When you are trying to time a certain number of seconds and you are counting out loud (or to yourself) what is the “spacer word(s)” you use to estimate the length of a second.

In the Simon & Garfunkel song _The Boxer_, the first part of the song tells the story of the “poor boy” who left home as a young boy and is feeling lost and alone in New York City, in first-person narration. Then the final verse describes a boxer standing in a clearing in the third person. Are the poor boy and the boxer two different people or the same person?

For this poll, i mean listening to an actual radio, not listening to a radio station on your phone. (My husband plays NPR on his phone much of the day. Doesn’t count, it’s a phone app.)

When was the last time you listened to the radio?

When was the last time you listened to AM radio?

When was the last time you listened to AM radio in your car?

_Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/7017))_

If you wanted to listen to a particular station on AM radio, in your car, do you know how to do that, without looking up anything? (Like, how to tune the radio to a station.)

Poll 1: if you could somehow magically convince Trump to permanently reverse one policy what would it be.

_Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/7027))_

Poll2: Suppose the only way to do this was to say to anyone who brings up the subject that Trump was the bestest most wonderful president of all time. If you ever say anything that suggests that Trump was anything other than perfect, then the policy is immediately reinstated and you, your family and all your friends get sent to the gulag for life. Would you agree?
