Some of that is those advertisers want toeget everyone. You are not a women but odds are you live with one (at some point in life) who asks you to go buy something for her.

Those buying ads have of ways to track what works. they needed that 200 years ago already and were developing it. (Not all of course, but the big ones)

I have a mouse problem. have had it for years (like most people). If you make a better mousetrap today I want it - but I'm not researching this every year.

We don't know, but since the girl in question was only 14 it is believable she didn't know yet, but in that case she would be to a doctor soon after.

>The manager apologized and then called a few days later to apologize again.

>On the phone, though, the father was somewhat abashed. “I had a talk with my daughter,” he said. “It turns out there’s been some activities in my house I haven’t been completely aware of. She’s due in August. I owe you an apology.”

That quote, especially the "there’s been some activities in my house I haven’t been completely aware of" part makes me think she knew and was trying to hide it. There's also the expectation that if she really didn't know, that person writing the article would put that detail in, given how extra sensational it would make the story.

Some of the miss is intentional. they don't want you to know what they know so they give some random things you don't want to throw you off

That is a bad answer because it invites too much power to those commissions/boards. They already have a lot of power which they abuse (in places) to not allow things they don't like that would be good for the community.

Does anyone make an electric Sedan for sale in the US? I'm starting to look and all I can find are SUV - I own a truck already, I want back in a car. Preferably something without too much power (My kids will be driving age soon).

You can buy an old ICE and convert to electric. At this point most ICE that isn't a tracking device is old enough that you need to be comfortable doing your own maintenance anyway so the effort of the above is no longer an excuse.

Good luck getting it insured.

People do this all the time. Insurance is available. You can't get a scrap car, but if there is a valid title you can insure it.

> Your use case sounds like it would be perfect for renting a vehicle, especially since it would save you from storing and insuring it an extra 300 days per year.

Have you ever looked at the real costs of renting. More rentals won't let you tow. They won't let you go off road (no burning man!), even if allowed they will charge you for the damages typical of going off road. Any just when you think you have navigated all that you get there to pick up the car you reserved and they are sold out.

I'm not saying renting cannot work, but it isn't nearly as clear cut as people keep saying.

> potentially tow a long distance.

IF you do this even once a year you don't really have any other option. Finding a rental truck that allows you to tow is hard. The vast majority won't allow it. When you do find one it is generally in an inconvenient location and very expensive. I can justify keeping my truck (long paid for) just because just 2 trips a year need a truck and so it is cheaper overall to just own the truck (tax and insurance is low) than to rent.
