I’m really not about this. Do better.

Ry Cooder has a really cool album about it too (this song is about the megalomaniac racist mayor at the time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzhkLG6vRlw

Wow, life gets weird I’m the silliest ways sometimes lol.

Well, fuckwit, good job on proving that you know how to multiply a couple of constants and volumes together, congrats!

Consider the amount of energy that goes into welding a large automobile frame, casting high carbon conrods and crankshafts, producing all the plastic that goes into the 3100lb clown tank dodge ram you drive since you’re no longer safe on two wheels.

Holistically, quite a lot less energy goes into production of a motorcycle, and furthermore is tremendously easier to recycle in comparison. The much lighter mass from a smaller frame means less tire particulate, less brake dust, and equally important, less time idling in traffic because of lane splitting.

Quality thinking in systems analysis is why engineers make money, versus fuckwits who merely multiply a few constants.

Fuel pump pressures need to creep up to afford DFI (direct fuel injection) which has made up a lot of modern ICE efficiency and emissions improvements. The real solution long-term is electric, but energy density in the batteries needs to creep up a bit, which I’m waiting for with Samsung’s new solid state batteries.

Why the fuck would someone compare a shitass lawn mower to performance road hardware?

Thermodynamically, your argument doesn’t make sense either as you are still injecting 3x or more waste heat into the atmosphere, nevermind the CO2 (which is a crazy thing to ignore in this discussion).

The last part of your statement is entirely an opinion based in ignorance, people are generally not interested in dramatically altering the reliability of their machines, and manufacturers keep the cat separate from the muffler for bikes where the frame has room. Have you done your own moto maintenance? What bikes have you got?

I like Boston fine as a New Yorker, but fuck Dunkin’.

Shhhh THEY’LL HEAR YOU

Yep, I checked outta here a while back.

… That’s what he’s implying, download it illegally ahead of time.

… None of us were confused by the saying. You obviously are confused about where you stand cognitively, in comparison.

I think their nickname used to be “the fist of the USSR”, because that’s where most of their military-industrial complex was actually located.

I’m hoping the same, that’s quite the story in and of itself.

I work in energy r&d, and have for several jobs over the years now.

My sadness is transmuted into passion for solving these issues from the ground up. Top brass is interested in “stock options” and blah blah blah, I’m just focused on solving technical problems to make efficient, powerful energy production that isn’t hard on the earth.

The money won’t matter if there’s nowhere to live. My efforts may not be enough, ultimately, but I’ll die knowing I tried to help solve the problems we’ve caused.

I forget where I’d read about it, some enterprising individual disassembled, then reassembled the boot off the vehicle, several times. Might be an urban legend though.

I was an electrician to pay for school in Manhattan, it was fucking awesome meeting all these dudes and ladies from all walks of life, truly a melting pot. I worked under a quality-centric Rasta, who answered to a way-overworked foreman from long island, we would all be fighting some days, laughing together some days and always getting shit done.

I don’t miss how much my fucking feet or shoulders hurt after being on ladders all day, 50 stories up where the wind fuckin’ gallops (till windows thankfully get installed), but I got so many stories and good/bad times out of the job.

I miss NYC, tell you the truth.

That’s how I feel about it as well. Better to upgrade the safe than to add warning posters.

I kind of expect it to be required, SCADA has had plenty of ancestry. But you’d expect the NSA to have been consulted on how to prevent interaction with the general public…
