All car manufacturers world wide are subsidized.

Of course China can make cheaper cars, because most car manufacturers get their parts produced in China anyway.

A dog without leash shows that the owner hasn’t bothered taking dog training classes or in the case of my country that they haven’t bothered learning the law. If they can’t be bothered to do that, I worry that they are not responsible enough to take care of the dog, and they shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog. Dog ownership ought to require a license or mandatory training.

The person using the perfume might also not even know about the issue, but in that case, I don’t think it makes sense to blame the consumer. There are simply too many types of products that are potentially dangerous when used wrong. Perhaps the seller ought to have warned about it, but I doubt that would make much difference. You can still be upset about it being produced. Lots of things are like that.

Sometimes you can blame the consumer and sometimes you can’t.

If you’re a mathematician how can you be dissing 5 like that?

Less than? Hell no.

5 is soo much more and soo many things that 25 isn’t and never will be.

Without 5 you wouldn’t even have 25. Some might even say that 5 is the root of 25. Show some respect for the roots.

Not only is 5 a beautiful prime number, it’s also the perfect number for a geometric shape. Everyone knows what a pentagon looks like. The Pentagon even named their institution as that. They didn’t name it after 25. Who the hell has ever heard of the icosikaiopentagon? Nobody, that’s who.

Look at the American flag. It has 50 stars. Guess which shape they have? That’s right, each of the 50 states have stars with 5 points. Exactly 0 of them chose to have a 25 pointed star.

You know what a bad number is? Yes: 25.

25 is a shitty composite number. It’s shitty because it’s not even good at being a composite number; having only a measly 3 factors: One, itself and 5 (of all things, duh…)

That’s because it’s square and boring. Does it even look square to you? This uneven 25 is supposedly a square. I never made a square of 25 things. What’s the fucking point in that? If I had to make a square for any purpose whatsoever, I’d definitely chose a better number with many more factors, so I could actually use the squaredness to divide things and mark mid points and what not. 4 is a square. 16 is a square. They’re so much better at being square than 25, because you can cut them in half and make a grid with a midpoint.

So, yeah yeah, there are probably other numbers out there greater than 5, but it sure as fuck is not 25.

I refuse to believe that a majority of Americans are fascists.

Things would look very different if they had a democracy.

What they need is a democratic election, without gerrymandering, without voter suppression, done on paper ballots with a pencil, on a holiday, with all ballots counted and checked.

You know the quote: “You cannot reason a person out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place.”

Same thing applies to politics. They’re doing illegal things that people didn’t vote for. There’s no way this can be fixed by voting when they don’t respect anything anyway.

States need to secede and form a different government.

“History is written by the victors”

I still learn things about WW2 about how fucked the whole thing really was.

Their people?

The mentioned cars are somewhat outdated.

You might also want to consider newer models like Renault 5, Skoda Elroq or Hyundai Ioniq.

People do that.

Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

That’s a pretty neat FPS for a tv.

My guess would be yes, somewhat, probably. but maybe not much. As he says in the last part of the video: If it gets hot, you have a problem.

Better ask an electrician.

The devices sold as “EV wall chargers” are not really chargers. They’re simple power suppliy units, whether or not it has bells and whistles to time the charging and what not.

The actual battery charger is in the car. It will attempt to suck as much energy from the PSU as it can and it will itself balance the load and all that. Having a separate unit also trying to regulate the load seems like something that will inevitably create more heat than necessary somewhere in that chain.

Generally speaking you do not need to protect the car from unstable supply. It will protect itself.

I will still recommend getting a proper “EV charger” to ensure that it can utilize all the phases unlike a regular garage plug. Also to ensure that it is properly grounded, which can be an issue for some cars.

At least here in Europe, where we have 3 phases. It’s much better to have all 3 phases wide open and let the car suck a little on each, instead of having it overloading a single phase through a granny plug.

I know the American 2 phase circuit is different, but I still believe it’s better not to put any more heat inducing obstructions in the chain.

It’s not fucking overkill. There’s no such thing.

I’m really disappointed with the video. That dude usually knows his shit, but he’s way off the mark here. It’s just plain wrong.

Getting a smaller charger might save a few hundred, but it will also increase your chances of burning the house down. Good fucking advise, huh.

Fuck that. You’ll always want to charge as fast as your main circuit breaker will allow.

Defundly not.

The birds are watching you.

Try leaving bird seeds. They’ll know instantly, because they’re always watching you.

If you don’t leave bird seeds they will find your car and shit on it.

Apps or NFC tags are used where I live.

I charge at home myself, but in the odd case where I’ve used public chargers I’ve had to install an app from whatever charging company it is, because I can never find one that takes cards directly, though they all ought to do that by now.

For people who use public chargers a lot, it makes most sense to get some subscription and get a tag for that. Some of them works across different networks. It’s a bit of jungle.

The apps probably do require a card to setup, unless you get it through some company where you already have direct debit (f.i. your electricity provider or gas station monthly billing etc.)

It’s not that different from gas stations. It’s not possible to pay those in cash anymore anyway.

Sounds about right. The strategy is chaos.

Before doing any slowing down and looping I’d make sure that I know the chords for that section. It’s easier to hear if a certain note is in the key (harmony) or not (dissonance), thereby limiting the available choices. Also it might be easier to identify an interval than a single note.

Knowing some theory definitely helps. If you can find a transcription as sheets or tabs that’d be a good idea for reference, even if they’re not always correct.

Having this context, it’s usually enough to slow down the part in the YouTube player. I use New Pipe, no ads and speed/pitch are separate.

For a more detailed analysis, Audacity is great for loops and zooming. It’s quick and easy. However, looping a single note can sometimes be deceiving, so I’d also loop a few of the notes before and after just to get some context.

Getting the clip into a full DAW can also help for very tricky sounds. Running it through a pitch correction effect can show what it detects. This works best if the clip doesn’t have a lot of other things at the same time. Another method if you have a midi keyboard is to play along with a basic tone like an organ or just a sine wave. Program the melody into the midi sequencer and you’ll basically have it transcribed. This is also great for long weird sections where it’s difficult to remember everything. Might as well write it down as midi instead of on a paper.

They’re improvising the whole thing.

It’s method acting.

Everyone from the lowest LARP’ing ICE agents to the orange faced chief of clowns have been in role for so many years that they all forgot what reality is outside of their theatre of the grotesque.

I doubt that cars and car infrastructure would be allowed today if we weren’t already knee-deep in the shit they cause.

It’s probably the worst invention ever.
