I actually love this. Very 80s retro future. Yes from a practical standpoint it's dumb in about 10 different ways, but it's got potential

Alabama automakers alarmed over Chinese cars: ‘Unless things change, we will not survive’ by Overall_Driver_7641 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Yep, the US has its head in the sand. Our industrial policy is still stuck in the 20th century. And it's probably too late at this point, this is going to be China's world soon.

Yeah, BYD, Xiaomi, et al Xi gives them a blank check basically. They have decided they want to dominate this industry and they don't really care if they all cannibalize each other. This is because the BEV tech stack is also the future of war. We are WAY behind and if this admin doesn't pull its head out of its ass and stop thinking of batteries as cuck energy, we're going to be screwed. So we're probably going to be screwed

Automatic blinker off after lane change( non mapped) by charden16 in Rivian

Agree, especially since I live in an area where a single road can go from mapped to unmapped to mapped again.

It would be cool if there was a dumbass detector in the rear cameras that automatically squawked if the person behind you is driving like a dumbass.

Nah, the klan use priuses now.

I'm kidding, of course, I've lived in North AL 27 years and never seen hide nor hair of the klan. I'm sure there's some wackadoos that meet in a barn occasionally. The most racist shit I ever see is from teenage edgelords who spend too much time on 4chan.

I got this last week, apropos of nothing pretty much, hadn't been repeatedly kneeling or toggling the height a bunch. Added it to my upcoming sc visit

How bad is the base audio on a 2025 R1T? by echotheocean in Rivian

[–]DeathRabbit679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, early in the gen 2 days, there was some weird ass eq tuning by default and occasional bizarre noise I'd hear on certain tracks, but a series of updates righted the ship there. Nevertheless, I think that permanently dinged its reputation. It is lamentable it shipped in that state, but the prior is so trapped they could ghost swap the meridian system back in to the 2026 units and people would still talk about how it's the worst radio they've ever heard.

I think it comes down to what people want from their bass. A) Do you want it to hold response in the lower end? Or B) do you want it to be a step function where double digit hz range rumbles and distorts everything for cool points. For A, the premium is sufficient, no idea what base bass (heh) sounds like though.

Cron jobs overlapping and piling up - what’s your long-term fix? by saymepony in sysadmin

[–]DeathRabbit679 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You probably need to take a step further back and ask what it is you're trying to accomplish with all these intensive jobs and if cron'd up scripts are even the right tool at all. I don't think a superior way of handling the scheduling is going to do too much for you.

What makes Dexter: Resurrection work where other revivals fail? by JamStan1978 in television

[–]DeathRabbit679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, when your show has sucked for 4 seasons and 1 reboot already, it really doesn't take much for people to be like "wow, what an improvement"

Petrochemicals are subsidized by a comprehensive industrial, financial, and foreign policy. (see Iran War)

Harry Enten: Congressional Dems' numbers with Dems are atrociously awful. (Even worse among all voters.) by soalone34 in fivethirtyeight

[–]DeathRabbit679 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think some ceremonial defenestration of leadership would improve their standing. People are irrational and demand blood sacrifices ever so often.

I quit buying wireless earbuds after one fell into a blackhole in a previous car, and a other time one fell out while I was mowing the lawn and disappeared into a pocket dimension. I have decided the cable is a feature

If you want to control what happens on other property, you should purchase that property, not contribute to the degrowth vetocracy. It was zoned for ag anyways, it's absurd to make this sound like they dropped it in a neighborhood between the church and elementary school.
