Touch screens are great. My 2021 GMC Terrain is a touch screen and it works fine. I can also use voice commands to enter things like addresses in the navigator and so on. However, my wife's 2018 Mercedes C300, it's not a touch screen and no voice command. It's a pain having to use a 'knob' in the center console to 'type' in addresses or select options.

I drive a 2021 GMC Terrain and there are a couple of new features (compared to the 2013 GMC Terrain that I traded-in) that I really like. They include adaptive speed control, where you set the maximum speed that you want to drive and the distance between you and the vehicle in front of you (in car-lengths) and it maintain that distance and matches the speed, as long as it's less than what you've set. I also like the automatic dimming high-beams. One thing I wish it had, that my wife's Mercedes C300 has, is automatic windshield wipers, which changes speed depending on how heavy it's raining. One thing that I wasn't sure that I'd like, but now that I'm used to it, I kind of like, and that's 'push-button' (actually switches that you pull) gear shift mounted in the dash. It allows for a 'cleaner' center console with more usable space for cup holders and a place to put your cell phone. Also, the automatic braking is handy, particularly when you're trying to navigate parking lots with people stopping quick or backing out without looking.

All-in-all, the additional 'tech' in my current car, compared to the same, albeit eight-year older, model, is highly appreciated and works really well.

Unfortunately, almost none of Trump's supporters will ever hear of this...

Now we've got Right-wing media types suggesting that if Tim Walz knew that his son was going 'behave like that', he should have left him at home.

It's not that he can't verbally express himself, it's that his mind struggles to understand why and how people interact socially as they do.

Non-verbal Learning Disability is not limited to what a person hears but it's also related to how they see the world. Often they have problems with spatial recognition like not being able to tell time from an analog clock face. They also tend to be poor at math, and while it may also take longer for them to learn to read since that requires being able to recognize the shape and relationship of letters, generally, once they overcome that problem, they are known to be avid readers, which they use to compensate for some of their other issues. They are also generally introverts, again this makes reading a source of satisfaction for them. As for their raw intelligence, while it might be harder to measure due to problems with solving spacial problems which are part of most IQ tests, once issues like that are compensated for, individuals with Non-verbal Learning Disabilities are about as intelligent as anyone else.

I'm not sure how he expects that to pass legal muster, since something is defamatory only if it damages the reputation of a person or group by saying or writing bad things about them that are not true.

Obama signed H.R.3230 - Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014. Trump only signed an extension.
