@vaporeon_ the entire point of electron is to allow the developer to selectively break through the browser sandbox as desired, but i’m not exactly convinced that’s a feature

@vaporeon_ looks like electron to me

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ @cam i eagerly await the arrival of the Full Clod (it seemeth to clodonialize the mind, he continueth)

this is funnier if you remember the bass synth growls vaguely like a revving motor

triple six, five, forked tongue

subatomic shaft rotation, rapid fire through your car
how i spun out on one, takin’ it back to the days of tryin’ to lose control
swervin’ in a blaze of rubber, raisin’ through my bones

oh shit, i’m feelin’ it, TACHO-
-meter, fuck yeah, i feel like killin’ it, TACHO-
-meter, that’s right, what it’s like to experience
TACHO-

@onfy @vaporeon_ @monorail lmao

*death grips voice* TACH-O!!!!!^-meter

@onfy @vaporeon_ @monorail i cannot find a dictionary attesting such to such a purronouciation but maybe they need to be updated

@vaporeon_ @onfy @monorail yup

@vaporeon_ @onfy @monorail gets rendered as schwa in my dialect anyway. there are a billion dialects of english

@vaporeon_ @onfy @monorail while the greek letter chi is a velar(?) fricative and not a stop, when transliterated into english we just use a velar stop

the taco reading doesn’t work though because the stress is on the second syllable and the weak a gets rendered as schwa

@vaporeon_ @monorail also, fur certain kinds of vehicles, like some kinda of trucks, it is desirable to keep the engine running at speeds that generate the most torque

@vaporeon_ @monorail if you use manual gear changes (quite uncommon today), you want to pay attention to when the motor is running too high or too low lest you adjust gears at a suboptimal time

@vaporeon_ @monorail (etymologically, that means the same thing as speedometer, but what you're measuring the speed of is very diffurent)

@vaporeon_ @monorail it measures how many revolutions purr minute (RPM) the motor is going through, in units of thousands

apparently the term fur this kind of gague is “tachometer”. i may have known that years ago

@Breakfast that sounds potentially delicious, what's in it ​
