For me, I’d edit things like timing as well as whether a given cylinder/rotor is actively firing based on engine load, disabling cylinders under low load (eg: already at speed, idling) to improve fuel efficiency and maximize power output for a given amount of fuel based on load and whatever the task at hand is (eg hauling loads, hauling ass, or gentle driving)

Edited: I was really tired when I typed this and missed a couple very important words.

There’s a lot of adjectives, and a couple nouns being used as adjectives, which did make it a bit hard to read to me🤷‍♀️. Personally I’d have used a semicolon instead of a comma as well, but that’s splitting hairs.

Confusing though? No absolutely not, just a bit of a task to parse.

If I’m gonna have computers in my car, ideally they’d be arduino-like such that I can modify the code on-board as I see fit or replace the parts relatively cheaply if damage were to occur to the electronics.

This is a big reason that high quality TVs are getting so much more affordable. The revenue from selling data subsidizes the cost to bring the price way down. “Telly” is one such company taking this to the extreme and offering the device to consumers free of charge.

I’m so fucking sick of living in a society. I’ve got a host of neurodivergencies that make life in a society a living hell. I have ADHD, BPD, ASD, I’m Transgender.

All I want is to be a nomad, traveling the world at my pace, foraging for food and collecting trinkets and baubles that make my brain go brrrr but no, instead of that I have to work a job I don’t want, for a company who doesn’t respect me, just to maintain a decent standard of living in a country that couldn’t give two shits whether I survive the day or not.

Suckless philosophy. The less computerization the better. I wanna be able to fix the whole thing with a 10mm, a jack, and an adjustable spanner.

Currently I have a 92 Corolla, it has too many computerized parts and I’m planning to replace the engine with a carbureted 3 rotor and a manual transmission. Ideally, I’d also like to implement Koenigsegg freevalve as well.

If all goes to plan, it could handle an EMP and keep running, though I’m not a prepper or anything, i just want a fully mechanical vehicle because I understand mechanics, but adding computers into the mix muddies the water.

Once upon a time I was scared of the friend zone until I realized that’s such a shitty thing to be afraid of. Like, oh no, you’re such good friends with someone they’re not willing to potentially damage your relationship with one another by pushing it further. The friend zone is a good thing. Enjoy platonic love, share that love and relish in it.

She’s a great BBEG, not necessarily evil per se, but I’d look into Darth Traya.

Met as an elderly light side force sensitive woman named Kreia, the Jedi Exile follows her guidance to regain her connection to the force, it having been stripped away by the council. Towards the end of her story she is revealed to be the head of a cult of sith lords who’s goal is to bring balance to the galaxy by destroying the force.

You’re not even joking.

Back in the early 2010’s my engineering team in HS built an electric Hummer, looks basically the same as a cyber truck but with more diamond plate.
