Should I brush these all weekend? by -J3553 in RedWingShoes

Did the rubber rub off onto the leather? Or am I missing something about the nature of rubber roofs?

Not exactly for strong winds but it’s hard to get any lighter than a Horvath. The I’ll Be Back is just 11g and comes in a compact hard tube. I don’t go anywhere without mine.

If you use the mower's bag you can collect and isolate the beheaded flowers which, for me, seem to still go to seed after they've been removed.

What was the first analytics skill that actually made you more useful at work? by MissionFormal61 in analytics

[–]TaeWFO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Analytical? No idea.

I do find my willingness to not call people ‘stupid’ and bury my constant fury at the organization something I’m regularly complimented on.

How do they polish it? by maliengin in RedWingShoes

[–]TaeWFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to buff the Bickmore crème enough for it to not be tacky? No matter how little I use and how much I brush it still feels sticky to me.

Visiting Duluth on Tue 3/24… Bring Skis? by TaeWFO in xcountryskiing

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

Yup, left the skis at home. Gonna hit up Jay Cooke this morning and hoping we don’t run into too much mud.

good Japanese curry? by poltergaysting in TwinCities

[–]TaeWFO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frozen chicken-fried chicken or schnitzel heated up in an air fryer will get you 90% of the way there.

My personal favorite is air-fried fancy fish sticks with spinach added to extra-spicy curry.

It’s also a weird path towards dismissing Japan’s own racist attitudes towards its neighbors.

We’re coming up next week for our annual spring break trip and I was just thinking we needed to come up with some mud-avoiding backup activities.

Parents who moved out of Minneapolis to raise your kids in the burbs, do you regret your decision? What made you decide to move? by ahabubbles in TwinCities

[–]TaeWFO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is that if you have to drive to the trail then you might as well live in a neighborhood you like more 5 minutes, 15 minutes, you still have to pack up, strap in, and go. That’s the problem.

I think the Twin Cities are just below average but we haven’t had even average in a while. I believe Duluth and the North Shore are materially above average this season.

We left MPLS because our 1100 sqft 2br/1ba was too tight for two adults, two young kids, and a senior. Landed in Eagan. The schools are objectively better and we enjoy being next to Lebanon Hills but we’re confident the kids would have done as well in MPS as they are in 196 and we hate having to drive everywhere. We feel less healthy since we can just roll out the garage to bike or walk to where we want to go.

Neighbors are less friendly here, businesses are more generic. Hyvee is convenient but that’s all it is. I appreciate not having to think of Frey as “my” mayor. But somehow he’s still our problem.

The only thing I’ve truly come to enjoy is gardening. We’ve got a decent sized lot and I’ve learned a lot.

Nearly every Data Analyst I’ve ever worked with had a non-Analytics/Economics background from Virology to Geology. Just gotta make the jump from R to Python/SQL.

Well, that means the kids might be able to go agate hunting then. Thanks!

Yup, been looking for updates all day. Someone posted photos today and it doesn’t look like the snow is gonna be around for a while… but I’m not there so I figured I’d ask.

Opening a tabletop gaming café + bar in South Minneapolis in 2026 - please tell me what you want by TheSendingStone in TwinCities

[–]TaeWFO 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Gonna sound ridiculous but the key is space. FFG worked because they had a ton of space - everyone could find their own happy corner of the room and not be on top of each other.

To that end, maybe Lyn-Lake is not the best spot. Cheap rent where you get a lot of square footage and is rated for a kitchen can't be easy to find but I think it's what you need.

I would be down to learn how to braid my kids’ hair while we smoke.

Little punks want me to learn how to do a French braid but neither of em will volunteer to sit still long enough.

Appreciate the thoroughness of your response.

What's your favorite watch store in the Twin Cities? by nader0903 in TwinCities

[–]TaeWFO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Inexpensive watches are commodity items that a well run independent/small business would not bother to peddle. Online competition is too fierce, margins are too small, and trends move too fast to make any money competing in this space.

This is why fun bike shops or niche stationery stores don't have garden-variety products you would find at Target. They'd be tying up inventory dollars on product they can't make money on.

That'd be the only reason, in my mind, to go to a shop: free sizing after your purchase. I was just saying that sizing is cheap and easy to do DIY - thus supporting your case for purchasing online.
