A respected pro athlete is close to setting some kind of record. Should opposing players ease off just a bit to allow him to set the record, or should they still try their hardest to win, just as they ordinarily would?

You are a car salesman. It is near the end of December. A customer comes in (whom you know to be bipolar) and he is clearly in a manic phase, which happens to him 1-2 times a year. He announces that he wants to purchase 10 cars from you.

You know that he is technically wealthy enough to afford it, but that it will still put a big dent in his finances and that he will most likely regret it when the mania is over. At the same time, this 10-car purchase would put you over the quota for the month and for the year, which will get you a big bonus. What do you do?

Similar poll to before, as to a respected pro athlete who’s close to setting some kind of record. This time, however, it’s the athlete’s final season. Should opposing players ease off just a bit to allow him to set the record, or should they still try their hardest to win, just as they ordinarily would?

Same question - this time, however, it’s the athlete’s very last game. Should opposing players ease off just a bit to allow him to set the record, or should they still try their hardest to win, just as they ordinarily would?

The Cybertruck will be out soon (boo/cheer)! The originally stated price has been thrown out the door however, and speculation is that the initial price will be more than twice what was originally suggested. Still, if you were given the chance to buy a model (for the Poll, assume 300 mile range, AWD, and a build quality in line with most major competitors, not the level seen in current prototypes), what would you pay?

You may choose up to three options to cover either a range of prices or a range of reasons to not buy.

My brother visited tonight, and he said something he’s said before: he dreams almost every night and doesn’t like it, **at all**. Huh.

How do _you_ feel about dreaming?

For the purpose of this poll “dream” = you remember parts of your dreams for at least a few moments when you wake up, or have an impression that it was pleasant, stressful, or scary even if the details escape you. _In reality we probably all dream every night, but it’s hard to have an opinion about dreams you don’t recall_

Would you want to fly on a “retro” airline? (an airline that uses the latest modern jetliners but intentionally mimics the 1960s-1970s by having a cabin that looks out of Pan Am, with old-fashioned upholstery and carpeting, no in-flight entertainment seat TVs, wide spacing and roomy, flight attendants wearing 1970s attire, old-fashioned light bulbs instead of LEDs, comfy couches and also 1970s-era food)
