My favorite Waymo story is the local couple who got married in San Fran & took one & were 20 minutes late to their own wedding.

It’s a good point! I’d love to hear candidates debate this.

I deep-fried a turkey when I was a radio host in the mid-‘90s and it was still new technique here. Was delicious and lightning fast but the danger factor caused me to find a different non-roasting technique.

Ok. Yes, they’re trucks. Makes coming through Minnesota to Detroit a little more suss, I admit. Anyat, wouldn’t put too much hope into Minneapolis banning, given that Jacob Frey was the lead dog in getting Uber here and fought to keep workers from being fully empowered wrt the company.

I think it fits my thesis that 2025 was Mpls emphatically sorting into political “parties” but as always there are candidate quality factors that manifested decisively in Ward 12 and more weakly in W8 & W2 as evidenced by winners getting more crossovers from Frey than opponents got from Fateh
