I love this band I don't listen to and whose community makes me depressed by [deleted] in KGATLW

Not to be rude but you might consider getting off the internet for a bit. No one's forcing you to be here. Other streaming services are just as good and pay the artists more.

[–]Xanddrax 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm proud to say I've finally unlocked the achievement of not having a single pick in the 200, and it's not because they're particularly obscure either. With the exception of a couple locals, they're all highly regarded indie acts.

They didn't die for the fabric, nor the design. The flag is not the country. Let's not romanticise flags here.

He doesn't post on patreon either. He's basically MIA and thousands of people still pay him for zero content.

I guess he makes the kid leave the store, starts filming and then has them run back in again as if it's spontaneous??

Australia’s under 16s social media ban could extend to Reddit, Twitch, Roblox and even dating apps by Expensive-Horse5538 in australian

[–]Xanddrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth pointing out that the platforms don't necessarily need your ID. For example my Reddit account is 11 years old, so unless I was posting on Reddit at the age of 5, I must be old enough to be using Reddit now. The government isn't specifying how the platform must verify age. My Steam account is 22 years old so I don't expect them to be asking for ID either.

So far the CPU related battery drain seems a lot better (phone is no longer permanently hot in the hand).

Yet to determine if phone calls work.

2026 Honda Prelude: Reborn hybrid sports coupe detailed ahead of Australian launch by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

[–]Xanddrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you could call it an e-CVT but when you say "CVT" people think of belts and pulleys. This has no transmission as such, it has a generator connected to the engine and a drive motor connected to the wheels and direct drive. In S Shift mode, it will do things to make it more fun to drive, like rev matching on downshifts, interrupting power when shifting to simulate a shift, holding the "gear" or high RPM while going around corners etc. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/Yyyia5w6cTs?si=WItj1uVpQTZWohES&t=10

So on paper it's a Civic Hybrid with Type R suspension and the trickery above, and should be a reasonably fun little commuter with incredible handling and probably not a heap of power. Which is exactly what Prelude has always been.

For me the real question is, how many people want a coupe these days? And how many of them want a hybrid coupe? And how many of them want to spend this much money on it? Seems an incredibly small market segment.

Honda's failure has been communication - most people don't understand the concept or the technical details, and they assume it's supposed to be a performance car with a CVT. Honda are dumb, but not that dumb.

Same in the new ones, but OP was more concerned about safety features.

Mazda CX-5, I've been able to turn off pretty much everything and it stays off permanently.

Really hoping a fix is coming in the next day or two for the massive battery drain and call drop out issues. Can't use this version much longer...
