I don’t think they mean they’re spending $250. Like they feel the need to earn $250 every working day, otherwise they can’t pay rent or whatever. Equates to an income of $65k.

Most businesses to chase the whale customers.

It would make more sense in the opposite order. The first tab with that headline breaks them down. Just under half of the total ticket price is a non-refundable ‘carrier interface charge.’

I could probably remove this in my account settings somewhere right? But the point is that it’s a bad feature. It’s not reliably accurate. It makes stuff up.

Reminds me of when my ISP who was “no contract” had a cancellation fee. Like I have to pay money to stop being billed? Something about that feels very backwards.

Considering how many military roles he had, I’m going with Lt. Col. J.B. “Johnny the Duke” Thomas

John Wayne played so many characters named “John” “Wayne” or “Duke.” So many that I just tried to count how many roles and I lost track. I counted twice and got two different numbers, but I believe my final tally is 39 roles.

Bruce Almighty? His most memorable role.
- Comment on Are the 2020 tick marks where ALL voting in 2020 landed? Or just where early/mail-in voting landed? 3 months ago:
Yes, like a mail in vote that arrived on election day. It wouldn’t be included in today’s “early voting” numbers, but it would have been included in the total number of mail in votes in 2020 that I’m comparing it too. But don’t expect a big change.
The 2020 numbers might be deceiving and impossible to compare to. Mail in voting was heavily expanded, which skewed Democrat, so early voting results in 2020 skewed Democrat. Then election day skewed more Republican than normal too. It’s not going to follow that exact pattern again.
- Comment on Are the 2020 tick marks where ALL voting in 2020 landed? Or just where early/mail-in voting landed? 3 months ago:
Looks like the 2020 ticks are including mail in voting in 2020, which was heavily expanded during the pandemic. Places like North Carolina and Texas have immediately gone back to restricting absentee ballots. So yes there are less early votes, because they’ve gone back to restricting mail ballots.
Here I see there were just over 1 million votes by mail in North Carolina in 2020. Here I see that there were about 240,000 votes by mail in North Carolina through the 2nd. You could probably find a more up to date number, but you get the idea.

Simpsons did it!
“Well, frankly, test scores like Larry’s would call for a very generous contribution. For example, a score of 400 would require a donation of new football uniforms, 300, a new dormitory, and in Larry’s case, we would need an international airport.”
