Neil, if you’re gonna speak relatively but are exclusively comparing stars, you’re going to have to be more specific.
Relatively speaking, stars are hot compared to the rest of the universe.
As long as they’re a smartphone on wheels the answer is no.
We want real cars again, even if electric.
I use email Drafts sometimes for lists of things.
I will find lists from last year sometimes. No idea if I did it or not!
Or any matter of things on a global scale instead of national.
I’m a citizen of the Earth before I’m the citizen of any Nation, but it’s hard to remember that.
