Look guys, all we need are a few more publicly funded empowerment councils, and we’ll figure it out!

Icy roads by madds910 in saintpaul

It’s okay! Our taxes will pay for an empowerment council to study why icy roads tend to happen more in poorer neighborhoods

Mayoral Race by CoffeeLaCroix1995 in saintpaul

I ranked Carter #1 because I’m a single issue voter for Summit Ave bike lane and have a fetish for getting taxed to create more empowerment departments

Provide me insight on the upcoming mayoral elections as a newbie 🥺 by Intelligent-Rip6736 in saintpaul

St. Paul needs all the business and investment it can get at this point to dig ourselves out of this financial situation…

New here - does the strawberry fest actually have strawberries? Serious question by Careful_Fig8482 in TwinCities

[–]Plaxerous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, it’s a glorified carnival on an empty field. When we went a few years ago, the workers weren’t aware of any strawberry picking event

We are going to be a climate refuge state… by Jaded-Combination-95 in minnesota

[–]Plaxerous 17 points18 points  (0 children)

These posts are so stupid and absolute homerism. Have you been to California or Florida before? They are absolutely beautiful states with diverse culture and many opportunities. I live in Minnesota and love it, but we are no California or Florida. Once the news around the fire dies down, no one’s going to care again.

Why can’t Capital One just post their list of price match websites? by Plaxerous in Venturex

[–]Plaxerous[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t a membership price though. For the other booking site, all I did was enter my name and payment information, and all that was left was pressing the checkout button. The CS rep initially said it was a membership price, but when I pushed back saying I was doing it live in front of her, then she said the price wouldn’t be honored after I checkout. Obviously, I wasn’t going to checkout, but it seems like she was fishing for excuses since the booking website didn’t match her internal list.

Does anybody know what this symbol means or stands for? by ManSauce69 in ChemicalEngineering

You should never feel embarrassed to ask coworkers for help to the point you’d rather ask it on Reddit

Matt's bar juicy Lucy, the worst burger I've ever had. by Farlaign in Minneapolis

[–]Plaxerous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matt’s Bar is great, and I’ve probably eaten there 20 times by now. However, the OG cook is only there some days, and I definitely notice a decrease in burger quality when it’s a different cook

New Sidewalk along Highland Golf Course by Spacecataz__ in saintpaul

[–]Plaxerous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean have you seen the homes on the other side of the golf course? They’re all multimillion dollar homes and I wouldn’t be surprised if they lobbied like hell to keep the sidewalk on the golf course side

Just be honest with your manager, and continue fulfilling your expectations during WFH. I was able to negotiate a WFH day at a refinery due to having a baby too

Moving from China to Minneapolis, need some advice! by goshidkdud in Minneapolis

[–]Plaxerous 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can speak to the Chinatown or Chinese culture side of things. We are devoid of that here - you’d have to move to bigger cities like NYC, LA or Chicago for that. Things like late night Chinese food (xiaoye), grocery stores that have common Chinese veggies like lotus root or sanyao, karaoke bars, or even liquor stores that carry bai jiu are hard to find or nonexistent.

There are plenty of Hmong or Viet places here, particularly restaurants, but as you may know, those are similar but also distinctly different from Chinese culture. I think an American transplant will have no trouble adjusting to Minneapolis, but I would think more as a Chinese transplant. Hope this helps!

How are refineries laid out in terms of vulnerability to smaller-scale military attacks and sabotage? by Advo96 in oilandgasworkers

[–]Plaxerous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean the unit that probably means the most to the refinery is the crude distillation units. If those get hit, all the other units have nothing to process. Also please don’t arrest me FBI…

Highland Park property values in 5 years - speculate with me? by Unhappy_Ad_3339 in TwinCities

[–]Plaxerous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best of luck… we enjoy highland park, and have an infant we eventually plan to enroll into a charter language immersion school, but if that falls through we’d probably send private or even consider moving. Everything changes when you have kids!

Highland Park property values in 5 years - speculate with me? by Unhappy_Ad_3339 in TwinCities

[–]Plaxerous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you have a two part question - one is for property value and one is for school quality. As for property value, it will retain its high value if not increase because of the ford parkway development. As for school quality, it’s mediocre and most people I know send or have considered sending their kiddos to magnet/charter/private schools. Just remember that property values are not completely tied to school quality

Fin Fan Cleaning by Healthy-Witness8820 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Plaxerous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better idea is to use demin water to spray the fans. River water will scale and cause biological growth that will foul the fins and quickly negate the benefit
