from the tardygrade’s perspective is it playing a large violin or a normal-sized cello?
Size-wise, relative to him, it’s much closer to a violin than a cello, maybe slightly larger. So a viola would be the best fit. I think the picture is of a cello though, just sized strangely.
Edit: that image is strange. It’s really popular, but bad. He’s playing the strings from the wrong side of the bridge. How do you get that wrong?
Because of the size difference between humans and tardigrades, it’s hard for tardigrades to attend music lessons and otherwise learn about human musical instruments, so give him a chance, he’s probably trying his best.
It’s impressive enough that a creature without thumbs is able to hold the bow in the first place, and you want to criticise him for how he’s holding his cellolin?
He’s holding the bow perfectly though, its just weird of him to miss the bridge
I’m ripping this response directly from another conversation on this image, I don’t actually know anything about cello.
He’s playing Penderecki!
It has to be a normal-sized cello, a violin would have toe be the other way around.
you can play a violin like that, but it would need to rest on your knee, and I’m just not seeing it
“can’t give this thing away unless I lower the price to probably $79k. Sucks.”
A brand new AWD CT from Tesla is $79,990.
Headline is clickbait. Seller is a whinger. Trash all round. Saved you a click.
Sorry to ask, but what is a “whinger”?
I believe it means “whiner”. As in one who whines and complains.
I don’t know where @CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net hails, but I just know this because I am a dad, which means I watch Bluey, and sometimes the dad on Bluey will tell the kids to “quit whinging”.
Huh, it’s common as in Australia.
Never thought of it as an Australian word. Odds are it has its roots in England though I guess
In Harry Potter, an English book, the Dursleys are from Little Whinging, because Rowling has no imagination.
I’ll take that as canon given her other extremely obvious names
Are you one of those people that whinged about Marvel having a character named Wong, when the actor who portrayed Wong, was named Wong?
What? No. What does that have to do with anything? I’m talking about names like Draco Malfoy.
She didn’t plagiarise all of Harry potter though so she must have some imagination. Creatively bankrupt might be more apt
Rowling’s goblins? Based on a racist caricature
The house elves? Wouldn’t you know it, also based on a racist caricature
Centaurs? You guessed it! Based on a racist caricature!
My Geordie friend uses it a lot, I think you’re right on the money.
(Geordies are from the region around Newcastle upon Tyne from what he told me, so part of northern England)
I love how watching taskmaster has given me knowledge of different accents
I first heard it in the US in 2006 and had to ask what it meant.
Whinging and whining - though not exactly identical in meaning - are pretty much the same word to all intents and purposes in casual language.
@Zementid @CurlyWurlies4All Australian here. Whinging is complaining or whining
Between price drops and the cybertruck recently qualifying for the federal EV tax credit, buyers can get a brand new unit for what this guy is asking. This early adopter paid too much and got a bad deal, but there’s no mystery as to why no one wants to buy at his asking price.
Off topic: it looks waaaaay better in black. 😳
A lot of ugly cars look better in black, the Chevrolet Uplander for example
I too look better in black. Does this mean I am an ugly car?
No, it means you are a beautiful cat
What a lovely response!
That’s because you see less of it :)
Honestly yeah. Almost batmobileisc
That’s what the guy who blew up his cybertruck said. Made him feel like Batman.
“I feel like Batman, or Halo”
Looks like Crocks with wheels. 😂
Yes. I never said I like it. It just is insanely better than the normal light grey one.
Give the grey one a few hours of slightly high humidity, and it’ll at least be brown! LOL
I think it’s called rat rod :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_rod
No one will buy a used car for more than they can get a new one. Who knew?
“I can’t give this thing away.”
FTA: He’s not trying to give it away. He’s expecting last year’s used market value for it, but it’s steadily depreciating. Someone offered him 50k for it. He overpaid for a new car.
Pretty much, guy’s just being a Karen. “Broken TV from the 60’s, 500 dollars. Don’t low ball me, I know what I have.”
A fool and his money…
I can think of one way to get rid of it. Saw it on the news last week. He’s probably not going to like it.
idiot wants brand new value for his used vehicle. i hate these things, but this doesnt match reality on non-tesla vehicles let a lone one thats now nazi-based.
There is a Tesla dealership near my house that has a lot full of them. A ridiculous number. It seems that Tesla is struggling to get rid of them. Hard to believe that there is not a huge market for electric dumpsters sold by a conspicuous asshole.
All of a sudden I don’t feel like the stupidest person for having my passport stolen and missing my flight.
That doesn’t make you stupid, more like a victim at least with the context you provided.
Ooof sorry to hear that. Any chance of getting it back? Sometimes people take the money but return the IDs / passport to wherever was closest.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to concern anyone with my absent mindedness. I filed a police report and the police did examine the cameras and confirmed the theft but I didn’t choose to prosecute. I already made arrangements with the embassy to get a temporary pass and travel back home next week.
All’s well that ends well.
Pictured: typical parking job from cyber truck owner.
Expensive lesson, try not being a sucker next time.
“Oh no my shitty car depreciated” god who would have guessed
Park it front of a hotel with something something has a fuse
Sledder also shares that over his lifetime, he has driven and sold over 40 exotic cars, and the Cybertruck is the one vehicle he is having the most trouble finding buyers for.
Not sure why he’s mentioning exotic cars and Cybertrucks in the same sentence. Anyways, he was a sucker the moment he paid the extra $20k or whatever for the Foundation Series. He was never getting that back.
