I took advantage of the current $4 weekday game deal and bought a bunch of tickets to 2 Twins games this summer. 6 tickets, including fees, came to $40 per game. Sure, the seats are super far away, but so what? The kids are excited, and I'm spending way less money than I ever have before to take the whole family to a game. The deal ends today, I believe, so grab 'em while you can.
Good for the Twins for putting on a promotion that gets more families to fames, but sixteen bones’ worth of fees for a single transaction in a system that minimally involves human labor seems like extortion. Are they not squeezing their empty-seat home plate corporate ticket package customers hard enough?
I don't disagree with that. But this seems to be less of a Twins/baseball issue, and more of a "fees are everywhere issue."
As someone who sits in his actual purchased seats about once a year, I assure you that you can sit a lot closer

Are you ticking the "Remember Me" checkbox? The cookie lasts 14 days if you want to be remembered otherwise it lasts 48 hours.
Yep!
Blocking cookies?
somewhat apropos, I saw a thread on bookface yesterday about cookie salad.
What constitutes a “salad” is a hotly debated subject in my household.
Not that I know of. It feels like the same "always logging in" state on both macOS and iOS. And I use Safari, which everyone tells me is silly. It's probably my issue. Thanks for thinking it through with me! I'll keep a more detailed eye on it for a bit.
(I'd still vote for more like 30+ days than 14, but I'm just one vote and it appears changing that won't make much of a difference for me anyway.)
my work laptop always makes me log in -- I think session cookies are automatically blocked
The only thing I can think of is to check the cookie's expiration date and see if you have to log in before that. It's uncommon, but some people have their browser clear all cookies when exiting so if you close it before then, that could explain it.
I have absolutely no context here.

Oh, duh.

Too many sporps things for a Tuesday night
well, the twolves had a good run this year.
I assume they'll somehow bring back Ken Mauer for their second play in game.
They will have no second play in game. (PLEASE!)
Study: data demonstrates the Wolves get assigned the worst refs in the league.

Will Towns make it through the first quarter without being assessed 3 awful fouls?
Hmm, well, it might end up a night of hero reffing, but I'll but up a game log in case anyone is around.
Can make that a combined game log. free is in Hawaii so needs someone else to do a game log.
THAT'S NO EXCUSE
You're right.
so close. it’s patbev with 3 fouls in the 1st
My favorite Gilbert Gottfried quote was from an interview about Ruthless People: "They had me play an obnoxious jew -- quite a stretch for me."
