Let me guess, you push the 'safety' nonsense so you feel better about driving slower than traffic, in the left lane, with your nose in your phone.
Or at best, an annoyingly chatty passenger. Obviously not a car guy.
I'm in tech, have been my whole life. I LOVE gadgets. I LOVE technology. But I also LOVE cars. Shoving ever more tech gadgetry into cars makes them undeniably worse. Don't misunderstand, there's a lot to be said for actual tech, like seat belt pre-tensioners, variable impact airbags, anti-lock braking and active handling assist. Those have saved countless lives. Closed loop engine controls, electronic ignition and the like have made engines run clean, efficient, and reliable. But these advances also share one absolutely crucial aspect - they stay out of your way, quietly minding their own business except where they are needed.
The best controls in vehicles are those you can manipulate purely by muscle memory without taking your eyes or your mind off the road. They do one thing, the same way every time. Controls, not an interactive elements. Voice control is pretty damned interactive and has no place in a vehicle.
To each their own, I guess. I don't like lightweight mice, or keyboards. Not only do I actively use it, but my Magic Mouse is the lighter of the two mice I actively use. The mouse I use on my PC (Logitech G502) even without the add-in weights is heavier than the Magic Mouse.
The one thing I really think Apple got right was making the whole surface of the mouse active. Finger scrolling in whatever direction you need, while simultaneously moving the pointer with your wrist, is really nice.
My youngest (10) has been complaining about school almost since he started. At first we chalked it up to new environment, added structure, etc. but when he became increasingly specific we couldn't keep explaining it away. His main points were boredom, repetition, constraints around learning beyond the curriculum, and being forced to sit
tl;dr; It's not Gen-Z, it's our schools.
The trick is voting for the bird that does the least amount of obnoxious tweeting at 3am.
I don't honestly see much meaningful difference when the other choice is someone who must prepare to merely deliver a coherent sentence.
You're free to think what you want, my individual thought is that people who think they are better than scientists actually studying the topics are morons. That means you just for the record.
Ah yes, the mark of a true scholar, is insults. It's quite telling that you separate yourself into a separate class of person than 'scientists actually studying the topics.' There are many 'scientists' who go into academia for their entire lives, merely studying and repeating the work of others. Are they expected to be authoritative on a subject, and in contrast to an enthusiast? What would concretely separate them, their knowledge, their abilities beyond title?
"Experts are puzzled!"
But know the reason and it's climate change.
*facepalm*
I think it's high time y'all stop trying to use the 'follow the science' line.
Do you know why people don't buy into stories like this, where the only possible reason is hurr durr climate change? Because some of us have the ability to form an individual thought. We're able to consider information beyond what we're told. Able to smell out a story, consider the totality of available information and determine the climate change conclusion appears to have been the starting point. Some of us have the ability to realize that we've been keeping oceanic creatures alive in fish tanks, in our homes, with water temps that vary much more wildly than their natural habitat.
But you do you. If you want to blindly believe some article, well it's not like anything will convince you otherwise.
People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.
