some really pretty titanium gauges with fiber optic lighting and stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puvIc27jOfo my co worker was talking about this
sly elk
really bad wind gusts?
deep sapphire
big time
sly elk
like that's the kinda wind gust where you get pushed around
i think the camera is a traffic cam
lol
i like how the op spun the camera around
i feel so bad for the truck drivers
deep sapphire
interstate 35 is notoriously bad because its north south and southern minnesota to missouri has insane cross winds
sly elk
i mean worse for the people in the cars that got hit by the trucks
deep sapphire
my mom lives in Iowa, I took my truck there and on the way back I was fighting the wind the entire time, you cant even relax on the highway because every 5 seconds your shit gets pushed one way or the other
sly elk
there was a truck company thta was working on some kinda thing to disconnect the trailer if it's about to flip

that would be a good idea

sly elk
really cheap
jaunty light
deep sapphire
sly elk
but imho the price is totally arbitrary
jaunty light
if i had to buy an american "supercar" id probably get a uh what is it
sly elk
like a corvette only costs a little more than my jeep
deep sapphire
Ford GT
jaunty light
camaro
sly elk
but if I woke up tomorrow thinking
deep sapphire
you ford fuck
sly elk
"ya know, I think I'd like a corvette"
jaunty light
i like the camaro look more than the gt500
and anyone that buys a challenger is cringe
sly elk
and walked into a chevy dealer and asked for a corvette

"I GO FAST IN A STRAIGHT LINE LOLOLOL"
sly elk
they'd tell me to sign up for a 2 year waiting list and pay $20k markup
deep sapphire
the Camaro other than the terrible coffin like feeling of the interior is an amazing car
near perfect weight distribution
magnaride suspension
if you get the 1LE
which why wouldnt you
GM told dealers to fuck off about that
you could probably do it again
and get MSRP
but still on waiting list
sly elk
then again if you walk into a nissan dealer and inquire about buying a GT-R
theyw ill probably laugh you out of the dealer
jaunty light
the Camaro other than the terrible coffin like feeling of the interior is an ama...
every single person I know that owns a charger (know of, nopt personally) is a jackass

I took this earlier
sly elk
like he was just a big dude that wanted a roomy car that wasn't a pickup
sly elk
but charger drivers are often dicks
deep sapphire
he had a USMC badge under the RAM badge and he had "support our troops" license plates
sly elk
that's
... kinda odd
imho why would a red blooded american demand other americans support them
I DONT NEED NO STINKIN CHARITY!
deep sapphire
that RAM has 13 percent interest
sly elk
serious though, I wanna know where this idea comes from
shouldn't that be a sense of pride or something
and most of the people who would put a SUPPORT THE TROOPS sticker on their cars are the kind that say stuff like 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps'
jaunty light
what the shit does red blooded american mean anyways where did this come from
word padding
everyone has red blood dipshits
jaunty light
i'm a red blooded, blue faced, white american redneck
deep sapphire
we know you are
jaunty light
sly elk
there are a few reddit comments on this 😄
Royal/noble families are often referred to as blue blooded, to imply that they are special/ a different breed.
Red blooded is a source of pride as the idea is that the US is made up of common people who kicked out the ruling class. Super debatable as to whether or not you would consider the US having a noble class now pr not.
But it is a reference to a proud banding together of common folk.

would you trust a programmer that took pride in their work?
jaunty light
absolutely not
that indicates they think they know what they're doing, and we all know that nobody knows what they're doing
especially not software engineers

I bet tesla owners listen to Deftones
sly elk
part of the problem is the insistence that we can solve all the problems with cheap cameras and machine learning algorithms
when they need more sensors
jaunty light
too many times you try and let it learn using data alone but it makes correlations
deep sapphire
I recall an article where Elon Musk said they didnt need Radar and Lidar because the human only has eyes and thats enough
rofl
ngl I could totally see him saying that too regardless if its real or not
sly elk
but the cameras they ues are kinda garbage
jaunty light
that goes against all core principals of aero 
sly elk
i don't think the cameras would pass a dmv eye exam
deep sapphire
Kyanche do you listen to Deftones
jaunty light
how you go from cameras are enough when cameras dont have depth perception
deep sapphire
yeah pretty ridiculous
jaunty light
and every other car with radar based cruise control and braking works pretty fine
deep sapphire
they let the competition catch up
when self driving was first demonstrated by Tesla 10 years ago we all were blown away
sly elk
i mean
deep sapphire
now its a given and they are worse at it
sly elk
i don't think my jeep even has radar for its emergency braking/adaptive cruise system either lol
i think it's just a single camera
deep sapphire
sly elk
but I wouldn't trust that to drive a car for me lol
deep sapphire
that isnt standard equipment now?
sly elk
usually yea

deep sapphire
+1 visiblity, -1 rollover protection

meh you can see a lot in my jeep if you fold the back seats down lol
deep sapphire
the pillars
sly elk
more if you take the top off 😄
deep sapphire
on vehicles

because of crash protection and roll over
if I were to roll over in a high speed crash the cabin would crush me and I would die
now days people can walk away from them
