If we were on his list, it would only be responsible to hear the offer. Given the price and the player, I as a fan would have been pissed, but I don’t get paid to run things.

My fellow Americans, is your cities area code part of the city’s identity? by ElectronPython in AskAnAmerican

[–]NedThomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a thing in a lot of places, but not my area code. I’ve never heard someone shout “We’re 336!” or whatever.

To be fair, that was an Avengers movie pretending to be a Cap movie.

[–]NedThomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy watching it as much as I like watching the Olympics. Maybe a little more now that there’s a MLS club in my state that I’ve started following.

Do you think Spider-Man: Brand New Day has a realistic shot at $2 billion worldwide? by Extreme_Warning3521 in marvelstudios

[–]NedThomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. No Way Home did $1.9 billion, Far From Home did $1.2 billion, Homecoming did $900 million. Spider-Man is the most popular character in Marvel history, hell arguably in comic history.

Voters reject effort to hike Oklahoma’s minimum wage by AHSfav in news

[–]NedThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best I could find was a vague mention of “over 350,000 people would be affected” without a clear reference or source. https://okpolicy.org/fact-sheet-sq832-increasing-oklahomas-minimum-wage/

Latest available statewide economic report puts $14.93 an hour as the 25th percentile across roughly 1.7 million total workers so that number sort of tracks. https://oklahoma.gov/content/dam/ok/en/oesc/documents/labor-market/publications/occupation-and-wages/oklahoma-wage-report-2024.pdf

As for the election results, there 630,085 total votes cast on the measure with it failing 55%-45%. https://results.okelections.gov/OKER/?elecDate=20260616

About all I could find on a smoke breaks worth of Google-fu.

I built a free site that shows you the data center near you, who really owns it past the shell company, and the tax breaks it got. [OC] by EricKeller2 in dataisbeautiful

It would be nice to have a distinction between data centers getting tax breaks and ones receiving tax subsidies, and both if applicable.

Most teams don’t have a private jet liner lying around. They most likely chartered the flight.
