nothing has been done to phase out (let alone outright ban) the tobacco industry despite generations of knowledge that smoking kills.

I would bet $1000 this was a VP-level or higher decision. No way a lower-level employee makes this decision and it gets through as many layers of decision-making as this no doubt requires. Some muckity-muck made this call despite multiple people beneath him trying to steer him elsewhere.

Downtown Minneapolis is closed until further notice. No need to look that up. Just trust us.

Earnin encourages, but does not require, tipping for the service. It says that contributions from the total community keep the app going.

But that...makes sense, right? That’s how you balance out the costs among all of the covered. But for some people, having a lower deductible and higher premium makes sense because of they have more frequent, or recurring health care costs. Whereas some people who don’t have regular health care costs, will be better…

Class: a set or category of things having some property or attribute in common and differentiated from others by kind, type, or quality.

The Hippo piece is cool, but I’d really like to know how he shaved SIX SECONDS off his personal best for Tyson.

It’s really too bad the Twins’ bullpen blew it because this could have been a legend-making game for Miguel Sano. A three-run homer to put them up 8-2 and then a mammoth two-run shot to take the lead in the eighth. This is the second time this year the bullpen has blown a Twins youngster’s big home run in the ninth or…

Half of MLB is wearing these this year, for this exact reason.

I feel like I should add that this format could have screwed Mexico in 2014, when they finished 4th in the Hex by losing three of their last four matches.

She definitely knows that most insurers are nonprofit

As somebody still sitting on $120,000 in student loans, I would happily see college made free for future generations even if I was stuck with my loans.

Ah, yes, this exactly explains the perfect historical correlation between home prices and wages.

Why not both? We could repeal the 2017 tax cut, write off every student loan in the country, and still have a trillion dollars to throw around.

I honestly don’t understand this obsession with not helping struggling people just because it would also help people who aren’t struggling and I often wonder if it’s actually done in good faith.

No, the point is that 0 C isn’t some magic number that can tell you conditions. It can be 10 C in March and the lakes will still be frozen. Likewise, it can be -10 C in October but the ice won’t be near thick enough to walk on, if there’s any at all.

I don’t think it’s about applying for jobs that you have no shot at, it’s more about recognizing that most jobs won’t have a perfect candidate who fills all of the qualifications, but you might be able to fit a particular niche that they need.

I wouldn’t say that I loved the first movie, but do you know what it was?

10 little silos of exclusive content is the opposite of competition.

Just for clarification, this isn’t an actual TAS, right? That is, it’s not a computer doing the playing. ZFG is doing the playing and just stitching together the various perfect segments to show what perfect run would look like if somebody could pull it off. Am I getting that right?
