That bug burned me a couple times before I switched to using 24-hour time exclusively on my devices.

For something that people use everyday, the iOS vertically-scrolling, fake-dial UI is just horrible in terms of usability and aesthetics, and I was glad when they added the ability to summon a numeric keypad with a single tap on the center dial.

The keypad input and interaction is extremely well thought out and efficient for setting the time.

If your skills support it, perhaps try repositioning yourself as "a designer who codes" or "UX Engineer".

Could you please explain more about why you would prefer those specific controls to be touch based? Is it to have the possibility of finer-grained adjustment?

For me, wipers and audio volume are controls I want to be able to access immediately and without taking my eyes off the road, as they sometimes need to be used with urgency. (For example, turning down high volume to reduce distraction or activating wipers to clear a sudden downpour.)

I've found quality wool garments to be very helpful. Examples: A thick wool "cable knot" sweater is both warm and highly breathable, ideal for hiking. Wool socks (and/or wool felt slippers when it's very cold) keep feet warm without any of the clamminess (or smell) associated with cotton or synthetics. Merino wool underwear has similar benefits.

The price is higher compared to cotton or synthetics, but it's possible to find good values by shopping sales. The daily rewards of wool (in every season) are worth the extra effort.

I haven't personally, but there was recently a discussion of that very topic on the i-bob list.

For people who are REALLY into bikes, a "rinko bike" helps with this. For general use however, I'm convinced about using a scooter as described above by the GGP.

I work daily with 2015 MBPs, and I agree the keyboards are good. But every day I also miss the keyboard of my burnt out 2011 MBP. In my 20 years of using macs, that one and the 2012 generation had the best combination of crisp resistance + travel.

Subway has other ways of getting rid of people when it suits them. There was an article posted here recently about the underhanded methods Subway regional managers have used to shut down competing franchisees within their territories. [1]

McDonalds is a much stronger company just based on their ownership of some of the most valuable real estate across the USA.
