What if the tranch was in cwcville what would happen

This except half of Bugs' teeth are missing.

So was Bro-sie left behind on the Tranch? How’s he gonna forage his way outta there?

In the absence of other available evidence, I'm going to have to assume he went back to live with his family, who never gave up on him but who he hated because they never enabled his gender feels.

If he'd managed to hitch his wagon to another group I'm sure we would have heard something (but his fedposter ways may have put people off). The shame of moving back in with his boujie family would probably get him to clam up.

That or he's still living on the Tranch and in denial about the pending eviction (or moved in with Sky? Where does Sky live? We know he used to come round for board game nights after he moved out)

So just "jump starting" a failed 12 volt battery wont work. I suspect fedposter J was to dumb to figure this out. If you just plug in a completely flat dead leaf nothing will happen. If you "jump start" it will charge for a little bit then stop charging when you unhook the jumper cables.

That’s not quite right, if the high voltage battery will accept charge at all then the DC-DC converter will kick in as normal and take over from your jump battery. Just like in a gas car once the alternator is turning.
I agree that the 12V battery will very definitely be dead though, that’s a given, and the best thing to do IS replace it.

I don't know the chemistry of the batteries in the leaf but I suspect leaving them flat dead for 2 years with many freeze/thaw cycles has completely fucked them.

They’re a typical nickel - manganese - cobalt chemistry. As with any lithium battery, the thing guaranteed to kill it is running it really flat (like, below 0%). Then the voltage disappears and an irreversible electrochemical change happens so that it’s unusable. Normally the car protects itself quite well against this happening, but if it was already low when parked, and has then sat for 2 years.. yeah, well, it says not to do that in the manual.

The leaf is actually quite bulletproof in normal use though.

Someone would have to be unfathomably stupid to think a car like this is a good idea for living in a remote area basically off the grid.

Sort of; that area, on the tranch, yes its the dumbest fucking move.
If you have a lot of good-condition roads and a mess of solar panels, using an electric would let you be free of Big Oil or wtf ever. Rigged up correctly, your Electic vehicle can also be used as an addtional battery bank.

If your goal is to minimize your dependency on routine outside service - that is, you don't care that you need to import a new battery pack from Asia every 3-5 years and drive into the city to get it installed, or you don't care that if the engine shits itself you have to go to the dealer to get it serviced as long as you aren't needing to stop by the gas station every week - it makes sense if you have the solar (or hydro, if you're nasty) to keep the thing topped up + run all your other shit.
The Tranch didn't have enough solar to run their toys, let alone heating +cooling, let alone top up an electric.

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

Guess Boner learned that Earl doesn't just drive an F150 because he hates polar bears, they're actually ideally suited to ranching.

I didn't realize that polar bears had that skill set.

 

[AfghanBlue]

The Tranchers are still mostly silent on social media. Now that they're leeching off of Penny's parents, they don't need to maintain a social media presence for grifting purposes, so I wouldn't be surprised if this silence continues for a long time.
I mainly want to know the fate of Fedposter J and the field serfs.

Shiteater Jen made a few posts on the Fediverse:

I'm assuming this is about moving into Penny's parents' house.

Unsurprisingly, Jen has been busy tinkering in RPG maker rather than doing any useful. He's one of Penny's "pets" after all, so he doesn't need to work.

He shared this:

Oh, look! This answers a lot. The Tranchers have basically retreated to Discord to avoid the prying eyes of Kiwis and Paul.

"Jennifer" is Shiteater jen. Alynna is that fairy fox freak.

you should probably hide that hogwarts spoiler, i dont have it or know if it spoils the game much or how much people care, but the troons are deliberately spoiling it as a weapon so it'd be nice not to help them with anything.

in other news, it's really depressing to know you can eat pine cones. must be awful, might as well eat the wooden handle of a shovel.

Spoiler: “Yet more Leaf-sperging”

Right, and there’s a use-case where it could have worked for the tranch too. If you have a location where you can regularly charge up during the day, preferably from solar (like an office job) then you can take a useful amount of energy home with you and use that instead of burning diesel.
This capability was actually used to market the leaf when it was first released in Japan in 2011, as a form of resilience to natural disasters.
Modern EVs like the F150 now offer it as standard.

Fucking city folk out here thinking we eat the whole cone! You eat the seeds, not the cone! Then you use the needles to make pine needle tea for some vitamin C.

Perhaps they were hoping that Kevvie on his treadmill could power the tranch?

If my worst moments were online, I'd probably have a thread.

It's fun to think about how many degrees of separation or key moments that take a relatively normal person and turn them into a prolific cow on message board.

Could be as small as deciding to become friends with one weirdo who was couch surfing at 35 in a college town, has storage for a bunch of entertainment memorabilia (not expensive shit, just cardboard cutouts and the like), and believes himself to be in the realm of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.

Eventually wrote some god awful sci-fi books where it's obvious the main character is a self-insert and it's all named after an episode of Reboot, though he won't acknowledge it. Oh, and the dedication page is to some girl who was underage who ghosted him and sounds as insane as you think. Speaking from personal experience!

Thankfully that friendship did not continue.

Also Paul needs to stop being fucking retarded. His stories all lose credibility because he refuses to share any blame. Even trannies, with their broken brains can sometimes get their bullshit detector going. I don't think the anti-Tranch sentiment will spread until then, but he can't because of his trooned-out ego. If there's any possibility of the real truth getting out, the only way to come out looking less bad is by getting in front of it.

 

[Flamin Park]

I really hope some lunatic urbexer decides to explore and video document the tranch in its current post-troon state.
Either that or Ethan Ralph shows up there (like when Chris Chan got arrested) and gets a moon-ammo size hole drilled in him by Fedposter.

That would require Fedposter J to be able to hit a target and he's been training under Penis

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

Who gives a shit?????

We do.

What if the tranch was in cwcville what would happen

It would be Sonichus and Rosechus dying, not Alpacas. It would be less tragic and less of a loss to the world at large.

The whole point of the Tranch was to grift donations from online trannies while running a combination petting zoo/Waco compound. Notice that the Tranch fell apart not long after the donations dried up and the reality of the situation (namely the daily reality of alpaca shit and dead animals) began hitting home. They had no intention of living off the grid/setting up a tranny commune/whatever the hell they had originally said. It was all about living on donations.

 

[SlaanyChaser]

Honestly, I hope Sky comes out the winner here.

Between him and Penny, Jen, Kevin, Fedposter J, Mandozer, and Kindness, he's the only one I don't have an active negative opinion about.

I might eat my words in a month based on further information, but at least he has the presence of mind not to share his every thought on Twitter and that makes me think he's one of the smarter ones.

Remember Sky did kill a dog through negligently letting it hang out the window of a moving vehicle.

I'd say the blame is 60% the other troons though for letting a slow in da mind drive.

 

[KiwiFuzz]

You can eat pine nuts from some kinds of pine cones. Piñon pines are the gold standard: the nuts are easy to get out and easy to shell. The Natives where I live would eat ghost pine (aka digger pine) nuts and it was a whole thing, like they would have someone whose whole job was to chant while other people actually got the cones.

Fedposter J has collected Douglas fir and maybe lodgepole pine or some shit.

These are not considered edible species. This is not a bowl of food, it is a bowl of decorative materials.

He spent 225 hours on that? holy shit I have seen abandoned yume nikki fangames on Uboachan that looked better than that, made in an engine 20 years older.
It genuinely looks like every rpgmaker kiddie's first project, it's all RTP sprites and tiles (so the ones that come preinstalled with RPG Maker) and the title screen looks like absolute ass. I can't listen to the video but I bet he's using the shitty stock music that comes with RPG Maker too.

Of course he is, he's a troon. He can't make art, he can't make music, he can't properly code without a tool like RPG Maker, and I'd bet the Tenacious Unicorn ranch he can't tell a compelling story.

I still don't believe that story, I think they killed that dog accidentally and concocted a really idiotic cover-up.
