    - It's not even a story except that it's a Tesla and omitting the "driver" from the headline was a choice. - TWuG Mar 31, 11:49 2
      - Above-average vehicle weight and speed characteristics also play into it, but really, it's only called out for novelty. - Beryllium Mar 31, 11:51
      - IOW, the headline was written to give the impression the car, not the driver, was at fault. An impression that is often used in Tesla news stories. -- nm - TWuG Mar 31, 11:51

        I've considered putting it angled where the clock is but then I'd think you'd want any kind of seating/couch to be in front of the windows which I'm - oblique Mar 31, 10:56
      - Just put the tv in another room. -- nm - spamlet Mar 31, 10:53 3

As you may have guessed from yesterday, I'm teaching about the eye currently. I set up an eye chart and - Reagen Mar 31, 08:27 9
- My eyes have been different most of my life. Corrective contacts when I was a teen set them right for a time. -- nm - Spawn Mar 31, 08:34

- It's in the same category of Last Action Hero where audiences punished stars for trying something different. - Reagen Mar 31, 08:15 7
  - But also, both movies were inflated way beyond what they needed to be and marketed like standard action vehicles. - Roger More Mar 31, 08:36 1
