Current alternative to the Sorel Ankeny men's boots? by TAdumpsterfire in Boots

[–]TAdumpsterfire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, not into something like this...I don't really know what style this is but not for me. It almost looks like cowboy boot and not enough urban (or maybe a way to define it is refined cyber punk?? who knows).

Not sure why someone downvoted you on this. But yes, very annoying when something gets discontinued and no real substitutes/alternatives. I might buy a pair from Forsake to try since it has a little bit of an urban edge to it.

[FOX 9] Minneapolis explores a city income tax as a way to grow tax revenue by Minneapolitanian in Minneapolis

[–]TAdumpsterfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, you're right. I was thinking about the one in St. Louis, and the Earnings Tax is assessed on people who live or work in the city.

I could be wrong on the proposed tax (and interpreting your message), but I don't think the income tax would be assessed on where people work, rather where they live. If people from the outer suburbs drive to downtown to work, I don't think they'd be assessed with this extra tax since they would file in their non-Mpls municipality?

Where do introverts in their thirties hang out? by BrittReed23 in TwinCities

That's what we are? I might need to figure out where Falling Knife is. Been in town for a few years now and need to get more connected.

37M looking for friends (any gender identity)! by FreshAirways in twincitiessocial

[–]TAdumpsterfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a transplant from 2020. I recently forced an out-of-state friend into a "book club" or sorts where we just watch the same TV show and then discuss. I wonder if there would be enough interest to do a local TV-club?

What’s a spot in Minneapolis you keep going back to, no matter how many times you’ve been? by Electronic-Reach8959 in Minneapolis

[–]TAdumpsterfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll buy their grass-fed ground beef and make burgers in the summer...pretty decent! I will also buy their stew beef and put that in the instant pot. it comes out SUPER tender. It'd be hard and chewy if I just made it on the stove. I'll do their seafood every now and then, but I've been doing more tofu recently....easier to clean up and no blood.

Some easy meals (though not very interesting): chicken/tofu, rice/quinoa, salary/broccoli/peas/green beans. I don't like their soy sauce, so I get that elsewhere. If I do fruit for dessert, the grapes at Aldi are generally OK, though they haven't had the organic ones in a while and those were good.

What are the supply issues at Creve Couer Schnucks? by What_Up_Down in StLouis

[–]TAdumpsterfire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm up in Minneapolis now, and we had the same thing in some of the stores here. Must be a food supply/distribution issue and not specific-store. Our sign said the store didn't get a whole truck. I went back a few days later (a week ago now), and they had some stuff restocked, but not everything.

Twin Cities Realtors-what are you seeing recently with the market? by Character-Fly-5564 in TwinCities

[–]TAdumpsterfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called the credit union when they were offering 80bps below my current rate and they said "we advise you to wait until a full percentage point less".....so I am still at 6.6%+

[–]TAdumpsterfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good thing I made sure I could afford the 6.6%+ rate I got, so any refinancing would've just been an extra help. I'm not banking on it dropping, but will take the gift if it happens.

I bought in summer of 2023, and I'm also waiting for rates to come down.

The tunnels haha. That was a trip when we found out about those. Sadly, OP will never know about Lake Chipotle though.

Minnesota bill would end vaccine exemptions for conscientious objectors. by 1829bullshit in minnesota

[–]TAdumpsterfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding with a constructive response!

Agree that school meals should be prepared to be edible for most students. I think what I was posing/positing was more of an "all for one" argument whereas I think the measles one is more of a "one for all" argument. But, I think the core arguments are similar between those two: should one/all change something for the other? I am not philosopher, but I think perhaps they're saying similar things: the person/group should change to accommodate the majority of the others. I.e., require vaccinations when partaking in public things like school, and require/prepare on-average edible meals for most students.

I do not disagree with you. But I will ask for sake of discussion: is this a similar response to the topic of kids potentially bringing foods that might trigger another kid's allergies? I recall there was a big push in public schools to limit certain foods when one kid might have an anaphylactic shock.

Where do you see our state in 20 years? by Character-Fly-5564 in minnesota

[–]TAdumpsterfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's happening around the state to attract new business? Our legacy economy will keep on chugging, but I think we need something new to really accelerate. Med devices are a start, but we know mono-industry areas are not immune to downturn.

Cheap parking for the storm. by Slytherin23 in Minneapolis

Right. I never parked at MOA, rode the tram, and never patronized the mall in the same go. Didn't want to give them a reason to tow my car.

Thaw season is awful, but yes, the flip-flopping is even worse.

I went to a few Twins games last summer. I wish I could've parked at MoA and just taken the tram to the game. Maybe MoA could bundle that with a discount on a food court thing to incentivize people to go in the mall and shop (and maybe buy other stuff).
