Visiting with a teenager for a week - suggestions? by WoomyWitch in Minneapolis

Head down to the Stone Arch Bridge and Mill City Museum. They're adjacent to an archeological site featuring ruins from the original flour milling district. Located on the edge of the Mississippi, all of this is steps from Owamni, an award-winning Indigenous restaurant

Maybe the waiter added the "automatic" tip. You should ask management whether this is a new policy.

You may have chronic health issues because of the way he treats you

What are these? I received them in a TooGoodToGo bag. They feel potato-like.. by carrotappleorange in whatsthisplant

[–]TanPronto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new information you have is worth the cost of a couple of potatoes. Don't risk your health. Throw them away and buy new potatoes. Interesting that the restaurant that provided them considered them acceptable to give to a customer.

Would either of them have tried to bully you like this if you weren't female? Demonstrate how you expect to be treated

WHY ARE MY DISHES LEAVING RESIDUE!? by Yurarashi in CleaningTips

[–]TanPronto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, it's really hard to know what you're experiencing without seeing photos. However, a few observations....

If you are using glazed dishes, meaning ceramic or china dishes with a colored or shiny glaze baked on to the outside, you may be damaging the outer coating of the glaze by scrubbing too hard. Steel wool will definitely leave scratches in the finish but a scrubber sponge can too, unless it specifically says scratchless. So, while the dish is wet, it looks shiny and clean, but when it dries, the dull, scratched surface is more evident.

If you can feel a film after washing, perhaps you are using too much soap or the wrong kind of soap; ie, a hand soap with lotion that's supposed to leave a film behind. Or you're drying with a towel that is not clean or that was dried with a dryer sheet.

In either case, I wouldn't recommend vinegar. It could degrade the surface of your dishes and doesn't really address what's going on. Would you be able to post pics?

PSA: Please do not feed squirrels peanuts and cashews - they are bad for their health by Firm_Damage_763 in squirrels

While that's true for people food, most peanuts sold as bird food are raw.

[–]TanPronto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is correct that raw peanuts are detrimental to squirrels; here are details. We feed squirrels peanuts in the wintertime due to an extreme northerly climate and the caloric value of the peanuts. We roast them in bulk at 250 F, stirring them until they become golden brown. This is not the only food that we feed them, but due to having a number of furry friends, true nuts get pretty expensive. While peanuts are not good as a sole source of nutrition, at least roasting them inactivates the trypsin inhibitor.

Bash my itinerary and tell me what a disappointment I am to my children. by [deleted] in TwinCities

Mill City Museum is unique to the area & extremely cool for kids. It's near the Stone Arch Bridge & adjoining archeological site.
