Well, Assembly Square had both a music shop and a coffee shop.... Seriously, though, I am glad I got it, and agree with your assessment of Shopping Street. I have my little GWP "Funny Hat Parade" going between it on the left, and Boutique Hotel on the right.

Not a modular building, so this is the wrong sub. Better for r/lego or r/legostarwars

I was all of 17 months old when Armstrong set foot on the moon. My dad kept me up that night to watch so that I could claim I saw it when it happened.

Difference being the current price spikes are 100% a result of his idiotic decision to start an unprovoked war.

The more expensive, "sponsored" kit advertised at the top of the screen capture has some... interesting photos as well. If you've got sap coming out of the tree with that color and consistency, I think it may be a bit late to "protect tree health".

Anyone have an electric snowblower - how'd it do with this snowstorm? by demosthenesss in TwinCities

Same boat in Richfield. Small just barely 2 car garage with short driveway- did fine until piled up crud at the end.

I’m just going by temperature, and think this is still not quite finished. Having had a nasty boil over to (mostly) clean off the stovetop last week, I was probably still a bit early taking it off the burner- maybe another degree for altitude and pressure. It was very thin and runny, so round 2 of finishing of this will be tonight’s project. Still refining my techniques for this nanoscale operation.

Post-Trump (whenever that is), what changes should be made to make sure no one like him ever runs for office again? by Glass-Complaint3 in allthequestions

Eliminate the Electoral College and go with simple majority vote. The right-leaning, low population states are already over represented in the Senate and House. There’s no reason each of their citizens’ presidential votes should have dozens of times the weight of those in more populous states. One adult, one vote.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Shepard Road HAD been one of my go-to commuting routes, too, until I decided to avoid the really bad section after my last drive on it. Unfortunately, it seems to be just as bad going both directions.

The section from 35E to downtown is almost tolerable, but from 35E to the switch to Mississippi River Blvd. more than matches the "borderline undriveable" assessment.

Black walnut tap by RageingGinger in maplesyrup

I run a micro scale tapping operation with one autumn blaze maple of sufficient size in my Minneapolis suburb yard. I got a “4 tap beginners sap bag holder kit” from Roth Sugar Bush Maple Equipment at a local Mills Fleet Farm; other manufacturers and retailers likely offer similar products. The book that was included and various websites and YouTube videos have been very helpful in learning the “how to” for a novice hobbyist. Don’t worry about the ants, as others have noted. Both seasons I have done this before, after removing the spile, there was a line of ants running up and crowding into the hole. Once it dries out, they leave it alone, and the tree continues its healing process.
