@freemo I get it. I don't experience that, or I should say I don't consciously experience that :) maybe it is happening in the background and I don't know.

@freemo so the subconscious is a coprocessor of sorts to the conscious side? Interesting idea.

@freemo I think that it is a fascinating question to consider whether or not animals have a separation of conscious and subconscious minds. We know that some animals are capable of complex thought and behaviour, but it is difficult to say for sure whether they are doing so consciously or subconsciously. An octopus can solve complex problems, but is it doing so consciously or through a series of impulse decisions?

I think that one of the challenges in answering this question is that we don't have a clear definition of consciousness. What does it mean to be conscious? Is it simply the ability to be aware of one's own existence? Or is it something more than that?

@makesubarugayagain @Basmitharts we don't have GM trucks here, I only ever see them as imports and they are not very common here at all. Most people who import a truck seem to import a RAM or Ford.

@makesubarugayagain @Basmitharts I don't know :) I assumed it was a dualy from the factory.

@Basmitharts I have zero understanding of American custom truck culture. I mean, I like pickups enough to drive one in Europe and I'm running a slightly larger tyre than stock too, but mostly for extra sidewall height for practicality and it isn't all heaven either because with the larger tyre comes worse fuel economy.

Why does a truck like this exist? What practical reason is there to running oversized wheels with low-profile sidewalls as well as a lift kit? I simply don't get it. It's a lose-lose-lose situation. Every single modification seems to be there to make the truck worse in some way.

@kevinctofel I'm a happy 714 owener :D

@epikrisa his name indicates that he goes above and beyond, that's no simple vasectomy.

@BackFromTheDud I think this server is on an old version, it's lacking a few features. I only seem to get the delete and redraft option, and there's no way to auto-delete old toots like on other servers either.

@BackFromTheDud yeah :)

@BackFromTheDud indeed. A big advantage of reducing the hood length is potentially reducing overhangs and wheelbase length, which would improve off-road ability :)

@BackFromTheDud I hate autocorrect....

@juanfr really nice interview :) As for the keyboards... :) I'll just smile and try to forget how unreliable it was.
