What's the worst car you like? No cult favorite cars like Twiggos, just legitimately hated cars.

@wheeljack@weird.autos avatar

@Mark Late '80s/early '90s Cavalier Z24.

I had 4-cylinder slushbox Cavalier sedan in high school, and I always wanted that hot rod 2-door V6 with a stick.

@autonerdery @Mark I wouldn't go -that- far, but they are perfect for that car. 😁

@Mark @autonerdery That is a fantastically useful term and I'll be adding it to my vocabulary.

Honestly, DST. Why? ⏰

@mike It's okay, it's over soon, and we get a few months of sensible time.

Mazda Iconic SP concept just debuted

Only 3,197 pounds! Hybrid-rotary setup with twin-rotors makes 364hp.

Doesn’t look like the car has a stick. 🤷‍♂️

@Dylan Nope. Nuh-uh. I don't want to live in a world where 3200 lbs gets the adjective "only!" That's FAT. That's as much as my speed3. Drop 150hp and 1000 lbs and then let's talk.

@Dylan That grindy noise you just heard? Yeah that was my eyes rolling so hard I pulled an extraocular muscle.

Missing about five cylinders, champ.
Love this car so much.

@Dylan Well hey now, how many cylinders is boost worth?

The logo/front sensor of the IS mail vans is a USPS logo.

@Basmitharts @Mark I guarantee you they're not spending money on customization that's not obligated by legislation. If it is obligated, I guarantee they're spending 5-10 times what anybody else would for it.

@dgar This is hippo slander. Being a hippo is probably one of the best things you could be reincarnated as. No natural predators, ideal body shape, capable of immense speed underwater, every day you just chill at the river with all your bros, vegetarian but still armed with capacity to kill anything that irritates you.

I'm getting REAL tired of getting interested in things either to find they have a way higher initial cost than anticipated, or they have a low initial cost and I end up buying way too much of said thing because it's "cheap".

So, I want something that hits faster and for less duration than a gummy, but I had to give up the vape pen as it was triggering my asthma.

Would I have any chance of a dry herb vaporizer working with my dumb irritable lungs? I don't know anybody with one to be able to try it, and they're a bit more 'spensive than impulse buy money.

@makesubarugayagain

Noted!

I was looking at the Pax Mini or maybe Pax Plus.

wheeljack,
@wheeljack@weird.autos avatar

@makesubarugayagain I can't either, which is why I was looking at the $130 Mini, and even that's quite a bit more than I'd like when I'm not even sure it'll work for me.

This looks neat, but as a headphone nerd 200mW@32ohm seems kinda weak (plenty for IEMs and Portapros, though.) I'm also not familiar with that DAC chip.

    @pootriarch In my experiences in LA, driving is awesome (provided it's not gridlocked). People know where they want to go and they're GOING there. It's fantastic in comparison to most places where half the traffic is meandering around doing -maybe- the speed limit, with no sense of what lane they need to be in.

    @Dylan Not much of a face off for me. I'll take the Miata 99 times out of 100.

    Gonna get ahead of the game and start a research paper early. It’s for my “History Since 1945” class and the professor is very lax about the topic. Basically as lax as possible, in a good way. He said that we can write about literally anything since 1945. Doesn’t even have to involve international events or geopolitics.

    I’m between two topics:
    >The US government’s overt efforts to promote the arts overseas as a form of Western influence on other countries
    >The history of the Miata

    @Dylan If you go with the Arts one, Adam Neely has a good video on his experience doing jazz propaganda for the State Department:

    At some point you all have to start moving off the big instances for the fediverse to work. Otherwise you're just centralized social networking light.

    wheeljack,
    @wheeljack@weird.autos avatar

    @mike Plus, freeing up the big instances lets them take on more newbies.
