decimation: no
there was a 'tesla
teardown' I linked here awhile ago
decimation: even if improved by a factor of 2x (energy density at
the same cost) it would be a huge win
mats: i'm cheering for
tesla
to somehow succeed, if musk improves batt
tech
thats a net win for mankind
☟︎ ben_vulpes: there's also
the 'battery paste' stuff
decimation: and
the batteries get worse with age and cold
decimation: plus, unlike gas, it
takes hours
to 'fill' instead of seconds
ben_vulpes: it is
terrifically good at what it does.
decimation: yeah I suppose
they have some kind of heat pump
ben_vulpes: my ac is plumbed from
the hydraulic system
ben_vulpes: i'll
take
the ancient corvette any day.
decimation: if batteries were about 10x more energy density
they would be
the no-brainer solution
☟︎ decimation: that's
the equivalent energy of about 2.5 gal of gas
decimation: yeah,
they stuff more lithium batteries I guess
decimation: Details for how
Tesla can offer
this quicker option can be found in CEO Elon Musk's blog post (available below), but
the gist is
that a new advanced smart fuse for
the battery allows an increase in
the maximum amp
throughout from 1,300
to 1,500 amps.
This will cost new buyers $10,000, but current P85D owners can get
the upgrade pack electronics for $5,000 plus installation labor, for
the next six months."
mod6: i'll give one a
try as soon as it's built and ready
to
test.
mod6: how hard is gonna be
to do a new buildroot for
this one?
decimation: in
this case it was an LC meter I
think
decimation: the writer of an article was complaining
that some of
the designs featured in earlier articles are cranked out by chinese and sold on ebay
decimation: I was reading my ham radio experimenters magazine
today
decimation: asciilifeform: worst case you can use it
to watch
turd
tv
mod6: ah. ok. looks like
this one im looking at on google is $13.46 is
that about what
the cost is?
mod6: (is
this like a google
tv-like
thing?)
mod6: ok so you use
this miracast
thing and you link up a 500gb usb drive, good
to go?
mod6: when we were at
the bazzar
there was a bunch of neat
trinkets
mod6: i like how ascii has
the oldest looking deck of cards i've seen.
ben_vulpes: might even approach full utilization of
the capital equipment
that way, instead of
this insane 1:1 car:butt ratio where
they're mostly stationary all of
the
time.
ben_vulpes: witness car2go, zipcar,
the whole nine.
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> <mircea_popescu> in retrospect, his going
to war with
the dealers sunk his car business. << Beware
the
trade guilds << prole ownership of cars is going away. period.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: we can have wifi in
the cardano after all!
trinque will have
to see if
the local army surplus has it
trinque: how bout
that, something
that looks like a fucking
tool
trinque: and really, is
there any higher freedom
than pyrotechnic freedom?
mod6: so now i have
to fill up a plastic/glass cup and
then
throw it in
there from a distance.
trinque: heh for
this and other reasons, bitcoin.
mod6: i've got a wide mouth USG pos
that would light my damn balls on fire in
the process.
trinque: somebody probably knew somebody
that made
the
tardspout
mod6: typicall usg:
take something
that works perfectly well and
then wreck
the goddamnthing
trinque: they still bloated up
though and hissed when you popped
the vent
trinque: and
then
the spout on
the other end
trinque: yeah, mine had
tiny pinhole vents with a plastic cover
trinque: you just peel
the
thing slowly
trinque: mod6: yeah, lived in
tx for a long
time, had
these
mod6: and it is
true, i spill much more gas pouring it out of
the open mouth without shitsucker nozzle into a funnel with no goddamn breather hole.
mod6: my favorite: "So for
the last
three years, you have not been able
to buy gas cans
that work properly. ..."
mod6: bah, i've lived in one of
the hottest places in
the world. sure,
the cans get bloated a bit. just don't stick your face 1" from
the
thing when opening
the lid. simple.
decimation: "There’s also
the problem of
the exploding can. On hot days,
the plastic models
to which
this regulation applies can blow up like balloons. When you release
the
top, gas flies everywhere, including possibly on a hot engine. "
decimation: they didn't pass a law,
they just made it known
that making gas cans
that vent
to
the atmosphere wouldn't make
them very happy
trinque: "As you can see, inasmuch as
the seal has not been broken,
the warranty still stands." << lol!
trinque: yeah, going
to call amazon and ask wtf
mats: or just return it
to sender
mats: suggested method
to corrode mechanical drives
mats: does
that work on SSDs?
trinque: for someone who does not live here... with no receipt or anything in
the packaging
trinque: I just got a 500gb SSD in
the mail supposedly for amazon
mod6: `whipper snipper'
that's fantasic. im gonna call it
that from now on.
cazalla: that is your
typical petrol can found here
mod6: wow.
that's different.
cazalla: never used an eco can so i can't say, i just use one of
these
http://i.imgur.com/hcbpjLY.jpg with a spout but when i was doing some chainsaw work,
they had
these newfangled combi cans and
those
things are awesome
mod6: i was so mad.
the girl didn't want
to
talk
to me for 20 minutes because she said was laughing like i was insane.
mod6: the first one i ever used i snapped
the fucker while
trying
to unlock it...
mod6: yeah, eco can. im not
the only one, search "new gas can sucks"
cazalla: google search shows it
to be an eco but quite similar
to a combi can.. seems
to be user error imo :P
mod6: i feel like i've said all
this before in here
too,
then jurov linked me
to something lol.
cazalla: mod6,
that looks like a combi can, not sure
mod6: this is
the spout: i.ytimg.com/vi/nytxlA-G1Sk/maxresdefault.jpg
mod6: Oh and did I mention
there's no rear breather hole
to let
the stream pour smoothly?
