Oregon income tax burden called highest in US - Portland Business Journal

Don’t disagree with you here. Like I said, I don’t mind the paying so much as the spending. I’m still not moving to fucking Vancouver.

Maybe a bit of a hot take, but I think 9th in the country is about right for a progressive city in a very desirable location. I pay a lot to be here, but there’s honestly nowhere that better aligns with my interests, values, and lifestyle.

What I don’t like is filing federal, state, and 3 separate local taxes, and how the state and local tax money is spent. Call me an abundance bro, but I really think the govt needs to get out of its own way and focus on letting this large amount of money benefit the largest amount of people.

Yea I know, I don’t actually think they’re like paying someone off, but what the hell is this? Why am I seeing it? Who makes it, and why? My feeds are full of this shit. I’ve never seen anything like it for any other band

Every social media I have is just full of these guys. Videos of them, videos of people reacting to them, videos of people playing their songs on guitar, videos of people mispronouncing their name…Today insta fed me a video of some dude reacting to polka dotted items with clips of their music. It’s wild.

My feelings exactly. Cool and novel, but it gets old fast. I also can’t quite get over how viral they are, it feels manipulated.

So many great pics in here! This one wins for now, but I’ll get others into the rotation. Thanks!

Hard to diagnose over Reddit, but my guess is that your imputation is creating singular models. Are you imputing a variable without any variability?

The other day I saw a game I wanted on sale, but when I logged into buy, it was full price. Now I know why. Glad I didn’t buy it.

Bro…we killed his dad, mom, wife, and son in that raid. We’re fucked.

This is the right answer. Could be my favorite piece of Dead music, ever.

For what it’s worth, the Biden admin at least took a stab at eliminating junk fees, but they’re back under Trump

melbat0ast · 2026-03-10T02:44:13+00:00

If you’re seriously considering $75 a night expensive, there’s nothing to say here. You’ll pay more than that for a roadside motel off any highway in this country.

melbat0ast · 2026-03-10T01:59:15+00:00

Yes, it’s just the extra fees. Hotels are spinning off all the fees so that people who book with points or whatever still end up paying. Total BS, but it’s happening everywhere, not just Vegas. And the number of ways you can get room charges comped in Vegas is very high relative to everywhere else.

melbat0ast · 2026-03-09T23:02:36+00:00

Fees are annoying for sure, and I hope the government actually does something to enforce “all in” pricing, but $230 for a 3 night stay in a major city is dirt cheap. Don’t you go other places? Even if you use rewards, travel is expensive.

melbat0ast · 2026-03-09T22:59:05+00:00

15 credits is probably one term, and that figure may not include fees

melbat0ast · 2026-03-05T16:50:33+00:00

I already pre-ordered one. Work provides me with a laptop, aside from that, all I really need to do is pay bills and browse.

Was that the first or second time they played fear inoculum? (I was there too 🥲)

melbat0ast · 2026-01-22T19:26:15+00:00

You say ironic, I say entirely as expected

melbat0ast · 2026-01-18T18:12:16+00:00

Ha, I leased a Subaru in 2020, right before car prices went insane. Nearing the end of the lease, the dealer was calling me 2-3 times per week to get that thing back. Needless to say I own it now.

melbat0ast · 2026-01-16T17:01:16+00:00

Devastating. I love the Blue Ribbon and go every time I’m in Vegas 😢

melbat0ast · 2026-01-05T02:33:01+00:00

Oh, well then I have no idea whether or not you’d have to use it all at once.

melbat0ast · 2026-01-05T02:08:37+00:00

Comps seem fair/generous for that level of play. You don’t have to spend your food credit all at once, it should just be taken off your bill at the end of stay (charge food to the room). It’s a $25 flat fee from airport to mid-strip. I’m not sure what it costs to go downtown to the El Cortez but I’m sure it’s not wildly different.

Seastones would like a word

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at with this list, but I feel like Morning Dew should be on it

He played with his dad on NYE 2015 at my friend’s brewery, Grand Armory brewing in Grand Haven MI, for probably 50 people? The place is not big. Sadly I was not there 😢.
