  • Oh no it's not like that.

    Person C was wearing my team's colours, and person R wasn't. Therefore person C's death is terrible and person R's joke is a funny joke.

  • Depending on your reading of the bible, and how you interpret Jesus saying he didn't change the old testament law, anywhere between zero and all of them.

    But as stupid as biblical reasons for murder may be, they're not quite this heinous.

  • People who think the middle ages were great really need to do some serious reenactment.

    I mean, reenactors do it for fun, but we're all insane (and we get to go home to our hot showers and memory foam beds and central heating)

  • Why would you need to learn how to change a doorknob when that varies quite a bit per model? How would you teach changing a tire in a classroom, and why bother when cars don't come with spares anymore (also, how many flats do you get? I've literally had a single one in nearly 20 years). Changing the oil varies hugely per model too.

    I do agree that basic skills are important. Teach them how a drill or a saw works just so that they're not scared of using one. Teach them how to change a lightbulb or do some basic wiring. How to cut and bake vegetables.

    But all those specific things that they won't use for a decade? Nah, highschool is for foundational learning. If you understand a drill and a screwdriver, you can swap a doorknob yourself.

  • And if they said "Look at how pretty this mockup is" that would be fine. But instead they're saying thing "Look how eco-friendly it is, and how light, and how little glue was used so you can swap bits out". But those are all qualities that rely on this vehicle not actually being a car. If you apply any of this to a car, it stops being true.

    The point is to build something that looks like the auto of the future

    And all but one of my observations are about it NOT looking like a car, let alone a car of the future. I don't have any special insights, I just looked at the pictures.

    The point is actually to do a really cool design project and score some free ECTS credits by having fun.

  • But... this isn't a car. I'm going to be extremely negative here, but

    It's a go-kart with big wheels and a metal car shell on top. It's so weird that they're claiming this is some kind of environmental achievement as a car when it isn't one. It's a really fun hobby project, to be sure though.

    Things this "car" doesn't have:

    • headlights (it has soft-glow x-mas lamps glued on)
    • Indicators
    • Seatbelts
    • Seats that have more than 2cm of padding
    • Door locks
    • Door handles
    • Insulation and/or heating
    • Windows (the door and rear have plastic screens). That's why don't need any mechanisms to lift the doors, they're just single-sheet metal and plastic.
    • A properly secured front windscreen (seriously, it's got 2 clamps with 4 screws no wonder they barely used any glue, stuff is barely attached)
    • Windshield wipers
    • Literally any required safety feature.
    • Power steering, power braking. Obviously you don't need that for a go-kart, but you would if this were a real car.
    • Wheel arches (you can literally look through past the wheels, have fun scraping dirt out of that toolbox)
    • Literally any material at all between you and the frunk.
    • Any material between the wiring and the asphalt
    • Anything to prevent someone from quick-releasing those body panels and walking off with them.
    • Actually standardized body panels. Come on, there's no place you can get these things, especially not with the quick-release holes drilled in.

    Add all those things, and you'll quickly discover your 650kg "car" has turned into a 1000 kg car sans batteries, and your 13kWh batteries are basically useless. You're going to need to swap those batteries pretty frequently anyway, since making them hand-swappable probably makes them impossible to climate-control and exposes them to wild temperature swings.

    So yeah, this is a super fun hobby project, but it's on par with pretending my dad's old vespa is the future of motorcycles because you can maintain it at home.
