If I got $100 each time I see a car in NYC blowing through red light or stop sign in NJ I would retire, sit and watch traffic! (Maybe not in 0F lol)

I remember this discussed in my economics class 20y ago.... Whether housewives work should be in GDP. One would hope economists move forward from there.

I saw a real Cybertruck on a street for the first time last week. Looks much worse than in pictures, like a modernized Trabant.... (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant).

Meh, I found VR a gimmic...
It was pita to setup, gave me headaches (from wearing the kit), and "the best" game (Half Life Alyx) had complicated dynamics... so I already forgot what I was supposed to do (after Windows Updates, VR updates, approx. 2 reboots needed... Not to mention Windows updates fkd up my Linux multiboot few times....)

I (a customer) was in a deep chitchat with a bike mechanic about some other outdoor hobby in a big US outdoor gear chain. For like 30min :-) Then I chatted about learning foreign languages (!) with the casheer.
I definitely found the experience memorable and have great association with the store's brand!!!!

wX (on Fdroid) is a bit geekier alternative. It has a textual weather description, links to AFD (Forecast Discussion by a human meteorologist), and fantastic radar features.

What’s the most tone-deaf advertisement or marketing campaign you’ve ever seen?
Reply in thread
I remember a good take on it! An ad in one of Nordic languages where a happy family sings to a metal or punk(?) radio tune which refrain went "I want to f*** you in your ***".
It was an ad to promote learning foreign languages.
