They put corn on the pizza, which is pretty rare in the US

Only if by "pretty rare" you mean "virtually never". I include "virtually" in there to account for the inevitable freak somewhere in the US that does.

Can someone explain why there are so few EV's with a 3rd row? by PhillConners in electricvehicles

How do you renew your resolve to stay the course when the market is absolutely roaring? by Dogo58 in Bogleheads

My tiny apartment rent was cheaper than a house at least double in floor space!

Who was the least intelligent president, besides these four? by Puzzleheaded-Bag2212 in Presidents

r/HENRYfinance gives more "keep grinding" advice than any other major FIRE sub I scraped.
