The Cybertruck also does the tightest turns because it has front and back wheel steering. I could imagine that to be useful on job sites.

The kinds of people buying cybertrucks aren't going to be caught dead on a job site.

That's not true. Boss likes being flashy. You won't see them being used for actual work, but that's a different proposition.

2002 GMC Sierras did this, it was called quadrasteer

As did some models of Honda Prelude starting in '87.

whoa I was not aware of this, super cool

There is a certain subset of Tesla owners who have this belief that features in certain Tesla vehicles are completely novel to Teslas and other auto manufacturers haven't even considered them. They can often be identified by how they refer to them as "dinosaurs".

Adjustable ride height? Miraculous. Meanwhile my car is mapping the road surface, actively leaning into corners and following road camber, actively avoiding potholes, and adjusting the suspension, including ride height, constantly.

Traffic Sign Recognition, including recognizing school zones, and recognizing active school zones.

Adaptive blind spot - so nice. Speed differential low, or you're going faster? Will not activate, or only activate last moment. But if someone is blowing by you in the HOV lane, it will warn of them when they're still several hundred feet back.

Laser headlights. Matrix headlights. Night vision with thermal imaging.

Predictive active suspension - The car actively scans the road ahead with sensors and it will adjust suspension for poorer road conditions.

The car can not just stop, but will actively swerve, if safe, around obstructions to avoid a collision, or even a parked car opening a door into traffic.


A full-size Ford Transit - which is much larger than a Cybertruck, and much more useful - turns in about an 11-metre kerb-to-kerb circle.

That's fully a metre and a half tighter than the Cybertruck.


In my opinion it isn't useful at all because if the only thing you can get into a spot is a vehicle with 4-wheel steering, you have already fucked up your site planning. You aren't going to be delivering materials with that thing, bulk materials are too heavy and light materials are too large. Maybe tools, but it isn't that large to be a tool truck and too expensive for small handyman type work.

There are many situations that are not proper job sites. All sorts of rural situations that require turning.

No it doesn't. A regular Suburban without 4 wheel steering still has a tighter turning radius. A fucking Suburban!

Not really, sites are pretty much always spaced out. Ironically, it’s best for city and daily driving - it’s a pure luxury feature.

It would be amazing in the city if it weren't two lanes wide.

It's the same width as an F150

Tbf F150s also suck in the city lol

Its not amazing in the city. The turning radius on the cybertruck is atrocious. Go look it up and quit believing the marketing bullshit.


It's great, maybe stop looking it up and go drive one?

A Suburban without 4 wheel steering has a tighter turning radius. It's pathetic that something with 4 wheel steering can't outdo a Suburban.

And why would I want to drive one? I have literally no reason to drive that waste of batteries.


The audiobook Spark by Dr. John Ratey, psychiatrist is a great listen with a bunch more evidence based arguments to support that exercise is better then drugs for depression.

I highly recommend the audiobook as it is read by him and he is very enthusiastic about his research.

The one quote I remember from the book is that he stopped prescribing Prozac and started prescribing treadmills...


I did a summary here: https://www.chestergrant.com/highlights-from-spark-how-exerc...

It's in my top 15 books that changed my worldview.

Some key highlights:

1. In 2001 fit kids scored twice as well on academic tests as their unfit peers.

2. German researchers found that people learn vocabulary words 20 percent faster following exercise than they did before exercise, and that the rate of learning correlated directly with levels of BDNF.

3.Specifically, every fifty minutes of weekly exercise correlated to a 50 percent drop in the odds of being depressed.


For those starting out, I recommend going into settings and only choosing the key of C major, which is all the white keys. Then advance onto more keys after that.

Love this!!

One improvement that would help me a lot is to control the playback speed. My brain needs to start a bit slower as some of the sequences are fairly fast for my brain right now.

Thank you


Derp - I didn't even think about adding a control for min/max tempo ranges.

The defaults are currently

- Simon is set to 100-120 BPM

- Practice mode is set to 90-160 BPM

I'll add it to the Settings later this evening. Thanks for the feedback!


Great, thank you!

So true thanks for saying this. Seems like a missed opportunity, and definitely suspect of lobbying by the meat industry.

And of course broccoli and legumes doesn't have a lobby group, do they?


Big Broccoli even rolls off the tongue, time to start it!

This has way too much emphasis on meat. Watch Secrets of the Blue Zones on Netflix, and Gamechangers. We can get most of not all our protein from whole plant foods. And plant foods have a ton of phytonutrients that are proven to protect against certain cancerous.

We need to eat real plant food.

Protip for a brain reset - right click on current tab - click close other tabs

The beauty here is that if you are at risk of losing anything, in a form that is not yet submitted, then the browser will pop up a prompt saying are you sure you want to close, you will lose data. So there is no risk of losing something you can't get back.

Then, after they are all closed, as needed, I just type in the browser bar the names of the tabs and it searches history and suggests previously closed tabs, then up/down arrow, then enter.

I do this frequently and it really helps my brain.


Second protip - the tab manager search is really useful, it will list out currently open and previously closed tabs for scanning, with a search feature. So searching open tabs is really fast, on Mac it is cmd + chift + a (think tAb).
