Nevertheless, there seems to be zero buy-in from commercial players in the US. It's such a weird uphill battle. I live in the US, but every summer I spend a month in Sweden, and the past two years I've rented EVs for the entire st

The reason for daylight savings, as batshit insane as it sounds, is that it's easier to authoritatively tell people what time it is, with a one-hour jump twice a year, than to tell people to change business hours twice a year for a b

Stop straw-manning, no-one is denying your heritage or your connections. Your grandmothers were Irish. But you're not. You're American, with Irish heritage. You were born in America to American parents. You are super welcome to

I think the explanation is much simpler, we know the Norse were a bit afraid of the Sami. They viewed them as a weird non-threatening neighbour people who had a weird language and weird magic. So you traded with them, you respected them, yo

It's pretty much only Americans who think clothes on clothes lines makes a place look "poor". Consumerism demands that everyone buys a tumble dryer, therefore not having a tumble dryer means you're a povvo! Meanwhile, in
