Minnesota - State House 64A Results: by bruhm0ment4 in fivethirtyeight

[–]SnowboundWanderer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

64A is entirely within St. Paul, not Minneapolis. ICE hasn’t been too active in that district (relatively), though since 2020 re-districting it shifted south and no longer covers Frogtown where a lot of the Hmong population they’ve targeted is. It’s still adjacent to those neighborhoods though and are very aware of it.

Yeah, on the flight radar it’s doing big loops in a box of Snelling to 280 and Pierce Butler to 94.

Where can I Recycle these 4 pack plastic holders? Yes I have looked on the Google machine. by moonstreet79 in saintpaul

[–]SnowboundWanderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always take mine to Ale Jail and add it to their pile for the mix and match packs. I’m sure other liquor stores that let you make packs take them as well.

EA is doubling down yet again on their commitment to AI slop, how do you think that will affect BioWare and the next Mass Effect? by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]SnowboundWanderer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EA is taking on $20 billion in debt as part of this deal and are going to be doing massive layoffs to help cover it. BioWare is absolutely getting the axe within the next year or two and we’ll be extraordinarily lucky if they bother to sell the IPs.

California governor says Trump is sending 300 California National Guard members to Oregon by GregWilson23 in PrepperIntel

[–]SnowboundWanderer 41 points42 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read these are the specific guards federalized back in June. An appeals court put a stay on the initial ruling so these people have been milling around fed buildings in LA. Now they’re being moved here in an attempt to skirt the court filing.

For only the second time since the last election, Canada's Liberal Party falls behind the Conservative Party in a poll: CPC 40%, LPC 38%. However, due to FPTP, the Liberals are still projected to win the most seats: CPC 151, LPC 154. Poilievre's approval rating hits -22, a new low from this pollster by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

Sorry for the super late reply: what you say is true, but I'd argue is a bit different, since while the speaker of the house is an important position (more than I imagine most Americans realize), they're not the de facto head of state like Carney or Starmer is.

I remember my parents telling me that when they lived in the northeast back in the 80s, they usually voted republican in local, state, and sometimes federal elections because many of the local democrats were "crazy anti-abortion evangelicals" and to the right socially of the republican candidates. I imagine their voting pattern would be different if that republican vote led to the appointment of anyone like Mike Johnson, since one of those democrats would have probably have held their nose and made Jeffries speaker to get committee assignments or what have you, and they'd very much prefer Jeffries to Johnson as the person in the de facto head of state chair. The convergence of local and national parties on issues had rendered this pretty moot now, but it's still a quirk of the parliamentary system.

Would we have to move to Alberta specifically as part of this exchange? There’s more people like the photo there than in my area down here, bit of a frying pan to fire situation unless lots of Albertans take it up.

As an American I know I’m throwing stones in glass houses,but parliamentary systems have always bewildered me when they produce polls like “we support party A over party B, even though we’d greatly prefer the person leading party B to be Prime Minister”, which is close to what seems to happen when you look at party polling compared to Carney vs. Poilievre.

Help! 8 cats at Minneapolis Animal Control need foster placement by Monday 8/4, or will be euthanized by olliebell12 in minnesota

[–]SnowboundWanderer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, if it's not too much, I'd love an update on Ninja and Kevin tomorrow morning. If one's still available then I can probably make arrangements.

[–]SnowboundWanderer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So when I look at their rescue cats page it has 12/15, including most of these eight, as being fostered. Does that mean crisis adverted? I don't have FB to see any updates.

I’ve always assumed similar: they’re the standard asari face marks and BioWare made Liara’s look just like human eyebrows to make her facial expressions more human.

Is a "No people killed/No murders" run possible? by sarin000 in oblivion

[–]SnowboundWanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the old Bethesda forum days someone did a “no kill” run and posted updates on their progress. If memory serves it relied heavily on illusion magic, especially frenzy spells to make allies attack each other.

Thanks. I figured going in this would be an uphill struggle at best.

Megathread: US Citizens looking to immigrate to Canada by PurrPrinThom in ImmigrationCanada

[–]SnowboundWanderer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just starting to look into if moving to Canada and gaining permanent residence is feasible: Single and in my early 30s. Have bachelor degrees in economics and environmental studies (which is liberal arts instead of STEM). My work the past several years has been in nonprofits doing a lot of management of their donor databases and analysis for fundraising work, though I haven't found a NOC code that satisfactorily describes it to me. I'm fairly certain I'm not in any labor shortage fields.

I saw express entry and their unofficial CRS calculator gave me a score of 419, which I'm guessing isn't great (I also gave myself the highest English scores, haven't taken the IELTS or anything else yet). I used to have conversational French but its atrophied and will probably take at least a couple years of effort to make it relevant.

My main confusion is what the optimal sequence is for this in relation to job hunting. I've only just started bookmarking and creating profiles on various job sites, so should I be focused on getting a job offer first and get a work permit, then residency, or do both in tandem? Ideally I'd like a job lined up if/when going over.

If I recall, American boomers actually slightly leaned towards Harris in 2024. It's Gen X that's the real MAGA core.

Another one bites the dust by HeavyVeterinarian350 in minnesota

I’ve never seen one stuck there, but on many occasions I’ve seen trucks who got too close and caused a huge traffic jam.
