I had a professor in college who intentionally got infected by a bot fly to see what it was like. That's dedication.

I drove a rental Chevy Spark around on one trip. The size was fantastic. The engine was crap.

Yep, Mini Coopers are quite popular in my neighborhood. They used to be a dream car for me, but now they are just as big as everything else.

I prefer smaller cars. Every once in a while I browse what's available in new cars. Every time there are fewer and fewer options in the compact/sub compact category. I guess I'm just going to hope nothing ever happens to my Civic (which is honestly larger than I'd wish) because I don't know what I'd replace it with.

Of course giant vehicles as a share of sales is going to increase, when that's 75%+ of what is available to buy.

That was my first thought, reading the article. There's no way he was just jogging. What kind of jogger takes a cart with them? I've never seen something like that, and I see a lot of joggers in my area.

Lasik. Being able to wake up in the morning and just see things with zero effort was life changing.

How many people have been assaulted by someone who would've been caught if a previous victim's rape kit had been processed in a timely manner?

It's absolutely sickening to think of...

A quick Google showed me a $40 smartphone from Walmart. Granted it's probably pretty terrible, but it does go to show that they aren't all priced like luxury toys. If you want a luxury branded phone, you'll pay luxury prices.

The same way I always do. Ignore as much of it as I can until I get my ballot.

Research people/issues as I fill out the ballot.

Check the results the next day to see how the results shake out. Repeat for the next election.

Just some tasty metal shards.

Why is someone who is not mentally competent enough to stand trial allowed to return to society? He should have been under medical supervision, not wandering the streets.

According to the article, boomers had ~20% of wealth when they were the same age as millennials. So even accounting for older generations having more, boomers were much better off in comparison.

Most people I know with taxidermy are hunters. So it is more "Let me relax in a space full of the creatures I've murdered."

Seems like it is more than time to legalize it nationally

I've found that I can't post images from a front-end, but I can if I do it directly on the instance from the browser.

As an American, this is 100% my favorite TV show. I'm so happy they got the rights to release every episode on YouTube the day after it airs.

Also, if you enjoy the UK panel show vibe, I really enjoy Would I Lie to You and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

I once knew someone who refused to tell anyone the name they chose before the baby was born (absolutely valid choice, IMO). The grandpa-to-be chose to exclusively refer to the fetus as Beelzebub.

Local library for entertainment - free ebooks, free streaming of movies, passes to museums/state parks etc.

Eat at home, cook in bulk and eat leftovers to save time/money.

Ad block for watching YouTube/network tv without annoying ad breaks

Bodyweight fitness, walking, and at home yoga for exercise - no need for a gym membership

Use Facebook marketplace to get free/cheap furniture

I've been here since June, and it's never had karma score calculated for the profile. My understanding was that they didn't want to promote karma farming like is done on Reddit.
