@Carnage4Life it never ceases to amaze me how terrible these people are. What truly scares me, though, is that some VOTE for these candidates BASED ON their terrible views 😱

@cshirky @k80way I am with Clay on this. QR codes allow restaurants to change the menu constantly, which is necessary in the pandemic for supply constraint reasons alone! "yes and" is fine, but QR codes.. good lord, I blogged about them in 2005 and it took THIS LONG to even get there!

doin' the math, there were 550k puzzles, sold at $24.99 each. Let's say they made $10 profit from each one? That's $5.5m, and total prize pool was $1,437,500. I'm guessing they didn't sell _all_ the puzzles though, so perhaps around $3m / $4m? And minus cost of production.
