complain to tesla's customer relations department
oh wait, they disbanded it because daddy musk didn't want people to give him feedback that his car is a piece of shit
👌
sly elk
I think what Musk did was an amazing example of social engineering
before the Model S/3, EVs were known mostly as quaint hippy mobiles for eco conscious people
umbral moss
I mean, the only EV before the model S was the, uh, leaf?
dear nissan: why is the nissan leaf still a thing when you could have made a 280z body on the platform
you know I'm right, a small sport compact on an EV chassis would be impossible to keep in inventory
instead of these ugly ass grocery getters

when I see a tesla driver I tend to think "that person's probably a libertarian"

umbral moss
when I see a tesla driver I tend to think "that person's probably a libertarian"
that's a good bet, honestly
sly elk
they go around teslarati and /r/tesla parroting the triumphs of elon musk
and the rugged individualism
and how the free market and non-union labor changed the EV world
umbral moss
the odds of someone owning a tesla and not being a shithead that will tell you about crypto like they're a goddamn digital vegan are infinitesimal
sly elk
lol
there are PLENTY of exceptions to the rule
my boss drives a model 3 and he's not like that xD
but he had a chevy volt before
but my point was that tesla managed to appeal to a whole group of people who previously wouldn't have been caught dead inside an EV
because prior EVs were about saving the environment and stuff
sly elk
teslsas are about going fast and not having to pay for gas
umbral moss
mercedes has the right idea with their super long range overengineered thing
umbral moss
it doesn't have 1200whp but it has a 700 mile effective range
sly elk
you should still have more than enough range for a reasonable commute
provided the damn thing starts
and if it does't start, what the heck are you going out for?
umbral moss
EVs are less susceptible to 404 cold cranking amps not found than ICE vehicles
since the turnover current for the stator is a lot lower than a 70lb flywheel strapped to one sad little 12V motor
sly elk
as much as I enjoy the cyber truck's appeal to disrupting truck design
(it's truly marvelous)
I do think they screwed up making too ambitious a design to produce anytime soon >>
umbral moss
that's pretty much just tesla from top to bottom
sly elk
though I do adore it whenever somebody decides to make a truck that isn't BIG TONKA MANLY TRUCK TRUCK
umbral moss
it's telling that lucid is on target to hit their production numbers for 2021 and 2022 right out of the gate
and it took tesla like four years to figure out how to make cars in volume
umbral moss
same
I don't need a truck
which makes buying american practically impossible because your options are "big truck" "little truck" "SUV based on the little truck" and "minivan"
sly elk
yea that was my problem, too
basically you become the butt of every car joke on reddit
your options are dodge, dodge, chrysler, cadillac
or a mustang
umbral moss
not even the EV mustang
if there was ever a platform for ford to flex big dick EV energy it's the god damned mustang
"yeah, we designed this thing to do 0-60 in 2.4 seconds and it costs $25k"
that's literally the mustang design goal
sly elk
though back in 2006 I decided the charger/300 were the only american sedans worth buying
and that still holds true for non-EVs hahaha
unless you can afford a ct5v or something like that
umbral moss
the challenger has cool styling but they also engineered it to handle about as well as it did in 1977
(like shit)
umbral moss
every drive test is like "it rides like a boat"
which is typical for chrysler in general, and characteristic of the challenger from the 70s
odd sand
My friend has an SRT scatpack heh
umbral moss
way too soft suspension for how powerful the car is
sly elk
I've driven a handful of chargers and 300s, including the ones I had, but they have a like 5" longer wheelbase, if not 10"
umbral moss
a vehicle like the challenger should be tight enough that the chassis rings like an E# tuning fork when you tap it
sly elk
in my experience they're rigid?
like if you lift one wheel it'll lift the whole side of the car up
but the v6s have soft suspension and bad brakes
the brakes are irresponsibly bad for how heavy the cars are
the higher end v8s have brembos
umbral moss
like if you lift one wheel it'll lift the whole side of the car up
this is surprisingly not actually an issue
sly elk
ah I meant, the chassis should be really rigid
umbral moss
lotus allows their cars to do this and they're widely regarded as the reference for suspension quality/tuning
sly elk
so if there's deficiencies it's likely in the springs/shocks
sly elk
I can kinda agree
umbral moss
plus they do a poor job shoring up the fifth spring with tie bars
sly elk
the problem is where that suspension came from
umbral moss
it's not designed for road driving and it's definitely not designed for track d riving
just mushy in general
sly elk
they took the LH platform (intrepid, 300m), modernized it to be more durable & RWD, and then mid-design mercedes told them to use their suspension designs
so the original front/rear are like, early 2000s S class, late 90s E class
umbral moss
even mercedes has a better grasp on vehicle dynamics though
sly elk
but then
umbral moss
I drove a GLA for a few weeks and it was as good at holding the road as my subaru despite the height difference
sly elk
the components were designed around cars where the owner probably won't drive aggressively and won't balk at replacing bushings every 3 years
isn't the GLA tiny?!
sly elk
yea but it's tiny
umbral moss
so is the subaru forester/legacy
sly elk
SUV just means they added a box over the back and made it bigger
yea it's not a good comparison at all >>
err but anyway, yea I agree, not a very good design
umbral moss
sure it is, my legacy isn't race tuned or anything and most cars handle demonstrably worse than my car
sly elk
but I'm not sure how they could've done the challenger any better without making it a camaro
umbral moss
especially fleet vehicles like corolla/camry
sly elk
and the current camaro is generally considered a flop
umbral moss
the camaro is a flop because it's a GM product
sly elk
like
I would take great offense to turning the challenger into yet another american porsche wannabe
umbral moss
GM never does anything to encourage people to buy the camaro and then wonders why it doesn't sell
sly elk
we've already got the mustang an camaro
just let it be a crappy 1970s car
it doesn't need to excel at tearing up corners on the nurburgring
umbral moss
the camaro was always GM's also-ran product that they used to try to compete with the mustang
sly elk
if they did that, nobody would buy it
umbral moss
but they really wanted people buying the vette
sly elk
because nobody who buys such a sophisticated car would be caught dead in a dodge
umbral moss
dodge's entire marketing gimmick is that they're PURE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE
sly elk
which means you'll pay $100k for a $60k car
umbral moss
I suppose that's true as long as you have drag slicks and you're driving in a straight line for exactly 1850 feet
sly elk
that is just a $30k car with a 20k engine and $10k more of fancy trim and brakes and stuff
i really like the corvette
not sure I'd find it a comfy fit
umbral moss
that is just a $30k car with a 20k engine and $10k more of fancy trim and brakes...
honestly, you can get away with a lot of performance sins if you put enough suspension tuning into it
like the BRZ gets a lot of slack because it's so agile
even though the engine is ho-hum at best and doesn't take boost well
sly elk
that steering wheel and center console though xD
umbral moss
one of the few things the saturn ion got right was moving the gauge cluster out from under the steering wheel
I really liked that design
sly elk
one of the few things the saturn ion got right was moving the gauge cluster out ...
noooooo
i just want a HUD though
umbral moss
I hate having the gauge cluster under the wheel because I don't drive with my hands at 10 and 2
muh visibility
sly elk
i drive with my hands at like 4 and 7
but half the time the wheel covers up the top half of the cluster, or the dashboard does lol
that's why I want a HUD!
i don't want autopilot
i kinda want a porsche cayman with a manual
i don't know how to drive stick but I want it
umbral moss
I do and I prefer a stick for the control
however, I don't enjoy stick in traffic
EVs can simulate that effect with regenerative braking
😌
sly elk
can you just like put it in 2nd/3rd and coast along really slowly and have a large gap
instead of gas brake gas brake
umbral moss
kind of
the car will stall if you dip below 1500-ish rpm
for the most part yeah, you set it in second and kind of creep along without using the brake
boreal surge
And that's why countries with frequent traffic jams love automatics.
umbral moss
traffic is almost entirely a function of baddies pressing their brakes when they shouldn't
odd sand
I hate having the gauge cluster under the wheel because I don't drive with my ha...
Yeah, I also have the problem of where the wheel is comfortable ends up covering up some of the gauges. But since speed and such is in the HUD now, I don't care as much heh
Not just pressing brakes, but as Icehunter mentioned, not seeing highway driving as a "team sport" and moving in a way that smoothly allows everyone to make the least motion possible
You should either move over or speed up/slow down to let the person merging get in the easiest way possible
And the person on the onramp should be getting up to a speed to move in seemlessly and not being the moron that merges at 40mph
umbral moss
And the person on the onramp should be getting up to a speed to move in seemless...

the aw screens have really nice stands and are really well made, but i think it's a waste to buy one and then vesa mount it, unless you got it for a better deal than the equivalent lg
they also have 3 year no questions asked warranties in the US
i dunno
jaunty light
I have the 2721D and its a good monitor
sly elk
what I do know is never buy aw monitors for MSRP, always look to see what the lowest sale price has been for them recently
because they can get pretty deeply discounted at times
like the 34" I have, I bought for 750
dreamy chasm
I do not have the money for an ultrawide 
potent arrow
saving for a samsung neo rn but FUCK canada prices suck
dreamy chasm
200 bucks in the bank rn
potent arrow
I do not have the money for an ultrawide <:sadge:919869501577781268>
Im lucky cuz im ok with 60hz
yeah im broke as fuck
but the neo I have at work
is so
fucking
nice
dreamy chasm
I see
potent arrow
I want one for personal use
sly elk
sheesh
dreamy chasm
Fair
dreamy chasm
@sly elk I'm looking at either this used p2414h or just buying one of those xiaomi displays
but
potent arrow
one for each work station
sly elk
also if you're in the US and need some cheap kn95s, https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Respirator-Mask-Loop-Foldable/dp/B08M5CCLKH
dreamy chasm
Yeah
The cheapest 1440p panel I can find is 300 bucks here
lol
Every 170 dollar 144hz display is now 250
potent arrow
Finally a product you and me both can agree is unaffordable as FUCk
sly elk
those p2414s are 1080p though?
jaunty light
the issue with the xiaomi display is that it isnt vesa mountable
Just use veeeeeery strong vhb
dreamy chasm
I do want a 1440p display, but I don't need it either
potent arrow
I still find it aboslutely fucking hilarious that I cannot tell the difference between 60hz and anything
you can put them all in front of me
sly elk
sadness
dreamy chasm
two 1080p displays with be plenty for me
potent arrow
and I think they are the same
sly elk
I can tell the diff between 120 and 240
potent arrow
I literally think its beause I am blind as SHIT
sly elk
but I will say this
potent arrow
my eyes are GONE
sly elk
despite that, whenever they do a pan in a movie or a tv show
IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS on LCD monitors
dreamy chasm
I notice the diff between 60 and 144, but I dont need that diff in my life
sly elk
I miss CRTs for that
dreamy chasm
I dont play csgo or anything fps
potent arrow
just get a cheap 60hz ultra wide then uwu
dreamy chasm
Cheapest ultrawide is far out of my price range
potent arrow
what the fuck
jaunty light
Ya for me its not necessarily visual, but latency
sly elk
also icehunter, for LGs.. I just don't trust them xD
my old one is a 34um94 and it's fine but it has issues
it still works after like 6-7 years but I had them replace the screen and the control board under warranty about 2-3 years in
i forgot what was wrong
sly elk
oh yea it had this weird splotch
sly elk
hard to explain, but it happened again with the replacement screen after a few years
the one I have at work is also a similar lg 34"
much better build quality, but the displayport input stopped working for a couple years for no reason xD
sly elk
it works fine now
one thing that made me laugh was i switched to the alienware screens, well , i wanted these. they were pretty and have rgb!
but I was also annoyed at LG's menu system with the joystick button
dreamy chasm
God
sly elk
turns out everyone does that now, including alienware
sly elk
but at least they still have the other 4 buttons and you can program them to things
good night xD
dreamy chasm

@potent arrow this is 200 bucks https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/148162866208440321/931112985697611836/unknown.png
Thoughts?
Yuh
Can't do anything about it
24g2's supposed to be 180 bucks but it's going for 240 here
jaunty light
but I was also annoyed at LG's menu system with the joystick button
Thats right. I fiddle with my alien's joystick all night long.
dreamy chasm
Pain
This is pretty much just why I'm considering going used
I just need a panel with decent colour accuracy
This sanc panel's promising 119% srgb but I don't know if I can trust it lol
They only have one left lol
So if this gets bought while I'm still deciding I'll have to go back to looking for a panel
Was it some old site with a really archaic listing system
Ahh.
jaunty light
Yes, you paid $1499 for this image of a 2080 ti box
jaunty light
dreamy chasm
I don't trusts buffets sometimes
But yeah
I'm definitely considering getting this dell panel
I only see good things about it
jaunty light
I know none of these words help

Hm?

Blood is thoroughly cooked and strained
So it's not an issue unless the restaurant's just shit

You strain the blood and cook the meat and all the bits in it
Last I checked, anyway
I could be wrong

Cyan most filipions ik add sugar to everything
dreamy chasm
The most sugar I ever put into anything is a teaspoon of it into coffee if it's rancid
jaunty light
I looked at some images, positive I would vom
potent arrow
I watched them add two bags of sugar into their stew ;-;
dreamy chasm

We rival the south and their sweet tea habits sometimes
potent arrow
Yeah idk, seems like alot of Filipino cooking is just pure sugar
jaunty light
Sweet tea is a crime

Plenty of cuisine here that doesn't involve a straight path to diabetes
potent arrow
There's alot of meat cuisine too
dreamy chasm
Sweet tea is a crime
Buys a gallon of presweetened tea
Dumps 2 bags of sugar into it

I like da fish. And plain ass white rice. That's it. No sugar, oil, excessive salt

blazing summit
He adds mayo to his coffee lol
i'm sorry what??
jaunty light
potent arrow
He also adds mustard to his pizza
blazing summit
this guys a psychopath
jaunty light
Thats fine...
potent arrow
There's a few things wrong with his meals
Like mayonnaise shouldn't be treated as ranch sauce
But he does
Don't eat his ceaser salads
That's not dressing
It's mayo
jaunty light
Yucky
potent arrow
Mayo and garlic
blazing summit
i'm someone that hates mayo so that combination sounds like 10 times worse
jaunty light
Qp is one thing, normal mayo is nasty
blazing summit
coffee and mayo holy
potent arrow
Yeah I don't know how to feel that the mayo he uses for his coffee is stored in his desk either
Unrefrigerated...
blazing summit
but i just have a standard or at least i think its standard coffee and 2 teaspoons of sugar
this guy putting mayo in his coffee makes me feel like i'm doing it wrong 
jaunty light
Well sarah at least for that terrible knowledge you get a cool monitor
I drink tea with no adds 
And a crippling amount of C4
blazing summit
i like all tea coffee and energy drinks but coffee is easily made and cheap in bulk
blazing summit
i like all but blue
potent arrow
If you think otherwise I'll beat you with a hammer
potent arrow
i like all but blue
blazing summit
Damn O.o ok
jaunty light
If you think otherwise I'll beat you with a hammer
Ive tried all the colors
White green and gold are the best tbh
Oh wait and black
blazing summit
i dont have a particular favourite, usually i like different ones at different times
but any but the blue one is pretty good 
jaunty light
I drink reign and c4 now 
blazing summit
i drink coffee and hope my heart doesnt beat out my chest
jaunty light
blazing summit
but i do like a tea but saying its not my favourite to other brits is apparently blasphemy
dreamy chasm
Anyways
I think I'm going to buy the used monitor tonight
Hm?
Ah
yeah, I'm getting it delivered
Well
It's either the used monitor or the ultrawide

I'm kinda craving a bite of flan now that I think abt it

Is there wireless headsets that have no latency?
Like the Logitech mouses for example
sharp star
get a wired headset
narrow juniper
get a wired headset
I do have one
But the wires are annoying
Also ima buy the bose companion 2 serie iii 😼
I can get them today
I hope they're good
So I can stop having my headset on my head all the time

What you guys think about the corsair hs80?

@kindred brook vnand helps it be faster and consume less power
So unless u moving big files all the time u can buy the non vnand one and just put windows and games in it
paper tusk
vnand is a brand of 3d nand (multi layer) manufacturing. both links are for quad cell so I'm assume they are sus by default (lower write endurance) unless they are only used for storage drives
dull garnet
Get vnand
potent arrow
Nandless SSDS are suffering incarnate

@sly elk RIP my guy

oops
if I get this and the mobo
will I have to reinstall windows
this will help me stream 1080p over my 6700k right
and I won't need to change memory
modest moss
I would 100% reinstall windows
some people might say it's fine though
but I definitely would
there must be a cheaper way to stream 1080p though
where's the workload coming from?
I used to stream 1080p to youtube with OBS on an i5 2500k and GTX 960, what's changed in streaming that you can't?
kindred brook
I used to stream 1080p to youtube with OBS on an i5 2500k and GTX 960, what's ch...
I stream.... but its skipping FPS
for some reason
modest moss
and you think it's CPU because?
modest moss
do you have afterburner or something running to show CPU/GPU etc load?
kindred brook
when streaming
potent arrow
If it's the nvdia codec it shouldn't be your cpu
kindred brook
and my CPU is the bottleneck
modest moss
nvidia should put it all on your gpu, no?
potent arrow
Also hi shue
modest moss
hi <3
potent arrow
Be proud of me I wore safety glasses when I smashed a microwave with a golf club
It looks fine at a cursory glance?
kindred brook
hmmm maybe it just looks janky on the OBS menu
thats weird
because on OBS it looked
like it was skipping FPS
potent arrow
In obs it tells you the dropped frames
Ignore the preview and see dropped frames instead
modest moss
what problem am I meant to see there?
I just watched some and it looks normal
my guy gonna spend $600 on a CPU/mobo without doing any troubleshooting or making sure it's his existing CPU being the problem
