Chicago Avenue-Taxpayer Stadium in the news.

'The Legislature created the electronic games to pay for the $350 million state share of the stadium. They were so successful the state debt was repaid 23 years early and lawmakers decided to put future proceeds into the general fund.

'That move frustrated Sen. Jeremy Miller, R-Winona, who’s also a sponsor of the bill, because he says lawmakers initially intended for some e-pulltab revenue to be used for stadium upkeep.

'“This is an asset of the state of Minnesota and it is our responsibility to maintain the stadium,” Miller said.'

I rented a new VW for a few weeks while my car was being fixed. More modern, but so many features are more annoying than anything. Even when there are buttons, there are so many of them for all the auto nonsense, it's no longer a driver's car. You should be able to control everything without taking your eyes off the road and while in motion. The engines were nice though.

These Modern Features That Are Actually Making Cars Worse jalopnik.com/1842810/modern-fe

Jalopnik · Call Me A Luddite, But These Modern Features Only Seem To Make Cars Worse - JalopnikWith new innovative technology being implemented in our vehicles, there's bound to be a few hit-and-miss features. Here are some of the worst ones.

Mr. Orange and his #tariffs have had a huge effect on stock markets and so on my "voluntary #pension #savings". He is a living and walking chaos. I have invested for 20 years and the #loss has been -7 % in one week. They should grow, not go down. 🫣🙄🥺 I've been told that I'm still young and things will change. I don't invest by myself. My bank does that on behalf of me. In #finland we have this kind of service. #annoying #suomimastodon #politics #usa #lifemustgoon

Since the last #LinuxMint update, about once a week my computer doesn't start up fully successfully. Sometimes it's my external touchpad that's not recognized, sometimes it's my keyboard. Sometimes the Key-Mapper app doesn't autoload, so the 18 extra function keys on my keyboard don't work. Restarting the computer fixes things, but it remains #annoying.

What is one of the most #annoying things to find on the floor? A nut and/or bolt.

I found the pair today in my bedroom. I've checked my treadmill, my desk chair, my rocker, and the four rolling drawers of my storage bed. All have all their nuts and bolts.

I have no clue where the hardware came from. Perhaps a gremlin dropped them just to drive me slowly mad.
