You’re right, and it’s clear that Tesla’s version is unsafe and needs to be set differently. As for the second part of your statement, if that’s true it’s a dangerous design flaw that needs to be corrected before someone is seriously injured or killed. 

You’re right, it doesn’t mean it was going to crush the kid’s head. It appears there was a chance of the kid getting stuck, which could lead to suffocation or simply a traumatic experience. None of those things are acceptable. 

You should not have to get stuck first before it realizes there is an obstruction. I have a Chevy Equinox with a power liftgate. When it is closing it is very responsive to anything that provides the least bit of resistance, and it then reverses and opens partway. The way the Tesla door appears to work looks like a…

Maybe don’t encourage people to continue collecting (most likely) useless plastic items.

Well one of them is my father, we need two more. 

I suspect that I’m among maybe 5 people on the planet who are excited that both this game and the new Rolling Stones album are releasing on the same day. 

Oh man, I got caught being “that guy”. I swear I’m not usually that guy. I saw the article, got excited, googled bent deflector, and came back here to comment without reading more. I still don’t know that a vent deflector is long enough to solve the issue with furniture in front of a wall vent. I thought their…

I’m an old Millennial born in ‘83. I held onto cable longer than many in my age group, I think I cancelled it about 4 years ago. I’m saying this to make it clear that I was also very used to commercials. I can’t stand them ever since I switched primarily to streaming. They don’t really bother me when I have something…

These are neat and now I’m looking to see if something similar exists for wall vents, as the problem areas in my house have vents on the walls. One is under my son’s loft bed. I’m wondering if it would work to rig one of the floor ones up so that it diverts the air up the wall and over his bed.  

I wish I had been paying more attention and had known about this before I got my Moderna booster last week. I can’t even recall how many shots I’ve had at this point, but it’s the amount recommended for someone in my age group. The booster I received about a year ago was the only time I got a covid shot with no…

I graduated high school in ‘01 and college in ‘05, mention of those earlier Adult Swim shows such as Space Ghost and Sea Lab really hit at a special place in my memories. They were weird in a way that didn’t feel like they were trying too hard, and I spent a lot of late nights watching them at the time. I also recall…

I mean I’m a 40 year old parent, the only thing that is going to get me into Detroit is an event. My days of going out to bars just for the sake of it are behind me. My observation stands, that downtown is dead, even after an event. This wouldn’t be the case in a city on the rise. A city on the rise wouldn’t also…

Not sure what you mean by truly spending time downtown, but the last time I hung out down there was for a concert about a year and a half ago. We had a hotel room downtown and walked to/from. Walked from around the Ren Cen to The Fillmore, and it was more or less deserted both ways. There was also a major concert…

I’m 40 and my BP is better than it has been for my entire adult life. This can be attributed to following a better diet over the past couple of years. My BP at a recent appointment was 100/60. For most of my 30’s it usually came in around 135/70. 

I agree on the aspect ratio/cropping issue. It’s annoying to me without a doubt, but not enough that I choose to watch it in SD. Ripping, plex and all of that is above my IT pay grade. 

I inherited a high-quality one along with a pretty nice receiver and a nice set of Bose bookshelf speakers from my grandpa about 15 years ago. If not for that I probably never would have either. My grandfather actually had pretty varied taste in music, so I also took some of his records that I enjoy as kind of a…

I’m the same as you for reasons similar to what you list. For music I’m the guy who still buys CDs and rips them to my computer, and then my phone. My 100% preferred option is buying vinyl that comes with a digital download, but this isn’t as widespread as I would like. I do sometimes buy albums via iTunes, I see that…

I also use salted butter for everything, including baking. I realize it might throw off the salt level the recipe intended, but I definitely do not hate a little extra salt, so it’s always been fine by me. I’ll note that I have good blood pressure, so I don’t see it being a concern. 

One thing I would say is carefully choose your instant-read meat thermometer if you do a lot of grilling in a non-shaded area. I “upgraded” from a Weber-branded thermometer to the ThermoPro TP620. It works great as a thermometer, but the display is incredibly difficult to read in direct sunlight. The ThermoPro is…
