Backlog of chat up above.

Basically he's saying yea when trucks don't have to pay for fuel, products will be cheaper.

Uh.

Fuel is fuel.

Or when the fuel is cheaper

Whether it's gas or electric.

You are paying for a particular product of travel regardless.

He's talking alternative, like, who knows what, anything besides liquid fuel and electricity

idk his argument entirely, seems magical to me.

The only shizz we got is gas, electric, and hydrogen which is largely pre-prod.

Lol.

well there's diesel

but yeah

True.

At the end of the day battery technology is severely lacking, and to sustain high doses of electricity we will have to opt in towards other methods. In my opinion, that will go way of nuclear, or fusion (when that becomes viable).

Yea i don't see electric 18wheelers being very effective

Agreed.

I have no doubt that electric will *one day* surpass gasoline or diesel, but that's far off into the horizon.

a loooong long time from now

Yearp.

I'm hoping to see major change before I die. That would be cool.

Rapid acceleration in technology, and other stuff.

That'd be fun

I don't know if you follow PC news at all, but the new CPU specs and prices dropped by AMD is hype.

I'm hoping it stimulates competition, and prices drops all around between them and Intel.

Yea unfortunately i upgrade my PC ever 5 years or so, and got a new cpu a year ago

so i don't get to benefit from it immediately

and i spent more than i should have lol

I'm right there with you. I'm still rocking an i7-3770k CPU from Intel, and a GTX 970 from Nvidia. The 3770k was released back in 2011 IIRC, and I bought it in 2013. The GPU I won for free at a gaming LAN in Oregon 5 years back.

I'm hoping to do a new build by the end of the year.

Yea i've got a ryzen 1600 and gtx970

the mining went crazy so i never upgraded GPUs when i had an abundance of money and i no longer have an abundance of money

so now i wait

The mining was ridiculous for a good while there I'll say.

I would see people on reddit selling like 50x GPU's 😂

I'm like where the fuck do I get that type of money.

Yea there were used 970's on craigslist for more than i paid for my new 970 3 years prior

it was ridiculous

😐

So now i have VR and a 970, eh

I haven't got into VR yet. I haven't been impressed enough to dig into that side of tech. I'm hoping Oculus or HTC releases a better product in the next several years or so.
