"The Royal Family" gets similar treatment. I suspect that it's a language thing---there are only two Anglosphere countries with presidents, and the other one (Ireland) has ~1/50th …

A trip to Alpha Centauri would be decidedly intra-galactic; the distance from the Sun to the edge of our galaxy is on the order of 4300 times the distance from the Sun to Alpha Cen…

If you still like the idea of buttons, but don't want to give up using the vendor-supplied buttons themselves, you can use the "two clicks for more privacy" jQuery plugin[0], which…
