My guy doesn't know about the laws of thermodynamics

all the problems just melt away

[hoary quail]

but it'd be real pretty in the sky

so there's that

[polar fern]

till we were blinded

our squidgy selves would be like "oh look how pr...

[hoary quail]

it's alright

we'll just reincarnate as magic swordsmen in an anime

[polar fern]

do we get running animations with random lines to indicate speed?

[hoary quail]

hmm

depends on what studio animates us

[polar fern]

[polar fern]

[hoary quail]

ay im back

i bought a monster

[vital niche]

this kills the teenager

[hoary quail]

yes

so do bombs

and falling from great heights

[young root]

i'm a redbull guy

in high school i loved monster but it's just easier to smash a can of red bull then go to work

less liquid

[vital niche]

the good ol hippie speedball that kills u

I drink cascara

[hoary quail]

by that metric

[honest jackal]

i really like the ghost sour patch kids flavor

[vital niche]

It's the coffee cherry and has antioxidants naturally

[hoary quail]

just put a spoon of powdered caffeine in your mouth

[young root]

@honest jackal you're wrong

[hoary quail]

and call it a day

[young root]

your tastes are wrong

my lady likes ghost but they don't taste good ti me

no she LOVES celsius

[hoary quail]

so you date a wrong lady

[young root]

yes

[molten drift]

I wonder what the new casa Bonita will be like now that matt and trey own it when it reopens in may

[vale kernel]

Is there a spec sheet for the million dollar computer (server) so I can explain to my normie friends why it’s impressive

[young root]

epyc

quadro

[hoary quail]

they will not care

[honest jackal]

i mean, if im taking red bull i want the acai

[molten drift]

You could write one from the video.

[young root]

24 sticks of 128gb ddr4 ecc

[hoary quail]

but if you're friends are "normie"

then they won't know that that's impressive

[young root]

peasantry

[hoary quail]

just tell them it's a million dollars no? that's already impressive

almost as much as a 1 bedroom apartment in new york

[molten drift]

That's a rather gatekeepy term to use.

[hoary quail]

thats why it's in quotation marks

[young root]

[molten drift]

Same with your peasantry...

[vale kernel]

They’re not completely normie, they used to build pcs 20 years ago but now they don’t keep up with it

[hoary quail]

man

let him cook

[young root]

what's he cooking

[hoary quail]

my keyboard came with a long usb c cable so that's pog

[vale kernel]

Bacon

[hoary quail]

On a 7950x

[honest jackal]

ooo what did you get?

[young root]

i'm going to make my keyboards usbc

[hoary quail]

a good entry keeb

redragon fizz pro

[young root]

dre mel and what not

i have the k552, 2 of them

[hoary quail]

it's a 60% and it comes with outemus but it's pretty nice i think, it's my first mechanical

[young root]

my corsair k95 sits in a drawer because it's too big

[hoary quail]

whaaat

i prefer full size keyboards

i like em big

[young root]

it was 200$ 3 years ago

i love it a lot but it's too big

[hoary quail]

i miss my numpad and my arrows

[honest jackal]

im running a higround base 65 rn, but im waiting to see if i can get a keychron in the same layout as the higround which i got just because of the TTC switches

[hoary quail]

and my FN row

[young root]

you miss usb pass through

i miss it not you

[hoary quail]

also big keyboards just look better to me

[young root]

i agree

[hoary quail]

also for some games you need a metric load of keybinds

[young root]

i do t play any

[hoary quail]

war thunder likes to use about 950 keys

[honest jackal]

i prefer 60 and 65% boards

but then again i barely ever need those other keys, i really like having arrow keys again for illustrator

[hoary quail]

i love the per key RGB on this

[honest jackal]

north or south facing?

[hoary quail]

no clue

but since it has outemus i can't put many switches on it anyway

[pliant karma]

south for me 🙂

keychron v1

[hoary quail]

i was planning on buying some pudding keycaps for it but they're too expensive where i am

might get some aliexpress ones

[honest jackal]

i have norths, but ive been looking at keychrons, just cant find one that has the delete key on the 65

[hoary quail]

is there something bigger than full size keebs

like full size plus

[pliant karma]

Nice thing I guess that took me a while to notice recently was the VIA support for my V1

use to have to load in a file to edit the layout but I guess now it's recognized

[graceful burrow]

There isn't a name for it but there are some keyboards with a column of macro keys on the left or top

[hoary quail]

yess

love macros

[graceful burrow]

I just use ahk if I need a macro

[honest jackal]

guess im gonna start building a keychron k6 pro

[hoary quail]

i saw that my board is compatible with akko cs switches

which are supposed to be good

maybe pandas too? idk

[pliant karma]

ohh the Q1 Pro is on pre-order on keychrons site. I shall consider that lol

[hoary quail]

i like clicky sound tho

so maybe outemu blues

[honest jackal]

i really like the k6 and wireless is gonna be nice for my laptop, i wonder if TTCs are compatible with that pcb

[pliant karma]

20$ difference between the barebones knob and full assembled knob so ahh fully assembled it is if I do decide on getting it

[balmy lotus]

at MicroCenter for 5th time this month. I have no clue what I’ll get but I’m here for free usb sticks

[lament willow]

Mail me a few :D

[pliant karma]

Aight I ended up spending 160$

[compact cradle]

That's not bad. What did you get? I live 15 minutes from a microcenter but I rarely take advantage of it

[pliant karma]

Thrustmasster Boeing throttle quadrant. 🙂 flight simming gets you down that rabbit hole

same, it's so dangerous

[pliant karma]

Priced matched also so I ended paying less lol

Oh, snap! Nice! I've wanted to try the new flight sim but don't have the computer for it, and I'd probably spend a week just trying to get the plane off the ground.

[manic torrent]

you can simply tell them it's a million dollars

[vital niche]

I do get ppl asking me if I look like I'm just browsing or confused

but yeah that's more when I'm near the floating PoS computer

like in the "open season" area between the aisles

as I like to call it

[manic torrent]

oh yeahhhhh.

[pliant karma]

Lol most of the time when I’m near the POS is for price matching nothing more

Though I’ve learned they’ll price match anything so long as it’s sold by and shipped by said site.

Or shipped by the manufacturer of product

[vital niche]

Imagine if you constructed a plausible MITM proxy that reduces all products you search for as lower

[safe pike]

Hey all. Looking into M.2 drives, but I'm concerned about manufacturers that have been switching out parts for lower-performing ones. Is there a list of any manufacturers that don't do this?

[lament willow]

Anyone know how I would make my pi display whatever picture or video I choose with some sort of web ui (like I could upload whatever video/pic and it would show on the pi)?

[unkempt widget]

as in manufactures that make m.2 drives

or prebuilt companies

[safe pike]

m.2 drive manufacturers. I already have a fairly decent computer, just looking to upgrade it and not get screwed XD

[unkempt widget]

samsung has a reputation of not failing, but most ssd companies wouldn't do it

correction: had*

[safe pike]

cool. I'll definitely take a look into Samsung drives then. I think I remember the recent video on downgrades specifically mentioning them.

isn't it early access anyways

it's not optimized at all lol

[normal cargo]

The 1st one was a bag of balls n all

[polar fern]

The HUD is eye twitch inducing & way too much info in one place. The hardware requirements are bonkers too.

[full fossil]

isnt the recommended gpu like a 3080?

I wasn't a fan of the hud on YouTube but figured it just sommat you'd need to get used to, nobody likes change

Yep xD

1070*

[polar fern]

It’s legit hard to watch the YouTubers play it because of the UI

nope!

ism't all the info just jammed into one spot?

pcgamebenchmark seems less trustworthy than steam

that's a good point ngl

[polar fern]

It’s horrible

Tiny fonts & meters

like the other person said, it is early access...

I had to stop watching

The interface is giving me a headache

[ocean narwhal]

ksp 2 is such a hard buy rn

absolutely no way im spending $50 on that piece of shit

[polar fern]

Yeah I think I’m gonna pass.

[ocean narwhal]

If it goes on sale for MAYBE $30, or once it actually gets playable

[polar fern]

I still have the original & love playing that

[ocean narwhal]

the new literally has less features

[polar fern]

I’m sure a lot of twitch and YouTube streamers and video uploaders will have a great time with it, but it’s definitely not for me.

[unkempt widget]

has anyone in here played any paradox games?

[polar fern]

Still need to try streaming some sinking sandbox

And powder game

[velvet marsh]

[unkempt widget]

i've played a lot, tbh i only played c:s for like three hours on steam

[velvet marsh]

Oh and surviving Mars

[craggy geyser]

I enjoyed Stellaris

Hearts of Iron is great but pretty complicated. at least complicating for me. kinda dumb

[timid meadow]

Anyone in here running a Galaxy Watch 4? Whatcha think of it? Looking for something to help me track workouts and stop picking up my phone so often. Ltt review makes it look solid but id rather get the opinions of people using it over the long term

[ruby cosmos]

i just found out llt had a discord channel when did this happen. ive always used the forum for questions. r they closing down the forum

[timid meadow]

Your a blue name too so you get paid chat. Nope, no forums shutdown. This just exists as its own thing

[ruby cosmos]

paid chat?

[timid meadow]

#pilot-toast is only for floatplane users

yes i subscribed to floatplane a couple days ago. i do once in awhile maybe once a year and watch all the content that is not on youtube

[muted cairn]

I found an iPad today and gave it to the police

They told me after 90 days they will auction it off if the owner doesn't claim it.

[pliant karma]

@manic torrent 👀 2 throttles is overkill but one for Airbus and one for Boeing so yea that’ll do

[hoary quail]

2 throttles

is overkill indeed

i use a keyboard to fly

or drugs but we're not talking about that i don't think

[pliant karma]

to be fair airbus and boeing have different throttle styles and I exclusively fly the pmdg 737 sooo that boeing throttle was a must for me

[hoary quail]

i mean

i guess you're a prosumer of flight equipment

i see a yoke there

[muted cairn]

Who remembers Saitek? They made some good flight stuff

[hoary quail]

i remember the bombs

[pliant karma]

yep it is one of my few expensive hobbies

[hoary quail]

damn

i think the only expensive hobby i have is headphones

[pliant karma]

though the least prioritised out of the 3. #1 is cameras, 2nd keyboards.

[hoary quail]

and it's a want more than a hobby cause i don't have any expensive headphoines

wanna get some audio technica m50x but they're like 300$ where i live

[pliant karma]

headphones later I just started getting into audiophile stuff recently

[hoary quail]

they use those in the wan show! 🤓

Where is your money printer? @pliant karma

my minions are doing it. it's called money laundering

[unkempt widget]

love it

[muted cairn]

@vapid smelt I found an iPad Pro today and gave it to the police since it's illegal to keep it

[pliant karma]

ahh keeping the Cooopa/Bronze and Panda/Thatoneguy virtual turf war alive

[muted cairn]

@pliant karma 1UP 1UP

[pliant karma]

Coopa kidnapped 5 of my minions. I am still trying to rescue them

[muted cairn]

@pliant karma No it wasn't it was Mario

[hoary quail]

just shoot him no?

[vapid smelt]

Mine

[muted cairn]

Racoons are smart af

[hoary quail]

tbh if i could i would also have an expensive gun hobby

just can't buy them yet

couple of months though

[vapid smelt]

Only as smart as human toddlers

[muted cairn]

@hoary quail Speaking about guns I bought a Sig Sauer P365XL last year

[pliant karma]

man says hes got nukes idk if I should be concerned or not lol

[hoary quail]

is that the new service rifle for the army?

i don't think so but my memory is shit

[muted cairn]

@hoary quail No handgun

[hoary quail]

OH

i think i've seen it

i wanna get a 1911 when i can buy one

but they're hella expensive in my country

and i think you can't have any pistols in 45 ACP that aren't revolvers here

[vapid smelt]

What country?

[muted cairn]

I want to get a M45A1 Marine's modern version of the M1911

[hoary quail]

which is funny cause the law requires you to go big iron

[muted cairn]

Glock makes a 45 ACP handgun

[hoary quail]

yes but i can't have it

in my country

[muted cairn]

Sad

[hoary quail]

i would love a raging hornet tbh

[muted cairn]

I own a SCAR 17/H btw

[hoary quail]

but expensive and you will never find rounds for that here

[muted cairn]

I spent over $4k so far

[hoary quail]

damn

nice addiction flex

do you have a carry permit or do you just shoot at the range

[muted cairn]

Base price without the attachments were $3,800

[hoary quail]

i mean, hopefully you still only shoot at the range if you have a carry permit

[muted cairn]

Both

[hoary quail]

but you know what i mean

don't shoot people

[muted cairn]

My state is Constitutional Carry

[hoary quail]

gah damn

murricah

[muted cairn]

Meaning I can carry it anywhere unless a business tells me I can't do it

or a federal/government building

[hoary quail]

funnily enough, carrying a gun is so alien here that i've never seen a no gun sign

[muted cairn]

I had to draw out my handgun back in Nov

[hoary quail]

but you can legally carry, it's just a hassle

[muted cairn]

Because some homeless woman attack me at my workplace at the dumpster area

[hoary quail]

damn

[tepid bolt]

Did you shoot

[muted cairn]

She scratch my face but I didn't shoot her. Just draw out my handgun and called the police

[hoary quail]

i think not

since they said draw

[muted cairn]

We told her 3 times to stay off our dumpster area and she kept getting inside looking for food

[hoary quail]

that sucks

for both tbh

[muted cairn]

We recycle computer parts and we don't keep food in our dumpster. Just scrape metal and other crap

[jagged dune]

that is quite an interesting story ngl-

[hoary quail]

oh ☠️

[muted cairn]

I had to go to court last month and told the judge my story and she was found guilty of assault

[hoary quail]

hope she's eating good food in jail, heard they serve a lot of milk in jail

[muted cairn]

I hope she learns her lesson

[hoary quail]

but i heard joey diaz say that so uh, grain of salt

[muted cairn]

Most likely she's eating baloney sandwiches

[hoary quail]

baloney?

i thought it was bologne

[muted cairn]

Bologna

[hoary quail]

oh

[muted cairn]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bologna_sandwich

[hoary quail]

with an a

i'm not native so some words transcend me

why the hell is there a wikipedia page for bologna sandwiches

[muted cairn]

if you eat Bologna sandwich it means either you're poor you're in prison

Because Wikipedia has everything

[hoary quail]

or you like bologna?

[muted cairn]

I personally have a 50/50 hate and love for the meat

I don't want to eat it

[jagged dune]

wiki for sandwich..

man does everything just have a wiki

[hoary quail]

yes

[runic lagoon]

full throttle !!!

[hoary quail]

in fact there's probably a wiki page for the concept of everything

[jagged dune]

I'll just search up the most random crap and see if I can get a wiki page

i mean its got its up and downs but i like the people ive met here :)

[graceful burrow]

Rookie numbers

[finite cloud]

come on you cant have that much more-

oh.

[graceful burrow]

At 100,000 I will implode the server

[unkempt widget]

i already have 15k

and i joined just 2 months ago

aldo joined a year ago

so i am slightly faster than aldo, so i will beat him eventually

83000/7000=12
i need either 12 years or 2 years (i can't math)

[dreamy rose]

yeah.

[jagged dune]

[finite cloud]

The Apple TV can do PiP wow

[unkempt widget]

wait no

so i'm averaging 15k every 2 months, and aldo is averaging 14.5k every month

two months ago, he would be at 72.5k

so he has a headstart of 72.5k

i average 0.5k more than him every two months

so it would take 145 months to surpass aldo

aka 12 years and 1 month

i can math

[timid meadow]

Damn i thought i talked alot but im barely over 7k

[unkempt widget]

damn

i once had 956 messages in one day

my highest ever was smth like 1030, and that was when i had online lessons

i was on discord for the entire day, instead of learning on zoom

the grind never stops 😎

that was in a different discord server as well

[timid meadow]

I mean the corporate system is paying me to be on discord instead of work. Not much better lul

[unkempt widget]

it was in a mc discord server

[unkempt widget]

your job is discord, and you can't even beat me? that's pathetic tbh

oh i read it wrong lol

[timid meadow]

Damn near. Sit in front of cameras with nothing better to do then discord and YouTube until shit hits the fan

[unkempt widget]

covid and quarantine fucked over my life tbh, but at least now i've recovered

[timid meadow]

Honestly covid was good for me in a weird way. Im giga anti social so the shutdown felt nice and the slow re-normalization of society has given me time to work on myself 🙂

[unkempt widget]

here i'm gonna flex my grades because i need self esteem and i need a way to make myself feel good about myself

[timid meadow]

Good job!

[unkempt widget]

thank you, finally someone who is proud of me

when the grades got sent to my parents, my dad literally looked in my eyes and went "no a* in physics?"

life is hard with asian parents 😔

[timid meadow]

Shit its better then mine. I was a straight A kid until 10th grade. Then i became a C student who barely graduated

[unkempt widget]

fuck i'm in 10th grade

[timid meadow]

Oh no im sorry i believe in you!

[unkempt widget]

no, neither of them felt happy about my grades
the moment i got it my mom said "you got a B in chinese"

[timid meadow]

Nah, show that pride before saying it could be better

[unkempt widget]

the thing is they don't even congratulate me like at all lol

it's very sad, it's almost demotivating, knowing there's no difference anyways

except i find that it's mostly useless
school i mean

[timid meadow]

Damn you gotta be invested in someone to say good job? Sounds rough

[wind pulsar]

Nah, that's not how Asian parents work

[unkempt widget]

anyways, i'm done feeling sorry for myself

i don't think akira's a teenager but sure

[summer folio]

6 of em in my server rn. Ill link you the guy ive been buying from on reddit if you want

[wind pulsar]

Told you before, I ain't trusting any of it

[unkempt widget]

i don't trust them personally, but ig you could buy them

[polar fern]

Momo sittin back & be like -observes while reaching for nuke-

[graceful burrow]

I don't really trust em either

[summer folio]

Great, I found computers laying outside of the bank one day, picked it up & bycycled home. They forgot to wipe the drives tho

IDE harddrives

[unkempt widget]

please, he didn't even insult you

[graceful burrow]

Bro can you not be an ass and or go away

[unkempt widget]

just stop digging yourself into a deeper hole

[wind pulsar]

<@&750150305383186585> Being a dick for genuinely zero reason

[polar fern]

Indeed

[timid meadow]

You gotta get trusted drives. Business refurbs yes, general users are a bit sketchier. The guy i use does professional decoming and resells for extra income

[graceful burrow]

Who do you use?

[unkempt widget]

wow

that's a bit harsh ngl

[summer folio]

Is there any profit in that tho?

[polar fern]

Y’all … be kind or be quiet. It’s not rocket science.

[unkempt widget]

nvm he didn't get deleted completely

[summer folio]

never heard of be kind, but Be Quiet pretty good fans.

[wind pulsar]

Oh I'm not really kind all the time either, but I'm not insulting people for zero reason

But moving on

[timid meadow]

I trust the one i messaged you with my unraid server

[wind pulsar]

Used drives are usually much cheaper, regardless of trusted drives or not, as long they are used

[summer folio]

is it because of the Crypto that used harddrive space for "mining"?

[unkempt widget]

for extra difficulty: run them on raid 0

and don't keep any backups at all

[timid meadow]

Depends how you get the drives. Business often tell the IT guy to just get whats needed and recycle the rest. Sometimes recycling means taking home a shelf full of drives. Sometimes you do enough data migration for business all those free, well cared for drives stack up.

[wind pulsar]

Pretty good btw, but I can feel you.
My parents would've gone 'Why aren't they all A+' as well

We don't use this grading system, we used 100-point systems

The equivalent would be 95/100 points, which was effectively required

[polar fern]

For some folks perfection isn’t enough

[wind pulsar]

I mean yeaaah, but even my parents knew that someone can fuck up once or twice

So they didn't really care that much

[timid meadow]

Part of buying used drives is understanding how backups work. Ive got single parity in unraid, planning on going dual soon. With important data in other places. I expect drives to die, and understand extra drives doesnt mean extra security

[summer folio]

Cool! In Sweden we use
"Not Approved"
"Approved"
"Well Approved"

[unkempt widget]

lol we don't even need 95/100 to get A+

[wind pulsar]

Though as a sidenote, getting under 95 points was already considered 'fucking up'

[polar fern]

My parents have been amazingly supportive.

[unkempt widget]

in our school, anything above an 85/100 is A*, that might sound low, but it's ridiculous when you look at the grade boundaries

[wind pulsar]

Getting 95 points was actually the minimum required to even enter the school in the entrance exam in the first place

Lmfao

[unkempt widget]

(e.g. history is 59% to get an A* last year)

[summer folio]

Simpler to just have 3 grades

[wind pulsar]

That's ridiculous lmao

[unkempt widget]

but one year, biology was like 185/200 to get an A*

[unkempt widget]

history is literally impossible lol

[summer folio]

Oh, high school

[wind pulsar]

You have to remember that WE also have at least a thousand years worth of history, YOU dipshits just have another thousand years that may or may not just be mythical

[unkempt widget]

we learn 20th century world history lol
international school

[wind pulsar]

How is that impossible then

[unkempt widget]

it's not hard to remember it, it's hard to get a high score

[wind pulsar]

[polar fern]

👀

[summer folio]

🚢

[unkempt widget]

mark scheme is very finicky

[wind pulsar]

Maybe I'm just biased because of my school, idk xD

[unkempt widget]

i did get 78% on one of the papers, but another paper (source analysis) i only got 58%, mainly because the mark scheme was looking for something specific

[polar fern]

I remember school

[unkempt widget]

i remember one time getting a 10/10 in an essay question

highlight of my life tbh

[wind pulsar]

Love how a Japanese woman called a Chinese teen a dipshit even though the Chinese literally were the reason Japan called itself 'Nippon' in the first place because China kept calling Japan 'dipshits'

[marsh jungle]

my school's grading system for this year has never been so desperate for money
80+/100 = A

the more people graduate, more money the district makes

[wind pulsar]

(They called them 'dwarf' back then, but dipshit is funnier)

[golden talon]

dwarf... sounds about accurate

[unkempt widget]

it is lol

[polar fern]

Folks let’s not drift into tos topics

[unkempt widget]

it depends on where it is
in britain, grades are marked much lower than in america

[graceful burrow]

He doesn't seem to be in anything rn unfortunately

[wind pulsar]

I can't really speak for Japan tbh, I know pretty much all schools use the 100 point system and they have regular grades, but I didn't go to a public school xD

[polar fern]

Japan has a wind phone

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_phone

[wind pulsar]

Interesting, never heard of it

[heady flicker]

[brave lodge]

What’s your guys’s favorite switch weight

[heady flicker]

neat it has a wikipedia link though

[brave lodge]

Am I weird for loving 45g

[unkempt widget]

everything is on wikipedia

[unkempt widget]

yes

[heady flicker]

45g is fine

[brave lodge]

What’s your fave then

[heady flicker]

I personally use 40g

[brave lodge]

I got some 65 and 63.5

Am afraid they be too heavy

Lol, I think I should go lower

[heady flicker]

shouldn't be too bad

your fingers are strong

[brave lodge]

Isn’t it hard to type on that for such a long time

[unkempt widget]

nvm i misremembered

[heady flicker]

no, not really

[unkempt widget]

i use 60g

[polar fern]

We could all use a wind phone at times.

[polar fern]

[golden talon]

Only thing i’m screaming in the car is some banger ass music

sometimes you just need to scream out your pain, y'know

it's better than throwing things tbh

[golden talon]

i prefer car

I prefer not having a giant expensive liability

[golden talon]

just drive safely

[fluid ridge]

motorcycles are like bikes but better

[polar fern]

Disagree

[fluid ridge]

• you wont be holding down traffic going 15km/h on a bike as there's a line forming behind

[golden talon]

see motorcycles are just unsafe

like you can straight up die

[polar fern]

Why would I be holding up traffic?

[fluid ridge]

i think there are unsafe riders and unsafe drivers

[fluid ridge]

are you not riding on the road?

[ocean narwhal]

I bet bikes on road are more dangerous than motor cycle

[golden talon]

and this is coming from a guy who does 170 mph regularly on my CBR600RR

[unkempt widget]

bike lanes exist

[fluid ridge]

they dont exist everywhere

especially not where i live

[polar fern]

@fluid ridge breh

[fluid ridge]

bike lanes are still few and far between

[fluid ridge]

i want a motorcycle

[golden talon]

it’s fun

[unkempt widget]

if a motorcycle crashed into a car, both the car driver and the motorcyclist die
if a bike crashed into a car, neither of them die

[fluid ridge]

i am going to save up my mooneys for a H2

or an R1

[golden talon]

get a 400Cc bike first

then upgrade to 600

[fluid ridge]

we go big or go home

[golden talon]

no bro

you WILL fucking die if you get a 600 cc as your first bike

forget 1000 cc

[fluid ridge]

i will die anyways

[polar fern]

Bike lane? I don’t use those

[golden talon]

rather not die face planting into a truck

[fluid ridge]

but id rather die on an absolutely epic piece of machinery

[golden talon]

Ok i can understand that feeling

[unkempt widget]

you know why people no longer say "yolo?"

because everyone who says that have already died

[polar fern]

Bikes are machines.

[fluid ridge]

the kawasaki H2 goes 0-400kmh-0 in 26 seconds

[golden talon]

this was one of my test pulls on my cbr

[summer folio]

Yamaha V-max > All

[fluid ridge]

your bike is very slow

[golden talon]

it truly is

and yet most noobs will die on their first ride on it

[fluid ridge]

the very fast ones go 160-300 faster than most cars go 0-60 🗿

[polar fern]

Zzz

[unkempt widget]

the very fast cars go 160-300 as well

[summer folio]

1,679 cc V4

[fluid ridge]

not at the same speed a bike will

[golden talon]

the best bike is the M1000RR

[unkempt widget]

they go 160-300mph

[fluid ridge]

the kawasaki H2 can go 0-400kmh-0 in 25ish seconds

[polar fern]

The best bike is the one with pedals ❤️🚲

[unkempt widget]

how long will it go from 400 to 0

[fluid ridge]

yeah once you spend 5 million dollars

[fluid ridge]

not sure, but id imagine that takes quite a bit of time

[fluid ridge]

i think the R1 looks the best

[fluid ridge]

i dont have one :C

[golden talon]

exactly

[fluid ridge]

soon™️ i will

[polar fern]

All them sports out on the public road

[golden talon]

just drive responsibly

[wind pulsar]

.. at 160

[unkempt widget]

don't drive 15% over the speed limit kids

[golden talon]

if the road is empty there’s no problem

[fluid ridge]

if i could i would drive unresponsibly but my car does not have the capability to allow me to drive unresponsibly

[golden talon]

it’s irresponsible to do 160 in traffic

[unkempt widget]

you're gonna hit a bollard and die

[golden talon]

good

[polar fern]

Traffic … you are the traffic

[wind pulsar]

So if the speed limit is 130 I can drive 143? Great

[golden talon]

i don’t care as long as i’m the only one in risk

i’m doing what i do because it’s fun to me

[unkempt widget]

isn't that how laws work?

[fluid ridge]

i dont think speed is a problem in responsible driving at all, look at the germans

[golden talon]

True

[fluid ridge]

how many people have crashed on the autobahn, probably zero

[golden talon]

i’m going to germany this summer

[unkempt widget]

that's only on the autobahn and on a place where everyone drives at the same speed

[heady flicker]

rigorous training is important

[fluid ridge]

yeah we can move that everywhere

[polar fern]

You’re never the only one. There’s the first responders & people who have to scrap your bike pieces

[unkempt widget]

if you're in a city, nobody drives at 160

[wise tundra]

I need to label a socket so that it tells you it carries both 12V and Composite video. What would be a good way? I've been thinking about 12V+AV but I don't carry audio over the port. An other one would be 12V+CVBS but not everyone knows what CVBS stands for.

[wind pulsar]

Nah, people are statisticially actually safer on the Autobahn than they are on a road with speedlimits

[fluid ridge]

exactly, that's my point

[polar fern]

12v ac or dc?

[heady flicker]

getting a license in germany is much difficult than in the united states

[fluid ridge]

speed es no problemo

[wise tundra]

DC

[unkempt widget]

it's kinda like a nuclear power plant, or an airplane

[golden talon]

yet i can drive there with my united states license

[wind pulsar]

Ik, I was agreeing with you

[polar fern]

12VDC/Cv

[unkempt widget]

an airplane is much safer than a car, but if something happens to an airplane, it's a big issue

[fluid ridge]

🤝

[wise tundra]

I carry the composite signals and the power to two composite cameras over an RJ12 connector

[fluid ridge]

just get a better pilot bro

[unkempt widget]

if you drive at 30 when the speed limit's 60, that's probably more unsafe than driving at 70 when the speed limit is 60

[wind pulsar]

That doesn't really matter considering you can just drive there with an US licence or any licence that you made within the EU, lol

[wise tundra]

Is Cv a real naming for it?

[unkempt widget]

but it's much safer to crash at 30 than to crash at 70

[wind pulsar]

Yup, most countries actually have a law against driving irresponsibly slow

[unkempt widget]

yep

[golden talon]

if you’re doing 30 in a 60 i’m honking at your ass until you speed the fuck up lol

[unkempt widget]

which is perfectly fair

[golden talon]

that’s funny af

[unkempt widget]

if that's happening, i will wait until the green light while turning right even when there's nobody crossing the road

just to piss you off

[golden talon]

i’m whiteline certified for a reason

[unkempt widget]

even though i'm the wrong person, i will still hate you

[unkempt widget]

it'll be far more effective in a place where there's a camera

[golden talon]

me when the truck

[unkempt widget]

jesus, drive responsibly

[fluid ridge]

why do bmws come with turn signals

[unkempt widget]

my dad always floors it even if it's turning red in a split second

[fluid ridge]

this is perfectly safe because there's a delay

[unkempt widget]

i'm surprised he still hasn't lost his license

[unkempt widget]

as in, it's gonna turn red the split second he reaches the crosswalk

[fluid ridge]

when you turn left with oncoming traffic, oftentimes you need to wait for a yellow, and if the oncoming traffic is running the yellow, you wait for the red

[unkempt widget]

which is illegal btw

at least in china, it's illegal

[fluid ridge]

you live in china?

[unkempt widget]

fun fact: the maximum penalty for drunk driving is 7 years in prison in china

[unkempt widget]

U need a vpn for discord in China?

[golden talon]

you need a vpn for a lot of stuff

[fluid ridge]

isnt it incredibly hard to get a license plate in china?

[unkempt widget]

the legal limit in china is 0% in china

[fluid ridge]

i saw on top gear that only 3/1000 people got a license plate in bejing

[summer folio]

Kawasaki H2 does 0-60 mph in 2.6 sec
Yamaha VMAX does 0-60 mph in 2.5 sec

you will get a 1k-2k fine if you're in 0-0.08%

[fluid ridge]

least restrictive chinese law

[golden talon]

tesla model s plaid does 0-60 in 2 seconds

if it's 0.08%, you get 3 years in prison max, 5 years license suspension

[fluid ridge]

wtf is a yamaha vmax

[unkempt widget]

if you hit someone, 7 years in prison

[wind pulsar]

There's lots of laws that are just fine lmao

[summer folio]

It does not sound as cool as VMAX.

[wind pulsar]

It says something if you need the fastest electric production car in the world to beat a bike in 0 to 60

[unkempt widget]

and permanent suspension from driving

[silent skiff]

watching wan show... so Apple bad for not having an unlock used devices program...wait, they've had one for years that works largely automatically...so apple still bad

[golden talon]

h2 is the fastest production bike in the world though

[silent skiff]

seriously why do i still watch this joke asshole

[unkempt widget]

the most unfortunate thing is to drive a day or so after you drank, and you get caught with 0.01% bac

[fluid ridge]

is there a difference between the H2 and the H2R

[golden talon]

yes

[fluid ridge]

absolutely incorrect

boxers rebellion was a wild time lol

STOP ARGUING EVERYONE :(

[wind pulsar]

Literally everybody remembers, that's one of the reasons why China is absolutely pissed today

[manic torrent]

and the opium wars

[fluid ridge]

i think the current chinese administration got it lucky

[wind pulsar]

Hm? xD

[unkempt widget]

the 100 years of humiliation was such a big, well, humiliation for china, they will never forget, even if it's a completely different form of government

[unkempt widget]

it was an earlier argument

[kind reef]

isnt winnie the pooh always angry about something?

[unkempt widget]

about buying things that are ethical

[fluid ridge]

the nationalists were the ones fighting a 2 front war, with the majority against the japanese, and then with the communists

[unkempt widget]

wrong period and incorrect, but pop off

[fluid ridge]

i know there was something about a ceasefire during the japanese invasion but iirc the nationalists were the ones fighting mainly

My mate here Triage doesn't understand why anyone would spend money on better conditions for workers.

[wind pulsar]

Oh dear

[unkempt widget]

the qing dynasty and the sino-japanese war and the chinese civil war are all different periods of chinese history

[median idol]

Me watching this debate unfold

[unkempt widget]

[wind pulsar]

I mean, he's also like 15, so there's no way he'd fully understand anyway

[unkempt widget]

that's not an excuse, i'm 15 too

[manic torrent]

if he was 5, yeah ok.

[fluid ridge]

sorry to be clear my position was that if the product was made with good worker support that would be excellent, however most people would not be willing to spend more for something as intangible as the morality of your production process

also i am not 15

[unkempt widget]

it doesn't take being an adult to understand why humans deserve rights

[fluid ridge]

idk where that came from

[unkempt widget]

even worse but go ahead

[manic torrent]

"intangible as morals or ethics"

[fluid ridge]

physically intangible*

[manic torrent]

that's not what you said

[unkempt widget]

is there intangibly intangible?

[fluid ridge]

ok fair

[wind pulsar]

Dw about it, I've said the 'Aren't you like 15' to like 7 people

[manic torrent]

I screenshotted it because it was phenomally bad

[fluid ridge]

then i stay with my argument, intangible

[kind reef]

Besides, what debate or discussion did I just join?
I just sorta woke up here, having my first coffee of the day

[unkempt widget]

more than 7 i bet

[wind pulsar]

Nah, 7 is actually a bit of a stretch even

I heard that whatever is in the bank doesn't count because it isn't cold hard cash. Let's give Triage a crippling university and hospital debt of $800,000 and $1200 networth, with a job that pays $12/h

[wispy marsh]

Imposter?

[wind pulsar]

Yes, but also extremely normal, especially for freshmen

[manic torrent]

it's very much related to the dunning-kruger effect

[unkempt widget]

[wispy marsh]

And he recently borrowed 600k from the federal bank for the house, and 1.3m from shady moneylenders to fund a gambling addiction

I've been raised that whatever I do can't go wrong, so I just don't think about how it could go wrong

I know shit can go wrong, I just don't think about it

[unkempt widget]

damn, i'm always very hesitant to do anything tbh

[manic torrent]

I flipflop between absolute confidence and crippling anxiety 😄

[manic torrent]

eh, that's life.

I set my video card on fire the other day

... while I was replacing the motherboard.

[fluid ridge]

man you guys are getting hung up on the wrong point of my argument, i was just stating the fact that most people would be unwilling to buy the same items if it meant that one would be more expensive than the other, due to factors that cannot be seen in the final produc

[full fossil]

Yeah right? It's like

[wind pulsar]

I cut myself on ram before, no problem

[full fossil]

I don't deserve to be here kind of thing

[plush rivet]

I’d be so curious how

[median idol]

Like I do and ask myself "what in fuck's name am I doing?"

[manic torrent]

hahaha, no, you don't understand what you're saying, because most people don't work that way - most people care about other people, generally.

[fluid ridge]

i have cut myself on my CPU cooler multiple times

[manic torrent]

I can cut myself on anything
