Open post Jay @jaytorres@mastodon.social · 5mo ago Replying to @caseyliss@mastodon.social “Tesla Cybertruck. The automotive equivalent of a YouTube thumbnail.” “You design this for people whose lineage continues _in spite_ of their personality, not _because_ of it.” Regular Car Reviews is… an acquired taste. I love it, but I get why one may hate it. Anyway, this was cathartic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3oO510dyVI @caseyliss This car is such an utter failure. If Tesla made a minivan, or a wagon, it'd be a game changer. But since elon has such a fragile ego, he couldn't bear to make a family car. He had to make this monstrosity.
Open post Jay @jaytorres@mastodon.social · 5mo ago Replying to @lexfri@hachyderm.io John asked Lauren if she ever watched TV while on the treadmill. Lauren said she had binged all of Friends on the treadmill, and took pride on that. John said, "So no one told you life was gonna be this way?" And I said: "Could you BE taking more steps?" John said "Well, that was a better joke than mine." Then he referenced it several more times in mock annoyance that I'd outjoked his joke. 😂 @lexfri@hachyderm.io That is always my go to Friends reference. "Could you BE insert-activity-here"

Open post Jay @jaytorres@mastodon.social · 6mo ago Replying to @NateBarham@wandering.shop @gruber Thanks for the mention! I’ve been using that method for a while now. It took some time to build the muscle memory, but it’s second nature at this point. Glad it was helpful. 🙂 @NateBarham @gruber Never knew that! Only helps if you actually keep the App Store on a home screen though. I search for the App Store.
