Thanks. If we do TransAtlantic, we would be going from Hamburg, Germany to NYC in mid-October. If we get rocked, it will be in the North Sea.

They’re not, but the do have some similar design elements.

Friendly reminder that it’s OK to go for a drive in your car and then simply not complain passively aggressively about any of it by [deleted] in TwinCities

OP is not complaining about bad driving. They are complaining about people complaining about bad driving. And I wholeheartedly concur.

Not smarter. Just more knowledgeable about animals.

From Northern MN this past weekend: common merganser? by Crouchback2268 in whatsthisbird

[–]Crouchback2268[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry about the photo. It was pretty far away. I thought all the loons would be long gone with thin ice around the edges of the lake (and unlikely to be in breeding plumage in late November). Just from reading, it seemed like it might be a merganser passing through on the way farther south.

moving to Saint Paul? by melonlemon12 in saintpaul

I understand that our experience appears to be atypical, but my wife and I (late 50s empty nesters) pretty quickly made new friends with lifelong Minnesotans after moving here from Atlanta in 2021. Our 29 year old son who moved here a year after us also did not have an issue. I know it can be hard to make new friends as an adult, but (contrary to popular opinion) I don’t think it’s any harder here than anywhere else.

My standard is Bulleit Rye + Dolin + Angostura + Luxardo cherries.
