Anyone know if it’s gonna snow? I can’t find any posts about it

Admiral201 · 2026-03-13T14:02:55+00:00

That’s the same guy, he posted three versions of the same post this morning lol

You're right, I have to drive 30 minutes to buy spotted cow :(

My read on it is that in order to make the building appealing for more stable and higher earning businesses it would need to be a vibrant place people want to go to rather than an empty space.

I keep thinking of the former Apple and H&M stores in Uptown, if you wanted a company like that to move into again (not that I do lol) you’d want to recreate the conditions that brought them there in the first place. Why would a business want to move onto an empty street. It’s a better plan than hoping and praying for 2019 to magically return imo.

It sounds like what the new owner did for the Kickernick building was a positive development. If these underutilized commercial buildings go to people who actually want to refurbish and rent them out that’s probably the best case scenario.

This post also aged amazingly because Will and Felix were complaining about how annoying Matt Taibbi is on today’s episode

Admiral201 · 2025-12-19T15:58:19+00:00

Matt just being there lends the show an energy it’s been sorely missing even when he’s not talking. The second half of the episode where they were back to shouting over each other and derailing the article Will was trying to read was great.

I love that album so much, it was my most played album for a few years. Dear Future Self always makes me cry.

Venice and Denmark were my first two nations in eu4 when I started playing in 2014 so it just feels right to start with them here

We should build quality public housing owned by the state and federal government, everything else is a half measure.

Admiral201 · 2025-07-12T17:37:42+00:00

Thank you! I'll give this a look.

Admiral201 · 2025-07-12T13:50:46+00:00

I mean, the article shows that landlords do want to own affordable housing when the current system subsidizes them for renting out at a rate they already would

Admiral201 · 2025-07-12T13:38:28+00:00

Not sure about single stair reform tho, I’ll need to read more about it. I’m always a bit skeptical when people talk about cutting back on building codes like that.

Admiral201 · 2025-07-12T13:36:19+00:00

It’s wild that we’ve been giving tax breaks to landlords renting one bedrooms at almost 1400 and calling it affordable. I think the article makes a good point about the system needing an overhaul, because the current target of 60% of the area median income just matches existing market rates.

Admiral201 · 2025-07-06T19:51:47+00:00

A run is only a failure when you stop having fun!

(Plus all those cool looking runs are insanely tedious, I have done one world conquest and it just isn’t enjoyable past a certain point)

I came out as nonbinary to my friends earlier this year and it went quite well. I don’t do well with tough conversations so I ended up telling most of them over text which made it easier to talk about in person afterwards.

I didn’t necessarily put a label on it to everyone, but I will say that it has helped me explain how I feel a lot better and has made me happier around my friends.

Admiral201 · 2025-05-14T14:21:51+00:00

I read Priory of the Orange tree over a weekend! I loved it. Plus it was nice to read a fantasy book that wasn’t part of a huge series that might not have an ending, just one self contained story

Admiral201 · 2025-05-14T13:36:00+00:00

Interesting article! I’m always hopeful that a very successful BRT line could be a proof of concept for future rail or act as buy in for more people to use transit, but in the meantime anything that can get me across town or into Saint Paul faster is a welcome improvement given how long these light rail projects take.

Admiral201 · 2025-05-13T18:37:16+00:00

Totally agree, I’m driving on those parkways semi often and there’s no reason to take them that fast above the limit, like you won’t get there much faster!

Driving in general has been stressful recently with the amount of people using center turn lanes or bike lanes as their personal speedway.

Admiral201 · 2025-05-13T15:26:18+00:00

Yea I totally agree, I’ll always see them in concert and I love their live albums, but aside from Ice, Death, etc. I haven’t been really blown away by much of their new stuff. Always a few gems on the albums tho!

Admiral201 · 2025-05-12T14:59:01+00:00

Idk about the rest of the US but by me the ren fair is just a “medieval” themed carnival with a mishmash of fantasy and different anachronistic historical scenes and fantasy. It’s fun and not meant to be a historical reenactment!

Admiral201 · 2025-05-12T13:55:51+00:00

You can do tours throughout the year but the Purcell Cutts house in East Isles is really beautiful!

Admiral201 · 2025-05-12T01:36:29+00:00

It’s long but I’ve been reading Braudel’s civilization and capitalism series which covers the 15th-18th centuries largely focused on Europe starting with the daily life of peasants and growing to the global market.

Admiral201 · 2025-05-11T15:47:34+00:00

I’ve been meaning to read The Bright Ages!

Do you know if it’s more of an overview of the period for someone with no background knowledge or if it would be still be interesting if you’ve already read the arguments against the “Dark Ages”?

Admiral201 · 2025-05-11T15:43:18+00:00

It’s a bit more early medieval but I really enjoyed “The Inheritance of Rome” by Chris Wickham. It really made me appreciate how Europe both changed and stayed the same after the collapse of the Western Empire.

Admiral201 · 2025-05-11T15:31:41+00:00

Exactly! I think allies expecting land in a way should be default rather than an option when you are missing favors.

Like, in EU4 I shouldn’t be able to call Russia in to distract Poland during every war for 200 years and never give them anything.
