If you have the space and don't rent, then yes.


I went to share results with coworkers and came to the same realization you did.



> No one ever says there are so many shirts out there let's not design another one...

Perhaps not, but many should.


Impressive. Keep it up!

Judging by this and the word 'customisable', I'd wager the author is outside the US where these spellings are a bit common.


Thank you for correcting me. I'm indeed not a native english speaker.


Inside the US, "loose" as a typo of "lose" is common too, but inside or outside it's still wrong.


Never stated which is correct or not.


>People don't get a free pass on being creeps just because they are blowing a lot of money anymore

The man wants his car designs to evoke an image of being sexy and you consider him a creep? That's a way over-dramatic interpretation.


Yes, if you overtly sexualize something for which there is no real reason to take the conversation in that direction then you are very likely a creep. They could have been cool cars but I just don't like that.

Incidentally I was responding the comment that mentioned there is a lot of hate for Tesla. What I mostly don't like about Tesla, aside from that stupid naming convention, is that they missed all of their manufacturing targets and are about to hit a brick wall with investors, regardless of how "sexy" one thinks the car design is.


I don't know where you are from, but it worth remembering that the use of the term "sexy" is much more commonplace for inanimate objects and has different connotations in the English speaking world outside the United States. And the CEO of the company in question was raised outside the US.


I think this is true even in the US, at least as far as my American English takes me.


I think that you're misinterpreting this easter egg. It's meant to be clever joke, if you're trying to find something creepy in that, it's on you.


"Sexy" has long been used to describe something visually attractive, not remotely related to sex. Here's Jonathan Ive talking about sexy computers: https://blog.kissmetrics.com/sexy-design/. Do you think they're actually sexually attracted to these machines? Or implying other people will be? I think you need to revise your word connotations.


I stand by my percolator. I love it but you can easily 'burn' the coffee.


Coming from someone who's not very familiar with classical music and who signed up to start getting into it...

Why am I forced to 'star' 5 composers and 5 works upon registration? I recognized a most of the top ~10 composers but I'm sure most people will just click the top 5 and move on which really defeats the purpose doesn't it?

And then once I'm at the homepage, I don't immediately see where I can review / change my stars.


Hi timmonsjg, the welcome page has 2 main purposes:

1. you see posts on your homepage feed of composers you followed (of course you can see all other posts without leacving the feed but only posts related to your followed composers are loaded by default)

2. Get work recommendations based on your followed composers and starred works.

You are right that it sucks if you know little about classical music. A skip button will be added soon.


A short optional sample of every composers and songs would be nice, just to get an idea of the music. I can't remember music in my head (kind of Aphantasia for music), so it's really hard for me to choose just from the list.


This is a great idea tbh, most people actually know far more classical music than they think they do - but they couldn't tell you the name of a piece or its composer for the life of them.


you could at least populate the list of works from the composers we chose on the first screen.

i didn't pick any of the top 5 composers, and yet the works were largely from them. the 3 composers i was actually interested in don't appear anywhere on the list of works i get to choose from. :(
