That is a lot of money for a state.

In Minnesota, we raised sales tax for a county of 1.2 million people for 20 years to pay $355 million for the Twins stadium.

This money could fund schools, or public transportation, or just tax cut for the people that actually need the money.

Increase the millionaire tax.

What?!

There is a major chance this contaminates the food. It is very likely that this thing is still dripping unless it was 100% perfectly wrung out, which I doubt, especially since the person using it was dumb enough to hold it above food. There's also the mentioned particulate falling off, which is pretty much a given if you're ever seen a McDonald's floor. Not to mention who knows what that mop was used for- an overflowing toilet in the bathroom, garbage water from a leaky trash bag, dog poop dragged in from someone's shoe.

I have mopped floors of restaurants. They are disgusting. And they most certainly do not use > good> mops. Restaurants cut corners wherever possible.

How about banning them entirely.

If you have a roommate the price is halved. A 1 bedroom apartment isn't much of a discount. Last I checked a 2 bedroom apartment is (for example) $1,500 month. A 1 bedroom apartment is $1,350 month. Apartments have a bathroom, kitchen, living room, etc. It's not just the bedroom.

That album cover is really cool. I'm suddenly very interested in that style... Never liked the band though.

And TIL about an ironic death. Ouch. That's brutal.

I have a friend who bought one 6 years ago. He paid like $6k for the feature and recently traded in for a new one because he could keep the self driving license for free.

He says it never really worked that week and is worse on the new vehicle because cheapskate switched from lidar to cameras to save money. Also, he has 3 of 5 "strikes" toward a ban, because your need to keep you have on the wheel and eyes on the road. That's right, a creepy camera watches you. He says at least 2 are false positives.

Not exactly "Full self driving," and Tesla doesn't exactly look like they've been working on it

I have no idea why people still buy anything from Musk.

If you have the intelligence to realize you're wrong and the strength to admit it, then you are better than most people.

That's what I don't understand. Don't like Biden? I get that. Undying loyalty to Trump? What? Why? Just listen to him speak. He's an incoherent idiot.

I dunno, but the dude dated a 17 year old highschool girl when he was 38. That's gross enough that any school should stay away from him.

I thought we didn't say Indian anymore?

We should be so lucky. Plenty of games (and movies) already have ad placements. The NHL recently added fucking banner ads with motion to the boards. I can't even watch that shit anymore.

Firefox doesn't have an extension for that yet.

Fuck. Advertising.
