He was a great “natural” soccer player, both to his credit and (later) detriment. Apparently, his pre-match strategy was telling players useless sports tropes, like “you’ve got to go out and bring the match to them.” That was true both with the USMNT and according to a few reports, during his time managing Bayern. You…

So true. 1985 Cutlass Ciera ad: “Computers helped design it, computers help you drive it.”

I was thinking the same thing. In addition to that, I just feel like there isn’t enough of a cast to make a compelling show without more regulars.

The Eugenics Wars were some of the only ironclad dates that we’ve been given in Trek, and they’re obviously a problem considering that we’re now 20 years past that date.

I’ve got a 42" Panasonic plasma that’s about the same age as yours, I’ve also got a newer Sony and a new-ish Hisense TV (another Chinese brand that may be trying to move up its brand image, but was certainly cheap when I got it, though I’m pretty happy with the purchase).

Jesus, the supports for their “extended seating” looks like scaffolding, and I’ve got a general feeling that it’s perfectly safe if every. single. nut. and. bolt. is installed perfectly. Otherwise, collapse.

I’ve got an original Home and a Chromecast Audio. I was having a dinner party a year ago, playing music on the Chromecast Audio via my phone and Google Play Music. I took the dog for a walk, and it killed the music for everyone on the party when Chromecast checked into make sure my phone was nearby.

I had a Voyage which was tragically stolen from me and I got myself the Oasis as a pick-me-up after, and I have to say, if you use your Kindle as much as I do, it’s worth the extra money. Mentally, I justified it by “well, if you get another official leather Origami case for $60, the Voyage isn’t that much more…

Drivers actually can log in to the app and see if/when/where there’s surge in an area. I’ve talked to a lot of rideshare drivers during the ride that say they may decide to drive if there’s surge pricing, but stay in if there’s not.

The problem is she didn’t put in a 100 mile trip into the app; she put in a 7 mile trip then tacked on 93 extra miles after she’d started the ride.

I really thought if you had one ride, your costs were based on the time and cost based on when you got the ride. Updating the destination shouldn’t change the terms of the ride; for that reason, the driver should feel free to say “no thanks” - this driver could have wanted to stop driving in 20 minutes or a half hour,…

In other words, the crappy Android phone I bought in 2010 that had an FM tuner shipped with a more feature-complete software package than a $50k+ car (with options) in 2017.

Isn’t there some rule in many state’ electrical codes limiting you to 20 outlets per circuit? So if you have, say, 4 duplex outlets in your wall that are powered by the same circuit, and you plug this in, you’d be at your maximum? Or does that not apply to extension cords?

Agreed on the deference to the map - I’m not sure if they made it that prominent because it was designed with Autopilot in mind first, and then the rest after, or because the map is just the most visually appealing thing to show when taking a screenshot of the interface (part of my job is doing UX design, and I think…

You’re right, though my understanding is that the Model 3s getting into customers hands are closer to the fully-loaded ones and are more in the ~$55k range than the $35k price we saw bandied about earlier, and for that price, I’d suspect a lot of people are paying for the Autopilot (if it’s not already included).

Did the same thing with the Bears game in Chicago. Yes, I could have streamed it, but I got in the car and was listening to the game within 10 seconds - and I don’t have the station saved as a favorite in my car.

It is really blah, neutral styling - the Model S is what happens when you tell a design student that the hardest challenge is being predictable, because you’ll be in a lot of situations where pushing the envelope isn’t what your employer wants, and then ask them to draw you a generic luxury car.

Watching that video, I was really surprised at how badly it works. The interface, overall, felt laggy and sluggish, which is not what you want form a screen that you’re only supposed to glance at while driving.

A big question in my mind isat the batteries will reach “100%” (not really 100%) charge faster due to less need to slow charge from 80->95% and trickle from 95 if there’s side benefits to software limiting your car to a shorter range, e.g. th-100%, or if the charging regimen will end up in a longer-lasting battery…
