Saloon and salon are different European spellings for the same word. Google “saloon etymology” for a full explanation. It just means a place to sit or gather.

It’s bad for regular folks. There are some people swimming in money because of everything you have mentioned.

Just the other day I have read that the USA has depleted most of its bomb stock in the Iran war and it will take years to replenish. Translation: weapon makers are guaranteed orders for new bombs at least for the next few years.

I am 6 feet tall male and while I don’t feel particularly tall, I am still slightly taller than the statistical average American male, making it rather inconvenient. Clothes are too short, cars and power equipment is too short, bed is too short, tables, chairs and countertops are too short, ceilings are too short…

Piercings, and other body modifications, from tattoos to plastic surgery, are a way to express individualism. Hair style, and hair coloring are also body modifications, albeit less drastic in nature.

While I generally don’t support piercings for the same reasons op stated, I do for some unexplainable reason find earrings and nose rings on women to be attractive.

It’s only weird because it’s all in one bowl. If you move the cottage cheese and hot spice to a separate bowl, it is no longer weird, even if you eat both at the same time.

That’s sort of impossible by definition.

One of the ways we have defined a species is that it can’t breed with another species, be it due to bio mechanics (the sex organs don’t match), or genetics (mismatched chromosomes etc). Humans have tried to create hybrids of closely related species like horses and donkeys, but the resulting mule is sterile. See also tiger lion hybrids etc.

Yeah, if you want hunting gear, pretty sure camo is your only color choice. Kind like HenryFord with his any color as long as it’s black. I am not a hunter so what do I know.

but the other day I was looking for a long sleeve summer shirt to wear on walks/jogging this summer (I hate sunscreen), and ended up with a shirt for fishing. Every lightweight loose fitting long sleeve synthetic shirt was advertised as fishing gear. I guess I am a wannabe fisherman now.
