Last Notes npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: If you want to hear he most polarizing music in my household this is it. I love this musician but especially this mix, Jenny hates it with every fiber of her being. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I brought my audi is for some servicing and I have a brand new A5 loaner. I hate this car. it's like my car only they cut everything I liked and added a bunch of stuff I hate. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Today I went with my neighbor N and her mom to go autocrossing at lime rock. N was absolutely a natural. with a little instructor she got much better. he final times score was 51 seconds on the full loops. a time of abtu 45s or less gets you into the top 20 for the shoot out at the end of the season. those people also had boosted cars. Her mom had a blast and ran he green and checkered flag for the timed laps. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: One of the perks of being an audi owner is my audi dealership has this really great new wave 80s 808 hold music. second only to my old saab mechanic's synthesizes Bach hold music. not switched on bach but similar. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: We're going to lime rock. Next weekend. the folks at nutmeg miata club rent the autocross course for the whole day. There will be new driver instruction. Then they open up the full course and do timed runs. Then it's free driving which lasts hours. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My neighbor who is going autocrossing next month with me wants an X5. I've hired a crisis counselour to help me cope with the fact that she doesn't like the cars that I think are cool I was trying to think of cars that are somewhat similar but much better for a young driver. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: does it have a jane austin themed cafe or something? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: "The pope is weak on crime because the vandals stole the candles" - Bob Dylan npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My parents bought a red one when they were brand new. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: A car liek this is really desireable because the ramp works in any perpendicular parking spot., you can aso wheel yourself in and a lot of people can get from their chair to the driver's seat and drive. There is an ologopoly of assessable vehicles in america and these cars give a lot of independence for a small amount of money. In japan a new accessible vehicle is under $20k. here the clossest thing is a kia soul with rear entry for $60k. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I also want to flag #blind and #disability because the entire project is text based. A blind person can load the firmware entirely in text terminal or even use claude code to install everything. The #BBS itself is entirely text. unlike traditional BBS that have more resources I don't have a lot of ASCII/ANSI art that a reader can't deal well with. it's just text. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Entering week 3 of "this might be the week I hear about the job", only this time there is evidence this might be the week. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Non-Euclidean geometry npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: A big thank you to the drivers of Long Island. Usually it’s the worst place to drive on a weekend but everything lined up and I had a pleasant drive in and out. Most of my drive was in HOV with someone behind me that didn’t want to go fast. In front of me was a giant line of cars behind someone going between 55-75. Everyone was going crazy trying to get out and I was in this private luxury bubble for an hour. I was hypermiling and got 34 mpg for the trip, insane numbers for nyc area. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: This is my ideal EV npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: It’s nice waking up and seeing our European friends tooting about #NoKingsDay. I unfortunately have to work today but was able to move things around to attend an event or two. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: This is my second summer with the fit and I still want to drive the fit more than the miata. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: It’s such a Joy to drive the fit around. I took it to the target which is a 30 minute trip through a Lot of back roads. I don’t think you need more power for the roads where I live. It’s mostly two lanes and maintaining speed through windy back roads is more important than acceleration. The four lane roads near me are either heavily enforced or so close to the city they are super congested. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: You actually don't have to think to hard or know the US market to know what the answer is. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Welcome @npub1a09…8nfu to Weird.autos :wa: npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: we’ll probably wait for better weather. I’m nowhere near buying but I love boutique high efficiency speakers. A direct model with a showroom is a model I like. I’m also pretty loyal to my local guy. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://weirdautos.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/113/902/347/634/568/929/original/b5c6d704525d9e23.jpeg npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I got my special Atlantic 75th anniversary copy of Velvet Underground loaded. It’s hard to tell if you can even tell the difference with masters. This certainly sounds good but I’m Not sure how well I remember this album. The album is an analog master from the analog tape to DSD. it’s a AAD CD. The vinyl is AAA. Overall I would say it sounds more like a record due to the master. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: SHAME! npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: One thing that’s confusing for me is what republicans are cool and not cool with. There are all these republicans on board with like 90% of Trump stuff but draw the line at Laura loomer cat eating stuff. Like its eight years after candidate Trump came along. You’ve been loyal for eight years. And this is where you draw the line? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: my brother is a pro bettor and his day job is setting the odds for a sports book. He pays taxes every year on his winnings. Once he hit a bet the was +30,000 or about 1 in 300 or roughly only 1% of the chance trump had in 2016. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: no way that’s very accurate. It’s just one poll, it’s just the best poll we have.
