One involves taking Lyft XL rides, which are designed to transport up to five passengers at once. Families going to or from a port before or after a cruise, for example, need larger vehicles than most Lyft drivers can provide. Afterward, he found out that Lyft had issued him a "warning" curtailing his ability to take scheduled rides on the app. Fourteen days later, he said, he was able to set up scheduled rides again. "If you want to just continue to do the scheduled rides, it makes it very challenging," he added.

Read previewInvestors should stay on guard as this market rally loses steam, a veteran strategy chief says. The investment chief and the chief market strategist signaled in April that US equities had an attractive risk-reward setup after a 5.5% selloff. "All those factors combined suggest maybe a choppier market, even though we still think the long-term bull market is intact," Lerner said. "In the fall, I think investors will eventually come back to tech because I still think that's the main secular theme of this bull market," Lerner said. "But I don't know that this is a game changer for this bull market where small caps will be leadership."

It’s becoming harder to get — and keep — a car

Cook did the math, made a pros and cons list, and bought a new car. Courtesy Greg CookHis car — the monthly payment, the fast-rising insurance, fuel and maintenance costs — takes up a 30% share of his monthly budget. And buying a car is no cakewalk either: Credit is increasingly harder to come by and rejection rates are spiking. Instead, consumers have been presented with a higher bar, including requirements for a heftier down payment and a higher credit score, he said. More restrictive lending typically equates to approval rates going down and rejection rates rising.

Biden on Sunday also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him in the Oval Office. In the days following the debate, Biden faced growing pressure to step aside, with an increasing number of Democratic politicians urging the 81-year-old president to do so. Polling had long shown Biden trailing Trump both nationally and in key swing states, and the debate represented a key opportunity for the president to turn the race around.

Rucking appealed to me because it seemed like a simple way to make my daily lunchtime walks more efficient. That said, it doesn't look like a normal backpack, so I did get a few strange looks as I strolled around the rural village where I live on a weekday lunchtime. It felt very different from carrying a normal backpack, too, likely due to the weight and its positioning. AdvertisementI also learned that the ruck isn't something I will just always throw on when going for my daily walk. It ended up being a great workout, and definitely left me with aching muscles the next day.

However, not all residents of Forks' roughly 3,400-strong population are happy about the attention their hometown is getting, with some locals hitting out at "vampire tourism," The Times of London reported. "I work at the local school — which the Twilight characters 'went to' — and they'd be out there, crying about how much they loved this vampire guy." At the height of the "Twilight" hysteria, Forks wasted no time in embracing its new fame, with new "Twilight" tours showing off famous locations from the films. AdvertisementMeyer chose to set "Twilight" in Forks after searching Google for the place with the highest rainfall levels in the US. The spot provided the perfect setting for her vampire characters, who mustn't be exposed to sunlight, so they could go about their lives without being detected by humans.

The selection of Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate suggests that the answer is yes. Even the most successful political parties are coalitions of odd bedfellows and competing interests. The Republican Party we saw in Milwaukee this past week has been fundamentally changed. With Mr. Vance at his back, leading a new counterestablishment that Mr. Vance helped shape, Mr. Trump has cemented his legacy — and transformed the Republican Party. Until recently, there was no counterestablishment in the Republican Party.

2022's "Top Gun: Maverick" was much better than it had any right to be. "Top Gun: Maverick." "Top Gun: Maverick," released a whopping 36 years later — after many COVID-related delays — somehow improves upon every aspect of the original. "Maverick" was not only the second-biggest movie of 2022, it also overtook "Titanic" as Paramount's highest-grossing domestic film, has a staggering 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, and is now the highest-grossing film of Cruise's storied career, according to Deadline. It's the gold standard of all legacy sequels from now until the end of time.

Betty Gordon is perhaps the world’s most unlikely first-time children’s book author. For decades she lived at the center of a bohemian New York that has long ago faded into mythology. A glamorous and witty feminist — friends describe her as a modern-day Mae West crossed with Dorothy Parker — Betty mingled with artists, writers and entertainers. She even had a romance with one of the most famous undercover cops of all time. It may seem an odd way to start a writing career, but Betty had her reasons.

A Fossil Mystery, Solved by a Spin

A Fossil Mystery, Solved by a SpinEssexella fossils date back to the Carboniferous period, when northern parts of Illinois hovered just above the equator. Essexella fossils are composed of two structures — a textured, barrel-shaped region and a smooth bulb. “It looked like the bottom of an anemone,” Dr. Plotnick said. Dr. Plotnick, Dr. Hagadorn and their team redescribed Essexella as an ancient anemone last year in the journal Papers in Palaeontology. Dr. Plotnick posits that these animals once lined the floor of the Mazon Creek estuary.

And yet one of the men, former President Donald Trump, 78, has been able to remake the Republican Party around his own divisive persona. Trump, between now and then, will pick a vice president from a short list of people who have previously criticized him but are now all in. Doug Burgum, who are also reportedly on Trump’s vice presidential short list, should be wary. A CNN poll released back in February, before Trump had sealed the Republican presidential nomination, suggested his top Republican rival, former South Carolina Gov. If Biden dropped out, Clyburn said he would back Vice President Kamala Harris.
