    There's a prescient observation for Apple trolls of...
    Q: Why do Apple trolls know nothing about anything?
    A: ?

    Least of all about Apple products.

    For example, Alan Baker claims to know about BMWs and yet, he clearly
    doesn't know the first thing about them - down to not even knowing what the
    the parts are on the engine that make bimmers work the way they do.

    All Alan Baker knows is the bullshit that BMW marketing fed him.

    Chris claims to know about immunology and yet, he doesn't know the first
    thing about immunology - such as the relative size of a SARS-COV-2 RNA
    genome or extremely basic terms such as the use of "vehicle" in science.

    All Chris knows is the bullshit that is fed to him by the media.

    Alan Browne claims that the resale value of the iPhone is higher than
    Android when he doesn't even add into the fact that he ignored all the
    costs of ownership such as AppleCare+ and the proprietary cabling & the
    need to purchase components due to the lack of basic hardware (such as
    standard ports and slots which are missing on all current iPhones and the
    need to constantly replace batteries due to the substandard capacity).

    All Alan Browne knows is the bullshit fed to him in Apple white papers.

    Jolly Roger claims Apple fully supports old releases. He doesn't know that Apple has *never* fully supported more than one release in all its history.

    All Jolly Roger knows is the (brilliant) marketing fed to him by Apple.

    The question is valid since *everyone* but Apple trolls knows this stuff.

    Why do Apple trolls (Lewis, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Chris, Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, JF Mezei et. al) merely parrot Apple marketing?

    I never claimed to be a BMW expert - I simply claimed to own a bimmer
    and a beemer and because of that, I know a lot about those two
    vehicles.

    I'm ignorant as to the difference between a "bimmer" and a "beemer" so
    maybe you can explain it to me. Why don't people just say BMW? It's
    not like that's a long acronym.

    I may have mentioned this once. My mother who is German made sure I
    knew how to pronounce Audi correctly. She hated when people pronounced
    it "au-di" and said it's pronounced "ow-di".

    I'm of German descent and I've always known what a bimmer & beemer are, badgolferman - but - I've owned both bimmers and beemers also.

    If I own something, I then learn what I need to learn to know everything I
    want to know about it. In the case of the beemer, my 525i happens to have a
    CCV valve, which happens to clog up, which happens to make it fail
    California emissions - which means - I have to learn how to replace it.

    You will *never forget* a CCV replacement badgolferman. Never.
    It's not possible to forget because you have to rip the engine bay apart.

    When you replace the cooling system, you will *never forget* that the Behr expansion tank is just about as complicated as they could have made it.

    When you replace the thermostat & waterpump, you will *never forget* the special 32mm tools you need just to spin off the radiator fan which has to
    be removed before you can get the serpentine belt off.

    To get the serpentine belt off, you will *never forget* how strongly and strangely designed the belt tensioners are that you have to also deal with.

    When you fail emissions again, you have to deal with the DISA valve, which
    is an expensive plastic piece of garbage that is on the intake manifold.

    When you adjust your (admittedly rather comfortable leather) driver seat,
    you will *never forget* the adjusting cable slips out of its clasp because eventually they all get "seat twist" which you then have to deal with.

    Speaking of the interior, the cupholders are a joke but you have to periodically replace them because they break on every single 525i owner.

    The trunk loom is a disaster just waiting to happen, depending on which
    wires chafe and then short out against the others, causing all sorts of
    strange electrical problems which are almost impossible to diagnose.

    Speaking of impossible to diagnose, when the ABS control module goes out,
    and it will because it fails on everyone - when you take it apart, you'll
    be appalled at the "angel hairs" inside which simply break off at the weld.

    All this - and more - is what will be inescapable to any bimmer owner who
    owned the particular model that I owned since these problems are universal.

    Those are just facts - but the *assessment* of those facts is my simple
    summary that BMW does not know how to make systems work together.

    Since *none* of those issues was in the drive train or suspension, I will
    say that BMW makes those two systems work beautifully together.

    Do you see what I'm trying to impart - which has nothing per se to do with
    BMW but to do with *understanding* things that a normal person should do.

    I (think I) understand how BMW thinks about the design of vehicles.
    a. The drive train & suspension are what BMW cares about
    b. Not anything else

    Back to your question, it's a running joke among *all* BMW aficionados that
    the noobs always come into the web site (such as bimmerfest.com) always
    trying to tell us how much they know about their vehicle.

    The instant they use the word beemer for a car, for example, we know
    they're completely clueless morons who are posers like Alan Baker is.

    If someone doesn't even know a beemer from a bimmer, they know nothing
    about BMW vehicles as only the posers confuse the two critically important terms (for most of us who own both - and I know you own a motorcycle too).

    If a person tells you that you "drive" that big heavy Honda you own, you
    would also instantly ascertain they know absolutely nothing about bikes.

    Am I right?

    The point here is the Apple trolls know nothing about Apple products.
    In fact, the Apple trolls know nothing about anything.
    They're all Dunning Kruger left of the first quartile on Mount Stupid.
    You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this.

    But those trolls themselves are who think they're geniuses for standing in
    long lines outside the Apple store waiting along with other likewise Apple geniuses to pay through the nose for a substandard product line from Apple.

    All the Apple trolls (Lewis, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Chris, Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, JF Mezei et. al) merely parrot Apple marketing.

    They don't actually know *anything* about the Apple products they love.
    Just like none of them know anything about BMWs (the bikes or the cars).

    And I never claimed to "know about BMWs".

    I just happen to drive one.

    You dragged the goalposts away from claiming I don't own one, didn't you?

    Arlen is a pseudointellectual hack who introduces irrelevant asides into a discussion to parade why he thinks he's more knowledgable than his many targets. Why else would anyone arbitrarily introduce Einstein into a discussion besides an exercise in pseudointellectual pretense? Only wackaloons do that.

    What's interesting is the Apple trolls like Hemidactylus, who know nothing about anything, instantly assume that terms are for "pseudointellectuals".

    Notice that normal people (like badgolferman) simply ask why all BMW aficionados use these specific terms, while the hoi polloi don't know them.

    Yet these Apple trolls, who, of course, don't know BMW terms & yet they
    claim to own BMWs, call anyone who knows anything, a "pseudointellectual".

    Since badgolferman rides a Gold Wing (which Honda doesn't usually refer to
    as a "Goldwing" but many people do), he knows the terms "ride" & "drive".

    If someone walks up to him saying "I know everything about Goldwings
    because I drive one myself", badgolferman would know he is a poser.

    This is relevant because all th Apple trolls are posers.
    They're all on Mount Stupid to the left of the 1st Dunning-Kruger quadrile.

    Which is why it was important to destroy the poser who claimed to be a physicist and yet he didn't even realize gravity is not a force.

    Likewise with Alan Baker who claims to "teach racing" and yet Alan has no
    idea whatsoever of what a catenary is - which is a common term for curves.

    Similarly with Jolly Roger who claims that Apple fully supports older
    releases when the fact is even Apple says they have never ever done that.

    Same with Chris who claims to own a doctorate in the medical sciences and
    yet he ridicules common immunology terms like "vehicle" which everyone
    learns in their very first class in immunology or his claim that an RNA
    genome of 30K subunits is tiny - when in fact - it's HUGE for RNA virions.

    My main point is that all these Apple trolls are posers.

    All the Apple trolls (Lewis, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Chris, Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, JF Mezei et. al) merely parrot Apple marketing.

    It's horribly complicated.

    So *everyone* with that bimmer model has to replace it.

    Like your Gold%20Wing/Gold-Wing/Goldwing/etc. air filter joke, it's as if
    BMW started with a CCV and then built the entire engine around that one emissions component.

    It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't fail emissions - but it often does.

    So everyone who knows anything about that bimmer model is well acquainted
    with the CCV (among other horridly designed engine components).

    If they claim to be knowledgeable in that model, and if they don't know
    about the CCV, then it's clear that they're just posers playing games.

    Like Alan Baker who never knew what a catenary was until I explained it to
    him in terms of sweeping around curves at constant speeds.

    Alan Baker was so stupid, even after he looked it up - he thought it was
    about bridges - which proves yet again my point these Apple trolls are incredibly uneducated, and hence ignorant of everything - especially Apple products.

    Even when told a catenary had to do with taking curves at speed, these
    Apple trolls insisted a catenary has only to do with suspension bridges.

    That's how stupid these Apple trolls truly are.

    They read Wikipedia, which I'm sure mentions suspension bridges, and they
    don't have the education to flip the terms 90 degrees to sweeping out

    They're morons.

    Since I study the Apple trolls, I find Alan Browne only less interesting

    I asked only to confirm my own understanding, doofus.

    Did you notice that not one person in that discussion said that they'd
    ever heard of "catenary" being used in the context of the racing line.
    Many, many decades of racing experience in that group, and not ONE
    person said they'd ever heard it used.



    'I had never heard the term before your post. Having now looked it up I
    know why, it's clearly not the optimal racing line through any curve I'm
    aware of!'



    "Let the guy think whatever the H he wants, sounds like he will either
    way — and perhaps *especially* when you prove him wrong."



    "38 years in this game and never have I heard that word used by anyone.

    I bet your "friend" reads a lot of books."



    "Been racing since 1988 and have never heard the term CATENARY used to describe any aspect of a turn."



    "I know the word but never heard it as a line in a corner. I believe it
    is the strongest shape for a suspension bridge."



    "So, IMO, catenary has little relationship to the "best" line in racing."

    That quote, BTW, is from a guy who has been racing for more than 50
    years and only won the Sports Car Club of America's national championship...

    Guess what Hemidactylus. I posted today to the Android newsgroup and you

    Do you know why I didn't post here to the Apple newsgroups that same
    question? The answer is Apple trolls don't know anything about anything.

    But since you pulled Alan G. Baker's post out of my killfile, notice that
    the catenary is one of the most fundamental curves, where the morons think curves can only be in the Y axis but there's nothing stopping curves from existing on the x axis (or any axis for that matter, even 4D spacetime).
    <http://lastufka.net/lab/cars/why/raceit.htm>
    "This race report features two cars named "Typical" and "Best" racing
    on an Official AWANA Track with a catenary transition... The Track
    Profile follows with the name of the track and its configuration...
    Because a catenary transition model was selected, specifics of the
    catenary transition appear below the character sketch of the track.
    Marks in the track sketch represent the track surface..."

    The problem with the Apple trolls is they have no education so they don't
    know even the most basic of curves, which, let's face it, are important.

    The important aspect of a catenary is the force exerted is uniform with
    respect to length of the catenary curve - which is important to racing.

    Even a moving charge in a uniform electric field travels along a catenary
    such that every part of the catenary is in perfect equilibrium.

    In summary, all the Apple trolls (Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne,
    Chris, Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, et. al) know nothing about anything.

    Not even the shapes everyone learned in their very first Calculus class.

    Just like nobody who owns a motorcycle "drives" it, anyone calling their
    car a "beamer" is instantly recognizable as a poser who knows nothing.

    Which was my point that Alan G. Baker claimed to own a bimmer and to teach racing and yet he doesn't know the very first thing about either topic.
    I only "claim" it, because:

    I do--in fact--own a 2012 BMW 135i,

    and I do--in fact--teach road racing as well as race a 1998 Van Diemen RF98-2 Formula F Honda.

    Worse... it's a fact that those very few Apple iPhones which meet the EU's >> minimum battery life requirements *barely* meet them (which again shows
    Apple's propensity for the absolute minimum required by law for customers).

    And these EU regulators had independent & objective criteria for setting this standard, which was done double-blind to how products performed ...

    ...right?

    The EU specified battery lifetime rules which applied equally to Android
    and to Apple phones - where all known Android phones surpassed those
    minimum lifetime rules - and yet - the iPhone 15 failed initially - but
    Apple literally changed their test standard - and then it passed.

    Fancy that.

    Note we discussed this ad infinitum on this very newsgroup, so I'm not
    telling you anything which isn't already in this newsgroup's archives.

    Only *after* Apple tweaked the testing procedure did the iPhone 15 pass. Nonetheless, it passed. But barely.

    Meanwhile, almost all Androids (if not all Samsung/Google phones, which are
    the vast majority) passed with flying colors - some exceeding TWICE the lifetime (while Apple iPhones, even the latest, barely meet the standard).

    The reason is trivially simple to comprehend.
    Apple puts crappy batteries (in terms of capacity) in iPhones.

    That's just a fact.
    The only people disputing that fact are the ignorant Apple trolls.

    And yet - they are completely ignorant of *everything* about Apple.
    They don't even know about the EU standards & Apple's test proc changes.

    *Who is /that/ stupid?*

    As I've had to explain to the actual adults on this child-like Apple
    newsgroup, you have to treat these Apple trolls like kindergartners.

    They can't find links to Usenet threads that they themselves were on.
    Jesus Christ - *who is _that_ stupid?*

    We already discussed this many times. With links to Apple's own public
    reports saying only the iPhone 15 (and up) meets these new EU standards.

    Not only do none of the Apple trolls (Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Chris, Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, et al.) know anything about Apple, but
    they don't know anything about anything. Sheeesh. Who is *that* stupid?

    None could possibly have earned even a college BA with their low IQs.
    They can't look up publicly *published* information for Christs sake.

    They simply deny everything they don't know - which - is everything!

    Like mentally handicapped IQ 40 people, you can spoon feed the Apple trolls entire threads containing many references to the reports - and they can't
    click on the links (they'll say a reference is just a link - nothing more).

    *Who is _that_ stupid?*

    You can point them to many threads they already participated on, replete
    with links published by Apple & the EU and the news articles - and still - these ignorant low IQ Apple trolls will claim it's just a Usenet thread.

    Again and again, you have to ask: *Who is that incredibly stupid?*
    The Apple trolls don't even remember we discussed this many times!

    Each of these threads has plenty of links to the public references.
    And yet - the Apple trolls are completely ignorant of it - and everything.
