  • Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed.

    I like how the article delivered that fact in a way that focuses on their inadequacy while highlighting their existence. It’s like "we know they had a backup option, so shut up. They still weren’t good enough to be available for the emergency when they’re hidden behind shit.

    If I put a half-wall up in my house in front of a visible window that can be used as emergency egress, I’m in shit. This hidden latch is no better.

    I cannot. I have seen the family car twice since she traded in our old one to get this one - it’s been a year - and ridden in it once for an IKEA+Starbucks white-kid Sunday fun day.

    I cannot abandon it for I cannot prove she hasn’t abandoned me and taken it with her. Every night is a mixture of relief and joy as she steps out of the elevator, as it means she’s back; and she’s also gorgeous so there’s that too.

    Oh shit. Me and the family dog have too much in common.

    So anyway, I can’t comply with this imperative. If you added an article it wouldn’t sound like Phil Hartman’s SNL lawyer character.

    Zoom works for video. I test it a few times a week for a few hours with a few contacts each time.

    And a few beer.

    It’s a vPub most of the time with some tech thrown in.

    I hate to say it, but FB Messenger is reliable for me too : starts well, sounds good, video’s clean, ends cleanly . I need to remind mom how to start that call when it’s with her on her old portal unit, but yeah. Cambridge is the worst thing to happen to good products like M and Portal.
