  1. How many turn knobs in your car?

    I'm a 50c Chinese troll remember. I'm saving up for my first rickshaw. Then I can have 2 jobs and just troll you in my downtime.
    Just Google car dashboards and take your pick.

    Why it must be a unique one if you think you have more than a couple. In my radio, not a single button is different. Iow, no raised plastic like a keyboard. Same on my heater.

    Not sure why you feel the need to tell us you have a poorly designed car? Maybe with your expensive American troll posts you will be able to afford a better one soon.

    And the last thing a driver should do is be feeling around. Glance quickly and get it done. Everybody does that in spite of your lying.

    Glance quick and get it done, yes with a botton that feels different and has tactile feedback. Not glance slowly. focus on finding the right icon, glance at the road maybe if your 'carefull' while carefully pressing the touchscreen and watching to see if the press was registered correctly.
    Like I said, take your eyes of as much
    Where did I lie? More baseless accusations from a known lying scumbag that is you Windy.

    At least read and understand the posts you are replying to. I used small words.
    You aren't really concerned about AGW. You just like to blame China and developing countries, and pretend the US has clean hands. If you really cared you would be after the big polluters, not just the big countries.

    So sea level rising 125 meters is a good thing? Lets rise it another 125 meters and see if it gets even better.
    Lets melt all the glaciers then and it will get even nicer...

    Or, you can read the science, esp the chemistry and physics,

    Yes. You should have just stopped here.

    see it demonstrated, pay attention to all the glaciers that are melting, notice that animals/birds/flauras, etc are moving towards poles, and then make an INTELLIGENT backing of science.

    No.
    that is just observation and correlation, it doesn't prove CO2 is the cause.
    Of course the first three things prove it is, so the rest isn't necessary.
    Just pointing out you don't really understand how science works and just like to spout talking points and Windy feelings (lies mostly).

    It doesn't have to block all the heat retard, just block more than before to trap more heat than before, that trapped heat builds up. It's almost simple enough for Windy to understand.

    We have been told to stop, but that's quite different from actually stopping.
    Entitled asshats like Windy like to complain that a Chinese person has increased his CO2 from 6 to 6.1 or an Indian from 2 to 3 or a third worlder from .6 to .7. All these people are aparently killing the planet according to people like him. But they never like it when you mentoin Americans are already emitting 16 tons each and barely slowing down.

    You want to cut CO2, cut it from the people who make the most, not the people who make the least.

    I get it though, we like to stay on top as long as we can, and stopping other countries from catching up is a good way to do it.

    Why swap places? If you think there is a level that it's ok to emit at, pick it. I'm sure the less wasteful, less entitled countries, will get there first. America Canada Australia etc will be the last ones to get there.
    That's not even considering those poor countries make a lot of our stuff. We outsource a lot of our CO2 to those countries and then blame then and not us for the waste.

    Are you really going to tell a Chinese person he can't buy a car because it will increase China's CO2 and be bad for the environment, all while America drives the most inefficient fleet of cars. Are you going to tell the Indian he can't have air-conditioning because it will use too much electricity, while your electricity for just cooling is more than 10 Indian families use in total?
    Why us and not them? If the things they are doing to be like us are bad, shouldn't we stop doing them as well?
    Why are we surprised when they don't listen to us or take us seriously.

  11. Grab the giant knob without looking and turn it. Some people have peripheral vision, we aren't all one eyed Musk fanbois who can see nothing but what they want to see.
    Radio controls would be on the steering wheel anyway.

    Alternatively 3 would be in the middle of a row of five and the middle has a bump so you know it's the middle. Press that one.

    If someone puts up a solar panels and drives an electric car, of course it reduces carbon emissions. Not enough to reduce the level of CO2 or to compensate for someone like Windy in a high emission country, but still less than if they didn't do those things.
    Strawman much? Where did I say they were linked?
    Maybe your first step is to explain where you got that idea from.

    Same page? Most nations are many chapters ahead of you in lowering CO2. Developing nations aren't even up to the same book you are using. Your country is the standout rich and large and produces massive amounts of CO2 relative to population.
    You may have noticed a lot of developing countries don't exactly have idle nuclear scientists hanging about waiting for reactors to be built, even if they could afford them and afford to wait to use the electricity they want now.

    Yea, why should those poor third world nations be able to do what us rich first world nations already do.
    If they really wanted to use coal they should just be rich. Per person Americans use the most coal for their electricity.

  16. I don't remember ever having to reboot the buttons and knobs on any car I've driven...

  17. There you go again.

    There you go again.

    Cars have a few turn knobs, but most are pushbuttons, just like a touch screen. You will not know EXACTLY WHICH button to push unless you glance and make sure that you are there.

    Buttons give tactile feedback. Screens do not. Buttons can be different shapes and sizes.

    WIth Tesla, we have the most important controls on the steering wheel which controls the fan, loudness, radio station/track, phone calls, etc. With the side screen, I use it mostly to see the back cam.

    With every other car you can have the same.
    Ask yourself this though, and then go check. Are all those things on the steering wheel buttons or little tiny touchscreens? I wonder why...

    Ppl who who claim that they are not taking their eyes off the road are liars. After all, they are looking in the side and rear mirrors, or better be. And I have no doubt that all those making that claim, are making phone calls or even texting.

    Lets quote again what I said and you failed to understand

    Better to have a knob you can turn and press without taking your eyes off the road as much.

    People can glance once to find the right knob, (even that is often unnecessary with good design) and then use it without looking further. Try doing that on a touchscreen with little tiny icons you have to accurately press with no tactile feedback. Screens take much more attention away from the road than buttons.

  18. Both links in the summary show $200. Why not link to this other source?
    Who said it was isolated? Apple do this a lot.
    Do you work for Apple?

  19. Clearly false, with a knob I can just feel it. With a screen you have to look and make sure you're pressing the right place.
