Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I'm sure it's purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

The Escort was a really popular economy car in the 80's. Lots of high-mileage commuters ended up being sold or handed down to teenagers. By the late 90's the Civic had taken that role, at least where I lived.

1982 Ford Escort wagon. It had been parked under a pine tree for much of its life before I got it, and was full of pine needles and mold. Be proud of your Mini Cooper!

Damn, that's a really nice first car!

This was my first, and it was older than me when I got it:

+1 for judo if it is available in your area. It's tons of fun.

The attitude of the teacher and other students matters more than the martial arts style. You want a fun, positive environment. Sit in on a class or two and talk to the other parents about their experiences. It should quickly become apparent whether you and your 6-year-old will enjoy that particular school or not.

That's really interesting. I saw the term "international dollar" but glossed right over it.

Agreed. But it's a slow-rolling one so far. I think defiance of an order of war would boil over a bit faster.
