Back in the early 90’s of Atlanta Braves fever, i know a guy that sold his Atlanta home games in NLCS, bought tickets in Pittsburgh, and came out ahead after tickets, flights, and lodging
Huh… my cousins have an annual ski trip to Switzerland. It never occurred to me that this was more cost effective than Colorado.

Belongs in News That Makes You Say WTF?
Our fostering agency requires our water heat to be not higher than 120, but I find that not warm enough. I like my showers to be scalding hot, probably more like 130 (just a guess). But 150 is wildly too hot, yes.
“ It’s unclear what Liddell did with $1.5 million worth of wings.”
Dammit, the one thing we all wanted to know.

Ate them? Had big parties where others helped eat them?
Mob-style operation? Gonna go with this. (Occam’s Razor.)
Now, what did the Mob do with them? Do they own a bunch of Buffalo Wild Wings franchises?
I’m going with sold them on the black market.

Update!
That’s kinda weird. If I had an extra $1.5 million in my pocket that I was looking to give away, I think I’d rather give it to the school than the person who stole from the school.
Some sports people just don’t have a functioning compass is to me the first explanation that comes to mind.
However, I wonder if it is that people are tight lipped about it but it may be known where the wings went. Covid was hard and created a perfect opportunity for black market food. Someone could put one and one together and know that some wings from then should be those ones. If she is seen as a ‘Robin Hood’ type in certain communities then it may explain the love.
I think that is exactly what Chris Jones is doing . . . giving that money to the school.
It’s also his hope that covering that theft, that the guilty person will get a reduced or commuted sentence.
While covering the school’s loss is nice, I think the person who benefitted from the theft should be paying some kind of restitution. If ill-gotten gains are disgorged it provides quite the perverse incentive.

ITA. I think the offender should serve quite some time. The fact that the victim got some form of recovery doesn’t excuse the crime in the first place.
Especially at the amount that was taken.
Are any other cities seeing a rash of mass robberies/burglaries of businesses? Large groups of people (young people, usually) organized (not sure who is organizing) and going into stores all at the same time and taking stuff?
And no one can do anything about it? Not even start shooting at them?
Cuz, shoot them!
at the very least, fry 'em!!!
Give them old, Gordy to Ace speech:
“You can’t shoot all of us.”
“No, Ace. Just you.”

First time I saw this was a FB post that said 2.7B people had their SSN’s stolen and leaked online. I was going to post it in the Innumeracy thread but I read the article and they clarified it was 2.7B records that seemed to include names and SSN’s. So not necessarily 2.7B unique people with their SSN’s.
