  • Yeah the turn signal switches do not appear to be a good change, nor the swipe to switch it it into gear, but I expect it to be a minor annoyance rather than a deal breaker.

    The new Model 3 looks better, rides smoother, is more efficient, and is quieter: that seems like a big deal. I also like that the back seat has hvac controls and weren’t the front seats ventilated?

    I haven’t sat in a model 3 since they first came out- I didn’t want to because I didn’t want emotion to overcome my choice of spending money. At the time, both that and the model S had an awkward door and pillar, making access a little frustrating to those of us who are both tall and have bad knees. Model Y was the clear choice for my knees

    They help make our cars unreasonably large, all in the name of inclusion. It’s another case of DEI run amuck.

    We could solve global warming by shrinking our cars, our houses, our office buildings, if not for the tyranny of tall men



  • I work in an industry known for frequent large layoffs, so I’m making the connection that many former employees take it personally and say things out of spite. I’m not entirely taking the operators word for it, since he clearly has a reason to be pissed off. As I said though: easy to believe

    Yeah, it’s tough here because all wars, especially this one, are so horrible. I do feel sorry for those caught up in it and who suffer the consequences, and I know most Russians are not there entirely willingly. Still, Russia is the perpetrator, they are the cause of this suffering, death, and destruction, and this soldier was clearly participating. He is part of the problem so better him than his intended victims

    also: everyone who genuinely thinks

    One of the reasons that was fun was that it was always a joke, usually presented in the negative so it’s technically true “JD Vance denies fucking a couch”. Right from the beginning, it was presented as a joke gone viral.

    Were there genuine believers?

    Just like everything in the Trump era, that KGB agent would fail miserably because why would something so ridiculous work? The most significant lasting legacy of Maga-politics will be the death of comedy, because who would write something so extreme? No one would believe it



  • That’s one of the many things I don’t get. How did he get elected the first time, how could anyone have voted for someone with a long history of stuffing contractors? Bankruptcies? Questionable tax practices? This guy came in as a well known real estate developer fraud who ripped people off: individuals, small businesses, irs, etc, for decades. How did this ever fly in the first place?




  • I’d never justify that urge to spend ridiculous money updating every year to the latest and greatest, but people tend to under appreciate the massive improvements from accumulated incremental improvements.

    OLED screen on my iPhone X was revolutionary (and I’m sure Android had it first), as just one example, and now most phones are. Personally I find ultrawideband and “find my” very innovative and well implemented. Or if that’s too small a change, how about the entire revolution of Apple designing their own SoC for every new model. There’s emergency satellite texting, fall/crash detection, even Apple mostly solving phone theft is innovative (even if you don’t like their approach)

    When we see steady improvements, humans tend to under-appreciate how it adds up
