This question baffles me because it seems like a total non-issue to me as a European. How do Americans get stuff for their house around? Do you not have delivery or truck/van/trailer rental services, and are all your appliances (and not just fridges/freezers which are apparently hilariously big in the US) so American-sized that you can't fit them in an average family hatchback/crossover/SUV? Or do you regularly move all of your stuff from one house to another?

Laughs in European

I've never had to pay extra for hotspot usage even though all of the phones I've had were bought directly from the service provider.

And before that, they were in a separate section like they are now, but it had a thing you could click to hide that section entirely for 30 days.

Just because it's less bad than the previous thing doesn't mean it's good.

Wooden spatulas are supposed to look rough though. It somehow feels wrong to cook with a spatula that has no battle scars.

Nothing wrong with using off-the-shelf gamepads for an application like this. They're cheap, surprisingly reliable, compact, and use the same communication protocol so you can easily bring multiple controllers made by different manufacturers for redundancy. And it doesn't matter if your primary control interface is a $50 gamepad or a $10k custom setup, you should still have a completely separate backup system.

It's easier. You need enough room for the nose to swing around because the front wheels follow a wider trajectory than the rear wheels. The access road is usually much wider than the parking spots, so backing into the spot gives you much more room to maneuver.

You also have much better visibility overall. If you go in nose first, you can't see the front corners of your car, and you also have terrible visibility when backing out of the spot. If you back in, the mirrors show you exactly how close you are to the cars around you, and you have an unobstructed view when you leave.

My dad gave me a cheap radio receiver that plugs into the USB port on a computer, and I built an antenna for receiving images from weather satellites.

Here's the antenna (it's just a plastic pipe, a couple pieces of perforated steel strap and some threaded rods, nuts and washers):

And here are some of the images I received yesterday from the NOAA-19 and NOAA-15 satellites respectively (with a map overlay):
