I can tell you read the article and are making some valid and completely on-topic points.

People always hold up Seattle as some sort of cautionary tale of what happens when local governments don't pay professional sports league stadium ransom, but Seattle seems like it's done alright since then.

I've never gotten the whole "gang-showers" thing. Even if you don't have adults in there with kids/youths — how is that a good idea?!? If I were tasked with coming up with a setup designed to psychologically and possibly physically scar teenagers, I literally couldn't think of a better way to do it. Let's take…

Fellow EV driver in GA. I'm on board with it being treated the same as other cars, but here in GA they are talking about a yearly EV reg fee of $200 which is vastly disproportionate to what the equivalent ICE driver spends in gas taxes.

Why the higher registration fee? The mileage thing I get, but it sounds like you're just being punitive with a higher reg fee..

Georgia is considering a $200/yr EV registration tax which is, forgive the expression, highway robbery. Current gas tax is $.24/gallon. So $200 is the equivalent of 833 gallons of gasoline (200/.24). Figuring 30mpg, that works out to 25,0000 miles/yr or 68 miles/day every day. On a heavy day, I'm going maybe 50…

I think though that Coinstar now gives you full credit for the amount if you accept either store credit or a gift card. So in a way you are paying for your groceries cent-by-cent. Maybe not as satisfying as "sticking it to the man" but, ehh...whaddyagonnado?

Wish id seen this post first before I made mine. It grinds my gears so bad that this is one of the first things that people mention about them. To me it always comes across as a subtle/not so subtle dig. My personal crusade is to get folks if a progressive liberal bent to stop bringing this up. We might as well…

Thank you! This always gets mentioned as some sort of snide indictment of both of them, like "Harhar...FDR married his cousin derpderp...effete liberals are so morally bankrupt they'll marry their cousins ergo everything that he did is suspect.". The reality is that their common ancestor was from the 1680s. Which…

It sounds like the kind of joke show they would have had on 30 Rock to illustrate how anything would get approved - MILF Island, Whore Score, Black Hitler

Is it just me or are baseball players the new professional bowlers in terms of hairstyles / general appearance? I realize that these are the "awkward" photos but without a doubt that is the homeliest group of professional athletes I've ever seen.

Thank you! I was wondering how it went unremarked that he was clearly holding doogan just out of frame in that picture.

You seem well-adjusted and not at all emotionally stunted. Your logic is sound. All these nimrods blathering on about not supporting their team via the confiscatory power of the state are just pussies who don't understand what it means to support their teams.

Should have seen that coming.

Very, very little of it? "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" was just published in the year or two before he ran for office and before that he had become known PRIMARILY for his unabashedly leftish political statements and positions. While it might be true in reference to his entire oeuvre, that "very, very…

"When I was in high school, I would read the purple and red sections of USA Today..."

you did read the part where this wasn't required for ALL developments, right? Only if you as a developer want to build something over a certain size AND are asking for tax breaks or other incentives is the city now suggesting that perhaps instead of just taking your word for it that you'll deliver the jobs, economic…

Also, are the tags still attached to the underside of the hat bill? And we're not going to talk about the weird upper lip shading?

thanks Barry lankin!

I know we're supposed to be somewhat nudge-nudge-wink-wink mocking him for being a big, dumb idiot but I'll be damned if I had to wish for my kids garden variety Ivy league smarts or Gronk level athleticism that allows them to live this sort of lifestyle where you can apparently make millions of dollars a year doing…
