Except they can, remember fidget spinners?

All of the “buy now pay later” or pay in installment schemes/apps popping up, supposedly they are popular but I don’t get it, it is just a worse credit card.

Absolutely this, sedans are virtually dead here in America thanks to CAFE regulations and I staunchly refuse to buy an SUV or pickup, even used, unless I have a need for something bigger, and then Station Wagons and vans will get my attention before pickups, and SUVs will never get my attention.

Especially when you consider my 2000 Town Car (RIP Mercury) got 21MPG city and 30 Highway (on long interstate trips), even though it was only rated for 16 city 23 highway, but somehow a 2025 Ford Explorer only is rated for 18 city/25 highway, only 2 MPG better than a 25 year old car’s official rating on both categories, despite being the same price new, before being adjusted for inflation (both started between $39-40k), 25 years of development for a 2.3L I4 SUV to match a 25 year old 4.6L V8 sedan, our vehicle market is a joke.

Eh, I support places moving time zone but a bigger factor for me is also linguistic, it doesnt make sense for high noon at the place the time zone is defined at to be at 1 in the afternoon, the one thing I think alot of people can agree with is that 12 should be noon or as close as possible and I feel that DST works against this.

I support standard time more, the 12 o clock at the center of the timezone should be noon, not having noon at 1PM, and day lengths are better on average without. DST makes it better, but only for sunset times, it makes the mornings drastically worse and I think employers and schools should just change their hours if they care so much about sunlight when they leave.

Right? You can’t even get ear drops that work anymore because all of the ones they stock over the counter are homeopathic where I live.

By my understanding yes, pseudoephedrine was being used for meth so they put it behind the counter and the name brand “Sudafed” made a PE line that was this, phenylephrine, to stay over the counter.

The US Army used to teach shooting similarly to that, minus the hand in the pocket of course.
