So, there is a lot of talk about kids identifying as cats or dogs “furries”, they call them.
Imagine if you can, that one of my kids told me they thought they were a cat?
Sitting at the supper table son says: “Dad, I think I’m a cat!
Dad: “No son, you’re a boy! “
My son: “No dad some of my friends at school identify as cats, they call themselves furries, and so do I !! It’s my right and you can’t do anything about it!”
Dad:
🤔
“OK!! “
My son: “Hey, where’s my supper? “
Dad: “Your supper is in the catfood bowl in the corner. Now get off the table you mangy cat!”
My son: “What???”
Dad: hits him with a broom, “get off the table furball!!”
My son in the corner looking bewildered!
Me to my wife : “Is that cat neutered”??
My wife: “I will make an appointment!! “
My son: “What??? “
😳

Dad: “Your mother and I have decided we don’t want a house cat, so get out to the barn and hunt mice!”
My son: “What???”
Dad: brandishes broom, “NOW, to the barn you stupid cat!!”
My son: “Dad, I think I’m a boy!”
Dad: “I thought so, now sit down and eat your supper!!”
Spay and neuter these animals. Stop them from reproducing. Today’s society has enough fruit loops already.

There was a school north of Austin that had a litter box for the furies. My buddy got loaded up on German food and a ton of beer the night before basketball games there in the morning. He waited to drink his coffee and make the morning bombing run till he was at the school. He said it looked like a cow shit twice in the litter box. The litter boxes were removed that next week from the school.
 
Shame about that guy's car.

Your verbiage is inspired.

Morning bombing run.

Priceless.

I get it, but networking like this saves a bunch of weight and actually makes these fancy schmancy cars less complex. It is something new and sometimes frustrating to learn though
Have you seen how Elon handled it in the Tesla Truck? Basically used a LAN and took something between 70 and 100 pounds of copper out of the truck... Brilliant.

BTW, putting a new wiring harness in my 1976 CJ-7.

Here's the whole thing....

Now, where is that computer... Not sure how it could possibly run without more computing power than the entire Space Program prior to 1977... Must be in here somehow or it won't start!

This series of "Munro Live" videos from inside the Tesla Truck plant show that Musk's team is on another planet.... This one and Munro's "panel discussion" are a bit of time to watch. But holy smoke worth it.

This one vvv talks about the Ethernet/Token Ring network and how they 'wired' the cyber truck. Incredible advance over the CanBus.



Cheers,

I think I remember the guys who taught the w221 class that all of the CAN systems saved about 150lbs.

I like the idea of some old something-or-other that has a few feet of wiring. But I also like a/c and heated seats…

The way the did the LAN on tesla puts a single ring of wire around the truck. Then connects things with 6 - 10" shunts. Everything runs around the main wire instead of having each device plugged into its own fuse port or central computer.

As for the CJ... I like heated seats, too. But not at the cost of my car not starting because some PLA dink in a white building in Bejing decides he doesn't want it to because I called him a Zipperhead on Snipers Hide.

There’s a sweet spot of cars that have all the bells and whistles and can be modified in a bunch of ways but still old enough that they can’t be controlled super easily.
 
Less complex my fucking ass!
Well, no, not less complex than some old farm truck. But less complex than if all of the control units had to have their own dedicated inputs/outputs. With signals being networked like they are, several control units can use the signal from one sensor(engine temperature for example).
