Of course it won’t magically happen; other countries have been doing this for decades. It would take time to sort out, but the important difference is having a human-focused common goal of fixing the problem. The common goal now in the US h

I can’t even imagine this combo; I can barely tolerate Sudafed alone. It’s like drinking 15 cups of espresso all at once for me. Jittery; quick tempered; but a clear head and nose. Good with the bad when you’re ill but holy fuck would it be

You are right, in a perfect world. However, due to lawyers, the perfect world has been upended for the consumer. Sure, you can fight it, but over a few dollars returned and thousands paid for an attorney to fight it--only to get a settlemen

I asked my doctor if I should have a sleep study done because I snore. She said, “I can tell you right now that it’ll say you have sleep apnea; that’s all they ever say.” Yes, I found a new doctor but with so many people being diagnosed wit

An interesting concept and actually a lot of fun, particularly that I didn’t actually have to buy anything; however, the system started a $25 item (Olive Garden $35 gift card) at $37! That said, I enjoyed the random banter but I am not a hu

It’s roughly 30-40% world wide and latest stats in the US say between 25 and 35%. I don’t know if people are overestimating but it sure as shit does surprise me each and every day.

Hitting debris or the bottom while on foils is NOT recommended and can be catastrophic to the boat and its passengers. Hydrofoils haven't taken off because of the above and, primarily, the high operation, maintenance, and build costs.

This sounds like a lot of justification for "do your own research," and, in my case, I don't prescribe to that--at all. Hey, by all means, you go ahead and use whatever tools you have available to you to make determinations a
