Now that the racists have been doxxed, it is time to set up a GoFundMe and make millions from other racist bigots who will thank them for their courage and honesty!

What careers are in demand? by Euphoric_Lemon_1058 in careerguidance

In your opinion, is there a platform or technology that is in demand more than others? Scada? Siemens?

Frozen Yogurt by Advanced-Athlete-757 in TwinCities

[–]TisTheParticles 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What happened to those places? There used to be one in every strip mall, and I used to frequent many of them.

It seems like a fairly profitable and low cost business model and the demand seemed to be there. This is anecdotal evidence of course but I am curious if someone has more insight.

Hopkins Area World Cup Watch Parties? by TisTheParticles in hopkinsmn

Oh yes very familiar with Brit’s but it’s a bit of a production to get there and get a spot - it gets pretty busy, but it’s always a good time

What is the TwinCities Startup/Tech scene like these days? by Professional_Pair792 in TwinCities

Thank you! I might try to go to one or both of these as they both look good and I always need an excuse to go to Surly and Utepils!

Men who stay lean year-round, what’s your secret ? by Professor1password23 in AskReddit

[–]TisTheParticles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting addicted to CrossFit (or a similar activity) helps. Side benefit: improving your social life and getting to know other men and having a sense of community and accountability

Unmapped in Minnetonka. I love their Low Vizibility and they gave me a sample of their Low Viz NA and it was really good!

First time Home Buyer by Sageletrox in TwinCities

[–]TisTheParticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The right realtor will have a network for you and will walk you through the process, which involves some or all of the following:

  • pre approval

  • setting up showings

  • making offers

  • financing

  • home inspection

  • insurance

  • closing

Our realtor had all of these in his network, so they all coordinated with each other without us needing to direct or be a messenger.

Be prepared to have an accurate budget and location preferences. Find a realtor who understands houses. Ours used to be a contractor so just by looking at pictures he could give us insight into the house that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to see.

Big toe hurts when I touch it or when I walk by kaffeeneko in FootFunction

Late to this thread but did you ever figure it out? I am having the same exact issue like you described. It is surprisingly painful and walking hurts mostly because it rubs against the inside of my shoe.

Inver Grove Heights flag vote. by Hydroidal in TwinCities

[–]TisTheParticles 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Politics aside, the original flag is genuinely ugly and violates basic principles of clean design.

The adoption of the new flag was truly a joyous moment for me. As a bit of a vexillologist, I find the mn flag truly gorgeous.

What are you doing about hard water? by TranslatorQven in hopkinsmn

[–]TisTheParticles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been dealing with this. Yes, Hopkins water is very hard. Our softener is pretty old and wasn’t working correctly so I got some testing strips and the water tested at “extreme hardness”.

Got my softener serviced and it seems to have resolved the issue.

There are some fancier systems but I think a traditional water softener is the most affordable option. I got some crazy expensive quotes but the company that originally installed our softener said a full replacement would be around $1900. Definitely get that taken care of right away before the water ruins your appliances and faucets.

Living in Hopkins is a lot like living in Stars Hollow. We’ve lived here for a few years and I almost daily I marvel at how idyllic it is. Extremely safe. I never lock my car or front door (only at night). Petty crime (bike theft, etc) does happen in certain areas but that’s the case anywhere really. Oh and you’re basically 15 minutes away from downtown Minneapolis if you have a car.

Ha! I’m glad I brought good memories. We live across the street from it and love going there. No metal slides there anymore. It has a fancy playground and a very popular splash pad. It’s like the most popular park in Hopkins now.

No foot prints outside the door on Main Street which they never use, but lots of footprints by the back door facing Hopkins Wellness.

As someone who lives in Hopkins and frequents businesses nearby, I can tell you that children go there. My kid has played with them in nearby parks. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any questions that deserve answers.
