That just means our security was good. You little anecdote isn't actual data.

Honestly thank you for the reminder V8 is that old, but we could play this game with Firefox, or any large software project for that matter.

Enhanced spellcheck, literally sent to the cloud and processed by a spelling m.. mmm... moo. Mo mo. A spelling mode... el...?
A drawing API, for GAMeS, on my business softwares?
Assembly, like what hackers use?

We can play the what users want game all day, but the mental gymnastics to say local models are different, it's too much. The long sought after semantic web is here, in your browser, and people are straight faced saying NO, browsers must be stupid, search engines must be driven by only the dumbest algorithms the way the web was intended. All translation and search services and enhanced spelling and grammar checking must be of poor quality models and not available locally lest we taint our machine hosts with demonic intent. We really are close to sounding like a ridiculous WH40k machine cult.

My gawd, this is like how's shitcoins different than the stock market.

It's like the worst of the worst old school racetrack hustling.

Look, I’m in a jam here. My ex-wife’s boyfriend is outside double-parked with my kid and if I miss this party again I’m dead. I got this ticket before the steam hit. Beautiful number. Absolute robbery at this price. Honestly I shouldn’t even be offering it. ... But you don't even have to try that hard, you can just whisper rumors about the horse being on giga-steroids then sell your stake back on the market waaaaaayy faster than one mark at a time the old fashioned way.

Dude, insider trading and influence ain't even the half of it, every old scam is going to rear its head, it's so obvious.

It's literally trading, the gains are someone else's loses, that's simple. It is worse than gambling, _because_ it's a trading platform. You can buy low odds, pump it up, then take your profits before the contract is resolved. It's the worst of the stock market with the worst of gambling.

What do you mean loot the stock market, it's not a pool of money you fish around in, there are people like you and I on both sides of trades. When you profit off the stock market, that money doesn't come from some company, it comes from whoever bought the shares you sold, which can be another retail investor exactly like you. Every time you get out at just the right time, some ... general population.. dimwit FOMO bought that. They're called retail traders, and there's practically no barrier to signing up for a brokerage account, the stock market is the general population, it's your 401k, it's my play money day trading.

Bet your ass that any unregulated market is worse than a regulated one. It's not up for debate. I'm sorry but even if you think all markets are scams, but you're inevitably going to do it anyway which is why we have these conversations, why the hell would you go for the unregulated market. It boggles the fucking mind. If you truly think everything is a scam, then don't fucking do it. Don't fucking rationalize it, and don't pretend someone took money out of your pocket, you had to buy something, that's on you.

If I had known it wasn't checked, I absolutely would have lied.

I would also question the usefulness of a clutch on an electric street bike.

On the other hand, offroad racing is completely different. Dirtbike throttles are pinned, you shift without the clutch (tire/dirt is the clutch), the clutch is how you control power output.

There is no amount of speed dependent throttle rotation to torque mapping, that can replicate the one inch of left hand finger movement used on a clutch. It's a completely different muscle memory that needs to be learned, and speed dependent mapping works against muscle memory. I mean it's that or a constant mapping that you change with mode buttons, and no... not even going there.

So a clutch on a e dirtbike is a special case in my mind, for trail riding sure you can relearn the throttle movement, but for uhh go-fast, it's not about being snobby having to relearn something, I just don't see how you can beat how muscle memory works with two statically mapped input curves vs one that basically has to be dynamic or toggled somehow.

I have no idea what problem a flywheel would be trying to solve when you already have electric motors with full torque at any speed, putting that aside.

The clutch on a dirtbike is not used like the clutch on other things. They can be shifted without the clutch, part how their sequential transmissions are built, part the friction between the wheel and dirt being so low. You go through the whole range of power and speed back and forth so rapidly you don't waste time on the clutch most of the time, unless you're stopping. The clutch is mainly used to feather power output.

Dirtbikes (racing anyway) have too much power, that's how they function, it's like riding on a chainsaw stuck in the dirt. You never have full traction, the bike is always revved in the peak RPM for maximum power output. You stomp through gears to control speed, you use the clutch to control power, independently.. when shifting, the dirt is your clutch, it eats that power/speed difference. All that to keep maximum torque available a finger flick away.

So edirtbikes, similarly have stupefying power to weight ratios, like any bike at max power they will just cartwheel. I haven't tried one, but from what I understand they map power output to throttle position on a curve, and that is just weird to me. They have buttons to change modes that remap the throttle curve, but it doesn't change the fact that we just don't use the throttle that way on a dirtbike.

Functionally, there's no need to pin the electric throttle and vary power with a lever, that was part of keeping the engine at a constant high rpm, the power band. But, no matter how you map the throttle, even in some race mode, it still has to be low power at the bottom and what full everywhere else? That's still asking riders to use the throttle entirely for power management and it's not the same as the finger flick it takes on the clutch.

TLDR: in motocross, the clutch is how you control power output, keeping that form of input on high performance e dirtbikes makes a lot of sense.

Says the J6er that still thinks Mike Pence is the villain in the story.

"Sounds like they're trying to make a ladies bike"
Wow, that's some 1pth century anti women on bike BS right there.

Ys, for a kid. an adult wants a pretend part because they can't get with the times is pathetic.

Imagine being so insecure you have to pretend to be using an older version of an engine? sad.

JFC, are you still trolling people with nonsense? Two decades? I guess being a person who barley got an AS, then ending up a TV Repair man makes you sad and you just take it out on others with your trolling and rage baiting. It's a really unhealthy way to try and make your self feel like you have value.

Our prosperity literally lifted the world up until about bush. When we started really feeling the impact of reaganomics.

The cost to ship calories of food is cheaper then ever, and that's due Americas investing around the globe.
20th century engineering an science benefitted billions of people. from vaccines, to ag.

So yes, we use to.
Then we stopped tacking properly, then conservative started attacking science, and now we are gutting are own farmers.
Thanks to conservatives.

I see what you did there.
I approve.
