Super cool of the media to drop this on Friday afternoon when nobody cares

My kid wants to build a gaming PC for their birthday.

Am I cooked?

I’ve got a turbo four cylinder in a small car. I like it much more than a Hellcat.

Everybody knows you can get V8 power out of a six cylinder. But the folks who buy fast Dodges don’t buy them for speed; they buy them for sound and the fact that it’s a V8.

And I don’t trust Chrysler or Fiat turbos as far as I can throw them, especially if they have a fancy setup.

ETA: I looked it up and it sounds… like a turbo six cylinder. Like something some insane BMW tuner would build with a semi truck turbo.

Also, they have a 48V blower pumping into the turbo to maintain boost. Basically an electric supercharger in front of a turbo.

Lets them run big turbos tho

I estimated the generations for mine and just added two because we came 40 years after. Depending on the fecundity of my line it might be more than that.

A bike trailer guillotine is peak Portland

No, those are 15th generation.

We came from Germany to Philadelphia via Dublin a little after them because the French burned our house down.

As a 13th generation North American I don’t get this meme.

I think they were feeling disillusioned well before Trump.

To me, the whole attitude started back in the late 90s and early ‘00s when groups like Limp Bizkit took off and “The Real Slim Shady” was huge. That attitude feels like the genesis of how these guys act.

ETA: I’m watching Ben Folds’ “Rockin’ the Suburbs” and it’s exactly that vibe

Okay, take a car that is running and make it a project car.

Also: Reality is boring and dumb

This isn’t new. The HN thread brings up Office Space which is almost 30 years old at this point. Then there’s the joke about senior devs seeing themselves as farmers in ten years.

Once you do something you’re excited about for a couple decades you start to be less excited about it.

1. Buy a project car that doesn’t run
2. Park it in your driveway while you work on it
3. Use government money to buy the parts

Really highlights how it’s rough and gets everywhere

After about an hour at 350 that’ll be good with some butter and sour cream

My AI also hacked another company, money plz

I drove seven hours to TN to get maximum totality. The drive home was 14 hours. Just a sea of cars as far as the eye could see.

Worth it.

It would be cool to say I’m going to Banana on my vacation.

If they need me they can call me on the Banana phone

Another good eclipse map is the one showing the massive traffic jams that start right after local totality

I live near an army base, the state police HQ, and a hospital with an emergency chopper and I can tell which one it is just by the sound of the rotors.

My favorite are the Chinooks that go wumpa wumpa wumpa.
