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

And there’s an easier solution if you don’t want to be subject to gas station ads, or the vandalized gas station, or be caught in the crossfire when the place gets stuck up or psycho-shotgunned, just buy an electric car and charge it at home.

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

Well, that's not going leave my brain anytime soon.

 

[I'm a Silly]

I wonder if Josh will be homesick for Serbia soon.

Most of the pumps in my area have no Ads besides one chain. But they just show ads for the stuff they sell inside the store. (Food, drinks, candy, etc) I think Null said that was an exception to the ad shut. I'm just glad I dont have to see that Gas Station TV bullshit

 

[TV's Adam West]

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


I'm pretty sure that's just every modern gas station. Doesn't stop people from doing shit though. That reminds me though, Security cam footage made public from international sources has led to shitposts like this one being made months ago.

There was this real funny security footage of some black fella playing and dancing at some store, at one point, he even picked up a banana and started dancing like donkey Kong.
Wonder what happened to that guy?

I honestly do not understand why an electric engine would be inherently dystopian or consumerist. I guess their biggest disadvantage is that their viability is relatively recent and as a result any modern electric car is very computerized. However this issue is just as prevalent in modern new cars with an ICE.

Electric engines are actually super useful for living off grid as you do not necessarily rely on external supplies of gasoline or diesel, both of which need very complex refineries, when you can just use literally free and practically infinite solar energy.

 

[you lucky bastard]

will we have a MATI today?

 

[Kulee Baba]

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.

I don't even know what anime this is from but I think it's the only one that Jersh would like.

Any street legal EV you're going to buy is a computer controlled globalist nightmare of surveillance and remote operability that doesn't have any of the advantages you imagine it to. What you're describing is an e-bike or those Chinese electric OHV's which would have a survival/preper use.

If you're planning on charging your tesla off grid I hope you either have your own hydro electric turbine or a fuel powered generator, doing it with solar/wind is a pipe dream. Basically everyone of those setups can't even run a stick welder for any useful amount of time. Let alone charge a tesla.

You’re correct. If you pick a slightly older EV you’ll find it has less of that kind of bullshit than an equivalent ICE, simply because it’s lower volume or from a less established manufacturer, they didn’t get around to putting in the annoying or Orwellian shit. (Yet, I’m sure that will change as they get more popular).

Right. If you’re grid connected but have a good amount of solar you can easily do 10k miles or so per year directly from that.
If off-grid you’ll want to have decent resources, like a big turbine or something, but if you do then an EV is a no brainer.

If you’re talking prepper vehicle, such talk is a bit fanciful but IMO if shit hit the fan you’d be better off keeping yourself to yourself and not having to compete with everyone else to find gas.

Spoiler: more sperging

This is just untrue. Even if it was you could always take the SIM card out. Low end cars don’t have navigation and remote features like that in the first place - mine doesn’t I know for a fact.

If you're planning on charging your tesla off grid I hope you either have your own hydro electric turbine or a fuel powered generator, doing it with solar/wind is a pipe dream. Basically everyone of those setups can't even run a stick welder for any useful amount of time. Let alone charge a tesla.

That’s not true as a rule either. Even a small off grid setup can happily charge an EV - they dial down to 2kW. So it might take a couple of days to charge from empty, but it’s free milage so why wouldn’t you.

At the end of the day it’s a pretty straightforward technology. If you have a situation where you can make use of it, it can save you a lot of money and hassle. If you choose to, great. If you choose not to because you believed some BS, that’s your loss.

I miss MATI, can't believe it's been two weeks. Come back soon, Josh.

Swear to Allah if this keeps up I'm gonna stream instead

and there's gonna be fake ad breaks and double the stinkditch news

That this is the same guy that made those viral "Dog of Wisdom" videos is weird and funny to me

Modern ICE vehicles aren't devoid of any surveillance and remote operability apparatuses either, just look at the BMW subscription models they periodically try to roll out much to their customers dismay. Just as I said, the issue lies in computerization and not in the engine itself.

Charging over solar is not a pipe dream at all and in fact fairly easy. A 20KWp solar array is very much attainable and would output more than enough electricity to charge an EV. I do this today.
An additional generator for rainy days and you and your mobility are much more self sufficient than entirely relying on the entire fuel supply chain

I Agree, but I guess the point i left out is that i refuse to buy any car newer than 2013 model year(I might be off by a couple years, I have this written down some where and I'm not looking at cars right now. It's when they changed the standards to require EDRs and all kinds of other shit), but all the commonly avaliable EVs I'm aware of are newer than my personal cutoff.

I will admit that I have not kept up on solar stuff in maybe a decade, if its that much better now it's good to know. I have no ideological objection to EVs, and I agree they don't have to be as computerized as they are - but thats what's available. There isn't a stock of pre-gay-era EVs that you can keep running like there is with ICE vehicles.

They do not suit my use case because I do lots of long distance trips and do not have time to wait for recharges.

Cars can run off of wood gas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide made from incomplete combustion of organic material)
As long as you have trees and other plant material to burn, you can create woodgas.
Was used more in the first half of the 20th century and places that didn't have reliable or affordable gasoline.

Edit, I guess you could use woodgas to power a generator to charge an electric car too...

If you're still buying German cars that's on you, the industry has been complete shit for at least a decade, arguably a lot longer.

Guys, I think it's time we faced the obvious. Null isn't coming back, he's gone and we have to accept that. He will  never stream again. At least we still have forum Null. But now, who do we get to replace dead stream Null?
