fwiw I think “monthly” is frequent enough for people to notice.

Otoh, there is the social contagion effect. I saw many posts on my city’s subreddit over the summer about electricity prices. Even if they don’t really track their own pricing ppl talk about it which matters for perception

The guy with the auger isn’t too happy. “Dammit, you dynamite hounds,” he screams, “this is sinful, don’t you know the Angler’s Creed forbids this kind of thing?”

KA-BOOM. And then some. Addressing every bone in Hicks’s body, including the one just under his hat. A colorful and earsplitting fountain of ice, blood, silt, factory waste, and pieces of perch, pike, whitefish, and two or three varieties of trout meanwhile hurtling skyward, the echo racketing away

Intermediate tracks (Kansas being a liked track) are seen as the most competitive in NASCAR atm but for a non-oval understander they can be a little bit hard to watch

NASCAR races on superspeedways (Daytona, Talladega, etc) have visually striking racing because they’re close the whole time and wrecks are huge.

Short tracks (Richmond, Martinsville, Iowa, etc. anything 1 mile or less) have more jostling and leaders moving through traffic
