I've got a ID4 and they are all capacitive buttons. It makes a tactile vibration when engaged.

I hate my car. Nice to drive, but awful to use.

I love Venn diagrams, because venn means friend in my language

Yes, it's important to defend the only thing you know, even how bad it might be. 😄

Yes I know, but the voting system favours the two largest. Thats why they are large. Small parties have 0% chance og getting representatives into the houses, so they are basically irrelevant.

I understand what you are trying to say. Ultimately, there are only two to vote for. Ideally, there should be more than two parties, and more than two candidates. That's how democracies work. What you have is a dysfunctional system that divides people in two groups, and there are no incentives to cooperate between parties. Proper voting is also suffering due to the two-party system.

In my country, the parties with the majority of votes and the ability to cooperate gets to form a government. We also try to make it easy to get people to vote, insted of your system of gerrymandering.

I didn't vote in the primary, because I'm not American.

It amazes me that one of the largest countries in the world, with the most diverse demographics, can only chose between two candidates. This is not democracy. It's a shit show that has been going on for far too long.

I had the HTC Desire Z back in the day, with a full qwerty keyboard underneath the screen. It was awesome to write on, but it lacked performance.

Android: "Check out all these options. You can customise it just as you'd like"

Apple: "Check it out! This is the best user interface ever. No need for customisation"

I've heard somewhere that dog's genes are more tolerant to mutations than cats, and that's why there are more diversity of dog breeds. A cat offspring with a mutation would just die in the womb or soon after birth, while dogs with a similar "defect" would live. I don't have a source, but it seems plausible to me.
