“Like many things about cars, someone seeing the sticker and asking while I’m lacing up shoes or just stretching before going for a run is akin to noticing a performance upgrade and asking. Ever asked someone who owns a car you admire some detail? Same thing...”

Gotcha.  Something that hasn’t come out yet is not what is causing your 3-year-old phone to overheat.

How would a future standard cause your almost-3-year-old phone to overheat?

That 2023 Q3 39M visitor figure is a rolling 12-month number though, right? 2019 had 42.5M, and 2022 was 38.8M. Once again, I still have no idea where you’re getting the 50M just in visitors flying in and another 100M driving in numbers from that you stated in your first reply.

Not sure where you are getting your numbers from, but Vegas gets nowhere near 150 million visitors per year; I don’t think anywhere on the planet gets that many visitors per year.

I’m grasping? I’m not the one saying CUVs are minivans. Either way, I think we’ll just have to agree to mostly disagree on this one.

And size. I (and I think most anyone else) wouldn’t say a Honda HR-V is like a minivan except that it has rear doors that swing open. The Honda Odyssey is a minivan that has rear doors that slide open, and the rear doors that slide open are the hallmark of a minivan, but so is the size and interior arrangement of it.

So what’s the difference between a minivan and an SUV in your view?

If it was a minivan (I assume you mean in terms of physical proportions), wouldn’t it have the space behind the second row for the doors to potentially slide backwards if it had sliding doors? It doesn’t have the physical space for the doors to slide back enough, so there’s no way it has the physical proportions of a…

What kind of deal are you brokering that the closer has a butt plug in them?

I get that, and I know that’s part and parcel of superhero stories, but they didn’t really grow Loki’s powers; he had all of these powers from the first time he showed up in Thor, IIRC.
