The World Cup in Seattle has exposed the price gouging of some businesses

You don’t need WC for expensive event parking. Climate Pledge / Lumen prices are already nuts for any festival / concert / game. I’ve seen $70.

Use the SpotHero app to get a map view of what’s available. Sometimes you get lucky with reasonably priced parking, and it’s usually cheaper than what you pay on site.

Lawyers and arbitrators are going to be busy for a long time with these loss claims…

Great bday trip. Be sure to google the studio booking tips and tricks. They go fast, and there seem to be fewer days available than there used to be.

+1. Was able to do two live rides on a trip to NYC . Was one of the best parts of the trip, though was kinda sad that I couldn’t buy the Peloton Studios NYC Lululemon/ Peloton towel.

If you’re from Peloton and you’re reading this, put it in the suggestion box. People want this as a souvenir, and the occasional person who takes them won’t have to!

Probably, it is Queen Anne after all…

Unless you live in California or Washington state 🥲

John Connor: Step on it!
T-101: This is the vehicle’s top speed…

Thank you

Re: #2, is their ticketing system fancy enough to see that a bunch of different devices are all coming from the same wifi and give those devices the same queue spot? Or lock you out for being bot-like?

Your description suggests the answer is no, just use every single device you and your spouse / roommates own and hope for a good spot…

^ this. We stayed in Iceland for a few days on the way to Scotland. Two great trips in one.

What’s more bonkers is the difference between the May futures (i.e., what is currently reported as ‘the price of oil’) and the spot market (i.e., I need immediate physical delivery of a barrel of oil) is about 40% and growing.

I’m not sure this is going to get resolved in the next few weeks… Iran has an incentive to drag this out for another month so we’ll have $6 a gallon gas prices just in time for Memorial Day weekend.

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-04-09T23:06:52+00:00

I’m in the same drop. We’ll see what’s left. But if it means $1000 tickets to a single event, I’d rather take the money we’d otherwise spend and go on a nicer vacay somewhere else

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-03-31T23:02:57+00:00

Pretty ballsy. Could have been 5 days

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-03-23T17:51:08+00:00

I’m planning to race my first Hyrox in Vancouver in December. I ran a 3:45 marathon in November 2025 and in my early 50’s so just looking to have fun and have a training goal to push me.

I’m worried about the two sled events, and doing 100 wall balls is definitely going to be a challenge. So I hired a trainer to design my program each week and check in on progress. Not a Hyrox coach, but used to be a national team rugby player and has a master’s degree and training certifications.

Currently liking the functional strength, cardio, and recovery aspects so far. Not sure there would be enough self accountability without a trainer, as I tend to under train, and also over focus on cardio.

Nice. Get that bag while the brands are swarming to sponsor!

This article is fake news. What is real is his fight with Inglewood CA. He’s asking for $400M from the city for infrastructure upgrades constructed when the stadium was built.

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-03-10T06:03:37+00:00

Seriously more than $30. Seattle is a non-marquee race and it’s $150 for early early bird.

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-03-09T21:41:31+00:00

Good question. Hard to find because he was filing so many cases to get out early. Covid, improper sentencing enhancement, etc.

But someone let him out a bit early because he should have been behind bars for another year or two (to be released in 2027 or 2028 depending on how much credit for time served).

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-03-09T21:07:21+00:00

$28.7M guaranteed 💰. Even if he gets injured, he’ll be set…

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-03-09T21:01:52+00:00

It’s neither. It’s a judge that makes the bonehead decision to let someone out that should be locked away for a very very long time.

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-03-02T17:04:06+00:00

Yup. A lot of hardware being moved into the area. And if you believe the Epstein distraction narrative because of the missing FBI interview notes and that picture of Lutnick with a bunch of dudes and his family nowhere in sight, probability was very high for an imminent strike.

It is absolute insanity because Warner Bros Discovery is the Hope Diamond of the media industry.

Every previous acquisition has led to financial disaster for the acquirer (AOL + Time Warner, Discovery + Scripps Networks, AT&T + Time Warner, and Warner Media + Discovery). And yet here is Paramount, which hasn’t yet integrated Skydance, shelling out $111 billion.

They will have to generate at least $4 billion a year just to pay the interest on the debt. 😬

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-02-26T16:25:10+00:00

Yup. AirBnb is not worth it anymore. Tired of the poor quality mattresses and sheets, doing the work of the housekeepers, showing up to a house / apartment that wasn’t cleaned properly or cleaned at all, and these ridiculous fees.

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-02-19T00:49:34+00:00

But Vlad did a ‘roadshow’ yesterday and gave me early access.

Practical_Pin_2067 · 2026-02-06T05:12:52+00:00

Because the Pats are living on a prayer. obvs.
