| Fun fact: There really is a town in northwest Bavaria called "Hammelburg". It really was the site of a German POW camp for allied prisoners. Patton's son-in-law was held there. So Patton sent a detachment of troops to attack the camp to spring his daughter's husband from the place...the Ge... |

| Well my take away was mixed emotions. I feel for the guy struggling to make a living. But I am delighted to learn that Americans really are coming to their senses, and are giving up tobacco ...in ways that are so measurable that...it drives people out of business. Europeans had consumed beer and win... |

| Here in Australia, I think just jacking up the price has helped. When I quit, about twenty years ago, a 50g pack of Drum was about $40. Now it's about $200. I still miss smoking, but I'd never take it up again, just because of price. Now smoking is so uncommon, I can't even find someone if I want t... |

Hmmm... I guess you're right that those signs did say "sold".
But then they both diversified their meals beyond just burgers. And they thought it sounded less crass to say...we serve people...rather "sell burgers".  |

| IDK how it would be enforced. And apparently peeing in the pool is very common, if you swim in a public pool its safe to assume there is pee in it, that is actually what that 'swimming pool' smell is at least according to something I was reading or watching. The "swimming pool smell" is f... |

| I didn’t know that “Blackbird” was about civil rights. That’s very interesting. I probably should’ve known since it’s one of my favorite songs. :lol: I just found out recently myself. Gosh. Really? 1) you're a fellow Americans. My teen self guessed that that was the underlying meaning when the albu... |

| The thing about banning things is that a) its very quick and b) it's very cheap so if you're a government with a record of not achieving very much and an electorate that's written you off as ineffectual, a few bans (particularly of things that are unpopular anyway) starts to seem like a good idea. ... |
