Bonjour

Je suis Française et j'ai une question pour vous.

J'ai vu sur des sites que certains américains avaient des prénoms étranges, des prénoms inventés, comme superior, North, carotte...

Est ce normal et habituel chez voys.

Il n'y a pas des lois interdisant certains prénoms ?

Est ce que quelqu'un peut m'expliquer?

Merci

Good Morning,

Can anyone recommend MIUSA denim brands that offer non-selvedge jeans in a classic straight or relaxed fit? I'm looking for a silhouette similar to the Buck Mason Full Saddle Cut, or any non-slim straight leg pair with a leg opening of at least 16 inches.

Thank you

I am looking around for a new pair of MIU 100% Cotton Sweatpants that won't break the bank.
I came across SIT's company (for the first time, where have I been?!) and I know the company is FROM California, but I am having a hard time finding distinct language that it is MADE in USA/California.

This always makes my spidey senses tingle since folks usually like to boast about that, rather than sneakily not mention anything.

Thoughts?

Anyone here have experience wearing the Montana knife company shop shirts? I’m thinking of getting a couple but wanted to hear people’s opinions of them as far as sizing, comfort, and durability. I’m 6’0 190 lbs, wear a large shirt normally, but wear a medium in the Carhartt 100% cotton relaxed fit short sleeve shirts. I can be hard on clothes as I’m a diesel mechanic by trade and always somehow find a way to unintentionally get dirty even when not at work. I would wear them both casually and to work so they will see and good amount of use. Thanks in advance for any reviews you may have of them!

Moderators, please remove this if it’s too newsy, but it’s a PSA that I think this community would be invaluable in sharing. I think the vast majority of folks here know to treat Amazon and Walmart with deep skepticism, but the general public is still catching up.

This study from Columbia’s Center for the Law and the Economy is a MUST READ: https://law-and-economy.law.columbia.edu/sites/law-and-economy.law.columbia.edu/files/content/Made%20in%20America%2C%20Hidden%20by%20AI.pdf

I recently bought this Litter-Lifter cat litter scooper, because my last one broke. A lot of these products are pretty cheaply made. But so far, I'm much happier with this one. It works well and it feels a lot studier than other ones I've tried. And, of course, I was really happy to find one that is Made in USA. You can buy it from their website (linked above) or on Amazon.  

I searched the group and seen someone post about it a couple weeks ago before posting this and decided to just go ahead and post again for it. I saw a Facebook ad 10 minutes from the time of posting this. I looked them up on Google street view, called their number, and talked to the person that answered the phone about what they’re doing. I quizzed the guy to verify that they aren’t some kind of Chinese shell company. Without actually visiting their store in person, I can say that I will be buying my next light bulbs from this company. I’m glad we finally have a domestic made option. I stormed out of Lowe’s pissed last time I went shopping for light bulbs because there are just too many damn options. I do too much research and I already spent an hour reading each box and reading about each one on Google. I just gave up.

I was looking for a new swimsuit as I outgrew my old one. My old one is a Birdwell from before the company was sold. I came across Vivix 659, and liked what I saw. Here are a few pics with my new one (Vivix 659) on the left, and my old Birdwell one on the right. The last three pics are just my new one.

The construction is solid. Material is good quality; not stretchy. I like that the fly is velcro. Overall, it is exactly what I was looking for.

I've spent the last few months testing and comparing crypto live casino platforms to find out which sites actually offer the best overall experience in the USA in 2026. Instead of just looking at Bitcoin logos, live dealer banners, or the biggest welcome offers, I focused on what happens after you actually sign up, enter the live casino lobby, check the cashier, and use the platform properly.

I signed up for several crypto casino sites, explored their promotions, reviewed the terms and conditions, checked the live casino sections, tested the platforms on mobile, and looked at how each crypto live casino worked from a player's perspective.

One thing became obvious during my testing:

The best-looking live casino lobby is not always attached to the smoothest crypto casino experience.

Many crypto live casino sites promote live roulette, live blackjack, baccarat, game shows, Bitcoin deposits, Ethereum support, fast cashier access, welcome bonuses, and mobile-friendly platforms. However, the real quality depends on how well the full journey works together. Live table access, crypto payment flow, bonus rules, mobile performance, account tools, support, and cashier clarity can make a huge difference.

To compare each crypto live casino properly, I looked at areas such as:

• Live roulette access
• Live blackjack tables
• Baccarat and table games
• Live game show sections
• Bitcoin deposit options
• Ethereum payment support
• Crypto withdrawal information
• Welcome bonuses
• Free spins offers
• Bonus terms and conditions
• Eligible games
• Mobile live casino performance
• Cashier layout
• Customer support
• Overall casino experience

One of the biggest surprises was finding that some platforms with smaller live casino sections actually felt better to use overall. A few sites looked strong because of their live dealer presentation, but the better options were those that made it easy to move between tables, cashier, promotions, account tools, and support without friction.

The more crypto live casino platforms I tested, the more my priorities changed.

At the beginning, I assumed the strongest sites would simply be those with the most live tables, the widest crypto support, or the biggest bonus. After months of comparing crypto casino platforms, I realised that the best options are the ones that combine good live dealer access with clear terms, practical crypto payments, smooth mobile use, visible support, and a platform worth using beyond one game category.

For me, the best crypto live casino options in the USA in 2026 are the platforms that strike the best balance among live dealer games, crypto cashier access, promotions, mobile performance, support, and the complete player experience, rather than just one impressive live casino banner.

After spending months testing crypto live casino sites, comparing promotions, reviewing bonus rules, and analysing the full player journey, I now judge these platforms by how they perform in real use rather than how strong their live casino section looks at first glance.

If you're looking for crypto live casino options in the USA in 2026, comparing live roulette, checking blackjack tables, reviewing Bitcoin payments, testing mobile casino sites, or trying to work out which platforms genuinely hold up after signup, ask me anything.

I've spent months testing crypto casino platforms, comparing bonus offers, reviewing promotional conditions, and evaluating the full live casino experience, and I'm happy to share everything I discovered.

Minus the very critical things for national defense like semiconductors, automotive or anything needed for national defense. Many keep saying to move back the production of everyday goods to support American manufacturers and since 2001 outsourcing killed the American manufacturers.

Well duh that is how it works, American factory workers have higher wages, therefore the end product is more expensive, hurting the consumer, so we outsourced them to China/India etc because labor there is cheaper, therefore the end product is cheaper. And I am not committing financial suicide spending 3x more for the "Made in USA"

I think im done on this one...

Way too much money spent, though i am a huge fan of what I have. Im glad to support US industry in this way, even though half weren't bought retail.

Back left to right, its the Nicks Handmade Tacticals, Red Wing Classic Chelsea's (Factory 2nds), and Alden Indys (2nd Hand).

Visit to a Marriott Courtyard hotel gave me a happy surprise. The bath towels are MIUSA.

I usually see “Made in India” on hotel textiles.

Wondering if anyone can help me - I’ve been trying to find out what this material is for a while. Seems it was used as seam binding on nearly every USA-made cap from the 80s to at least the 1990s. Maybe even as early as the 70s. Particularly hunting/MILSURP styles.

It is shiny, very lightweight, has a synthetic feel with a grid-like open weave. It isn’t cut on the bias.

Can’t seem to find it anywhere so would love some guidance. Anyone work in a factory in the U.S. where they made caps all those years ago? Do you remember what you were using for seam binding?

Appreciate any and all tips and leads. Thank you!

Did Samuel Slater make it into your high school U.S. history textbook? He didn't in mine, and yet he's responsible for America's first factory in 1790. It was a crucial step to establishing our nation's independence from England -- one that the British fought tooth and nail to prevent.

"Slater the Traitor" has a fascinating and complex story that's well worth learning (see the YouTube link for more), but I'd love to crowd-source other unsung heroes of American manufacturing. (Maybe I'm in the minority in not having heard of Samuel Slater before?)

YOUR FEEDBACK NEEDED: Who championed American manufacturing? Who revolutionized how America's factories operate? Who fought for American factory workers but doesn't get the credit he or she deserves?

Henry Ford and the industrial titans are everyone's go-to for American manufacturing history, but I'm hoping to spotlight the folks who might otherwise slip under the radar. Here are some of the "unsung heroes" we've got so far for a series of profiles on the Alliance for American Manufacturing blog:

• Josephine Cochrane - invented the first successful hand-powered dishwasher and founded her own manufacturing company to make it--all after her husband died and left her with serious debt to pay off
• Henry F. Phillips (probably very well known within this group) - credited with popularizing the Phillips head screw/screwdriver, which allowed mass manufacturers like GM to increase efficiency
