BingoBoingo: I actually saw a
Tesla here driving in backwater exurban
town. Have no Idea why.
mircea_popescu: "here's my very expensive excuse as
to why i'm not going out of
the house. it's not
that im borderline autistic, it's
that i save
the environment. from myself."
BingoBoingo: But great work on
that panel pete_dushenski
mircea_popescu: phf> i suspect
that failures in
this case are seen as being on bleeding edge, sort of meta-meta-maker << maybe
the
truth is,
the people who buy
teslas don't have anywhere
to go anyway.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Kinda why if I replace it I am looking at incredibly common compact
trucks
pete_dushenski: but mechanical components are always readily at hand. can only imagine
tesla ownership in backwaters such as
these
phf: some part of car is replaced by a 3d printed equivalent,
there's stl models and
tutorials on maker.tesla.com, details on how
to print your own, spiffier version
pete_dushenski: phf lol inb4 3d printer option in-between backseats so kids can 'innovate' while on road
trip
pete_dushenski: "oh you broke your screen/headlight ?
that'll be 3/4 of
the cost of a new one."
phf: i suspect
that failures in
this case are seen as being on bleeding edge, sort of meta-meta-maker
BingoBoingo: I don't get how
they can be happy with just a 200 mile range before refilling
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo
that's
the mark of an actual car, as opposed
to a 'smartphone'
pete_dushenski: "Despite
the problems, our data show
that
Tesla owner satisfaction is still very high: Ninety-seven percent of owners said
they would definitely buy
their car again." << now
that's a fucking cult
BingoBoingo: Every couple years something expected
to wear out wears out, but other
than
that it's not needed much other
than maintenance
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo i have fond memories of
those saturnmobiles. some fillies in undergrad had
them.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's pretty bad compared
to my more
than a decade old Saturn plastic car
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2015 17:51:01; mircea_popescu: speaking of condoms... for many years, i was using imported magnums. broke like...i dunno,
twenty over a decade ? easily 1%.
BingoBoingo: "The main problem areas involved
the drivetrain, power equipment, charging equipment, giant iPad-like center console, and body and sunroof squeaks, rattles, and leaks."
BingoBoingo: "The brake rotors
tend
to warp. And
the door handles often fail
to “present”
themselves as drivers approach
their cars."
pete_dushenski: aha. which reminds me, i need
to put
that on my grocery list !
assbot: Logged on 20-10-2015 19:06:16; ascii_field: l0l cisco box. mircea_popescu
took it off a dead nazi, or what.
pete_dushenski: "note
that
they are artwork in any sense" sounds funny. like it should either be "not
that
they are artwork in any sense" or "note
that
they are NOT artwork in any sense"
mircea_popescu: phf and what's
this say about inflation ? note
that
they are artwork in any sense.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: phf almost as good as bitcoin,
that. just harder
to ship.
pete_dushenski: much as
tlp is finding new life here, with fresher, more mature eyes
pete_dushenski: the essences made far more sense
than
they did whenever i read
them last, maybe 6-9 months ago
pete_dushenski: also re-read
the essences
trifecta on
trilema
today. i guess it's an expressions and changes kinda day.
assbot: Logged on 20-10-2015 17:33:01; ascii_field: mircea_popescu: 'And it is because
the real estate prices in Beijing etc have made it so
that young women are unaffordable.' << what does
this mean?
pete_dushenski: like romanian kids wanted
to work for 'international firm', canadians want politicians like usistan has.
pete_dushenski: first dynasty, young handsome charmer, because why not put
the best of bush and obama into a blender and ship
the product up north ?
pete_dushenski: or justin
trudeau is buying every canadian a phree double-double
BingoBoingo: Back in 2012 I was exposed
to far more of
that shit.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski:
That I guess could also be it.
pete_dushenski: blocked in browser, none in here, don't pass many billboards, don't hardly watch
tv
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo how'd you know ? i sure wouldn't. hardly ever see advertising
tbh
pete_dushenski: haven't seen a movie in
theatres in a few months,
thinking
the new bond flick will break
the seal.
pete_dushenski: oh well, good
thing bellucci is still makes movies i guess
mircea_popescu: that's right : voting obama is NOT more advanced
than being a redneck. it is LESS so.
mircea_popescu: the
trully horrid Meeks and Jeste "study" on "wisdom" and
that fucktard Henry Nasrallah's repackaging of
the same are splendid anecdotal points
to drive
this entire "the difference between a libertard and a religious bigot is
that
the religious bigot is actually anachronistic, and in
this sense MORE CULTURALLY ADVANCED."
mircea_popescu: (but,
to keep
things sophisticated -
the raphe is more visible in males
than in females ; also males lack a penis bone, much like
the horse lacks a clavicle. it has been suggested
that
THIS is what
the adam rib story is all about - god
took man's penis bone and left a cvasi-scar.)
ascii_field: in
the same shangri-la as
the little vs big-endian debates.
mircea_popescu: where's
the whole whorl - and - sexuality discussion anyway!
mircea_popescu: (idle
thought : if internet porn "objectifies women" / "contains experts", where's all
the articles expertly discussing
the relative value of a whorl on said raphe ? what do you
think, do women with
twin hairline do better in bed
than
the normal (single line) ?
mircea_popescu: the hd is
there so you can see what a good job
the bikini wax salon did on her perineal raphe.
jurov: and
the pic is halfway
there
jurov: maybe it's just me but i don't like porn zooming all in
to genitalia and spending minutes
there, especially in
this
time of huge HD screens
☟︎ jurov: mircea_popescu: sorry
to disappoint you, male model isn't more fully visible
mircea_popescu: but it is seriously
teh
traditional panacea for female/passive element of youthful complexion with midrif sores.
ascii_field: 'we'll make
trucks over five
tonnes switch sides first!'
☟︎ mircea_popescu: im
trying
to cater
to both heterosexual and homosexual prurient interest.
jurov: eh, pete's
trying
to paint us fourth reich or whatevs

mircea_popescu: aaand ethereum is back

mircea_popescu: oh right right, i guess im ruined in fetlife (bdsm ?) because
they banned some random people just in case we were connected. lolk.
shinohai: I'm at a loss on
that one
too. Not like I can't just make another friggin account, or
that I even care what
they
think, etc.
shinohai: I dunno, I
tweeted something some
time ago about
them being no better
than scammers for
their support of GAW,
they
threatened
to have me removed from
twitter, etc.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact,
there's no room in attention for
the
thing and its copy, which is why isms are for
the stupid and
the poor.
ascii_field: to borrow from old west, 'ain't room enough in
town for
the both of'em' -
the humanist and humanity,
that is.
mircea_popescu: rape, for
the wails, kill, for
the evolutionary considerations.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at sanity ranch : punch an enlightened douchebag
today.
the fact Maya Angelou, diane keaton, Nancy Reagan et all haven't died with a cock shaped icepick
through
their eyes is bad enough.
mircea_popescu: ey have a predisposition
to aggression and violence..."
mircea_popescu: "In keeping with
this development, sometime in
the future cord bloods will be
taken routinely from birth and used
to delineate
the individual's DNA so
that genetic information will be readily available under emergency conditions

mircea_popescu: 0 feedback, which puts
them WAY ahead of what your AVERAGE human being achieves.
mircea_popescu: you can run a bunch of
tv specials about "ratcism",
they're still gonna do exactly what
they did before
mircea_popescu: yes. you can surveillance
them until you fall over,
they're gonna do whatever
they did before.
