I need to own a large car because I go grocery shopping once a week and bring two large dogs with me (80 lbs and 120lbs). They are really squished with groceries in the crossover.
Why would you need to take two large dogs with you grocery shopping?

This is true. Residential recycling is mostly a complete waste, and was only created to make people feel better about the use of disposable plastics for everything.

Indeed. Now how do we do this on a societal level quickly and easily in a way that everyone remains in synchronisation
I guess you missed the part where OP said if wanted. I'd estimate that the pro/anti clock fiddling populations are about half-and-half now. Why should half be forced, even though they are tired of having to adjust their wake and sleep schedules twice a year, just to appease the other half?
minimal confusion and no requirement to adjust signage / information?
I never go to a business close to expected open/close hours without verifying with my phone first. Constantly shifting business hours since COVID have already made that a requirement.

If a particular research program can't exist without government funding, it was probably bullshit to begin with. There's a LOT of useless PHDs out there. It's about time someone cut the waste.

An owner should be incapable of any "charging method" that causes failure.
Owners drive with low oil or antifreeze all the time. Some owners fail to change their oil despite newer cars going so far as reminding them when it's time. My son blew the head gasket by red lining his engine one time too many.
Nobody demands the car should prevent the owner from being stupid in those cases. If you spend $40k or more on a vehicle, you ought to take the time to understand what is acceptable care and operation and what isn't. Or else, be prepared to spend a lot of money for that education when it's too late.

This is the blandest, most watered-down way to say "lost their job" yet. Quite nauseating.
Or they're like me in their late 40s and early 50s with a bit of money behind them, mortgage almost paid off or paid off and just said "fuck it I can't be arsed anymore." I'm a lorry driver here in the UK, a "trucker" in American. I've spent the last 15 years aggressively saving and investing, I've got enough "fuck you money" that I no longer have to work if I don't want to. I'd already cut my days down last year to four. This year I'm down to 2 to 3 days - I've actually only worked one this week - and will be taking the entirety of August off in addition to the 33 days pro-rata paid annual leave I also get. I did toy with just stopping altogether.

Jeremy Slater is an American screenwriter and producer who is known for writing Fant4stic, a heavily panned Marvel film before being re-written by Josh Trank and Simon Kinberg, Death Note and Moon Knight
Slater had exactly one writing credit before Fantastic Four. The unqualified writer's script was rejected and rewritten by others on the project. The director/writer Trank at least had actual credits prior to being attached to Fantastic 4. Among others, he previously directed a full length movie with a rating of 7 on IMDB. Thanks for proving my point!

Oh, Jesus. They had to throw some Handmaid's Tale into it too?
supergirl stabs a guy who shot her dog with a poison that tortures it to death over three days.
When he could have just shot it with a 357 or whatever alien Mad Max sidearm he might have? I didn't realize she was up against a Bond villain. That's an illogical, lazy, contrived sense of urgency. I'm sure the writer patted herself on the back when she thought it up.
it was a fun movie
But was it a GOOD movie? The problem is taking existing IP, existing canon and existing expectations and delivering a mediocre movie. Had supergirl never existed before this release, it might have been different. It was already a long shot to produce a supergirl movie that would catch fire with the public. It sounds like this one is not it.
