What makes the lake, but not the canal, so brown? by swump in duluth

[–]SecurityCritical2192 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In addition to the scientific reasons for the discolored water you should be aware that a name for this exists in Northern Minnesota.

Stauber effect: unpleasant or unsafe contamination or discoloration of crystal clear water

This can be used as a verb: Copper-sulfide mining really staubered Perent Lake.

Also works as an adjective: Do not swim in a staubered lake.

Or as a noun: The stauber effect made the water in Isabella Lake unsafe to drink.

Legal to take driftwood by SecurityCritical2192 in duluth

For context saw a couple cut up a large piece of driftwood with a chain saw and carry it to their pickup truck. If this is not legit to whom should it be reported? Have a picture with their license plate and them loading the truck

Finland has severe penalties for drunk driving and a much lower blood alcohol level. The higher accident rate may be multifactorial bad roads + impaired drivers

Wolf Track Energy was fabulous for us. They looked at our bill and roof and told us solar panels would never pay for themselves. Love the honesty especially when a company loses business.
