How much of this is due to vehicle life expectancy improving and how much of it is nobody can afford a new car. Obviously it's not purely the later, because vehicle do (generally) last longer these days, but it's not like everyone was driving their vehicles into the dirt previously.

One of the most popular recent movie franchises is literally about a guy who goes on a murder rampage because someone killed his dog

Why the fuck did they think this would go over well.

No need, the great salt lake is drying up and the city will likely be entirely uninhabitable by 2050.

Stares at most PDX games having increasing player counts

How much of this is the lack of people wanting to play strategy games vs the lack of good strategy games

Nobody makes a business investment and expects a return year one.

Except that's the issue, they do now. Long term sustainable growth is no longer acceptable, and hasn't been for some time. Shutting down ideas that would clearly be good in the long run in favor of short term gains has been the order of the day for years now.l

Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.

But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they're always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.

It's a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.

They're solid generic blockbuster action-ish movies. They're not amazing, but they're fun enough that I think they're worth a watch if you can't decide what to watch one night.
