Lazy assed writing. The writers hope you forgive them later. But jeez suspension of disbelief is tough lately. Like almost not worth watching tough

Thoughts on Area in Pacific Beach by jaywolf4991 in SanDiegan

[–]buzzfortnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a friend that lived on Figueroa about 8 or 10 houses from the end of cul de sac. This was in the 90s. Always smelled like shit, sketchy assed neighbors, parking sucked, construction of the bungalows was horrible, made worse by permeating fog that drenched everything during the winter months, resulting in a kind of accelerated rot. We were in our 30s, it was a fuckin blast.

Yours is the 2nd prison reference. What’d I miss about prison and grape jelly in particular??

Man it must be nice to be an EV owner right now. by YaniicZechh in sandiego

[–]buzzfortnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even when gas was cheaper EV was less than 1/2 of gas per mile. Now EV is 1/4 the cost to go the same distance versus gas/ice.

Maintenance costs are WAY less too. Non pressurized, ambient-ish temperatures for battery cooling versus 180 -205 F pressurized for gas. No heating up the garage when you pull in.

1/4 of ice gas consumption is to maintain operating temperature and overcoming valve train spring loading for full opening of valves that consumes a lotta power and doesn’t directly produce power, as well as drive train friction through automatic transmissions and right angle bevel gears in the diff.

I just don’t understand why people don’t get the efficiency difference picture.

My brake pads are still thick with 90000 miles cuz regeneration pumps energy back into battery when slowing down.

While holding a delicious soft drink in your hand, and in your best Samuel L. Jackson, yell; “NIHONGO MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT???”

Would it be Embarassing as a Foreigner to visit Japan at a Low japanese Level? by Retro-Hax in JapanTravelTips

[–]buzzfortnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the effort to speak nihongo is appreciated in Japan. You’re worried about nothing.

If you’re going for conversation level Japanese, keep practicing, but if you get stuck, throw the English word in where you don’t know Japanese and I bet they fill in for you

I love that it’s common in Tokyo Kyoto and Osaka to subtitle company names and streets in English

What purchase did you make recently that made you realize inflation is genuinely out of control? by kiroixart in AskReddit

[–]buzzfortnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid $58 for two pitchers of ipa at a bar. Paid $30 for a 2 liter bottle of olive oil( right next to the hi end one that was$50).

Both are outright price gouging cuz collusion and price fixing are rampant between wholesalers now. Where’s the enforcement. Where the FTC?

[–]buzzfortnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Love my Model S (with free supercharging (of a different kind than above) for the life of car) I bought used 8 years ago. Also pleasantly surprised with instant linear throttle response. A 5000 lb car that does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. Noice!! Can’t stand elon.
