Americans "want" big SUVs because they're cheaper than mid-sized sedans. Unfortunately, they pollute more and they're less safe. The SUV protectionism of import tariffs, safety exclusions, and pollution carve-outs must e

Meanwhile, in Florida: the beef protection racket bans it. Recall what happened to Oprah in 1996 when she dared to express an opinion about beef during the global mad cow scare.[0] And, also the existence of beef libel laws in multiple stat

FC and Slashdot. There was a lot less traffic in the Bay Area in 2002 than 2000, and it was easier to find parking in downtown Palo Alto, but the eBay parking lot on Hamilton Place in San Jose still looked like a supercar showroom of the P

When precision composite or aluminum parts don't fit, just jump up-and-down on them until they do. Record on paperwork as "everything fit perfectly". A little lost durability or strength sells more repair parts! /s

It's all well-and-good to know about local cuisine, but sourcing them affordably and easily in other areas of the world is the key gotcha. Middle America has greatly improved over the past 20 years in international ingredient availabil

Balsamic vinegar (TBV, TBVM, TBVRE), olive oil, maple syrup, wasabi, and more are all ripe (pun intended) for counterfeiting and deceptive marketing of inferior products. This is why PDOs & appellations for agricultural products exist.

Apartheid South Africa also tried to ban news media. It's a sign of extreme desperation and signals political vulnerability. Hopefully, Israel will get elections soon, and center- or left-leaning coalition government will pursue differ

Pretty much the Saudi sphere of influence in a nutshell. Parts of the maintained colonial vestiges within proper China are also equally absurd in splendor: marble from floor-to-ceiling, chandeliers as large as medium-sized aircraft, hedge m

An inevitable conclusion of extreme corporate profiteering and reckless and absurd inequality: a populace too poor to afford to pay into the consumption Pyramid Scheme. The skewed, power-law like distribution is now more lopsided than the G

It's rampant on eBay where there are copied titles/licenses being sold and what appear to be copied physical media too. And eBay doesn't do anything about it. Examples of illicit digital copies: https://www.ebay.co

I remember those. 4-sided either rounded bulbs or paddles that blended into the central hub. The disadvantage is that they require fine motor control and so aren't accessible to all people. The problem though is that most of the pushbu

While it's cute, it's a small business not a startup and still a gimmick that doesn't solve the problem that coffee is a commodity and so the business is fundamentally not defensible. It's equivalent to being a meal kit

The style of toilet matters in the US. The problem is that the cheapest toilets tend to also meet all sorts of greenwashing (no pun intended) certifications while being unreliable, smaller, and not very good. Tankless ones are far more expe

The exact same refrigerants that were used in US automotive air-conditioning, although now they moved on or are moving from R-134a to HFO-1234yf. I still have a dozen vintage cans of R-12 but no vehicle that uses them.
