Re: Why are hot dogs called hot dogs?

It seems there are many legends about how they earned their name, including one about rumors of dog meat in them.

Re: Why are hot dogs called hot dogs?

The word car comes from the root of the word carriage. It has a source that is pretty logical.

They smell bad, they taste bad, and they are high in sugar.
There are people who say that they smell okay, taste good, and are worth the sugar.

Why would this force people to own two homes? Do people own two homes for summer camp?
You mean we should have boarding schools. I don't see the advantage in that.

Re: How politicized is COVID-19?

I agree. Both the Republicans and Democrats are trying to make the other side look stupid, but at the same time are failing miserably themselves.

Many times "complaining" is actually bragging.
