We're sorry that he shot you, but clearly he didn't shoot you with the same bullet that he shot the last guy with, so obviously this is totally different.

I went, because I love my in-laws, to a nondenominational evangelical Christmas Eve service where the rock band played an arrangement of Hallelujah using the first verse and chorus, and it really left me with questions, but none of them involved faith

I got picked up at a bar once, back when I drank, and it turned out they just wanted to watch me play video games. Nobody had any fun that night because I’m horrible at video games.

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

That’s still thinking inside the box. Why limit it to military? Have the department of agriculture feed them to hogs. Have the department of the interior feed them to grizzlies. These are just starting points!

I was on my neighborhood board about 10 years ago (Minneapolis has some weird experiments in self-governance) and some fellow board members tried to do this in a public park!

When I worked in tech support, we shared our call center (and bathroom) with a sales call center. Sales reps routinely took calls in there, serenaded by the symphony written by a steady diet of Doritos and pizza. Zoom hadn’t yet been invented, alas.

It seems like you wouldn't need to pay that much to a Former Treasurer if your school was simply part of an existing organization, like, maybe a school district?

I didn't know "school" meant "district" for charters, thought you meant "a school" My point: a Very Large Number for one school is not large for a small district. Why $21M on hand 12/31? Maybe because the school year goes until June and they got their funding for the year in fall? I don't know!

it's cool how there were 3 different dudes who managed convicted felon Trump's 2016 campaign and all three of them have been convicted of serious crimes and two got sentenced to lengthy jail terms.

It becomes less MN Interesting when you add the context that it's not actually "a charter school" but rather a mini-district with 8 or 9 actual schools, an online school, and close to 5,000 students. In that context, is $21M in the bank in December 2022 an unusual amount? I don't know!

That question has what at least appears to be a straightforward answer: According to the filing, they had over $21M in savings and cash investments at the end of the year, so that investment income would represent 1.56% interest on those investments.
