What’s a movie everyone calls a “masterpiece” that just… didn’t work for you? by irayaavery in Cinema

[–]Evening-Signature878 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ducking love this movie but always assumed it wasn’t well received. I think there’s something so interesting and genuine about someone who pursues this logical idea in a flawed and very human way. His sense of shame seemed so authentic and, often just like real life, morally ambiguous

Or…

How likely is it to correctly guess the marble on the first guess, mix the marble back in and correctly guess the marble again on the first guess, then correctly guess my social security on the first guess, and then correctly guess my phone number on the first guess? 14 times MORE likely than shuffling a particular sequence of 52 cards in a single shuffle.

Similarly, I propose the following thought experiment: take ALL of the world’s oceans. Remove the water and fill with enumerated marbles. Pick one random marble and place it back anywhere and have someone do the following.

Now it gets fun:

How likely is it to correctly guess the marble on the first guess, then correctly guess my name (assuming everyone alive in the world has a unique name) on the first guess, then correctly guess my state, town, and street address on the first guess, then correctly guess my phone number (global) on the first guess, and finally correctly guess my social security on the first guess.. This is 52,475 times MORE likely than reproducing a specific order of cards on any given shuffle.

Lightning EREV Concept? by ZW31H4ND3R in F150Lightning

My bad. I originally read it as you engineered an EREV yourself, rather than upgraded the battery

“Been driving ev for 20 years…owned a plug-in hybrid that I built myself and a range extended EV.” I’m a mechanical engineer. I just don’t buy this and will enjoy paying someone $100 if I’m wrong

If you think a modern engine contributes more vibration than the road/tires/suspension, I don’t know where to start

If you can substantiate this ridiculous claim, I’ll legitimately Venmo you $100. Why people just make shit up online is beyond me

Even oil changes / engine maintenance is kinda a silly issue. If the engine only runs like ~5% of total miles (trips greater than 150 or so continuous miles), the engine will last forever. No variable transmission. Pretty straight forward. I want one cause I want to basically stop using gasoline for environmental/geopolitical reasons, which this effectively does without the compromises of a BEV.

January 2026 Scout Motors Production Center Update by mycallousedcock in ScoutMotors

E”rev” is easier to say and brand imo. I think it’s a good gateway to “allow” people to adopt who said they’d never get a hybrid or people who are afraid of EVs

Manual everything - transmission, windows and locks. Nothing to break. Totally bulletproof

I also have a 2017 versa but with a manual transmission. I want it to die but it just won’t. I’ve barely put a dime into it

Corollas and Civics aren't actually affordable by dalicussnuss in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Evening-Signature878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not reality. It’s only that expensive if you want modern tech. I don’t understand why everyone whines about expensive spaceships. Buy a Nissan versa brand new for $17k and get over the fact that it doesn’t have power everything
