Jerry has one of the worst cases of TDS (Tesla Derangement Syndrome). In his video he applies 10,000 lbs of downward force directly on the hitch point before it breaks, and then says that it "is far too close to the 11,000 pound towing capacity. Yikes." He's a smart guy, he knows downward pressure at the hitch point (tongue weight) is a much different rating than towing capacity. Tongue weight is usually estimated at 10-15% of towing capacity, so 1100-1650 lbs. The cybertruck clearly exceeded expectations here.

That’s a lot of text for you to not realize these are the exact lateral forces a hitch faces when towing. One pothole and your payload is causing a pileup

He explained why you're wrong in the video that you just proved you did not watch.

I was really into it in my early 20's. One way to tell if you are mentally in the state to lucid dream is if you no longer feel tired. One night, after a grueling hike, I was completely exhausted when I went to bed. I closed my eyes, and moments later all my exhaustion just vanished, and I began to explore the space.

Another way is to try to see what the clock faces say in your dream. Also, see if the light switches behave as you would expect.

Now that's dystopian!

Top performers manufacture 33% more hours in the day thanks to this one weird trick!

This. I'm not a fan of expanding links, like when a user hovers over a small button with an icon, and it expands to reveal the full button name, but the content around it (like other buttons) shift because of the size change.

Yeah, super annoying when that happens. A workaround is to click the address bar (or press ctrl+l unless that's been hijacked too) and then do ctrl+f.


> There we had less than 10 people

In Iceland, 10 people is a huge crowd.


Not at the tourist sites. They are quite crowded once the busses come in .


I always thought this was funny. We were taught this in grad school, but hardly anybody followed this guideline. "If there's too much text on the slide, the audience will be busy reading the slide, and not paying attention to you". I try to have just the main point on the slide, then I can talk around it. The details should be in the slide notes, if you need reminders.


"If parents consent [...] we collect [...] serial number and battery level [...] who called and call time and length [...] and Voicemails (messages and greetings)"

If you're going to get this product, make sure you pay attention when you set it up, and opt out if you are privacy minded.


I guess it all depends on the type of women you're trying to attract. I'm married and have kids, so old worn out logo t-shirts and cargo shorts sound nice and comfortable to me, in most everyday situations. I'll dress appropriate for the circumstance.


That's what CTRL+MouseWheel is for
