatively trivial amounts of money because they work for a living. I really wonder why.

  2693. Has always been cheap. I'm a 47 y.o. Canadian and human life is and always has been disposable. Probably always will be, humans are mass-produced in enormous quantities by unskilled labor. When something is available in practically limitless supply, how much value does it have? You've probably noticed that a gallon jug of gasoline is a lot more expensive than a gallon jug of air.

  2694. Why would the police be "scared" of him though? They would just pick him off with a rifle. As for the townspeople, well... You live in the USA.

Why does it take so long before somebody draws down on the asshole and gives him a second asshole?

  2695. You're not SUPPOSED to have faith in the legal system. If you're American, you're supposed to be free, armed, and extremely vigilant about anything to do with government--especially police.

Otherwise, anybody that has a different religion from the judge is automatically guilty, even if they didn't do it. Bringing religion into the courtroom is stepping over the line. The judge probably just did it to feel powerful.

  2715. These are excellent points, but arguably, both brake lights and turn signals are redundant because of how driving is intended to be done. Brake lights are there because people follow too closely, they aren't necessary. You're supposed to watch what's going on! Turn signals have a definite purpose, mostly so the driver behind you knows you want to turn, and that's why he's slowing down in front of you with no stop sign or red light ahead. They're a courtesy feature so people don't have a cow behind the wheel. As for lane changes, you aren't supposed to do that at all until there's plenty of room, so you don't catch anyone off guard or cut anyone off. But, they're there for safety and courtesy reasons. Neither are actually necessary if you think about it. That being said... Make sure the damn things work, and always, ALWAYS use them when you're supposed to, because it does, in fact, reduce BS and mishaps :)

She can speak almost white, not quite but still decent. She has the sweetness but there's still slight evidence of Swagga Yo that must be dealt with. Dave Chappelle could teach her a few tricks in that regard--close your eyes and he's about 2/3 as white as Dave Letterman, the gold standard, and 50% is a passing mark. After all that she has to start getting her boyfriend into playing gangsta rap in the car, and after she turns ~25-30, start making the difficult transition to Blink-182. Then she'll be an honorary white chick :)

Spending enough money on her to get her to fuck you, marry you, and even have KIDS with you is a recipe for future generations of misery. STOP HAVING CHILDREN WITH WOMEN THAT DON'T LIKE YOU. All you're doing by spending money on women is bringing unwanted generations of human beings into the future. NEVER SPEND MONEY ON WOMEN. If she likes you, she likes you regardless of money. If women as a whole refuse to associate with you, then that means women don't like you and there's no point in having kids. Y'know, just like there's no point in having kids even if she DOES like you.

  2765. You'd never guess it was a 6-figure car with a V12 engine. It looks like a Camry :) If I was gonna spend $120,000 on a car I would want... well, uh, I guess I wouldn't give a fuck what kind of car it was, what it looked like, or what powered it. Cause I'd be too busy spending $120,000 on a stupid fucking car :) But for Christ's sake, Volkswagen, at least have the human decency to make it look like a $120,000 German car, not a $20,000 American car. As for the V12, plenty of inexpensive mass-produced engines provide the same level of power and are very smooth and quiet. They produce less pollution while doing it, too. For my theoretical 120 grand, the Tesla Model S is where it's at :) I don't know who VW thought they were kidding.

  2773. Those were different times. Remember that Grampa grew up in a time when income was low, but taxes were very low and a new car was probably a thousand bucks, buying a house cost maybe 6 or 7 thousand for nice little house. Here in Canada today the average new car is 40 thousand or so and a "starter home" (dump) is half a MILLION. Taxes are astronomical. Your grandparents grew up in a different world.

  2774. When the hell did jeans become an extravagant, snobby, high-end-fashion-bullshit thing?

When I got my license and started getting the hang of it by driving to work and back every day, driving was fun. It was part of my early 20s, fixing the car and driving around aimlessly just for fun and distraction. Now people find it frightening?

  2783.  @user-ed1qz7mr3d  Yeah, they also get the wrong guy sometimes which is why brutal punishments that leave permanent disfigurement/dysfunction are frowned upon. Human nature is sick and all you need is for someone to torture you and make you commit a crime, and the person that does it to you could even be a member of your own country's government/police. That's why any kind of disfigurement as official punishment is a lousy idea.

  2786.  @Themooman29  The option is always there though regardless of your original intentions. If you bought a small house for 300 grand and now you can sell it for 1 million, why wouldn't you? Especially if you're young, now you can move into a decent little apartment and live off the interest payments on your 1 million bucks. If you like your job or hate it, or are ambivalent about it, it now makes little difference :)

If a company could build a $20,000 EV that's fully highway-capable with a 600+ km range and can be fully charged from stone-dead in maybe an hour or two without degrading the battery performance, only THEN will EVs become the dominant technology. Until that happens, ICEs will predominate. It's all about what gets the job done cheapest, and EVs are a disastrous failure in that regard. Doesn't mean they aren't really great cars, but they cost too damn much. What's up with every fucking working stiff these days with a shitty $25 an hour job buying six-figure cars?! What the fuck is that all about?

  2797. The role of Canada's Air Force in NATO revolves around close air support (CAS) missions. Being a delta-wing interceptor, the Arrow is decidedly unsuited for that mission. It's unsuited for the very heavy external payloads and low flying speeds required for ground strikes. It's primary asset, performance-wise, would have been extreme speed, largely at the expense of all other desireable flight characteristics. The current CF-18 is very costly, but quite well-suited to the CAS role. The Arrow simply is not. Don't get me wrong, the Arrow was a pretty badass attempt at a high-speed aerial interceptor, but it's not going to be of any real use to us.

  2814. Not trying to be a buzzkill, but I have to wonder, with humans on Mars, will Earth (the USA in particular) dictate how life is lived there? What will they do for behavioral regulation, i.e. people getting wasted, harassing each other and starting fights, assault/rape etc. Remember, they'll still be human, and that means politics and belligerence. Presumably only very bright and dedicated people will be the first to colonize Mars, but once there are people being born there, and there are enough of them, they'll just go back to being human :)

If it's reliable and decently powerful then anything will work.

  2821. Not if you find running or other physical activity horribly boring and tedious. I loved cycling as a young kid, can't stand it now. I'm in bad shape these days, but I hate being physically active now. It bores the fuck out of me and makes me angry. Riding around on a bike isn't big-time fun for me like when I was a little kid. It's hard work, it's exhausting and it's a total drag, that's why engines/motors were invented. If you think physical activity "cures" depression then you've obviously never had severe depression.
    1
  2822.  @inpropagation  I'm in bad shape but not horrible shape compared to many people half my age (I'm 47.) Physical exercise is boring, tedious mundane drivel and that's all there is to it. It's great for your physical health but horribly boring and tedious for the mind. Trying to "commit" to a life of physical exertion as a so-called "lifestyle" is just lying to yourself if you're over about 12 or 13 years old, when physical exertion such as cycling, running, swimming etc. just becomes depressing, grueling, heartbreakingly tedious bullshit. Physical activity for your entire life is best suited to people with low IQs who can tolerate physical activity when they are adults. It does absolutely NOT help with depression. It makes it MUCH worse by giving you enough energy to be physically violent! People who claim exercise, diet, popularity, and ESPECIALLY religion are the cure for depression are totally full of shit.

  2842. Because it is legal to exceed the posted speed limit when passing, and limiting the top speed to the fastest highway speed still allows reckless speeding in areas with much lower speed limits anyway so it's a moot point. Look at it this way, going 90 MPH on a 75 MPH highway when conditions allow it is a hell of a lot safer than going 75 MPH in a 30 MPH residential area!

  2843. You're forgetting that having ethics/morals gets in the way of getting power over people, which is fundamentally what the entire world is ultimately all about--who has power over people. That's because limiting your behavior (especially aggressive & antisocial behavior) because it's against your principles directly and fundamentally limits your power over others.

Very, very few people are extremely attractive and are able to make their own wealth at a young age and never have to get a job. It's all a bullshit act--it's not authentic. It's a fake image. That's why they call it "game."

  2847. You could try saving some of it, say, half of it, and get a student loan for the rest. Problem is, if you can't find a decent paying job after college, or any job at all, you're probably pretty screwed. Nobody knows what the economy will do, and I don't know what the regulations are for paying back student loans where you live (I'm Canadian). In today's world you're probably better off having the entire pile of dough on tap before heading off to college, but that can be very, very difficult to do.

We're a member of NATO, and Canuck troops and combat pilots regularly fight alongside Americans in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other terrorist shitholes. Operating the Canadian Armed Forces is the single most expensive thing that Canada has ever done. We're also about to spend maybe 15-20 Billion dollars, possibly more, on new fighter jets for the Canadian Air Force. That's a hell of a lot of bread for a country with the population of Canada. Pacifist my ass, we're warmongers :)

Boys their own age are pathetic--they don't have any money, many of them don't even have a driver's license let alone have a vehicle at their personal disposal, no money to take her out all the time, buy her lots of very expensive clothes etc. These poor young sods are still basically just schoolchildren even though they're actually adolescents and not children at all. Their whole lives are mostly nothing but schoolwork and they have zero cash, so lots of girls--especially the cutest ones--aren't going to waste their time on these very young guys. So, young girls lie about their age so they can bang much older guys and try to get their money, get taken out and doted on, and make other girls jealous. It's been done forever.

  2880. Let's skip all the jibba-jabba and say straight up that here in Canada, and probably down in the States as well, police forces are run by psychopaths. Police administrators in Canada, by and large, will freely admit that they have no conscience, and that it's their "nature". So, you need guns. That's all there is to it--to hell with legislation, "rights" and all that. The cops are run by psychopaths, you need weapons.

  2897. In a nutshell, almost everything in life is a waste of time. The only things that are "worth it" are things that will eventually make you a huge amount of money. So, the trick is to find something to waste your time on that's amusing to you. For some people it's gaming, for others, it's impressing everyone at a club with your cocky swagger and your clothes, hoping to tap some ass. For others, it's wrenching on their motorbikes. For other still, it's studying math or physics. To each his own.

  2898. There's nothing much there for us to go back to. It was done for the human adventure, and frankly, for the USA to show off to the Russians.

Of course they influence your mood and overall energy, but if you're a guy who's approaching 25 and your whole explanation for your life is hormones, that's pretty fucking stupid. You haven't been 13 in over a decade at that point and should no longer be a slave to your hormones, you should be a slave to building independent wealth :)

  2917. Doesn't Scotland have legal drugs too, but without this problem? Or am I thinking of a different country? Anyway, instead of prison they arrest the drug users that are creating a public menace/nuisance and force them into rehab. They treat it as a medical and/or psychological problem instead of a criminal one. Anyway, this is only the part you can see and that's why they made a video of it. Most of the hardcore addicts with ruined lives (or ruining others' lives) are comfortably and legally addicted to alcohol, not street drugs.

  2928.  @TutiFruity7103  It has nothing to do with "deserving" anything. The world is not, and never has been, about what you think you or someone else "deserves". You're only entitled to what you can earn or steal, and defend. Get what you can earn--fair enough. Get what you can take by brute force--unfair enough, but you still get what you want! Then, Defend it. Can't defend what you either earn or steal? LOSE IT! Everything from money, to females, to stuff, even knowledge and skills works this way. That's why the world is power-obsessed.

  2930. On top of it, why an example of a married psychopath in the first place? Male psychopaths don't get married. It serves them no purpose, i.e. it gets them no power over anyone. When a male psychopath wants to get laid, he'll just rape whoever he finds attractive, he certainly won't bother with marriage! Female ones (supposedly quite rare) get married all the time, if only to have power over a man's bank account.

For everything else, either a chain drive or easily-replaceable timing belt at the bare bones minimum.

  2946. Jack stands. There's absolutely no reason for a jack stand to cost 200+ bucks. But, there's REALLY no reason for them to cost 10 bucks either! They're not really tools for working on your car. They're tools for saving your LIFE. Use 'em, kids!

  2947.  @ProjectFarm  I know, that's why I posted it. When I was very little, my neighbour's son was working under his car without using jack stands, and... Well, you know. USE them, everyone. "Oh, but I'm only checking the ball joints, it'll only take 5 minutes, that's not a long time." No, but it's a LONG ASS TIME when that 5 minutes is the rest of your fucking life! NEVER work under a car that's jacked up. Use those jack stands. The money they cost is easier to replace than, say, trying to replace your LIFE. Now go fix that car! :)

  2951. She's very pretty, so she gets an enormous amount of general support and probably lots of therapy. She gets recognition, and an enormous amount of effort is being put into rehabilitation. I wish her well. If you have kids, you really owe it to them to make damn sure you SECURE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF YOUR HOME. That means, make it exceedingly difficult for anyone to break in. They will still get in--of course they will, obviously, but it'll take them some time and it will make a racket--so you'll have at least a few seconds or half a minute to wake up, shake the cobwebs out of your head, and GET YOUR GUN OUT AND LOAD IT. Upon sight of the intruder, loudly demand identification. If he's not a firefighter, and you're fairly certain the house isn't on fire and that's why he's coming in, shoot enough times to absolutely guarantee a kill, close and bar the door (if possible) and IMMEDIATELY reload your gun. Call the cops, informing them you are armed, so they'll be careful when they approach your home. If your door is too badly damaged by now to close it and secure (bar) it, then leave the house, watching for other attackers, and lock yourself in your car with the keys in the ignition so you can get away if more gang members try to attack you. Remember, if you don't kill the intruder--he'll just be back again and again, possibly for years. Yeah, I'm such a brute aren't I, "No guns in MYYYY HOME!!" I hear them all scream. "Not around MYYYY CHILDREN!" "But, it's a nice neighbourhood! We don't have to bar our doors at night! If someone breaks in with a weapon, we'll just... TALK TO HIM NICELY!! WE'RE PEACEFUL AND KIND PEOPLE!!!" Aren't I a horrible person? You should just call the police, shouldn't you? Let them deal with it--they're trained for it after all, and no guns in MYYYY home! With my children! And it's a NICE neighbourhood! But, if you give the slightest fuck about your family (or even just yourself), this is how you deal with home invasion. Bar the doors and windows, it buys you all-important time when someone wants to break in. Time you need to wake up and arm yourself. Poor girl, I hope she's well, a guy wouldn't have been so lucky afterward. We don't have the cuteness factor to inspire lots of empathy, support, and effective psychotherapy. I know, because the same thing happened to me, I was severely tortured when I was 10 years old, and then abducted and brutally tortured when I was 12. Psychopaths are absolute fucking monsters. It's called gang stalking, and it's absolutely beyond insane. If you give a fuck at all about your family, and honestly, many, many people don't, then SECURE YOUR HOME and ARM YOURSELF. This kind of thing isn't as rare as we like to believe, but I suppose a bit of denial goes a long way when being a member of the human species. That's why we evolved to have it! When denial fails to do its job, you need a secure home and an effective weapon. Oh yeah, one more thing... For crying out loud people, you DON'T leave your loaded gun on the kitchen table, or in a dresser drawer, or on a bookshelf, or under the car seat, or anywhere your 4-year-old will get it and "try it out" on you. If that happens, you'll have a bad day. Gun is either on your person, or within immediate reach beside you at night, or unloaded and locked away. If not possible, sell gun immediately and go back to your "praying" (begging) when someone finally breaks in--as if that'll help you when you need a GUN and not a spiritual experience or some spare change. Your gun is either on you, beside you on the side table at night (or otherwise within quick reach), or unloaded and locked up. Sounds inconvenient? You bet it is, and that's why people don't bother, making them perfect, big, juicy targets.

  2952. If it can reach 200 MPH give or take a few and is 100% street-legal, I consider it a supercar. Many, many people consider that unacceptably slow. Most of them are too young to get a driver's license. Carbon fibre this, titanium that, buttons and screens, who modified one to make it "fast," what big name owned or endorsed it, what year this specific rare version won that specific race once, leather seats made from Harvard- and Yale-educated Italian and German-speaking cows hand-stitched by horny angels, blah blah blah irrelevant. 200 MPH, emissions legal, street legal overall = supercar. It's generally a given that it must be produced in small numbers and be freakishly expensive, but I consider that also irrelevant.

As for Youtube blocking your video player, just turn off your adblocker. It will work again. Then turn your adblocker back on again and it works fine for a few days to a couple months before they block it again. Then you just do it again.

Every country has government and police, so every country's citizens need firepower and that's that. They can pass any stupid law they want, all they're doing is making people more defenseless.

  2991.  @carlhicksjr8401  Sure, and the entire town should have filed charges against all surrounding law enforcement for Gross Dereliction of Duty, and then had THEM all executed, too. That McElroy fucker had it coming, the corruption of law enforcement that made it necessary for the townspeople to do it themselves borders on high treason. They betrayed their country by deliberately failing to do the job that the people paid them to do, and the people were well within their natural rights (not legal ones) to deal with it on their own. I still wonder why law enforcement deliberately let him go all the time. It would have been very interesting indeed if they had been interviewed (or beaten!) to find out why.

  2992.  @Captain_Chaz86  Well, "murder" just means killing somebody without government permission, that's all. Murder isn't intrinsically wrong when it's justified, it's just that it's illegal and that's all. There are 8 billion people on our planet, plenty of them need killing. This McElroy assclown was only one of them. Humans can be an incredibly nasty animal and just because somebody was murdered, doesn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do. People who cannot live and let live should all be killed, regardless of whether it's a crime or not, because it's the right thing to do. The only reason it took so long to kill him is because he was in bed with the police.

What kind of fool designed these things so the owner can't replace the battery? Battery is shot after 1 or 2 years, phone is still perfectly good. Buy whole new phone just for $10 lithium-ion cell? I think not.

Schoolteachers versus... well, anyone else with a job except maybe doctors for some reason. POLICE VERSUS ANYBODY THEY HAVEN'T FUCKING SHOT OR TORTURED YET.

  3026. What made your fool mother simply assume you WOULD get married at all? Not everyone does, it makes no difference if you want to get married one day or not. If nobody is attracted to you, you're not getting married. If you're a guy that doesn't want to spend his whole life doing little else but working, you're also not getting married. That's all there is to it. I'm sure your mom was a nice lady but holy shit was she ever naive! Let me guess, she got married shortly out of high school and never needed to earn a living, even if she ever did work?

  3033.  @123darkdeal  It's paid for by the citizens, not created by them. The citizens provide all the money, but have little to no power. At least in the USA, the citizens can be weakly armed, that's better than nothing. Here in Canada we have nothing but a totalitarian police state run by terrorists. Politicians appear wishy-washy because they're constantly adjusting their position to match what they think will make the people vote for them. That's how it's done. It makes them lose their credibility, but there's no other way of doing it.

Canada is my home country, but it's a B-grade country for losers and I've always felt short-changed in life by being born here. I would have left a long time ago if I were able to function, but I grew up being tortured by the police.

  3037. A lot of people get degrees as a fashion statement. Canadians are ridiculous for that, they can't do shit but by golly they have "their degree!" so they technically qualify as cool and with it I guess. If you're not the goal-pursuing type and you have no goals at all in life besides buying things, getting laid/popular and perceiving yourself as being cool, then you're wasting your time in college/university. Just get a fucking job instead, maybe serve a trade apprenticeship.

  3038. Aren't African countries generally still bigger shitholes than Western ones though? They've been around forever, had hundreds if not thousands of years to develop, and are still poverty-stricken shitholes. I've never travelled to Africa so I don't know first-hand, though.

  3051.  @pineapplesaucedaboss  That's different, highly industrialized nations have a specific type of problem: The cost of living is too high. Any time a civilization becomes heavily dependent on technology and people grow up with it and just assume it's always been a part of life, the cost of living increases. Things like clean running water, electricity, flushable cans, paved streets, traffic lights, convenient food, city sewer system, houses with insulation and furnace/AC, and nowadays high-speed Internet are taken for granted and are expected everywhere, which makes life VERY expensive. So, people are hesitant to have kids because life costs a fortune.

  3053. Instead of axe murderers, bank robbers and gangsters, when you hear the word 'psychopath' you really should be thinking 'bureaucrat.' Sure they do other things but bureaucracy and authority is where many of them concentrate. Also, why is charisma so commonly ascribed to them? I've met plenty of them, they mostly come across as either fake or cranky. Most are as charming as a meat grinder.

  3064. Plenty of Canadians own guns. It's very common here. However, using one in self-defense is VERY STRICTLY prohibited. As in, put your gun down, let the home intruder/gang stalker rape you, torture you, rob you blind and completely destroy your life--then return time and time again for years on end, but if you shoot him, you're done and that's it. In other words, in Canada, guns are expensive toys, not the indespensable tools that they're made to be.

Hate to ruin your delusions of your father's buddy's grandeur, but he was defeated by a drastically superior fighter using a drastically superior fighting method: The firearm. Why was he almost 40 and getting into bar fights all the time? That bullshit is for young arrogant fools with more testosterone than brains. Your father's friend may have been decent at unarmed fighting SPORTS but sucked at real fighting where defeating your opponent using any means possible is the only objective. Actual combat isn't supposed to be fair, you're supposed overwhelm your opponent with extreme violence and that's why your dad's idiot friend died. People talk about combat-based sports like MMA or boxing and actual combat as if they're basically the same thing. They are NOTHING of the sort!

An artist who's severely depressed will not be able to function at their creative peak. It's a common misconception that to be fully, truly creative and to create art that is very moving and authentic, an artist must be miserable. That's total bullshit. It's actually the other way around. People create GOOD art to celebrate life, not just to tolerate it.

If you think Internet porn is "shocking" when you're 18 then you've obviously had NO imagination whatsoever for 6 years.

  3126. Men are living longer than ever before. The average lifespan for a Canadian man is about 80 years now and American dudes aren't too far behind even though they're all getting fat :) The long lifespan today even includes people that are overweight, and also people that get drunk/do drugs. They live longer too despite their obesity and generally life-shortening chemical habits. Physically, the human species is healthier and longer-living than it has ever been. There also hasn't been a massive-scale war since 1945, suggesting that men are not only living longer, but they are less willing than ever before to throw their entire lives away just for their stupid government. The only problem is widespread depression, but I suspect it has to do with lack of attachment (people moving too much) and the very high cost of living today.

  3127. I'm not sure it really has so much to do with eating 'healthier', so much as it has to do with just eating a helluva lot less! Burgers, fries, bacon, ok--everyone knows that stuff has lots of calories, but holy smokes, if you eat the weight of a cow in food every week, you're gonna blow up. It doesn't matter if it's the weight of a cow in salad, or eating an actual whole cow :)

  3128. Taxes too high? Get the combustion engine car, its cheaper. Get the older house with leaky windows and doors, it's cheaper. Re-insulate? That's expensive. Firewood instead of a new high-efficiency gas furnace is cheaper...

  3129. This appears staged because being in custody and refusing to talk to the police will get you tortured.

  3130.  @AA-BB  If you don't tell the police what they want to hear they will beat the shit out of you. You'll be unrecognizable, and you'll be lucky if you can ever walk again (or breathe again.) They might be reluctant to do it in this case because the suspect is actually a cop himself, though. Thin Blue Line

  3131. Sorry, eh! (Couldn't resist)

  3132. How come you don't just work out at home instead of going to the gym?

  3133. All non-cobalt batteries store less energy for the same size battery pack as cobalt cells. That means that for the same size and weight of battery pack, the non-cobalt car will have a shorter range on a full charge. That's why they still make cobalt cells. They're expensive to buy and they tend to explode when you overcharge them, but they store the most energy so that's pretty much what they have to use for most EVs sold in North America where having long range is often needed. It doesn't matter in countries the size of a postage stamp with two roads that are maybe 3 miles long. In Canada/US though, you better have plenty of range. That's really all there is to it.

  3134. No idea if these things were ever any good as cars, in terms of steering feel/handling, overall durability and maintenance requirements--but the styling is absolutely WILD. It's like someone took the rather clunky, chunky Countach and redesigned it to actually look good---and then some.

  3135. Strange to hear Jordie talking like this. You ARE supposed to be afraid of death, self-preservation is a fundamental life function and absolutely essential for the survival of the species! Death is probably easier to cope with if you're very old and have spent a really long time (decades) being profoundly depressed. In that case, fuck it, get it over with--it ain't getting any better at that point! But even very depressed people who are young don't really want to die, they just want the pain to stop.

  3136. Yeah, apparently many people that are heavily addicted hang on to their jobs just to keep the buzz going

  3137. I'm pretty sure Bill Nye is actually an engineer, and not a scientist (academic researcher) by profession/experience/paycheck.

  3139. 4:28 You had a great explanation going, until this point, where you really buggered everything up :) The conversion of stylus/"needle" movement into an electrical (audio) signal doesn't happen at the back end of the tonearm, it happens in the pickup (cartridge). For converting the needle/stylus movement into a signal, either a piezo crystal is used (cheap to make and needs no preamp), or an electromagnetic pickup with permanent magnet and coil (still fairly cheap to make and expensive to buy, therefore better!) Anyway, entertaining vid :)

  3141.  @richhandler2621  Me too, but the antisocial are protected by the police. I've heard judges of all people say they dislike police officers just for that reason, calling them degenerates because they say the victim "deserved" it because they were "weak."

  3143. She's strangely cute, adorable, and attractive for an aging woman in her early 30s who's had plastic surgery. That's coming from an unemployed bald guy pushing 50

  3144. She's young and not a bad looking chick, why does she need to pork around with underage guys? It's not like the younger a guy is the more money he's likely to have!

  3145. It happens to guys too, not just girls :) We get old too and it fucking sucks. No matter what the rest of your life is like, even if you're happy with life, the only thing that takes the agonizing burn out of the aging process is wealth.

  3146. If you want decent sound you never use built-in speakers anyway though. It's kinda a moot point.

  3147. I'd LOVE one of these little cars! I'm not a fan of front wheel drive but I'll make an exception for the CRX. This thing would go great with a tiny little turbo :)

  3148.  @heynow01  Maybe just your app, I'm using Firefox on a Windows 11 PC and it seems to work fine

  3149. Sell one of them and now you have money for gas/insurance/maintenance for the others. No idea what this guy is on about.
