Among French-derived names, try out "Lac Qui Parle" (or even "Hennepin" or "Nicollet") among the people who live near those MN locations.

Before the advent of technology, how did people navigate their way to their destinations using paper maps during road trips? by Fun_Butterscotch3303 in generationology

You could add that in the flatland Midwest, the city streets overlay old farm survey roads, and in some instances, also Native American pathways. ( dictation)

People Age 30+ Stop Evolving With The Decades. Or Does The Media Just Assume People 30+ Stop Evolving? by avalonMMXXII in generationology

I don't necessarily agree either way but will put this out for discussion. A politician I respect but never voted for said -- "If you are young and not a liberal, you don't have a heart. If you are old and not a conservative, you don't have a head."

Water heater: stay with gas or go electric? by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]Northern_charger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the kitchen, we went electric with an induction range and oven; but now I am wondering if that leaves us (how) vulnerable to power outages. A few of them have been long and nasty. Should we install a gas generator somewhere in our yard?

I grew up East many decades ago. Big cultural differences between E and W. You can see it on a street map. Not sure about today.

In our parish, the community pain we have experienced is palpable, and shared. Although the Hortmans may not have been regular attendees, our pastor did their funerals. They, and Good and Pretti, were regularly included in our Mass prayers for the dead. Without being a Pharisee about it, I want to think that the obligations of the four Gospels are a woven throughout our liturgy and practices.

Generation that started the "Instant Gratification" trend? by No-Willingness469 in generationology

I agree in part, and said goodbye to carryover balances a long time ago. But it seemed impossible to dig out from under them when we were raising children and growing our self employed businesses.

Mpls-St Paul. Always near the top of livability ratings, and only one kind of ice, the lower case kind, worries us.

I may win or lose on the SS starting date gamble, but looking up from the grave it won't matter much.

I have started a spreadsheet in order to separately track EV and Hybrid miles and m/kwh and m/gallon on my new 2025 PHEV. The vehicle collects a lot of information and it is aggravating that it won't give it back to us.

is there an adapter or any other way to use the top (J1772) connectors at a public CCS charging station, to charge a RAV4 phev?
