How has one of those companies not sued the other into oblivion by now?

They both started out as a part of the same company or something. There's a Wikipedia article. Its sort of like how there's Dairy Queen and Texas Dairy Queen.

Yeah, but it's awful in the same way that Taco Bell is awful.

For a while Taco Time NW was wildly better than Taco Bell, but I haven't been to either of them in 15 years and can't comment on their current relative statuses.

Give the rest of us an example of the difference between a Taco Time and a Taco Time NW

The superior Taco Time NW is giving away free tacos today and the inferior Taco Time isn’t.

Also their menus are entirely different.

Legislatrues appear to be democratic on the surface, but when you get into the nitty gritty and realize corporations hire lobbyists that try to get compliance using... dubious methods, and then pump millions of dollars into misleading advertisements, well... it doesn't feel democratic at all!

couldn't they just charge an equivalent fee to what they'd pay out? Or did Credit Card companies successfully lobby to make that somehow illegal.

They didn't have to lobby to make that illegal, they just put it in the merchant contract.

All those minimum payments or transaction surcharges that you see at mom & pop gas stations are technically a violation of their agreement, but snitches get stitches.

You're right, we should require all electric vehicles to include tamper-proof GPS recorders that keep track of how many miles the car is driven on public roads in Washington state.

It's probably fairly difficult to get decent talent at your newspaper when you're several hours away from any major metropolitan area and you can probably only afford to pay your employees in smiles and a firm handshake (and since Covid they've had to cut back on the firm handshakes).

As someone who was born in that shithole, my disgust with the whole affair was mildly offset by the kids.

Peninsula Daily News is based out of Port Angeles and covers the entire peninsula.

The daily paper is like six pages and is almost entirely AP News wire articles. The rest is written by one guy, although they appear to have a couple people who take turns doing every other day.

Newspapers are dying Cloud.

The 5 in a 5-over-1 refers specifically to the 5 wood stories over the 1 concrete story.

The problem with that explanation of the name is the upper 5 stories can also be type 3 and there's also 5-over-2 which is 5 type 3 or type 5 stories over 2 type 1 stories.
