I’ve had pretty serious connectivity issues with the ‘21 A4 as well: having to turn on and off the MMI, Airplane Mode the phone to try and reset, and even when it DOES work, there’s a noticeable delay between car on and CarPlay being available.
Let’s not forget the fun prompt of whether you want to use the car’s data plan, which if you haven’t subscribed will make your phone unable to stream music.
I'm pretty sure this study was mentioned in a recent episode of EconTalk, where the guest was talking about statistical significance, p-hacking, etc. I'm Jamaican, so I perked up when it came up.
> There's no need to know the singular for pierogi, because no one has ever eaten just one.
Ain't that the truth! My Polish friend also introduced me to 'pierogi rooski'? Apparently, a Russian take on pierogi, with more meat. Do I have the spelling correct?
> In return, I promise to continue working to stop Polish people from pluralizing potato chips as "chipsy".
As a Jamaican, where banana chips are like a national snack, it was amusing to see "chipsy bananowe" for sale. Fun times; I plan to go back.

If you mean "pierogi ruskie", they don't have any meat in them, just quark
with potatoes and onion, though they're often served with bacon. And this dish
comes from "Ruś" (now Ukraine), not "Rosja", otherwise it would be called
"pierogi rosyjskie". I hear that in Ukraine they call this dish "Polish
pierogi".

I believe "it" was not a Jamaican, however amusing it was.
Adding to the other comments: the closest thing that can be described as "Russian take on pierogi" is pelmeni. In Ukrainian cuisine, it would be vareniki.
Confusingly, Russian does have the word "pirogi" (plural; singular "pirog") - but it's a kind of pie, not a dumpling.
I spent two weeks in Poland last summer. Might I recommend Zakopane, hell, the entire Tatra Mountains region while we're at it? Absolutely spectacular.
I'm Jamaican. My mom (64) says that when she was growing up, it was standard practice to hammer nails into the soles of the dead, so their spirits couldn't "walk".
My late grandmother (Trinidadian) used to tell a story of a funeral procession where the body sat up in the coffin (something to do with the bandaged, poorly-embalmed body swelling in the heat?).
Apparently the locals wouldn't approach the body for some time afterwards, for fear it was 'walking'.
I'm from Jamaica, and grew up eating lots of lychees as well. Never had any problems. Only ate them ripe. I haven't had fresh lychees in years though, mostly now buying the canned ones in syrup from China.
The owners of lychee trees, however, had tons of issues. It's such a loved fruit that if you had such a tree, it was pretty much guaranteed that praedial thieves would strike. It got so bad that I remember one nurse in the community cutting down her tree when the sight of strange men roaming her yard became too much.
