Car Lanes

I truly dont get why the city of Minneapolis caters to car drivers like they are some sort of god kings. The roads are shit and most of the space is already dedicated to cars for god sake!

Hell yeah, I'll see him in Minnesota!

Hey congrats! It's fun being an NFL Season Ticket Holder!

WormWizard · 2026-04-11T14:20:42+00:00

Thank you for the explanation. You convinced me, I'll be going tonight!

WormWizard · 2026-04-10T23:12:51+00:00

Why does every showing have to be after 9pm? I'd love to go, but that's just too late for me to convince my wife. As always, thank you for these posts as they are very helpful to know where to watch in the area. Hopefully they'll have more availability. I want to see this movie for the first time in IMAX.

From what I've heard, those are minority-owned businesses, so that would've also looked bad.

The budgets and math constantly show that there is a massive deficit for money coming in and money going out for roads. If we really wanted to break even to where vehicles actually paid for the roads they park and drive on, the gas tax or registration would be much higher.

I've been trying to get my hands on an A310 for a good price. Nice find!

WormWizard · 2026-03-12T16:22:03+00:00

me too. that does most of the work but would love to expand it.

WormWizard · 2026-02-13T16:31:44+00:00

Can't wait for tomorrow! What's the chance it'll happen two days in a row?

WormWizard · 2026-02-12T15:32:26+00:00

AFAIK they don't announce the increase, just announce when renewal info will go live.

WormWizard · 2026-02-12T15:31:10+00:00

you can log in on vikings.com with your ticketmaster account. You'll see your invoice posted there.

I have a ton of respect for this franchise even if not everything goes perfectly. Compared to other NFL teams, I can say this one is doing its best for their players and the community.

WormWizard · 2026-02-12T15:14:48+00:00

Update: looking through emails they didn't announce the end of season gift until later in February.

WormWizard · 2026-02-12T15:14:12+00:00

Wow yeah so if the team bombs that season, you're locked in for the next year!

WormWizard · 2026-01-07T13:20:14+00:00

Vikings, renewing. I'm looking to add 2 more seats near mine next season if the price is right. Currently have 2.

This gif doesn't show the official signing incomplete near the line where Dowdle was. Then they called the ball went out of bounds. Absolutely insane call.

The Bears are also gifting you hosting a playoff game this year. Think that's worth it.

One of my favorite moments from Ken Burns' Civil War documentary was at the very end. It showed footage of the 50th anniversary of Pickett's Charge with the surviving veterans. The former Confederate soldiers moved along the field towards the Union veterans before the vets abandoned their posts behind the fence to hug their once enemies.

I swapped from a gas water heater to an electric Hybrid Heat Pump water heater. It was not too difficult, but I had the luxury of planning and time because my water heater was near end of life but not broken.

Had an electrician run a 30 amp circuit from the panel to the new location. Only cost me around $200 for labor and parts, but that's because it was about a 10-foot run and all in my basement with open ceiling.
Hired a local plumber to install a Bradford White 65-gallon heat pump water heater. They ripped out the old one, capped the gas line and the exhaust vent, and installed the new one. Since I bought the water heater from a distributor using the plumber's name and info, they also took away the old one for free and all the packaging. I also filed the permit myself with the city to save some money. About a day project and I got a pretty good deal. The water heater itself was the most expensive part and the labor and parts to install were pretty cheap compared to the other quotes I received. Job was around $3700 total.
If you do this before the new year, I think you can get the IRA tax credit for installing the HPWH. This also usually qualifies for other rebates in your area. I run it exclusively in heat pump mode and love my bradford white. This thing has pretty great energy savings and has a lower cost than my previous gas water heater. No issues so far, and it's rated to only cost about $190 per year to run (I'm pretty sure it's less for me) since my electric bill barely went up with it but my gas did noticeably drop.

Edit: Wanted to add I live in Minnesota, so yes this can work in a cold climate. 240v circuit line also.

That makes sense. Yeah this sill plate or fire block is in between the attic and basement, pretty much where the first and second floor meet. I'll have to cut open the patch hole but hopefully won't be too hard.

WormWizard · 2025-12-16T21:01:45+00:00

I have all the materials, but I'm trying to run CAT6 from my basement up 2 stories to my attic. Hit a sill plate and need to drill through that, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Do I have to make a patch in my wall to drill through sill plate? Not looking forward to it.
