Pyrolysis sounds really cool in theory but in practice it's wasteful, produces lower quality fuel that is harder to refine, and contains a ton of benzene.

There's a dude on youtube making one of these in his backyard, basically a speed run to turn his house into a superfund site. I have no idea how people can see burnt plastic as a "green" alternative.

I feel like even calling this a ring is an insult to actual jewelry

Good news! This ring also comes in fuchsia pink with piss yellow sapphires:

it's real and if it didn't already look dystopian enough, everything is oil themed for some fucking reason.

I believe it was built for the world cup but wasn't finished in time, yet another $200+ million wasted in the desert.

I have torx all over my mountain bike that gets caked in dirt, a little bit of water and a pick gets them usable in seconds. I could argue that hex is superior to square but they're both worse than torx so who really cares.

Snakes don't suffocate prey by stopping their breathing, they stop the blood flow to the brain. A retic can kill a person without even trying, that much muscle around your neck might leave you a few seconds before you're unconscious.

Good lord, reading some of the comments on this article made me lose braincells. Musk sure is owning the marxist libs with these fucking leaky refrigerators on wheels.

Idk, something just irks the hell out of me when people are like "50% battery is actually good bro, it's the perfect storage level for lithium bro". It's not in storage anymore, it's being delivered.

ICE cars are shipped with a quarter tank or less, but they are never delivered without close to a full tank. The fact that the Tesla dealer didn't spend the $1 of electricity or the half hour washing it down is just plain rude. And yet, people are still defending this shit as if being abused by big daddy musk is their life's greatest goal. Absolutely mind boggling.

What?

Doug Demuro goes over every single weird little feature in the cars he covers. What does he not fully understand? But I also don't conder his videos true reviews, I'm not in the market for 90% of the cars he shows, and I doubt many people are. It's entertainment, and for car enthusiasts it's fun to see a breakdown of a cool car.

As for MKBHD, I would say his smartphone reviews are some of the only ones worth watching on YT. He uses them for weeks as his main device and I've never seen him shy away from speaking his mind. Again, he's an enthusiast and his nitpicks are probably irrelevant to a lot of users. But that's exactly why I like his reviews, it's a different perspective that I wouldn't get anywhere else. Low quality? My brother MKBHD puts more effort into his b-roll shots than most channel put into the entire review.

I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but reviewing anything boils down to "how many things can I find wrong about this product". If I want all the gushy features and crap I would just watch the press release.

If you have an amp: Modhouse Argons. The Fostex t50rp is built like a tank, and while it's not the most resolving planar in the world the sound signature is just a ton of fun. I've had various t50rp mods for 15+ years, none of them have broken and the argons are in my top 3 of all time. But they really do drink about 1 watt per channel, so if you're not already in the deep end, just avoid jumping in altogether.

No amp: KSC75/porta pros are pretty bassy, they just lack sub bass. Plenty of impact though, and for most music it's all you really need. Pick youself up an $10 apple dongle (apple sucks but their dongle dac is legitimately a great value) and you have about 90% of what an audiophile spent thousands to achieve.

Another no-amp option could be Monoproce retro headphones. It's sort of like an akg 240 clone but fully closed. The stock pads are terrible, but with some xl leather pads they become very comfortable and super bassy. The pads and cans are like $25 each; it's a pretty unbeatable value. But they are also a bit of a one trick pony, if you're looking to daily drive something the akg K371 would be a better rounded option.

I'd bet my bottom dollar a reddit LLM is being worked on too. They won't stop milking their communities until the end.
