The clothes that juuuuust don't quite fit that I'm hoarding just in case I manage to lose that wright I've been trying to lose for the last thirty years now.

To give you an Australian perspective here are some current indicative prices for solar installations over here. https://www.solarquotes.com.au/panels/cost/

My son went for his driver's licence a little over a year ago. The examiner recorded the test on an iPad and showed me snippets afterwards of things he had to work on for his next attempt.

"Going in for a closer look."

I drive a car built in 2018 and I'm really happy with the balance between buttons and screen.

I've got stalks for indicators, wipers and cruise control. Physical switches for lights, windows, mirrors, climate temp, fan, air source, defrost front and rear, odometer reset, driving mode, master door unlock and opening the boot/tailgate. Vents are manually operated and the glovebox and fuel tank flap are too. The steering wheel has physical buttons for media source, track skip/radio seek, phone calls, starting the voice control mic, and scroll wheels for volume and cycling through information displays on the small screen between the large analogue gauges on the dashboard. And a 10 inch touchscreen for everything else (reverse camera, media and maps, mostly, but includes all the car settings you don't fiddle with often, like light delays, beep volumes, summer time offset etc.).

Basically anything I'm likely to want to use whilst driving I can find and operate with at most a quick glance, if not by touch alone, and have immediate feedback that I got it right because I felt the switch/stalk/button move under my fingertips as I expected.

I've wondered what functions I'd be happy with moving from a physical control to the touchscreen or capacitive button. I haven't come up with a single one. Yet if I were to buy the latest version of this car just about anything that is currently a physical button is now a capacitive touch button. Yeah, no thanks.

Yep, I'm well aware that I'm privileged. I'm concerned about the world my kids will live in as they grow up.

This sounds like retirement.

I was in Singapore just last week and I swear it wasn't so perfectly round then. Did I miss an earthquake or something?

IIRC, the Mandarin for "four" sounds similar to "death", so it is considered unlucky/inauspicious. I think OP was subtly suggesting that the CCP would rather do something to avoid the consequences of climate change than not. Those consequences including social upheaval, resulting in an unhappy populace, resulting in their possible removal from power.

Maybe somewhere in all this stuffing about with Keep they can add the ability to sort lists.
