  • Strangely enough, I used to research this. I used to work for a grocery delivery company and we’re travel around to learn how people fed themselves in different parts of the worlds.

    For North America and Europe, the big difference was among people in major cities, vs rural or suburban areas. The grocery, transportation infrastructure, and housing stock are often very very different. And that changes how people eat.

    City shoppers = smaller, more frequent, shopping trips that cover the day or week.

    Outside of the city = more need / opportunities to “stock up” and buy in bulk.











  • I grew up in a family full of cops and as a kid / teenager I was taken around on ridealongs in the 80s / 90s with family members. I’d be shocked if that’s kosher now, but I’m glad it was something I got to experience back in the day.

    I will never forget watching cops just get out of the way and let a person of interest or suspect drive off. They’d do that, and like clockwork, say “no one outruns Motorola.” (Motorola was the wireless giant at the time.) It wasn’t worth putting lives at risk when you could just knock on that person’s door at a later date.

    This guy wasn’t doing anything by the book. He was escalating, approaching a moving vehicle, he had his firearm in hand, etc. People are literally trained NOT to do everything this guy did. It puts everyone at risk. The officer, the driver, bystanders, etc.
