Modern cars have MASSIVE digital displays, loads of computers systems monitoring every subsystem and internal diagnostics running to the OBDII ports.

Why the hell can't we get diagnostic feeds on our console or infotainment center?

I'm not aware of any car manufacturers selling their own diagnostic ASICs, so it's not an extra margin to squeeze afaik...

What gives? Any insight into this beyond the usual muh corporate profits conjecture?

It seems like the ultimate way to show WHY and HOW a company is poorly run… or the inverse.

Eureka, Humboldt County, CA is at the same latitude as Eureka, Woodford County, IL, as well as Eureka, Warrington Township, PA.

Just picturing an alien archaeologist "so, as they stopped being crippled by polio or losing their lives building railroads, they complained about having to wash the dishes?"

Make our brains FOSS! Why can't I just tell my brain that now is sleeping time and it will just sleep?!

So lets say if you compare the color temperatures of 2500 K vs 5000 K, the 2500 K would have more red light and usually is described as "warm" light, even though it is called a lower temperature at the same time.

(Yeah I know the color temperatures in Kelvin have smth to do with black body radiation, but I wonder if the red light = warm and blue light = cold has some evolutionary background or that blue light has been discovered wayyyy later (blue LEDs etc.).)

At least in my dialect/accent of English

Listen up, you Lemmy champions:

You're special, you're enlightened, you're a bunch of kind hearted, humble champions.

Enjoy your day.

Mangione is a playful Italian word that means “big eater” or “glutton“. It is the combination of the verb mangiare (to eat) and the suffix -one which is used to describe things that are big.

He lived up to his name and ate the rich.

In a hundred and twenty or thirty years or something, the dollar will have inflated by 1000 times, so a billion dollars then will be equal to a million dollars now. It'll cost a billion dollars for a nice four bedroom house.

But we'll have had a hundred more years to produce anti billionaire propaganda, so a lot of people, especially teenagers, will need it explained to them that being a billionaire isn't so bad now. The Marxist-Leninists will all be saying that Cyborg Bernie Sanders is an evil billionaire, and us reasonable leftists will be explaining that a billion dollars is just what it costs these days to own a residence in your home state and also in DC, which is necessary for working as a senator.

What we'll really need to look out for by then is the trillionaires. Good for nothing parasites. There's no excuse for one person to own a trillion dollars while there are people living on the streets who can't even afford a measly ten thousand dollars for a cheeseburger meal.

Gimi 30 year old Ciri on a unicorn with new monsters, magic and a good ass storyline, and I'll be good to go.

And before you say it-
