SilverFox: a commercial for trash with fake subtitles added by white trash
<SilverFox>
calm down dude
<SilverFox>
why you gotta hate on the master race
<SilverFox>
what is it supposed to say?
<GlassYuri>
do you think I'm gonna translate a commercial for trash during my massively important java classes
<SilverFox>
yes
<GlassYuri>
dude this class is so boring I have to watch out for the teacher to say something important
<GlassYuri>
I don't wanna fail this shit because I was asleep when he gave a way too easy assignment
<SilverFox>
I pretty much had the same shit you did
<SilverFox>
you arent missing anything
<GlassYuri>
also that moment when the teacher isn't saying anything and you don't know if you were supposed to do anything or if the lesson is just fucking slow
<SilverFox>
hes probs waiting on it to compile
<GlassYuri>
I'm waiting for my interest in this class to compile
<SilverFox>
probs has some shit setup with whatever the fuck and github
<SilverFox>
compiler error dude
<SilverFox>
its never gonna happen
<GlassYuri>
interest.exe clearly doesn't work with my version of previous_knowledge.dll
<SilverFox>
worst part is that you'll come out of this class with one fucking tidbit of info you didnt know before and you know if you didnt take that class you wouldnt have known this but this info is helpful and shit
<GlassYuri>
you could be told that tidbit on your first day of work or so though
<SilverFox>
yeah, but you also could not
<SilverFox>
you could be expected to know that tidbit during interviews
<GlassYuri>
apparently I'm expected to have an interesting life so that I can talk about what I do in my free time without boring the interviewer to death
<SilverFox>
well fuck
<GlassYuri>
also first impression is important so I'm just gonna rent a fucking helicopter
<SilverFox>
do it
<SilverFox>

<GlassYuri>
like would you even go through the interview if someone going to the same interview just came on a fucking heli
<SilverFox>
yeah
<SilverFox>

<SilverFox>
but there's 12 years of education
<SilverFox>

<SilverFox>

<GlassYuri>
I dropped out after the finals because my teachers didn't want to waste another second of their time on me as I had scored spectacularily low
<SilverFox>
you dropped out right at the end?
<GlassYuri>
they literally gave me a deadline for dropping out and I think I actually did it on the last possible moment
<GlassYuri>
yeah
<GlassYuri>
and the thing is
<GlassYuri>
the chinese only have 11 years of mandatory edu I think
<GlassYuri>
so they get their language school time added on if they need it
<SilverFox>
well yeah, dont have to be that educated to make sneakers for 12cent an hour

why is it that speakers get fucked when batteries are low on charge?

the straw is a penis, and you stroke it to get the liquids out

and the liquids are white tinted
<SilverFox>
and its not a cup, but an actual penis
<Hyratel_>
SilverFox, because the internal resistance of the battery means that the amp chip gets very rapid voltage sags
<Hyratel_>
because the instantaneous load of the amp/speaker combo varies very rapidly
<Hyratel_>
a smoothing capacitor would help

this is probably the funniest explanation of the korean war crisis thing going on: "How don't South Koreans find this stuff terrifying?" "Imagine a guy with a knife (He's your brother) in front of you slashing the air as he threatens you with it.

<SilverFox>
going to step in if knife guy actually goes through with stabbing you. He might though if your friends fire first. Also knife guy might get a stab or two in even if they fire first. So nobody wants to fire but they are ready just in case knife guy tries to hurt you. So in the meantime knife guy just keeps stabbing the air with his knife, and is getting pretty good at it by now. But he's still just got a knife, and he knows he can only use it on

the air. So you're not really terrified of him. You'd like him to just stop with the knife."

Buy a new car
<SilverFox>
just checking to see if I should get the engine serviced
<G-Mobile>
what do you mean by high RPMs
<SilverFox>
like, on our RPM gauge it goes from 0-like, 7 x 1000RPM
<SilverFox>
normally it gears at about 2.5ish
<SilverFox>
I hit 3.2ish
<G-Mobile>
yep, new car
<SilverFox>
why is that?
<G-Mobile>
your OD might be fucked
<SilverFox>
obstetric Dietian, got it
<G-Mobile>
aka, you have absent gears
<SilverFox>
thing is, it isnt all the time it hits high rpms, only when I push the pedal more than normal
<G-Mobile>
above first gear the OD is generally supposed to engage in the top half of every gear and serves as a half step that keeps RPMs lower
<SilverFox>
thing is, I cant get it checked because lord knows they'll want to replace literally everything

shoulda seen that coming
<SilverFox>
I probably heard somewhere something like someone having a cvt in an car that had automatic and my retarded brain linked the two
<SilverFox>
oh well
<SilverFox>
how do I check this to confirm?
<G-Mobile>
Theres basically two kinds of mass market engines, high torque meaty bastards like trucks have, and high gearing fast spinners that suppliment actual strength with RPMs
<SilverFox>
okay
<G-Mobile>
my truck only hits 2K when I floor it
<SilverFox>
wow ya know I can go past that easy
<SilverFox>
she squeels like a pig tho
<G-Mobile>
you should be seeing 2200~2800 most of the time, if you flooring it is causing this problem it may just be a deficiency in the design
<G-Mobile>
an automatic should stay in lower gearing or downshift in response to high throttle, but everything migrates up relative to speed
<SilverFox>
mind you we drive slower here in canada
<SilverFox>
and im rather strict about not speeding, so I do 90clicks on the highway
<G-Mobile>
this is a common carphile complaint about autos, you dont know what the car's going to do in response to a given input, and it may take time for the ECU to decide itself

thats what we call a flappy paddle shifter and every time you recognize that exists your dick gets half an inch shorter
<SilverFox>
what if you dont have one?
<SilverFox>
do you grow a vagina?
<G-Mobile>
Worse, mannequin crotch
<SilverFox>
yanno, I havent seen mannequin crotch in forever
<SilverFox>
which version of mannequin crotch, bulge or no bulge?
pizzaoverhead is now known as pi|Zzz|aoverhead

Anyway, engine braking an automatic is tricky because autos must have torque converters, and torque converters isolate the engine from the transmission when the engine is too slow, but if your brakes go out at speed it can take dangerously long to roll to a slow enough to use the e-brake
<SilverFox>
oh yeah, that reminds me
<G-Mobile>
first bulge, then no bulge
<SilverFox>
why do I retain my speed longer at 90 clicks than I do 80 clicks? like, going from 90-80 takes awhile, flat surface, but 80-like, 70 or 75 is super quick
<G-Mobile>
keep in mind the e-brake is designed to be engaged while stationary, in order to remain stationary, when parking on a hill, so the weight of the vehicle isnt bearing on the parking pawl
<SilverFox>
right
<SilverFox>
there's like a pin or something that is strained when in park right?
<G-Mobile>
its called a pawl and its like a ragged claw
<SilverFox>
okay, that's what that is, cool
<G-Mobile>
So to why you stay fast faster at fast, i dont know
<SilverFox>
it's really weird, I should decellerate faster at higher speeds because drag and shit
<G-Mobile>
maybe this is a better speed for your bearings, maybe the gearing works out to reduced powertrain drag, maybe theres like, micromach effects where around some speed your drag profile dramatically shifts
<SilverFox>
sounds neat
<G-Mobile>
you should create glue on vortex generators
<SilverFox>
like, those lines with the ribbon coming off them to show you the air as it moves?
<SilverFox>
I got a ridge on the back of my car, like a bump but skinny
<G-Mobile>
I think samm shepard has a youtube video, like, extruded upside down Ts attached at a slant to the windstream that induce vortices and pull the airstream down
