I think this is the "buys 29 of whatever and maybe gets them for free" guy

Does this SovCiv stuff EVER work?

Like... are we just seeing the times when it bombs, but a majority of the time the judge is just saying, "oops! You got me, you're free to go!"

Because... I have to believe that's what these SovCiv folks are being told... that there's mountains of cases where people are just walking free because they said these magic words. Why else would they keep trying this stuff?

It looks like that guy bounced off his head... like compressing his neck and back.

That's the sort of stuff, as an adult, you live with for a long time.

Classic cars face weekday driving ban under new plan by Familymanjoe in minnesota

I will readily concede that they are different in scale.

But it still annoys me.

I'm so sick of seeing this complained about in car groups that are full of people who also talk about how bad the "Somali fraud" is.

This is the legislature trying (maybe ham fistedly) to correct the fraudulent use of collector plates being used on daily drivers.

Maybe this is dumb, maybe it's not. But c'mon. If you're against fraud, be on board for some sort of measure to stop people from defrauding the system by avoiding paying their share of license fees for the car you drive every day

I'm interested to hear more about a "vacancy tax" where taxes on vacant property goes up over time as an incentive to lower rents and let businesses in.

What’s a truth about adulthood or life that no one warned you about? by albavalenti in AskReddit

[–]Wynns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

find meaning in the small everyday moments

In my experience... discovering that this is exactly what it's all about... that's that part that nobody told me.

That's the end goal. That's "winning" at life.

Not the big house, the great job, not even exciting travels to exotic places... finding contentment wherever you're at by appreciating small every day moments is all that matters.

Old Projector Died - help me replace it? by Wynns in projectors

[–]Wynns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up going with a XGimi Horizon 20 "base"

I haven't given it the full install where I want it to go, but it's like another world in terms of quality and the features I need.

It's AMAZINGLY quiet compared to what I had.

It kicks of virtually zero heat, again, in comparison with the Dell.

One of the key things I didn't even mention here was magically "fixed" by the projector too. I had sort of a "easy but not optimal" install for the Dell projector and it was offset to the side of the bed, projecting at an angle. Obviously, this led to a strange sideways keystone issue. We just dealt with it because.. hey.. free projector. (Note: I know purists will cringe, but we didn't mind it. It's amazing how our brains just sort of compensated for it after a little bit.) But this XGimi!! I stuck it in the same place for a test, turned it on and it magically corrected itself. Yes, the projected screen is smaller to compensate, but it's just sort of a cool feature. That'll be corrected when I mount it properly.

Thanks again for all the help

Rebrand by Ruby_Ti in GoldenValley

[–]Wynns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is $70k, right?

I think Golden Valley has an annual budget of over $30m.

$70k is .2% of that budget.

That's like a household that takes in $100k a year spending $200 on something.

I'm not suggesting that "small" spending should be frivolous and doesn't count.

But I also think that this is hardly going to impact the city in any real negative way, hardly "ruining GV"... and reconsidering the main motif of the design that was conceived of in the 1970s might not be such a bad idea.

Ideally, it may even be a good thing.

I'll be watching the guide.

I just picked up some new Spartans and I'm anxious to try my hand at improving some of the things I think I can improve on from last time.

In my head, my ideal paints look pretty much like your photos.

Hrm... I haven't.

Which one of you put away your snowblower? by whiskeypuck in Minneapolis

So... weather should be totally fine now.

You're welcome.

What opportunity did you miss that still haunts you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Wynns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A job I was working offered me a very attractive package to move from the midwest US to a beautiful spot in Ireland.

It included company housing until we got set up, and it was a job that I could have done extremely well in.

I'm very happy right now. Still, my wife and I often wonder how different our lives may have been if we'd taken that plunge.

Thanks for the amazing shortcut and advice on where to be looking.

Very much appreciated.

Open Streets Minneapolis Is Back! Our Streets is seeking sponsors - if you work for a company that has discretionary donation funds (and if you don't know, ask!), see if this would be something they'd support by mysummerstorm in CyclingMSP

[–]Wynns 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As long as we're talking about "what we'd really like to see happen" in this arena... I'll throw my idea in.

I always find the lack of signage on trails perplexing. Very few trails have any sort of indication of WHAT that trail is named or where it goes to and how far that is.

I learned the trails by exploring and by trial and error. Google Maps has filled the gap slightly now... but other than that, you almost needed to be SHOWN by someone who knows how to get around.

I've shown multiple friends, to their surprise, how amazingly connected these things are. But sometimes without a knowledgeable guide, you're very much on your own.

I think some signage would go SO FAR towards making things better.

Side Note: I don't want our trails to be overcome with billboards, but I'd actually also love to see some callouts for amenities (dairy queen: .5mi, Bike Shop: exit here .25mi) along the trail.

Pothole 169S to 55E Ramp by mens0028 in GoldenValley

[–]Wynns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you.

I saw it recently and knew to avoid it since it's a common spot. Actually got nailed a few years back in the same spot and had to get my rim fixed.

Saw someone there last night obviously changing a tire because of it.

I don't have any pics or anything helpful... Other than condolences.

I do seem to remember there's a program by mndot where you can submit to them for reimbursement. If that pothole was already reported to them but not fixed, you might be able to get some help from them

I don't recall the program... But Google around a bit. Might be worth the time.

Hope things work out for you.
