"The Mighty Ducks" did a good job featuring Minnesota. "D2" did a shit job. Even called Minneapolis a "po dunk town". I think the writers had nit watched the first movies.
The lines are long. The food is expensive. Everyone in the group wants to eat something different. The food taste is a gamble. There are few places to eat.
Does everyone stick together and wait in all of the lines? Split up and meet at some location? Eat on the way to the festival and just hang out?
It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.
What if we just cut out the rest?
Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

I keep getting a red banner saying “Toastify is awesome” when updating. What does it mean, and what should I do differently?
How would one actually calculate the full "fruit of labor" in work that includes several people doing different tasks?
How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.
It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.
Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.
I don't like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.
I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don't have my secure 24 digit password with me.
I won't subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.
Edit: They don't even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.
Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)
Are there any email clients or servers that allow new email to land somewhere other than the inbox? Or allow my view to start elsewhere?
I declare email bankruptcy daily....
Send whiskey.
Edit: I was unclear.
I have filtering, but those all happen after the mail is in the Inbox. I get a quarter second of crazy emails and previews and things moving, then they are gone. (Outlook sucks.)
I don't even want to see that shit. Not at all.

Today, I was playing with an immediate annuity calculator. For about $106K (USA Dollar), one can get a 10 year Immediate annuity that pays about $1K per month.
For $1 million, 9 people could be covered for 10 years. For $1 billion, 9,400.
Every American could be covered for the next 10 years for ~$35 trillion. Rolled out over 10 years, it could be $3.5 trillion per year.
I am better able to reason about annuities, than government spending, so this started to put the costs in perspective for me. The costs also stop being as "squishy".
UBI would be life changing for many. Those with lots of income already would be paying about 30% back to the IRS.
There are lots of optimizations. For 60% more, the term could be doubled to 20 years, cutting the annual rollout cost by 20%. I bet costs could be improved when purchasing $1 trillion of anything. Annuity rates are also not great right now, so there a likely better structures.
Thoughts?
