I have a Model S and a Model 3, and I actually prefer the 3 (though I generally prefer sportier cars to luxury cars). The smaller size makes it more nimble, the lack of air suspension gives better road feel, the horizontal orientation of th

I've got a Model 3 and a Model S. It took me about a week to get used to the central placement of the sole Model 3 screen and lack of a dashboard, but now I prefer it. The dashboard is always in my eye line yet frustrating blocked by t

Pandemic [0] is a fantastic co-op game with a relevant-to-the-times theme. If you like the base game, then consider Pandemic Legacy [1], which is probably the best board game I've ever played. And if you just want some chaotic fun, Mag
