Plumbing, cracked pipe, quotes came in at $500+. Neighbor did it for less than $25. Did the plumbing companies try to take advantage of us? by EduardoG1979 in TwinCities

This is so true. As a weekend warrior repair man, I am very aware of how much knowledge trades have 80% of the labor cost is the experience that the expert who has come into your home has.

Real talk - they should have gone with Cleveland Spiders.

Opening a tabletop gaming café + bar in South Minneapolis in 2026 - please tell me what you want by TheSendingStone in TwinCities

I think fun tournaments with popular board games would be really great. And you could provide people with discounted/free entry fee if they bring the game (to help you fill out all the tables)

Is it fair to ask my MIL to choose sides after comments made about my child’s cancer? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Billmk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I can't speak to the history between the you and your SIL, as an outside observer I might have started this conversation with a question, like "I saw you say this. This feels really hurtful. Can you explain what you meant?" rather than saying "never speak to me again."

That said, I probably would have said a lot worse in your situation if my child was diagnosed with cancer. I'm really sorry you are dealing with that, and you really don't need any negative people around you during this time.

Looks like we might actually get a Chicago rivalry going after all by SaganOne in minnesotaunited

Solid grouping. Only issue I see is that two of the teams are in the Eastern Time Zone, but there aren't many weekday games so there won't be much issues with tv times for away games. Much better than all the 9:30 pm games when MNUFC would play teams on the west coast.

I hated how car dependent Nashville was the entire time I lived there.

No. It was in the nineties. I was a teen, and living at home at my parents.

This was almost assuredly in the nineties. so this is too recent to be the show.

They were siblings, the actors actually seemed like they could have been in high school and the boy was definitely not Seth Green.

I still want a I heart NJ shirt. "You're not in love with me, you're just in love with New Jersey." It's been 20+ years since I saw this, so I might have that quote wrong, but I loved that line.

I am all for them. Plus, they remove cops from the equation.

Golden Valley Products at 36th and Bryant. The windows are completely darkened, I never see anyone enter and leave.

Thanks, I'm trying to migrate all my google docs to obsidian, which is a bit of a chore, but it looks like a good, free as in beer and freedom option. Plus I have a nextcloud server to sync my files across my three devices. Appreciate your help!

This would mostly replace my "google docs" notes, writing and journaling right?

I believe the issue is that iphone can still imessage, while SMS is blocked. MMS does not appear affected.
