- lesuorac 3y agoI guess that's just in line with "Full Self Driving". All of yourself needs to do the driving in your stain less vehicle.
- aaronbrethorst 3y agoIt’s called the “No Homers” club, we’re allowed to have one.
- JR1427 3y agoSuch a great line!
- JR1427 3y agoI wonder why this innocuous light-hearted comment in appreciation of someone else's joke is getting downvoted? I don't think I'll ever understand why people downvote on HN...
- mrguyorama 3y agoIt's pointless noise. Twenty other readers likely also laughed to themselves about the line, upvoted and moved on. The commenter will know if their joke was appreciated with upvotes. Nobody needed an extra comment from the peanut gallery. HN polices noise very hard, because the alternative is half the site is just the first comment thread from reddit that continuously circle jerks the same damn jokes.
- ChuffedToBits 3y agoPeople read sarcasm into the comment and/or didn't get the reference? It's a mystery. Anyway, here's the clip: https://youtube.com/watch?v=W7rSYzbpA8k https://youtube.com/watch?v=W7rSYzbpA8k
- tanseydavid 3y agoIf they wrote it "stain-less" then I would have the correct notion. But the spelling "stainless" makes me think of words such as "peerless".
- EE84M3i 3y agoYeah, homeless, fearless, childless, hopeless, endless - all mean "without X" not "less of X"
- JR1427 3y agoI didn't mean that it "staining less" is the correct formal definition, only that thinking of it as "stain less" rather than "stainless" is a more useful definition to keep in mind, as all steel will stain eventually the right conditions.
- danudey 3y agoMaybe they should call it stain-fewer, since you're gonna get fewer stains but not no stains.
- DANmode 3y agoMany "touch less" carwashes operating this way.
