胡晨风有感
最近看了好多湖晨风,有感而发:
- 真实是惨烈的,人就是从出生开始收到家庭的影响,人生轨迹开始不同,分三六九等。
- Stephen Fry说的是对的,原生家庭可以通过自己看书弥补,和高尚有知识的人通过看书对话。
- 中国大部分人还是十分愚昧无知,人云亦云。近几年的教育也更加文革化,完全没有歧义存在的空间。
- 爱国情绪被调动的很高涨,普通人很难避免
- 说真话就真会被乱骂
My rant, my banter, my cynical view, my loving words.

What a triumph of tv drama this side of new year! That little chubby chic Camille is pregnant yet indignantly becoming true to herself only at the last minute when she’s on the altar of marriage and she couldn’t hold it for a minute longer? While also having a secret girl girl action with a semi hot Greek chic? Not that believable and feels a little patronizing. But the drama is great nonetheless.
hello avid followers of this riveting blog, all 0 of you. Long time.
it's only fittings that we begin by exploring the hands on experienced infused review of the pros and cons of tesla's peasant class vehicle, the 2022 shanghai made rwd standard range model Y that I gleefully been driving for the past 2 months.
Pros
The software isn't as crapware as the angry internet mob described. So far there wasn't one time that I was forced to restart the onboard OS when driving, there was only 1 times something was off and I rebooted in the safety of my driveway. Speakers are definitely a step up from my X3 as well, spotify sounds crisp and full bodied in the car.
Acceleration is brisk when properly prodded with a heavy right foot, and the pitched whining from the rear axel motor adds a tad of exotic excitement to the otherwise rather eventless yet forceful acceleration. However it also would quickly become a game to see how frugal you can be with the electricity mileage, especially that the onboard graphics shows almost second by second reading of the electric juice efficiency, I almost felt guilty when the mileage graph shot up.
While there is no 360 view camera, the rear view camera and lines are quite adequate for reversing. Blind spot camera and sentry mode recordings are also nice touches and mostly mitigated the need for additional recorders.
Not having to service the engine and having fewer moving parts to service is definitely a plus. I guess electric motor requires 0 service ever. It's just air filters, tyres, brake fluids. Braking is largely a result of regen braking instead of metal friction except in the most urgent scenarios when a sudden stop is called for. It is nice knowing i'm not using the brakes and there's no expensive brake system replacement after few years.
How can I not mention the absolute deciding factor that it is so cheap? for 70k AUD it is an absolute bargain. the SUV you can buy for 70K? not even an x1 these day. Apparently X1 starts at closer to 80k now. What a rip off in comparison.
Cons
Not having to fill up expensive petrol or diesel is certainly a given, however given its range of 430km and the recommendation to fill up even if you used 20%, that translates to charge every other day. Given that I need to take the charger out from the front and connect up every time, it's a slight inconvenience however you can also stretch to 3-4 days and recharge overnight if I want to, so it's entirely self inflicted at the moment.
Steering wheel, though, is so wooden and rubbery it's not funny. I miss the bmw steering wheels full stop. If that's intentional I'm not sure it's a good direction for steering feedback to go, I for one will miss the fluidity and smoothness. The steering wheel and the stalks definitely aren't female friendly and requires a bit of a brute to operate.
The lack of a HUD or center display may or may not be a key issue in the long term, but to me it feels like a decidedly omission. Whilst my previous bottom spec Bmw x3 is also missing an HUD, the omission felt more hurtful when the only speedo reading in on a screen off center and require a distant glance.
on my recent revelation of short video
seems reading is much more suited to our brain than the pesky short videos, noting that short videos having its merits by disseminating info quickly, (albeit in a blast fashion so how much user remembers and go back to it is questionable)
so two movies about the seas but vastly different.
It's refreshing to hear about different perspectives and narratives fed by the mainstream these days. I mean the largest conspiracy is probably peddled by the mainstream media these days, Trump is probably right in a sense, not that i agree totally with that guy. so the main theme of Seaspiracy is the tale of global fishing industry evil-doings, to sum up succinctly. Fish nets became by far the largest source of killing for marine life as they lethally tangle in them. by-catch are literally deadtraps for dolphins, and trawlers globally pay no regards to the marine seabed vegetations that sustain life under the surface.
the whole film is pretty filled up with punches enough to arouse a deep and pungunt sense of disgust and distaste for anything marine-sustaining in appearance. even the seemingly harmless salmon farming up the idyllic coast of Ireland were actually not so natural in the end. even more off-putting are the fact that farmed salmon are grey and they just colour them orange, like Trump's skin.
the solution provided by the film is just singular in its intent: eat less fish. no other alternatives as proven by this very persuasive film would save the marine world from tipping into oblivion, thereby wrecking havoc on the whole climate irreversibly and killing all of us.
However the questions, like the social dilemma before it, posed on the viewing mass is whether a subscription only service like this and the impact and discussion that can be generated. Fish as a food category is now highly regarded thanks to the Japanese sushi snooties and general marketing push over the last half century, and it's pretty hard to knock fish off the pedestal they are on as a food group unless something drastic happens to the world's taste. It's not like sugar where detriments are clearly and scientifically available and visible. Fishing industry can throw money and hide it from view.
a rare true life expose of Diego Maradona the player in the Napoli years. What skill and smart! The italian fan sure did turn against him quick enough, having 85,000 people welcoming him and no one see him leave at the end. Pressue would get to the best of them not to mention someone like Diego who came from a slum. a moving yet sad tale in the end. But boy did he shine in the 2 world cups and the 2 series a league titles! what a star
Pixar over the years has really mastered the abstract to reality type of emotional extension, depicting with true realism of the edge case scenarios vivily in such masterpiece as coco and inside out. This is yet another successful attempt at singling out the human soul and wrapped mindfulness around it in a surreal story. Jazzing obviously being a true standout in this animated feature and my favourite Tina Fey didn't disappoint. come to think of it, this story of outer body experience probably isn't that new, but it's just be pixar-ised and now it's whole family fun and thought provokingly good.
Real life in the moment experience are always good for the mind, looking at the surf life savers and a kids surfing class on broadbeach this week was certainly good for the soul.
