Honestly. I'd be fine with a touchscreen for things you wouldn't likely be adjusting on the go anyways - but basic stuff like the radio and AC/Fans should always be easy to distinguish, don't need to look away from the road to operate buttons. Making basic stuff require touchscreen is inconvenient at best and outright dangerous at worst.

Bloodletting is actually still used to treat some diseases - for example it is the primary way to treat Haemochromatosis. Until recently, in the UK at least, people with this condition couldn't donate blood, so it was just thrown away like back then too - though more recently they started allowing donations to help treat hospitalised anaemia.

Anon discovers that life often isn't all that fair...

Being smart and hardworking can bolster your odds, but your lot in life really boils down to how lucky you are, and how well equipped you are to capitalise on that luck.

Unfortunately the right combination of extreme luckiness and ability to capitalise on it doesn't come up all that often, so most people simply won't ever get that lucky break.

When you consider that left leaning folk are more likely to lean into voting apathy that the right-wing, the DNC were fools to assume they had all the left-wing votes in the bag without actually doing anything to appeal to them.

For Christ's sake, Harris got in because people wanted change over Biden, her campaign was for change, yet the first thing she says is she doesn't plan to do anything different to Biden - and if that's not a momentum killer, I don't know what is.

Damn, I'd be salty too if I'd been fined just for having an expandable suitcase.

That gate operaror was daft - why the hell would anyone bother to go through the entire process up to the point of boarding with the case unexpanded, just to expand it on the flight so it wouldn't fit into the cabin??

The only shame (for me at least) is that this is a VR title, so I won't be able to play it despite being hungry for another Metro game since finishing Exodus

Oppressing fascists and their ideologies is a price I'm more than willing to pay to keep freedom for everyone else

I don't blame people in the US for believing that, when more than half your population (who actually voted) decided to vote Trump in (again).

Like the guy is unironically a treasonous criminal con-man so obviously under Russia's (or more specifically Putin's) influence it's laughable.

Yeah... It's not like anything Trump does will influence the right-wing of Europe and bring hell to the rest of us, right guys? /s

The people that refused to vote entirely on the basis of the Gaza have effectively shot themselves, and everyone else, in the foot.

There was never a real choice to stop Israel on the ballet, but now with Trump in office, even deescalation is off the cards.

It must be great for these folks to be able to wash their hands of it like Ponchus Pilot, whilst Trump gives Israel the go-ahead to annhilate the people of Gaza.

Honestly, the problem here is that even if these folks do suffer under Trump, they'd find a way to blame someone else.

A lot of these people are so indoctrinated they'll never accept their leader could be the one hurting them
