Re: Computer Assisted Fornication

back in the idiot filter you go.

And most don't have ton of stuff to move and still have a vehicle that will carry it.

Sheesh, you guys get a thread about fornication and all you guys want to do is argue. :-)

Mikek

I don't carry a ton of stuff but it's pretty hard to get a yard or two of mulch in a car (my boss tried, with his Z5). ...or a half dozen sheets of plywood.

I'm sorry if he made you feel bad about yourself. His blog is centered on teaching people how to retire early, 30's or

40s. Buying a big truck is not helpful, buying a big truck on time is worse, driving a big truck with nothing in it except the driver is just saying "hey look at me" What kind off big truck do you have? Mikek

Nope. Not even close. I simply can't understand why people whine so much about other's decisions.

No, that's you're jealousy talking. Same whine about "McMansions".

We call that a hatchback here. There are back seats but they fold down comp letely and form a seamless floor when you convert to station wagon mode. I'm not sure any of the American auto companies make station wagons, they'r e all foreign owned. The station wagon of old was a piece of trash. Not tha t the English cars were much better. The English Ford in particular was a p owerless piece of trash, the driver had to get out and push it up a hill. W e make lawnmowers with more horsepower.

that's one of the things that just make no sense

Alzheimers does quite a few things. It doesn't impair past memories, but it doesn't give the sufferer the illusion of living in the past, even if they can't remember much of the immediate past.

Quite what krw has got is unclear. He can't absorb new information, and he' s convinced that whatever he knows is absolutely right, so he's got some ki nd of brain damage. He's obviously blind to this, and would resent anybody getting him diagnosed, so we may never know what is actually wrong with him . It doesn't seem to worry him, which may be the most worrying bit.

That's actually slightly different. The upward opening rear door is more he avily sloped, and you don't have much head-room close to the rear bumper.

oor when you convert to station wagon mode.

That a common feature in both. Can be very handy. You can get a bike into t he back of a car with that feature.

The station wagons I've driven have never been English - the first one was Peugeot, and it's successors were a couple of Nissans. None of them were mu scle cars, but they were all fine for fast motor-way cruising (until speed cameras got to be ubiquitous).

Sorry guys, but am sort of new to this group ....

I'm flattered.

Not in any depth, and essentially only progammable logic devices, and he hasn't said anything about them for years.

Design? May be a month or so ago. Built? Years. Hands on? Put a SSD into my computer last month ...

It's decades since I've written any code - at the last job I had (in Venlo) the computer manager was scared silly of having a compiler anywhere on any of his systems, so I had to do that kind of work in a spread-sheet.

Where I've been, if you could do hardware design you did that and left the writing of the software to the script kiddies, who were cheaper and easier to get more of.

Probably away from us -

granting the kind of hot air you are pushing out.

Not really. You are the same Dutch half-wit you always were.

It is in MNSHO not possible to write effective software without knowing the hardware in depth. That is why we have all that "look ma, I wrote 'hello mammy' in python" bloat overflowing the internet.

Try some embedded in asm.

As I pointed out in a very large public medium recently, I write stuff in a few kB that BLOAT COMPANY needs 100 MB for. And mine is faster.

My meter says about 37 C. That is not nearly hot.

Looking at recent down under temperatures your exhaust must be fenominal, is there such a thing as 'maximum temperature' as opposed to 'absolute zero'?

So Dutch rejected you, you polute the world by fleeing by flying and hiding down under, then complain about anti-pro-logic glowballworming, and now the Dutch are the bad guys.

Why would you need an SSD? :-)

Your statement lacks any context, what is that 'one' thing?

But I'll give you context for the MrMoneyMustache Blog, MMM worked in IT and managed to live Frugally, saving enough money that he retired by 30 yrs old. He wasn't rich but had about $750k and his home. Living frugally he could live off the income generated by his investments. The blog is about teaching others that want the freedom of not HAVING to work for money, how to do it. Also mixed in is a bit about using less of the earths resources. Many of the followers are saving 30%, 40% and even 50% of their yearly earnings. (it all about spending rate) Buying a big truck (little hands) does not fit that picture unless you are using that truck to earn money. No doubt it is a different mindset than most Americans have. Remember the headlines a short time ago, 50% of Americans can't come up with $1,000 for an emergency?

It would be nice if the MMM blog and forum started a few people thinking about a positive net worth rather than being deeply in debt. He continues to post his yearly spending ($25k), but the retirement police have called him on a few expenditures that he called investments vs expenses. But overall he lives on little income and still travels with and without his wife and kid. There are a plethora of Retire Early, Financial Independence type Blogs and forums on the net, is a small movement.

Here are just 8 of them; Go Curry Cracker. ... Mr. Money Mustache. ... 1500 Days. ... Think Save Retire. ... Root of Good. ... The Green Swan. ... Mr. Tako Escapes. ... Early Retirement Now.

What's that got to do with anything? I have had run-ins with the script kid dies - one of which persuaded them to move from floating point to fixed poi nt arithmetic, with beneficial effects - but in most cases you aren't worki ng close enough to the limits of the hardware for "in-depth knowledge" to m ake much difference.

Which bit of the internet?

I started out writing assembler for a PDP-8. Been there, done that.

a few kB that BLOAT COMPANY needs 100 MB for.

I've heard that one before. In general the 100Mb is an operating system tha t can do everything, and the few kilobytes can do something very specific ( and can't do as much exception handling as it should).

Of course it is. It's only doing what you want it to do (which probably isn 't as much as it needs to do).

It's warmer than ambient (at least in the Netherlands)

No. Your thermodynamics is a weak as your logic.

The Dutch are fine, and I was back there in July. You aren't but it's not y our nationality that is the problem.

I don't think I did, but now when I run a big LTSpice simulation I can get to look at all the waveform data immediately, rather than having to wait fo r it crawl off the rotating hard disk. It's a luxury, rather than a necessi ty.
