This is a video of a seal getting startled.
The human recording seems tedious, but I love the video nonetheless.
Reminiscent of an old Windows screensaver.
I met my wife on IRC. She made the mistake of saying I was cute (I wasn’t and am not). We referenced it in our wedding vows.
15 years later, we’re married with a kid. She hasn’t realized, or at least acknowledged, her mistake yet. At least she doesn’t use IRC anymore, so I don’t have to worry about some other nerd stealing her from me.
I call my toddler “Little Bean” as a term of endearment (well predating my knowledge of lemmy, let alone this trend). I just showed this picture to my wife and said it was a representation of our toddler when they’re an adult.
My wife rolled her eyes at me.
edit: Clarification.
It’s fine if you are and fine if you aren’t, but this message kinda seems to contrast with your other posts in this thread.
In this very comment you said “having a weird hobby.” There’s nothing wrong with having a weird hobby, but it’s not normal.
None of my favorite people are “normal.” So long as their hobbies don’t cause harm to anyone, that’s fine.
My feelings toward furries are entirely neutral and I don’t support the claim that normality is a positive automatically.
That said, I disagree with your claim.
I agree. My intent is not to defend the design, only to explain that the car does not physically prevent you from opening the doors. If it did, I doubt it could legally have gone to market, though I’ve been disappointed before.
In the case of my car, it’s actually primarily for my wife. She has a cricut and printed out stickers indicating the various hidden ways to interact with the car.
Also, in my experience, almost every adult who has tried to open the door from within has asked what would happen if the battery died, so after their first time exiting they theoretically know how to exit in an emergency.
Not a good design or UX - Tesla is way too obsessed with minimalism - but not automatically a casket.
I have many objections to Musk and Tesla, but I bought a used Model 3 before learning about all the insanity. The doors are designed to open with power, it’s true; this is because they were built without a top frame, apparently to reduce weight, so the powered button lowers the window as the door opens to avoid damaging the glass.
However, there is an emergency lever (that would be easy to miss for sure) that just mechanically opens the door with no need for power. I have used this once to make sure it works and can confirm it exists and functions. Presumably, this is true of the Model Y as well; I can’t imagine that a vehicle could pass any kind of inspection if there were no way to get out without power.
Sorry for any confusion - it’s genuinely awesome that you guys connected. Just the usernames were funny to me.
I would love to find a relatively local friend on lemmy.
It’s a good day when a Texas drunk recognizes the contributions of the fartographer (a moniker my phone tried desperately to avoid).
This exists now in the US at Target. I liked them, actually.
Is that typical?
This isn’t exactly 100% relevant to your story, but it is related and an anecdote I enjoy sharing.
I recently moved to a small town and hired an electrician to make some changes to my house. After showing him around the house, we went to look at the fuse box to determine what changes could be made.
As we were looking, he said “I know those fuses are original.” When I asked how, he pointed at the labels and said “because that’s my father’s handwriting.”
Kinda cool to have a legacy like that. The electrician did do good work, so far as I can tell, so it was likely earned as well.
When I was a kid, I would read (among other things) X-Men novels. Wolverine wasn’t as popular of a character back then, but he frequently featured prominently. A common descriptor for his character was “barrel chested.”
I never really knew what that meant before.
That seems plausible. Thank you.
I still want to know what a Dragula is.
Wow, Canada to Alderaan is quite a move.
That’s fair enough. Hope you’re enjoying your scrolling!
