Gee, I wish more companies would actually be like this:

Instead of the easy numbers… http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2017/07/instead-of-the-easy-numbers.html

Today we installed an over-the-range microwave that we had special ordered from Lowe’s almost a month prior. Most of the time was waiting for it to arrive. We really wanted a unit that had a mute button. Why must microwaves beep incessantly? (Plus don’t get me started on the awful UI. Can’t GE hire a UI/UX Engineer to fix the damn interfaces on these things?!)

So for the second time, Comcast said they wouldn’t run fiber to my house. But I did get a DOCSIS 3.1 modem. Here are the preliminary results:

Can the AP colossally fuck up the facts any worse than it has? Their story says:

Tesla says its keenly awaited Model 3 car for the masses will go on sale on Friday.

For some this is not reality

But it is mine

And for that it is all of yours.

Why would someone choose the Model 3 over the Chevy Bolt? The Bolt is available now (at least on the West Coast) and has a 200+ mile range. Again, it comes down to these few but critically important differences for me.
