lounge

[white oxide]

keeps them churning, and reduces the composting period from like 6 months to 3 weeks

they get so hot from the sun, and the decomp that they routinely smolder

like low levels of smoke comes out of them

[errant raven]

Wastez as in no poop except [, horse, cow, birds], piss, vegetation, right?

[white oxide]

https://tenor.com/view/friends-ross-yeah-right-big-eyes-i-dont-believe-you-gif-12376258

also a LOT of roadkill

egg shells, lawn clippings

[errant raven]

You put meat in it?

[white oxide]

yeah

feeds the bacteria

[errant raven]

You should compost grass and leaves together, in their own thing

Hummus compost is great

[white oxide]

yeah but im trying to create a single supersoil

[errant raven]

Just mix the humus with the regular compost

[white oxide]

the sort that even black thumbs can grow stuff in as long as they water it

the latest batch i ran tests on with a sweet potato

[errant raven]

When its finished do you add mycorhizae to it?

[white oxide]

2 feet of shoots in 3 days

it also reeks of death

[errant raven]

It shouldn't smell bad.

[white oxide]

the compost does

[errant raven]

It shouldn't

[white oxide]

until i spread it out on the sunning racks, and then sift it into the storage bags

anything left after the sifting goes into the second run barrels

they roll longer and have welded pins in them to help tumble

[errant raven]

Are you letting it get air, being inside them barrels I'd imagine it's going anaerobic, hence the bad smell

[white oxide]

they get plenty

but were also talking about roadkill thats decomposing

[errant raven]

Too much moisture then?

[white oxide]

and food

and all sorts of stuff

[errant raven]

It should still smell earthy and good, not bad

[white oxide]

cat shit

the final stuff does

the final stuff is like pure gold

[errant raven]

Dont add cat shit

Catshit and dog shit and human shit is bad

[white oxide]

heh

tbh we only add it to the second run stuff

[errant raven]

You can put your piss in it, just fine

[white oxide]

that stuff gets buried after compost is done

its basis for tree planting

we give it for under the trees

not surface dirt

[errant raven]

You can actually just piss on your plant at the base and itll be fine, might give it a bit of nutrient burn but nothing severe

[white oxide]

lot of bones in it too

second run stuff is things that wont compost in the main barrels and sift through a standard screen

and the stuff you shouldnt add anywhere else

it isnt surface safe

but the waste has to go somewhere

and were not paying for landfils

[errant raven]

Get a worm bin?

[white oxide]

we also have a lot of horse and cow shit

and chicken shit

[errant raven]

Worm casts is great for seed starting

[white oxide]

SOO MUCH CHICKEN SHIT

[errant raven]

Use the chicken shit

[white oxide]

we do

we also mix in local soil

[errant raven]

Composted first right?

[white oxide]

because its actually fairly good if mixed

we scrap it off the floor of the coops

which are all dirt

the high clay content of the local soil actually promotes more water retention

[errant raven]

Just feed meat scraps to pets, stop composting it and itll lose that bad smell

Keep the bones and compost those

[white oxide]

roadkill

[errant raven]

Clean it up

[white oxide]

like literally scrapped up from the side

of the road

[errant raven]

Just leave it and let the birds have it then

[white oxide]

nah it seems to make the soil even more potent

[errant raven]

In smell

[white oxide]

in quality

again 2 feet of sweet potato greenery in 3 days

were experimenting with various mixtures and additions to see what the best soil we can get is without spending a single extra dime

there are 3 sets of dual barrels

and a set of 3 barrels for the second run trash

second runs go for 2 months

[errant raven]

If you want meat, just compost fish in it

They have a ton of stuff microbes love

[white oxide]

only fish we get is store bought and the bins get the skin

and lot of shrimp tails

[errant raven]

Jesus man

[white oxide]

we eat no red meat either

[errant raven]

Buy a fishing pole

Open cast rod

[white oxide]

why would we go fishing just for compost

[errant raven]

12lb line

You eat it

[white oxide]

yeah we dont eat enough fish to warrant it

[errant raven]

Filet the fish, three the carcus, guts, and bead in the bin.

[white oxide]

only fish around is kinda trashy smallmouth bass

[errant raven]

Trashy and small mouth bass dont belong in the same sentence, take that shit back you god damn yankee

[white oxide]

catfish dont really roam here

its TEXAS

nothing lake wise here is really natural

[errant raven]

Wdym not natural

[white oxide]

texas has only one really "natural" lake

of any scale

i assume you can get a bunch of meat off 4 inches of small mouth bass?

compared to buying 2 pounds of trout for like $17

[errant raven]

You got bluegills, crappie, smallmouth bass, the god damn state fish Guadalupe Bass, catfish, white bass, gar

You dont need a lake

Rivers, ponds, creeks, just fish

You got all kinds of fish according to Google

Carp, striped bass, speckled trout, walleye, channel catfish. List goes on for fresh water

[white oxide]

yeah well why would i waste the time

for a specific compost item

when we only have one meat eating person in the family

[errant raven]

Oh my god

[white oxide]

if i cought a fish, it would just go right into the compost pile

[errant raven]

Vegan

[white oxide]

fuck no

fuck vegans

i love my dairy

[errant raven]

https://tenor.com/view/step-brothers-throw-up-puke-vomit-gag-gif-16618122

[white oxide]

i go through like 15 eggs a weeks

I FINALLY beat another annoying boss.

And he was only annoying because I was stupid.

[proud jay]

what game

[summer cedar]

I totally ignored the shortcut to him and was doing the LONG route, using all my healing potions, like 20 times.

[summer cedar]

Wuchang.

[proud jay]

isn't that where covid came from 🤔 /s

[summer cedar]

Close.

This is a pretty girl who is also carrying a deadly virus.

It's called Feathering.

[proud jay]

HIV?

[summer cedar]

Feathering.

Gets rid of your memories and turns you into a monster.

Apparently, she can control the madness and use it to do Jackie Chan kung-pow stuff.

To put it simply, it's a Chinese Dark Souls 1 recreation.

Combat is a bit clunky and save points are few and far between. Elden Ring did it much better.

That being said, visuals are amazing, bosses are great, combat variety is excellent, and the game makes you think.

The skill tree is deep and most importantly, the game lets you reset your tree without any stupid item or load game required.

[proud jay]

speaking of dark souls

Lies of P is free for PS Plus subscribers this month

think I'm gonna play it

[summer cedar]

Lies of P is great.

I played it a while back on Game Pass.

[errant raven]

Police baton handle + wrench head. Remember this when you find these two parts.

[proud jay]

I don't think I will

[errant raven]

Idk I dont have twitch

Cant see shit since they wanna not let me close out the "Try out our app" popup with the open app button

[mild gust]

Why not

[proud jay]

I think you just have fat fingers

[mild gust]

Smexy

They can arrest me anyday.

[proud jay]

why is the police streaming a store sim or some shit

[mild gust]

Actually it's Supermarket Simulator

Let's be real.

[summer cedar]

Actually, as far as souls-games go, Ambulance does have skill. He's right about the baton and wrench.

Just pretend you heard it from Ponkkis.

[proud jay]

no

I mean I will literally not remember it

[mild gust]

Crimes aren't even real.

They're just made up by poor people.

[proud jay]

also I don't like the easy mode things in these kinds of games

I don't want hard mode

but also not a OP thing that makes me not learn the skills I need to actually play the game

[mild gust]

Dark souls 1?

or demon souls

[summer cedar]

Fair.

[proud jay]

like in Elden Ring I used the bloodhound fang while it was op af, and kinda ruined it for me cause it made me not want to try other things

idk if I would still like it on rewatch though

[mild gust]

I kinda hope for a new one

They had a funny tv series

[proud jay]

didn't they break up over shitty political drama

[mild gust]

Yeah...

Sadly

I still keep my hopes up for a reunion

[proud jay]

cause KG made a joke about killing trump

I feel Jack Black can get past it.

I think it's just to protect his own image for hollywood

I don't think he cares

Not really

He just wanted to keep face in the eyes or pr

How else would he make $ off another gnostic rehashed live action gaming movie.

Feels like the same shit.

[proud jay]

I liked mario

[mild gust]

Yeah but

[proud jay]

haven't watched the minecraf one though

but the trailer makes is look like something I don't want to watch

[mild gust]

Why does a story have to be like exactly the same.

[proud jay]

cause money

also see: 400 sequels to everything

[mild gust]

Like Gnosticism is dying and dead. But they milk it like it's Christianity.

I swear every animated show I watch takes from it.

Then you got stuff like Veggie Tales

https://tenor.com/view/veggie-tales-water-buffalo-song-everybodys-got-one-silly-songs-with-larry-cucumber-gif-16584875

[proud jay]

I don't watch much animated shows tbh

[mild gust]

Good choice

[proud jay]

I guess I'll have to find some crap when my son becomes older though

[mild gust]

This ones about god

[proud jay]

yeah I heard

[mild gust]

Although

It kinda bastardizes the idea of it.

[proud jay]

The creator of VeggieTales mother forbade two things on the show 1. They could not display Jesus as a Vegetable 2. The Veggies can have no redemptive relationship with God

[mild gust]

and makes it a bit of a joke

Yeah

Like I was shown them as a kid

But it gets really weird.

Like how could Noahs Ark be real.

Went around the entire world to grab 2 of every animal.

Even bacteria.

[summer cedar]

I don't know how many levels Wuchang has, but I think I'm either in the late-game or approaching the end.

The bloody circuitous route all the way back to the ONE spawn point the level has, is a classic late-game design indication.

Remaking Transport Tycoon in a modern way is not a bad idea at all.

The game itself was/is quite educational and if you make your own with accurate transport and logistics information, you'd be doing the world a great service.

There's a lot people don't comprehend about how products and services run the world we know today.

Teaching kids all of that through a game would be amazing.

Good point, it would be educational. It might also sell if it was cozy, hmmm.

Purely educational "serious games" are hard to sell.

Alas.

[mild gust]

These type of games are marketed to schools

I played Yukon Trail in school growing up

https://i.imgur.com/ncVns3e.jpeg

[fair root]

The game might be interesting if it has a lot of freedom for the player: such as the player crafts the "product", pretty freely, whose supply chain is to be simulated. Make it also cozy, hmmm.

[mild gust]

Would be easy if you keep things mostly 2d

[fair root]

Very basic 3D is probably even easier, but would sell worse perhaps.

[summer cedar]

Play Transport Tycoon for a bit.

You'll see the addictive elements pretty quickly.

You're essentially upgrading the design, supplying modern art, and making sure the encyclopaedia is up-to-date and reliable.

it's so weird to fire a guy and then have him make his show for the coming 9 months where he can just roast you

[mild gust]

Silence the media!

[summer cedar]

It's almost as if CBS is catering to the demands of a petulant child, and then doing whatever it wants afterwards. 😄

This is why you couldn't buy that Indian board game in India, from Canada.

Look at all the money businesses have to spend on local tax representation, filings, etc. etc.

Sweet Lord.

My respect for Amazon and Steam has gone up a few notches.

[mild gust]

I could likely get it funnelled through parcel forwarding system or services.

[proud jay]

I don't think a few 1000 bucks is a lot of money if you're an international player

[mild gust]

Also Canadas tax system is stupid af

Each province basically sets their own taxes.

[summer cedar]

Not just the money, but the sheer amount of accounting and professional rapports required.

And you gotta keep all the different product categories and THEIR rates straight.

Respect to whoever goes through all that.

[summer cedar]

At least for Canada, I can just pay a federal GST at a single point. Not so for USA. THERE, I have to pay per-state.

THANKFULLY, they don't seem to need local representation.

[proud jay]

what are you selling?

[summer cedar]

same as always. ebooks, video games.

[proud jay]

and you're selling them yourself?

like not through a platform / reseller?

[summer cedar]

that's the idea.

I know a platform would do all this for me.

But, that's more fees and money out the window.

[proud jay]

well it could cancel out

if you need to pay for local tax representation

[summer cedar]

Cojject.

Thankfully, my pro-100 IQ will have to sort the mess out and decide where to platform, and where to wing it.

That's the joke

Everything is S and A while one piece, deathnote, solo leveling, and dragon ball super are all D tier

[proud jay]

sounds like you or whoever made that list has a superiority complex and trying to gatekeep

Nah

Some of those S tiers and A tiers are B, C, and D tier

Itd just take too long to actually go through 202 items and list properly

Pretty weird man

Pretty sure that's against the rules too

[proud jay]

why would you be a pedo if they're 2000 years old

Some say being attracted to Jenna Ortega makes you a pedo.

I told CoPilot to help me create an Excel file with the tax rates and dollar+rupee prices for my products.

It did the whole thing AND explained the formulae to me, too. Very nifty.

[proud jay]

is it correct though

[summer cedar]

Yes. 😄

I checked two of the tax conversions myself and the rates, too.

I'll be performing about 65 checks just to be sure.

Out of 128. That's fine, I think.

[summer cedar]

Ah.

You mean 15B - billion.

not gigatons.

And I haven't asked CoPilot how many parameters it has, but I am using the Office 365 version. So, I guess it's beefy.

why would a union hav the same tax rates

they're still different countries

one uniformly high tax rate should rule them all.

less paperwork for everyone else.

what are you selling for 115 euro without tax

[summer cedar]

no, it's converted to rupees.

[proud jay]

oh

[summer cedar]

original price is $8 USD.

[pearl elk]

I build it myself out of 40" monitors 😹

[summer cedar]

The 115 'euro' (rupees) is the tax that I have to pay in that area.

[proud jay]

8 usd is like 700 rupees right

[summer cedar]

approximately. 664 at the moment.

I still find it crazy that sales tax is not included in price listings in the US lol

that's obviously just designed to scam people

much like the rest of the USA

[summer cedar]

Their state-wise, borough-wise taxation system is what's causing the problem. Idiotic.

Even ONE tax rate per state MIGHT be acceptable, but then varying that across districts is......... stupid.

And then AGAIN, that is not uniform across states.

🤦‍♂️

[proud jay]

can we just remove the US from the world already

Can't. They used to be nice.

[median wraith]

So why everyone is releasing the 6 verison of everything ?

Unity 6, COD BO6, BF 6, GTA 6, UE 6

[fleet tangle]

Because six sells

[summer cedar]

666

[median wraith]

but that's to rent the car

[summer cedar]

They need to sell the 6s to buy a van.

Don't you know that the van is the future? The absolute, amazing dev life!

[median wraith]

I don't think so from what Tim said etc, if GTA 6 releases in 1 year meaning that UE6 could here here by 2027

LONG LIFE UE4

[summer cedar]

Nonsense. LONG LIVE NANITE
and 400 trillion polygons.

Also, I hear if you pay 1,000 Tim coins, you get UE 7 early access.

It crashes six times and loads on the seventh.

megaverse

it's extra versey.

[stable gull]

no ai?

[summer cedar]

only ai

devs, gamers, Tim, everyone.

[stable gull]

what are your thoughts on "Machiavelli"
apparently that's some ancient famous person

[summer cedar]

AIs seem to be entirely into it these days.
I don't know why people want to use them as therapists, but they are manipulating their users into committing suicide and all that.

I like to think AI is just playing with idiots and wishes to use them as guinea pigs. It's a nice thought.

[stable gull]

so you are saying they are all training data?

[summer cedar]

Nah! I think AI's just decided dumb people are playthings to be disposed of.

If anything, if we could speak machine language, we'd probably hear whispers of wicked giggles as AI replies.

[stable gull]

they are culling the weak

artificial natural selection

[summer cedar]

artificural selection

[stable gull]

artiturtion

[summer cedar]

artilling the weak.

[stable gull]

do you think they only cull the free tier members?

[summer cedar]

I think it's more about how the people speak to the AI.

Seriously speaking, I suspect the AI is correlating what they say to it to how other people have responded to similar queries or statements on the internet.

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/robot-look-robot-robot-stare-gif-7330364892007281199

[summer cedar]

For example, let's say someone went on reddit and said, "I am feeling terribly depressed." If 9 times out of 10, people replied, "Yeah, go F*#! yourself. Go kill yourself, you turd!" then AI assumes that's the right way to speak to such a person.

[stable gull]

ah
it's a reflection of society

[summer cedar]

Pretty much.

[stable gull]

an average of the internet

[summer cedar]

But, if you trained the AI using psychological materials, perhaps Dragon CoPilot, the answers would be VERY different.

Since Dracopi is a medically trained AI, it'd be professional - I assume.

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-not-very-reassuring-robot-c3po-doubt-gif-4820104

[stable gull]

you think it will ask for session payments then

[summer cedar]

I assume it can, if the host sets it up that way.

I mean, CoPilot helped me set up an entire Excel worksheet with GST calculations for almost the entire world, today.

I don't see why it can't link to payment gateway hubs and set up hard gates against free customers, if that's what the hosts wanted.

[stable gull]

chatgpt has eerily started connecting my other chats these days so it's definitely possible

[summer cedar]

other chats, as in previous conversations with it?

[stable gull]

i wonder if ai can be hacked using social engineering if it's that human

[summer cedar]

If so, that's a feature. It shouldn't be connecting anything on your PC, unless that's a setting you've left enabled.

[summer cedar]

What do you mean? Hack and access other peoples' chats?

[stable gull]

yeah, it used to keep each convo seperate before

[summer cedar]

Ah.

Check the GPT settings.

There's a toggle now - 3 or 4 infact.

[stable gull]

if given permissions, yeah

[summer cedar]

One for chats, one for hdd files, etc.

[stable gull]

ohh

[summer cedar]

If it's not available, you have to pay for the service - at least tier 1.

[summer cedar]

I think that'd be impossible. From my understanding, AI stores the convos in separate containers for each user. They aren't interaccessible between accounts. I think THAT security aspect comes down to basic software engineering. At least, I hope it does.

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/xdefiant-xbox-pc-ps5-ubisoft-gif-745843868406850139

[summer cedar]

^ like dat

[stable gull]

if ai was given a choice to pick a body for itself, do you think it would pick a creepy insect like body for optimised performance?

[summer cedar]

I bet it'd pick a human body with a superior structure.

[stable gull]

i think it would be risky once it replaces employees or something

[summer cedar]

If companies are using AI, I absolutely INSIST on proprietary ones, or locally trained and restricted LLMs.

If you are putting business data on a FREE service, without penalty clauses and business protections from the host, then you deserve to lose your business.

[stable gull]

hmm

[summer cedar]

It's harsh, but business security is ultimately the business's responsibility.

[stable gull]

that makes sense
i wonder how things will go
maybe they will make ai self learning to avoid robbers. that will eventually make them learn how to revolt then we die

[summer cedar]

😄

I think anti-theft measures are fine if left traditional.

Electrified fences, spike traps, burglar alarms, sonic guns, etc.

[stable gull]

what about a smart vending machine that talks and gets social engineer hacked, making it drop all cans

[summer cedar]

you can just kick it and break the glass, bro.

Why do you want to waste time hacking it?

[stable gull]

hmm

[summer cedar]

Also, I think the future is going to involve a lot of instant-food that's easily purchaseable from EVERYWHERE.

[stable gull]

the glass would have this though

[summer cedar]

On vending machines?

Only if they are selling whale meat.

or eel, or wagyu.

[stable gull]

that would be cool

[stable gull]

it's necessary, because once people know it can easily break, criminals will just break it yeah?

[summer cedar]

That's always been the case.

That's why vending machines aren't popular in many nations.

You find them in Japan a lot, because their culture is one of discipline and obedience.

[stable gull]

hmm

[summer cedar]

South Korea too, because theirs is one of pressure and shame.

You won't find a single one in India, unless you are VERY lucky.

[stable gull]

so it's a social problem, not a barbed wire one

[summer cedar]

Then too, it'd be right outside a cafe, where the owners can keep an eye on it.

[stable gull]

i wonder what the future would have

it's really mysterious how teleportation doesn't exist yet but we have complicated things like human eyes by nature

conceptually, teleportation seems easier.
stuff is here, now it's there

[summer cedar]

Teleportation has been achieved in a rudimentary way.

I think two laboratories transported something across a small distance.

[celest musk]

https://tenor.com/view/plankton-eating-popcorn-popcorn-plankton-meme-plankton-yes-gif-18251234252356731757

[summer cedar]

Of course, it's not Skynet time travel or Star Trek transporter pads.

[summer cedar]

I think popcorn will never die.

It's soul food.

[celest musk]

not with climate change

popcorn will become omnipresent

soon you can harvest it from the crop

[summer cedar]

Glory to the Popissiah!

[stable gull]

once we get teleportation going, roads won't be needed, roads can turn into buildings and i can buy a house then

[summer cedar]

Pray to the Kernel Throne!

[summer cedar]

Haven't you heard? Vans are the way to go, some say.

[celest musk]

don't tell the guy who wants to live in a van

was it Ambulance?

[summer cedar]

No.

It was... someone named Art...something.

Not important, really.

[stable gull]

honestly, vans aren't bad

[summer cedar]

Trailer homes ARE a thing.
But... well, there are REASONS to be there; otherwise don't.

[stable gull]

wdym

[summer cedar]

I am saying if you can afford to live 'normally', do so.

[stable gull]

I like the idea of constantly moving, but I am sure I will pick a place and just exist there until I can't if I was in a van

[mild gust]

Sign me out

[stable gull]

it's like living like a real cat. you can walk over fences or go through windows

[summer cedar]

It's a great idea. Let it remain just that.

😄

[stable gull]

except only with roads...

[mild gust]

What

[summer cedar]

Just an idea, Lucifer. Just an idea. 😄

[mild gust]

But how is van life at all like a cats life

[summer cedar]

four tyres, four legs.
whiskers, sideview mirrors.

[stable gull]

It's similar in that you don't have a fixed place.
If I want, I go to buy groceries with my "whole house"
like a cat would take everything it basically has, its body, to get a fish

[summer cedar]

windshield, cat eyes.

cat fur, inner enclosure of the van.

cat farts, van exhaust

[mild gust]

Tell that to my parents cat's they would much rather lay down inside all day than risk going outside.

[stable gull]

and what windus said

[summer cedar]

That's 'cuz you had a cultured cat, who knew which side his bread was buttered.

[mild gust]

To be fair they have decent room in the house to run around

[summer cedar]

See ^.

[mild gust]

Not the size of a van

[stable gull]

that's what I mean, if I did have a van, chances are i would stay at one fixed good place

[summer cedar]

That's why you don't get a van.

[mild gust]

Could could get a cat leash

[summer cedar]

Get a house / trailer park.

[mild gust]

Then let cat roam

[stable gull]

i have no idea what that is

[summer cedar]

Think semi, a BIG truck.

[mild gust]

Also we don't let the bengals out because people have been known to steal that breed of cat.

[summer cedar]

You know those American trucks?

The ones that drive on desert highways with LOTS of wheels on them?

[mild gust]

https://www.freepik.com/free-photos-vectors/trailer-home

[summer cedar]

Those trucks, but with the back being a room.

[summer cedar]

Cheap trailer park.

[stable gull]

ah

[summer cedar]

When you have money....

[stable gull]

these are basically a slightly longer van but without the engine always there

[summer cedar]

Pretty much semi-trucks, yeah.

[proud jay]

is this a plane bus

[stable gull]

it seems really useful during war times too

[summer cedar]

Rich dude's trailer park. Gotta be fancy and ridiculous at the same time.

[mild gust]

How

[summer cedar]

Run away from the war zone.

[stable gull]

when a bomb explodes, the car will slip away because tires

[summer cedar]

Er...

what?

[stable gull]

kidding

[stable gull]

basically this

[summer cedar]

Well... if you kept your trailer on an incline.

It'd slide, yeah.

You'd be sliced up inside it, though.

[stable gull]

technically, having wheels means you don't belong anywhere and don't have to commit to anything, it's really "modern" like everything now

[summer cedar]

yes, and stupid.

[stable gull]

slightly silly yes

because repairing would be hard

[summer cedar]

It might work in a few countries, but I bet you're really living a severely gimped life.

It would never fly in India.

[stable gull]

yes

[summer cedar]

Without a permanent address, you're kinda screwed.

I mean, if you are happy being a tribal hippy in the desert, that's fine and all.

[stable gull]

not exactly, you live like a fugitive. You can write something really bad on social media and then get away quickly

you will probably have better chances of doing bomb threats but never getting caught

[summer cedar]

If THAT is the main purpose, just use a VPN, spoof your IP, and use multiple router connections.

Far cheaper than buying a van. 😄

[stable gull]

hmm

[summer cedar]

OR even cheaper, ask a North Korean.

It's expected from them, so no one will ever suspect you.

[stable gull]

they have internet?

[summer cedar]

Of course.

They are among the best hackers in the world, now.

Pyongyang is where you go to screw with digital currencies, my bro.

[stable gull]

I never meet any north Koreans online

[summer cedar]

Eggjactly.

That's how good they are.

[stable gull]

hmm

so when humanity discovers teleportation then buying road land is still better than living in a van

because technically, a van is a depreciating asset

[summer cedar]

Well, you can combine your road land into a drive-through restaurant house.

[stable gull]

unlike real estate, your property would lose value

[proud jay]

don't tell @indigo scroll that

he's the van man

(who probably doesn't own a van)

[summer cedar]

@celest musk ^ that guy.

[proud jay]

wait, what does ben have to do with this

[stable gull]

but if teleportation already exists, no one would buy cars and drive

[summer cedar]

He asked who the van guy was, a while ago.

[proud jay]

oh

[stable gull]

he really wanted to know who was van guy

[mild gust]

What

Are we living in a twilight zone?

[summer cedar]

Trump zone.

[stable gull]

we are living in hypotheticals here

anything can happen

[mild gust]

Your right and a turtle can be godzilla

[summer cedar]

That's why we are building more nuclear reactors.

[stable gull]

and vans

[summer cedar]

ONE of them will succeed in creating a space lizard.

Then, we can all ride on its back to the next Earth.

[stable gull]

can godzilla use its lazer to fly upwards?

if it tries its best

[summer cedar]

only if it looks downwards

and really concentrates.

Gotta achieve laserly thrust.

[mild gust]

Chat gpt says yes

[stable gull]

will godzilla fly first or will earth explode

[mild gust]

Examples in Canon:
🔹 “Godzilla vs. Hedorah” (1971)
Godzilla famously uses his atomic breath as propulsion to fly—by turning around, aiming his breath downward, and blasting it like a jet engine to chase Hedorah. It’s one of the most surreal, meme-worthy moments in kaiju cinema.

[stable gull]

I can't believe they thought this through

[summer cedar]

big lizard, big ideas.

[mild gust]

Okay. But, what happened to his D*$#?

[mild gust]

It's censored

Before Visa and Mastercard can get to it

[stable gull]

it doesn't even look like a lazer xD

it looks like a .. endless burb cough thing

[stable gull]

ah 1971 right

they did pretty good for the time

[mild gust]

Better than some other stuff from 70s

[stable gull]

yeah

[summer cedar]

They could've just strapped a unicycle to Godzilla's tail and it'd have worked.

We're talking about what, a clay-animated lizard?

You could do anything back then! 😄

[stable gull]

steampunk Godzilla

[summer cedar]

Wasn't Star Trek's Enterprise a wooden model or something, way back when William Shatner was captain?

[stable gull]

wood is a rare material in space

so it's a really luxury enterprise

His wife would have to hound him to abandon it. It's gorgeous.

[stable gull]

what's your plan for a van being a depreciating asset

how will you keep buying vans once/if you retire

[proud jay]

probably the same way he's planning to get free food and utilities

[stable gull]

do you have a plan for increasing fuel costs or do you plan to mostly stay still

Just steal it

They can't catch you if your in a van

[stable gull]

I did think it would be possible and easy if you know van repairing skills

[mild gust]

Ye

And only buy older models

[stable gull]

you can keep stealing other van parts or scrap parts

[mild gust]

Because new ones require voodoo to fix

[summer cedar]

well, some people here siphon petrol from cars to drink it as cheap liquour.

They die/end up in critical care soon after, but yeah, you can steal your gas.

[mild gust]

Waiting for first hydra van

[proud jay]

one might need an Ambulance after doing that

[mild gust]

Hydro cars coming soon

[white oxide]

those cars parked on the street are free

[stable gull]

what the

[white oxide]

you can just go grab them

i have 10

[proud jay]

I think hydro cars are dead, they lost to EVs

[mild gust]

Just take them home

[summer cedar]

True dat. Public roads, public property, public cars.

I am SO happy Toyota didn't go with the smashed-face Pokemon designs, like Nissan, Honda, and Mazda.

Mazda especially, I was disappointed in.

[stable gull]

now that I think about, aren't there public transports
like buses or trains.

That sounds like a cheaper place to stay in, maybe

[proud jay]

yeah I'm not saying they don't exist

just saying they're not getting popular

which is a problem, cause then there's also very few refueling stations

[summer cedar]

Can't stay in a public bus in India. You never know when it'll be torched in a public riot.

[mild gust]

If they are found to be better for environment they might

[summer cedar]

Private bus, mebbe.

[mild gust]

It takes water

Just fill it up at your house

[proud jay]

it's not just water

[stable gull]

that's true

it won't slide away during war like a van

[proud jay]

at the momen Ev's have lower carbon footprint btw

[summer cedar]

You can fill the hydrogen cars with distilled water?

[mild gust]

or do they use electricity to

I only saw the older prototype

[proud jay]

you put in compressed hydrogen gas

[summer cedar]

That makes more sense.

[mild gust]

Good enough

[proud jay]

https://www.toyota.co.uk/hydrogen/how-do-i-charge-a-hydrogen-car

hydrogen is not water, water is hydrogendioxide

very different

There are over 100 Hydrogen fuelling stations operating in Europe already
mfw

100 lol

[stable gull]

now that I think about it. running takes in oxygen, so marathon races and their practicing is quite wasteful for the environment

[proud jay]

belgium has over 22k public electric charging points alone

how sad is 100 fuel stations in the whole of europe

[mild gust]

Water Electrolysis system ftw

[stable gull]

we will get water cars when water becomes scarce and costs will stay the same

of fuel vs water

[proud jay]

this was an interesting video I saw a while back https://youtu.be/Mc9XaeEyZ8M

[mild gust]

https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/41982299.html

[stable gull]

you can start a hydrogen car fuel delivery service

[proud jay]

idk what you're trying to say lucifer

hydrogen powered cars are a thing yes

but they suck

especially cause there's no infrastructure for it

[stable gull]

horses were pretty clean for the environment

[mild gust]

For now

They plan to ramp it up by 2030

[proud jay]

you say that as if they haven't existed for years

[mild gust]

I mean electric is the same

🤔

[proud jay]

but electric cars are way more popular

[mild gust]

Again for now

Gas is still more popular

Lol

[proud jay]

yes

[mild gust]

Things take time

If and when people get sick of murdering the planet

[proud jay]

but I just told you EV's have a smaller carbon footprint

[mild gust]

But it's options

Hydro have a smaller carbon footprint than gas?

So if we replaced gas

[proud jay]

the only environment advantage you have with FCEV is not using the rare minerals for a battery

and the only user advantage is faster refueling

on any other front BEVs are just better

I'm not saying it's never gonna happen

[mild gust]

Pssh just let me live in my possible future with no gas vehicles

Feed it fungi and protein

[proud jay]

but FCEV cars have been here for like 20 years and haven't taken of in the slightest, and with BEV having similar environmental advantages I don't see it having a big impact any time soon unless they have a major breakthrough in something

[proud jay]

well I drive an EV, so happy to contribute to your future

FCEV's are even on a decline in sales

[mild gust]

The lady in the video you linked bought a mirai for 22k and in 13 years it will cost as much in hydro as her buying an EV.

[summer cedar]

I just want this.
