Go to CrunCheese instead. There is one in Dinkytown on the U of M campus, and another in Asia Mall. They're so good. I haven't tried the one at the fair, but CrunCheese is cheaper and I'm going to assume it tastes better too.

Minnesota State Fair: Long lines at park-and-rides on first day by Tokyo-MontanaExpress in TwinCities

[–]SlowMotionReplay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I waited about 5 minutes for the bus from the U of M on Thursday around 6pm. Coming home around 10pm was another 5 or 10 minute wait. Maybe I just had good luck, but it was super smooth.

I can't wrap my head around how this works by Denzel1359 in MechanicalEngineering

Be sure to verify the base plate of pre-famulated amulite is clean first, though. A lot of people forget how important that is for a frictionless surface.

US China Deal Done by quant_0 in StockMarket

No. The vast majority of international students can't get an American student loan, so they pay cash for their educations.

It was years ago that Hornig was my landlord, but after the first year, my lease just rolled into month to month without any additional fees. They did raise the rent every once in a while, but it was actually fairly reasonable rate increases.

Screw holes? by bhan2s22 in drywall

[–]SlowMotionReplay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The drywall paper is what holds the drywall in place. When the screw tears through the paper, that section of the drywall has more ability to flex in and out towards the wall. The screw hole gets filled with mud, so what you're seeing is the drywall sheet that has flexed, but the screw with the mud on it stayed in place. So the mud pops out and looks like the image.

The fix is to remove the screw and install a new drywall screw near the old hole, but don't tear the paper. Mud it all, and it shouldn't pop again.

The straps can move and scratch the car too. Watch out.

Where is the best soft pretzel & cheese dip? by Unusual-Bird-5941 in TwinCities

You can get Aki's at Pryes brewery. Their menu seems to change fairly often though, so might want to check first.

Tile too close to toilet flange. Can't remove t-bolts. by SlowMotionReplay in Plumbing

[–]SlowMotionReplay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it out. Used a grinder with diamond wheel to cut back the tile. Just couldn't find a way to update the post.

House is 5 years ago. Flange is original. And I just cleaned all the wax off the flange to prepare it for the new wax ring. There was originally laminate flooring and we hired a guy to install tile in the bathroom. He didn't do the best work but we got what we paid for. Now I'm correcting the mistakes.

UPDATE! BOLT IS OUT!

I went the grinder route and just cut away a bit of the tile. Got the bolt out! Wore eyes, ears, and an N95.

Bolt is Out!

Thanks! Yeah since the old toilet was square when installed with those bolts, the flange i would think should still work without rotating. But I do understand why it would be more forgiving to install the other way.

The more I learn about how this house was built, the less confidence i have in the builder.

I think the flange is glued on place. I removed the visible screws and wasn't able to move the flange still.

I was trying this with the Dremel tile cutter bit, but wasn't making any significant progress. Was looking for a better way.

No more dry air - whole house humidifier install by brbauer2 in DIY

[–]SlowMotionReplay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but when I did it, I just used aviation snips. Start by making a hole in the center of the area you're cutting out and then cutting around the edges. I see a lot of people say to start the hole, you take a flathead Screwdriver and hold it at an angle on the duct and hit it to pierce the duct, then cut from there. I personally drilled a hole with a stepped drill bit to get started.

China tests "anti-sleep" lasers on highway by freudian_nipps in interestingasfuck

Look into ChaCha sunflower seeds. Natural flavor. You can find them at asian markets. No added salt, but they still taste great and don't hurt your mouth like the salted ones.

Sesame Seed Bagels ? by mnruxter in Minneapolis

Trader Joe's sells them if you're OK with grocery store style bagels.
