My question made it! Thanks Tom. And the plan is buying in person, as I'm not the widow of a Nigerian royal...

Idk, I feel like having that big of an entourage is kind of douchey. You know every pic would be like, “Me and my apostles levitating at the Grand Canyonnnnn.”

Showering in a semi-flooded cave lit like an ‘80s skating rink, while trading awkwardly stiff smiles with the other people in your shower. Yeah, that doesn’t look relaxing in the least. On the plus side, I believe I now have the perfect example of an asexual’s experience of watching pr0n, “Why is this happening? Is…

Jesus was always pretty hot to me. Come on - who wouldn’t swipe right on a nice Jewish fellow who was into social justice and could make his own wine?

Yes, be specific. I assume you have cheese and vegetables on this sandwich? We need details here. 

‘standing in a library...’ made me snort up my turkey sandwich.

DID I TELL YOU I DRIVE A MERCEDES? IT’S AN AMG AND IT HAS SOMETHING CALLED EMOTION START! MY CAR IS BASICALLY A RACE CAR, BUT NOW I CAN HEAR IT A LITTLE BETTER. DID YOU KNOW THAT MERCEDES HAS WON THE LAST SIX CONSTRUCTOR’S CHAMPIONSHIPS IN FORMULA 1? NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN AMERICA KNOW THAT.

This is probably one of my most favorite articles ever here lol

Tooling is expensive, but it’s not much per vehicle when amortized over a production run. This body is cheaper to make one, but wildly more expensive to make, say 100,000. Every unibody vehicle in production today has stressed panels, and they don’t use 3mm thick stainless. 3mm of stainless is wildly more expensive…

Elon Musk offends the zeitgeist of the 2010's: with Wikipedia and the internet writ large, a person cannot sustain a creation myth of their own making. Additionally, Americans by and large do not tolerate cults of personality. The Cult of Apple, for example, gets the same amount of shit shoveled at it.

Don’t know what the hell you’re whining about.

god, editting tags, and getting the album art right was such a pain in the ass

No joke. I signed up for Spotify free in 2013. A few months later I got one of those ‘try 3 months of premium free’ offers. My usage increased tenfold. Once my premium trial ended, I realized I couldn’t suffer through commercials again. I’ve been paying for it ever since. Thankfully, I was still in school at the time…

I had the same experience. Listened to Pandora when it was brand new and thought it was cool, but I hated the ads and Pandora’s algorithms for similar music were not very nuanced. Spotify’s catalog of music was huge from the start when it came to the US, and the rabbit holes of similar artists were actually worthwhile…

this might be a commercial (?), but it’s a fair evaluation of a service that did a lot to simplify one’s life.

Y’all really out here steaming cuz somebody likes Spotify. There’s a great thing called “Outside” you might be interested in

lol you WISH I got paid to write this

Spotify has truly been life changing for me. I have discovered so much amazing music and having the ability to basically listen to anything I want when I want is worlds better than where we were 10 years ago. I will get rid of many creature comforts before I get rid of spotify.

Its been established they knew that rules were being broken and did nothing. Worse, that they removed policies that were safety oriented. 

yea. I’m not a lawyer but I think they should still be charged with negligance maybe because they knew that disabling certain functions to make the ride smoother and have less false alerts would increase the likely hood of a crash. but thats about it
