Sears shut down the mail order operation in 1993. I don’t think Lambert had anything to do with that. It’s not clear to me he’s actually been making money off the fiasco either. Wikipedia: “ In March 2012, Lampert was No. 367 on the Forbes

DC Metro is “heavy rail”. What exactly the difference between heavy rail and light rail is a matter of debate in some cases but I don’t think there’s any dispute that DC Metro or NY Subway is heavy rail.

It depends a lot on the city, but in high-traffic areas, buses are extremely slow and unreliable because they have to fight through the traffic jams. Dedicated bus lanes get around this, but it’s very hard to recapture the lane from car tra

When I am visiting a friend and plan to drive after a drink or two, I usually find and bring a “session beer” that’s 4-5% ABV. There are good beers out there that aren’t 7-8% but it does seem like the majority of craft beer is high ABV and

It varies state-by-state in the USA whether that’s the case, there’s a patchwork of state laws and one’s best bet is to consult an attorney familiar with your state here. (Please don’t drive drunk so you don’t have to make this decision!)
