  • The pro tip that we had to give out in college for the newcomers to the ballroom team every semester to mitigate body odor (edit: done in exactly this order):

    1. Shower with soap.
    2. Apply deodorant with antiperspirant.
    3. Put on clean clothes.

    You would be surprised how many people in college don’t understand the nuances of these points. Or other basically accepted hygiene practices of the area. For example, cologne or perfume is not “deodorant”. Also, most things are not clean after you wear them (esp if you sweat), and dont become clean again until they are laundered. You may also notice we had to specify “with soap” for a shower.

    The bit about antiperspirant is not strictly necessary, but nobody wants to put their hand near or accidentally in a sweaty pit.




  • So fucking true. After 5 years in a model 3, anything else is just too cluttered and full of junk.

    I will say though I wish there was a console selection wheel that you can spin or push or click to supplement the touch screen. It’s too ridiculous to have to try to touch while driving for both the danger aspect and also the aggravation of the bumpy road making it difficult.

    The climate controls are great and the selector wheels in the steering wheel are a master work. It’s too bad Elon is a piece of shit and the car itself is not exactly the pinnacle of quality construction.


  • I guess I’ll be alone in saying I don’t want a bmw cockpit with a button for every feature of the vehicle.

    I like the rocking, turning console selection wheel Audi does, and I like the two wheels that also click forward and back on the steering wheel that Tesla does (and also gear stalks with buttons on the end). The only other thing that should maybe be a knob or button is climate temp or blower speed, but that is nicer when it’s adaptive like a thermostat.

    Minimal interface for me please, just don’t force me to touch navigate the touch screen while I’m driving.
