It's such a weird system. The city pays for all the upkeep, while the team owners get a ton of money from consessions, advertising, est.
If the proceeds from the games were actually going back into the city, I might be a little more willing. But like you said, it's a bad investment. I'd be very surprised if the city is even able to break even. And then, if the owners even decide to move the team, taxpayers just spent a ton of money for nothing.

If you think your speed is reasonable you're not driving fast enough. We all should be driving in our zone of proximal development.

I think I’m just gonna go for my associates for now. I’ve heard good and bad things about the program. But personally I’ve never actually been to college. I’m 25, and just needing to find my career lol.

I used A+ to get my associates of arts in teaching. had a 3.5gpa and was in the honors program. My memories of OTC are better than MSU.

Utility prices have shot up in the past two years or so. I remember it starting when they had to do rolling blackouts

For the record, if you are driving and going 5 below the speed limit and there is a dashed yellow line telling me I can legally pass you in a straightaway, I am going to.
So flash your lights all you want, honk. Fucking drive. Stop going 15 down a 30 because you plan on turning a few roads down.

I do. People still tailgate me. Even when they have the opportunity to pass. The left lane is open. They don't go around

> You clearly were just looking for the slightest excuse to tell the world that you’re a great driver and everybody else just needs to practice.
This is true actually, and sadly.

Nice try. Go do it yourself if you actually care.

Our level pay just went up neqrly $7000 a year, you end up paying the same in the end. They credit your account if you pay too much, and they will both raise your rate to pay anything you would have had to pay otherwise in addition to raising it to reflect their new rates. Had this all explained when I called.

Jesus Christ the tailgating down here is a nightmare. I'm going almost 10 over the speed limit. Driver's still be like "I'm gonna ride the dude's ass"
It's not going to get you anywhere faster. It's just going to destroy both our cars when I have to break

Thank god I live in Tennessee where driving in the left lane is legal and encouraged if right lane traffic is slow

"Stay right except to pass" is mostly only applicable on the freeway. If you're on a road where someone may need to make a left or right turn at any time, there should be no expectation of them moving to the right lane just because you want to go faster than them. On the freeway though... it's "stay right except to pass. Not "stay right unless you think you're going a reasonable speed".

>Bad investment if you actually do the research.
You've already done it, so I won't waste the time. Post up the .pdf of that and the homeless remediation plan you've got cooking.

Doubt it. Minor league isn’t the same as major league. Bad investment if you actually do the research.

It's going to pay for itself in the long term, unlike throwing money down a black hole.

If it is a rental, ask the landlord if extra insulation was ever added. If the side of the house is old asbestos siding, the only way to add insulation is in the attic.
Do you feel drafts anywhere?

Unfortunately thats normal for this time of year in an older house.
My house is an old house and its a rental with a landlord that won't update anything. My bill is usually 200-250 this time of year. My house temp is set to 65. Plastic over my windows help a bit but its always gas thats super expensive.

> following rules shall govern the overtaking and passing of vehicles proceeding in the same direction on Missouri non-highway roads, city streets and byways, subject to all vehicles minus exceptions hereinafter stated
What statute are you citing?

For $100 you can buy a Red Access ticket to get into every single home game. There’s like 70 home games a year. General admission tickets can be bought for like $7. The last couple years they’ve added special happy hour beer pricing before many of the games. They constantly have giveaways that are the same as you get in St Louis. You can’t ask for much better value than they’re offering.
