@clacke @bcallah @raye Given that I _very_ much didn't feel that, would you say which songs particularly felt "Miranda-esque" to you?

I haven't seen In The Heights, but I've heard one of the songs and it is peak Miranda :)

So I've had this growing issue with Lin-Manuel Miranda's work where it feels like it's all got the same musical patterns.

Like "How Far I'll Go" in Moana feels like it could be a song in Hamilton if you changed the words - it's like the *pattern* feels similar. Can you tell I have no musical background?

And I've heard people complain about him for the same reason, his 'tone'.

I couldn't tell Encanto was written by him. It was *really* good, but it didn't have the same 'patterns'

@rysiek I realised this may have seemed a bit out of left field, but

Cars just don't come out of nowhere like Tesla think they do, and Tesla keep making mistakes that are generally solved in industry, exactly like this

We've had the "handles don't open and firemen can't pull people out the car", we've had "handles auto open at low speeds with enough force to open the rear doors", we've had "the central battery isn't accessible if the car doesn't have power". It's just mistake after mistake

@rysiek so the other day I learned that truck brakes work differently to car brakes.

Truck brakes are always on, and turn off when the truck is engaged. The default position they're trying to get back to mechanically is full braking.

That means whatever happens, any fault, it'll stop immediately. It's a hard won lesson in car mechanics designed to make people safe, and it's common across the industry because they learn from others

And it feels like Tesla refuses to learn from anyone else

Tesla also had to stop drivers from turning on autopilot and playing videogames using the Tesla.

This is worth adding alone

"For Model S vehicles, front hood latch problems may lead a trunk to open "without warning and obstruct the driver’s visibility, increasing the risk of a crash," Tesla said."

@rysiek It's almost too easy to dunk on Tesla more, but

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-recalls-over-475000-electric-vehicles-2021-12-30/

"total number of recalled vehicles is almost equivalent to the half a million vehicles Tesla delivered last year."

@vfrmedia Given that many other car brands have similar standing in the self-driving features, it feels like Tesla is just better-advertised but worse than other brands

@wxcafe I was gonna say the price difference, but a EOS M50 is the same rough price bracket as a 1200D I've been shooting with for ever, and it's almost strictly better

@wxcafe I'm agreeing with you - I'm saying that the mirrorless offering is outperforming the DSLR offering in the same price bracket.
