[07:42:02] halibut_ is now known as halibut
[07:42:56] <halibut> The autoevolution link above (driver fined due to loud exhaust on an EV) will not load for me (requires Javascript, presumably to pass some sort of CAPTCHA).
[07:43:23] <halibut> Is it serious? Is this a joke like something you would find in The Onion, or is there something else I am missing?
[07:49:28] <Ingar> sounds like a perfectly fine legislation passed by knowledgeable elected representatives
[07:50:32] <halibut> I found a version that was not blocked for me: https://vnauto.net
[07:50:35] <systemd> ^ 03The Unbelievable Tale of a Driver Fined for the Roar of His Electric Dodge Charger
[07:51:24] <halibut> While it might be a complete mistake, the person has been warned before for loud exhaust in ICE cars, and the particular EV he was driving at the time actually plays loud engine noises when accelerating over a speaker, in certain driving modes.
[07:51:38] <halibut> The article suggests it is possible that the car could actually have been loud.
[07:52:35] <halibut> The driver apparently claims the car in front of him was the loud one, though. Nothing in the article suggests one over the other, it just comes down to which person you believe, I suppose.
[07:52:37] <Ingar> imho that puts him in the same category as boomcars
[07:53:30] <Ingar> as far as I'm concerned, the kind of car that should be seized and destroyed
[07:56:59] <halibut> That reminds me: https://www.youtube.com
[07:57:01] <systemd> ^ 03Can You Hear the F***ing Music Coming Out of My Car?
[08:00:45] <halibut> Also: https://xkcd.com and https://xkcd.com
[08:00:47] <systemd> ^ 03Bass
[08:00:47] <systemd> ^ 03Conditioning
[08:22:53] <c0lo> Ah, so you still search the Internet.
[08:33:33] <halibut> Whoosh. I think something just went way over my head. Did I just out myself as old or something, or is that a comment about other people?
[08:34:33] <halibut> (For the record, I remembered the AoE music video and the Conditioning XKCD, but had to search for them to get the links ... the Bass comic I had not thought of, but found when searching for Conditioning)
[08:45:51] <c0lo> Was in relation to "Is this a joke like something you would find in The Onion, or is there something else I am missing?"
[08:47:44] <c0lo> Anyway, I'll be grateful if you were sub your link, I stumbled upon it but didn't check if systemd chew it proper - it didn't.
[08:49:34] <halibut> =sub https://vnauto.net Possibly a better link for the EV-exhaust-too-loud story previously submitted with autoevolution link

[08:49:49] <halibut> Let's see if that worked ...
[08:51:13] <halibut> Neither looks great, but maybe the two combined can amount to something.
[08:53:33] <c0lo> Thank you.

[20:13:44] <kolie> Matthew Dowd getting cancelled for his comments on hateful speech generates hateful actions is bullshit.
[20:14:10] <kolie> He's not saying its warranted, he's saying X tends to bring Y with it.
