Me too. That's comparable to my dad's old 4 cylinder Toyota Pickup (mid-80's, so similar era). Smaller engine and wayyyy less power so I would've expected the pickup to get worse than the Delorean.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I'd love to take that as a project vehicle.

Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it'd be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It'd probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain's fancy.

Of course, after blowing something up, I'd probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I'm suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they've got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I'll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).

But now I'm rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.

Ninjaedit: just took a look as some of the pondering above. I forgot how silly the interiors look, so def wouldn't bother with attempting it as a project car.

Derp, that's what happens when you have to bounce between too many pages on mobile.

Thanks for the pointer!

Metric appears to end at 10^30, but even then, I think the better way to phrase that number would be 5,000 quetta-bytes

Tera = 10^12; ~~Septillion~~ Sextillion = 10^21

This.

I tend to have a critical importance 1x1 cell for storing tribal wear. Can be a waste if masterwork clothes end up there, but its not like I was keeping it for anything but backup for new colonists and such.

Next question: how does the rest of the photo come out when using that camera lens?

Polarized light still feels like black magic to me, so I wouldn't be surprised if it would have a negligible to no effect on anything else in the frame, but my instinct says it would mess up a bunch of random things, thus making it useful for very specific spy craft type applications, but not for general use.

See, so I've never seen the purpose of NTFS streams. In a cyber security course, I was warned to look out for Alternate Data Streams, but got an unsatisfactory answer when I prodded the instructor for more (it was apparent that didn't have anything beyond a surface level understanding of them).

Your link was informative in grasping what they are, but I still don't think I'm clear on how they're used in the "real world". Like, what (and how) would one use them for a legitimate purpose?

I feel the same way. I find it near miraculous I didn't fall into the trap that's being sold to young men these days.

I'm hesitant to share too much of my own story, but it makes me feel real sympathy for the guys being ridiculed for following Tate and such. I know the leaders are garbage, but its hard to not feel attacked when I hear the general internet lashing out at the followers for being ensnared.

I know what its like to be young and dumb, to be told you have so much potential, but then to also feel direction-less and like a loser.

I know the leaders are charlatans that are selling snake oil...but I don't know what to tell these guys to get them unhooked from that crowd.

Any tips on how to better use Obtanium?

At a glance, it seems to give me what I've always wanted (that is, access to all the switches and levers behind the scenes), but it is a bit overwhelming to start with.

I like your logic. I'll need to chew on that thought to make sure I agree, but that's a really good point.
