"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

[Oxyjen]

I've heard that shit eats the power bill like nothing else. Broke fuckers like me have to deal with gas power cars.

It works out to a couple of cents per mile, depends what state you’re in how clean or how cheap the energy is of course.
And no oil or filter changes, almost never need brake replacement, no cat to get stolen, no DPF to get blocked, no muffler to rust out. There’s just not much to go wrong.

 

[ForTheHoard]

I fucking despise anime with the exception of Afro Samurai. I've had anime friends push their favorite shit on me for years and I couldn't watch more than 10 minutes of any of it. That being said, I doubt Josh would like Afro Samurai. I think the only reason I like it is because I'm very into 1970's American nigger culture because I grew up watching shit like Good Times and The Jeffersons. It plays out like a blacksploitation movie but set in feudal Japan with near-future weapons technology sprinkled in. It also features a lot of music from RZA and I'm a pretty staunch Wu-Tang appreciator.

Josh might not be able to get over the annoying nigger shit enough to enjoy it.

If you can drive them for long enough which afaik is currently unreasonable, with ICE a total powertrain issue can be resolved with an swap for under 10k, often well under because a used/salvage powertrain is fine. For a battery it has to be new and they are usually 20-30k. Tires are 4x the cost for sedans and need to be done more often(larger vehicles are likely worse because they are proportionally more heavy). There are certainly situations where electric works, but it's definitely not for everyone and it is not more economical from the TCO perspective.

This is only true if you compare a top of the range electric supercar against a gas econobox. Compare like to like cars and there is no difference in tire wear or cost. Leaf vs Civic. BMW sedan vs Tesla model 3.

Agree with that. It’s not for you if it’s your only car, you live in a town and you mainly use it for road trips.

If you live somewhere rural, have more than one car and are on the road every day for local stuff, you will save a lot of money by putting the miles on an electric. And not have the tedium of going to the gas station.

For econoboxes it's 2x the tire cost and the battery cost will be still 20k for the 100-150k mileage battery replacement. They have no reason not to jew you on batteries and no competition preventing Semitic behavior.
At the moment it is not a good economic decision regardless of circumstances. It hasn't been the last few times I checked, and I'm sure it still won't be in a year.

Right now the electric car I'm trying to buy is 2x my current car's cost to purchase.
Current car: 27mpg at about $4/gallon. EV: 2Miles per kWh at $0.10 per kWh
So I save $0.10 per mile driven. Which means the price difference will be paid off in 500,000 miles.

I'm still going to buy it though.

2 miles per kWh makes it something like the Porsche Taycan or maybe a Ford Lightning or a Silverado. Kiwis doing well for themselves!

Don't forget to buy the DLC packs for the a/c and for the turn signals. I would also suggest putting your monthly car subscription on auto-pay. I'd hate for you to try to crank your car one morning only to realize you missed a payment.

This is applies to all new cars, ICE included.

I have a Bolt, and the only subscriptions available to pay for are OnStar and satellite radio, same as the car I had 15 years ago.

I am going through all my shit and throwing out / giving away 95% of what I own to get ready for the move back. I realized I never properly went through my WV mail I had received from the gopher months ago and found this excruciatingly autistic letter written by quill on burned parchment sent in a letter sealed with wax. Something about the wax seal must've deterred me from reading it until now.

The letter basically says that I should watch the blu-ray anime sent (that I already noted I threw out on stream months ago) because doing so would prevent me from being raped by turks in the post-apocalypse. It is definitely the longest and most autistic thing I've ever committed to reading in full. He also asks that I do not destroy his anime blu-rays, which I did, sorry.

Gypsies come in strange forms. You've been cursed by a Gypsy. That shit is serious.

Even though he was a fucking Yankee, I think you would enjoy Sherman's thoughts on journos:

"If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast."

"'I will illustrate why I regard newspaper correspondents as spies,'' Sherman wrote on Feb. 17, 1863. ''A spy is one who furnishes an enemy with knowledge useful to him and dangerous to us. I say in giving intelligence to the enemy, in sowing discord & discontent in an army, these men fulfill all the conditions of spies. I am satisfied they have cost the country hundreds of millions of dollars & brought our country to the brink of ruin & that unless the nuisance is abated we are lost.''

This has to be a shit post. I refuse to believe that there are people out there who don't take calligraphy up as just a bit.

I thought people only still did it for art. I didn't think weebs started doing it. Do they own one of those sand boxes too that you use to write in and move rocks around? Why do weebs have to ruin everything they're involved in? Is it a fetish for them like it is for Trannies?

When you account for all the costs of necessary charging shit, tire wear, battery deterioration. I saw some engineer guy say how the battery in the Cybertruck will last as long as the body, 300K miles. That's basically the same as anything else, so you're really not getting your moneys worth out of the thing in most cases. Cars are already money pits, but electric ones are even worse. Then it comes to snow and salt, no car is good unless it's stainless or carbon fiber. The frame is usually the first thing to go, and generally roads are rougher and will fuck shit up, probably a good ways before 300K. There's then the cold weather battery range thing, which is never that great to begin with when you consider charge times. You can always rent a car for road trips and sometimes it may actually be a better deal if it's a really long one, but that defeats the purpose of owning a car usually.
Environmentally I haven't seen any fair or accurate seeming comparisons, but I have a suspicion that electric is way way worse in the end. All that is made equal when you take into consideration all the african kids getting murked at battery mines, should cancel all the downsides out.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

Jersh could have given that animes to me instead of wastefully throwing it out. Now I will have to rape him. Nice job proving the prophecy true dumbass.

He could have traded it to a babushka lady at a street market for some goulash. Alas.

The cyber truck is a testbed for their new battery chemistry and form factor, while all of this new tech is not a road to nowhere or pointless, the ICE cars we have now are the product of a very competitive market working 100 years of iterative design in various places with brilliant minds behind, it's beyond naive to think it will be winning after just 15 years and in an incredibly anticompetitive enviroment.
and as far as 300k before a battery change: What an engineer tells you something should be lives to get gangraped by Murphy's law.

He was the Yankee the confederacy deserved. He tore Georgia a new, long overdue asshole. God bless him.

I've been OCONUS for the last few months and am out of the loop. Did Dear Feeder stop streaming because he can just live off the legal fund or something.

I miss the days when we used to take foreign concepts and improve them, not make them 10 times worse.

 

[YellowIsACoolColor]

I will literally never watch any anime suggested to me and I resent that any time the faggot animations of Japan are brought up people start dumping recommendations.

Please stream tomorrow

Something interesting about John Wayne Gacy and how he probably didn't work alone as well as being involved with globohomo Democrat elites.

Also, surprised no one covered this proto-BMJ before.

 

[Glowie]

I hate computing internet, and gaming and dystopian data collecting, third party programs that I don't need or ask for. I feel like I have to use John doe aliases and local account to get away with this shit. Abandonware and DosBox all the way for me.
