¶There’s value in television that’s just…on. Always. It might be a generational thing, but we like having the tv on even when we’re not focused on a particular show. Background noise, I guess. We’ve watched the Harry Potter movies that way several times over the years, catching random bits here and there. And that’s not to mention Golden Girls, Fraser, Friends, and other series we ‘watch’ as we fall asleep at night. It’s interesting, and a little funny, to see a streaming service recognize this.

¶I’m no car designer, but the design for the accelerator on the Tesla Truck appears to be astonishingly bad. First, it’s a bit janky, apparently with a cover that slides over the main structural element of the pedal. Maybe that’s standard, but it feels a bit cheap. More importantly, though, the cover can slide forward on the pedal, wedging itself in the carpet and effectively locking the accelerator on the floor. That’s a problem.
¶“Pedal to the metal”? More like “metal off the pedal.”
