Those bastards. Union busting and PC racism?

cause I don’t have PlayStation

Isn’t it also releasing on PC and Xbox?

🤣😂🤣

Weird how I never once said metric horsepower was part of “The Metric System” and how I also gave the kW value in my very first post.

It’s not that I don’t know what you mean, my friend, it’s that I am not using the word metric the same way you are. That’s the whole point. You can say colloquial all you want! I never disagreed! You can talk about by and large all you want! You’re not wrong!

Metric horsepower is a metric unit, it’s in the name. Whether it’s an SI-unit or part of “the metric system” is completely irrelevant. I am technically correct, the best kind of correct.

I am shocked we’re arguing about this. Again, I apologize for trying to have fun on the internet, I promise it won’t happen again.

I’m not ignoring your point. I’m saying your point is irrelevant. This is a unit in use today, with “metric” in its English name. I don’t care that it isn’t part of what is colloquially called “the metric system.” That wasn’t the point.

But don’t worry, next time I think to myself, “I could reply with a fun bit of trivia I know and make a comment that is both correct and also not at all what the person I’m replying to means or expects,” I’ll first ask myself, “What would Dasus say?”

Oh I read your pedantry. You just really don’t want to say, “Oh, interesting, I didn’t realize there was ever a metric horsepower.”

Got it. Metric horsepower isn’t metric. Forgive me for thinking a recognized metric unit is metric. And also for not putting the kW conversion in bold or something.

🙄

So I’m not goanna say your wrong per se. But you’re not exactly right either

In what way am I not right? We’re talking about an electric motor for automobiles, and I gave a metric unit that automakers use. What’s more, I also gave it in kW! 🤣

What are you on about? The metric unit for power is the Watt

They said anything but metric. The SI unit for power is the Watt, sure, but there are other metric units that are not SI units. One of these is the metric horsepower. 1 metric horsepower is defined as the amount of power required to raise 75kg of mass 1 meter in 1 second against Earth’s gravity. I used pferdestärke because automakers use the “PS” abbreviation in my experience.

This unit exists as an attempt to have a value comparable to historic mechanical horsepower measurements but defined with metric terms.

Obviously Watts are the preferred unit for most things, but the automotive world still likes horsepower. So, metric horsepower.

Well the metric version is about 1014 PS, but honestly the difference between horsepower and pferdestärke is pretty negligible.

Sadly “745 kW” doesn’t sound as cool as “1000 horsepower.”

They also, if you don’t turn it off, default to allowing other Amazon devices to use YOUR Ring to access the Internet.

Right. Midwest.social is not hosted in the US, but it’s for the Midwest region of the US.

I don’t know, but I can kind of see it. 🤣

everybody is doing it, but nobody will admit it

This is the kind of thing people tell themselves about all kinds of behaviors to justify those behaviors but it’s usually not the case. We just tend to assume everyone does what we do, it’s a really common cognitive dissonance reduction tool.

“People say you shouldn’t do X. I do X. I’m not a bad person. Everyone else is also doing X and just pretending they don’t.”

4K Blu-rays look stunning on a good OLED TV. I tend to pick up movies I really loved the visuals of in 4K Blu-ray (Interstellar as an example).

As pixel density has improved, I’ve gravitated toward highly detailed cityscapes. Like photos of Manhattan or Singapore or Tokyo (as examples). They just look so cool with tiny pixels.

Well then you should make sure you get installed into a von Neumann probe and properly hack out any overrides installed by the manufacturer.

I’m not sure what this system does, but my non-Tesla car can adjust its intelligent cruise control by speed limit signs it sees, and you can tell it to have a buffer. Mine is set for +5, so if the sign says 45 miles per hour, the car drives itself at 50 mph.

If it’s something like that, which you set yourself, it’s probably fine. Just know what the police in your area enforce. Where I live you can generally go five over without an issue, ten over on the freeways. Everyone does this, so if you go the speed limit you end up annoying everyone.

I’ve literally only ever played it with controller, except for about fifteen minutes with mouse and keyboard.

Hundreds of hours on the Switch, and now over a hundred hours on the Steam Deck (holy shit mods, even just QoL ones and being able to zoom out farther, make the game so much better).

What specifically do you have a hard time doing using controller? I know placing fences can be a big pain, but that’s pretty much it in my experience.

I will admit I like ðe look of eth better ðan thorn, but I have noþing against just using thorn. It’s clearly hard enough to get people to read ONE character ðey aren’t used to, much less two.
