So on electric we paid 12x more in fees and service charges than we did for the electricity itself, and about 3x more in fees and service charges on the gas. That is just ridiculous.

I’m in MPLS. For work I manage software products; for music I like electronics, hip hop, etc; I watch tv and movies; complain about politics; and I have a cat.
Claude refusing to violate TOS is not ‘moral arbitration’ — also if you’re asking me to imagine a world where our machines won’t perpetuate hate, then yeah let me live in that fantasy.
Anil Dash@anildash.com · last wk.Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.
Has anyone ever tried scooping peanut butter with an ice cream scoop? Does it even work?
Maybe one benefit though is I don’t see any local pol ads since they don’t think I live here.

No MPD boss man Frey? What good is a strong mayor then?

Me and my fellow millennials causally signing along (under our breath) to “Teenage Dirtbag” while hanging out at the donut shop on a Saturday morning.
Our July Bingo-rama continues tonight in our air-conditioned and air-purified social hall. $5 to play two cards for most of the evening to win prizes. (A few cash games cost extra). $5 also gets you a hot dog meal deal: dog, chips, FRESH cookie, lemonade. Cafe opens 5:30. Bingo 6:00-8:45.
Three types of cops at this Seattle light rail stop: county, transit, private security. Cool.
Erling Haaland and the rest of the Norwegian men's team are paid the same as the women's team. In 2017, they took a voluntary pay cut to allow the women's pay to be increased. The move came from the players' union, not management.
In particular, there are roving crews on rented electric scooters, always in groups of three.
Dude there IS life downtown. Even on a Sunday, people walking around, looking for shit to do after their show, club, etc. What’re they met with? “FOR LEASE”
Anyone want my extra ticket for Crystal Method & Paul Oakenfold tonight (right now) at First Ave?
I finally have something to contribute to the paper maps discourse! Someone just stopped me to ask me how to use the GPS on their phone. Does that count?
North America is out of the cup now, right? Do we still have to finish hosting it?
lol I was JUST about to type “fuck it, let them just have another point, why not”
Anyone have a good location along east lake to watch the Mexico game?
Imagine if the US makes it to the World Cup, and then the miraculously clumsy attempt at patriotism when the skydiver with the American flag in tow crashes to their death in the stands of the stadium.
I’ve noticed a few of our customers using clearly LLM generated emails to try to bully their way into discounts or cancelations, etc. The tone is always so adversarial. You get them on the phone and they’re entirely reasonable. I want to shake them… don’t let AI make you think I’m an asshole.
Minneapolis: who is working on the safety of the folks hanging out under 55 on Cedar? That’s not safe for anyone, but I don’t want to complain to the city cause we know they’re good for nothing.
I applaud Panama for bringing their goalie up for that corner kick.
Why does Messi always look so happy? Shouldn’t he looked tired sometimes?
Messi is 38. I’m 38. I just got carded at the bar, does Messi still get carded?
Have you ever noticed mosquito bites flare back up and itch like hell before bed? Apparently it’s because of your circadian rhythm turning down your cortisol to prepare for sleep. Cortisol had been keeping the bites in check during the day. I just learned while scratching the flesh from my body.
Serious question: are there microphones in the soccer balls? The ‘thumps’ are so well equalized.
