On a related note, it’s long been a dream of mine to “download a car” by 3D scanning a nice 1:18 model of something exotic (like a Ferrari 250 Berlinetta Lusso or BMW 507), pay a company to create a full size model by milling it out of a huge block of foam with a huge 5-axis CNC machine, cast fiber glass molds of the body panels, build a spaceframe chassis underneath, fit the rear subframe of a Tesla, and the front axle of a Miata, and live forever in glory.

4·1 year agoEric Andre says he finds brushing his hair is too time consuming, when asked about it by Larry King. https://youtu.be/7XR4Ml8FijM (11:45)
This question by Larry to Eric about his hair is mentioned in Eric’s interview with Talib Kweli. https://youtu.be/irzhJ4mLMF0 (28:36)
If you’re an Eric Andre fan, these are both must-watch interviews.

Hell yes. High performance engineering is beautiful and fascinating in its own way, but making genuinely simple, durable, reliable, economical cars also requires that spark of human creativity and ingenuity. It’s a warm and reassuring feeling to know the car is your trusty steed and will always start and do what you need it to do. A lighter car with more simple direct mechanical connections through the controls feels fun and engaging to me. Although I haven’t driven that many newer econoboxes, a few of my favorite older ones:
- Ford Focus
- Honda Fit/Jazz
- Ford Ka
- Nissan March/Micra
- Honda Civic
- Original Mini
- Toyota Prius

This is my first comment. I haven’t experienced any bugs or lag yet. It all seems pretty cool to me.
I can’t profess to know a lot about websites/apps. But I am aware that suddenly having large influxes of users can complicate things, in terms of having to migrate to more powerful hardware, or incorporate load balancers, change to a different type of database, and other architecture changes. It’s complicated stuff, even for corporate engineering teams with a lot of resources. IDK who runs this and what exactly the financial structure is, but it appears to be run by volunteers? I personally have patience and sympathies for these people and will reserve judgement for a while.
Can confirm
