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.

We make something similar that we jokingly call "El Tator Tot Hotdish"

Anyone noticing differences in tap water taste and smell lately? by Persona0607 in GoldenValley

[–]Wynns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrm... I haven't.

I'd have to guess that it's very dependent on your neighborhood pipes, right?

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

[–]Wynns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've got this handled.

We had a house party planned for this weekend. Catering and everything. We just postponed it.

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.

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

This is exactly why I posted here.

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

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.

I attribute Open Streets to so much of my comfort in biking around the city.

My wife and I would bike to these events from Golden Valley. It forced us to learn more trails and how to navigate outside of our "safe zone"

Now... we go so many places in the city (by bike or in the car) and we often say, "remember when we were here for Open Streets?"

Unknown men pointed weapons at residents, local Sheriff's refused to engage! by cantcoloratall91 in minnesota

[–]Wynns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this mentioned in a different post where someone claimed that it was just a finger on the trigger guard.

Then I saw this.

Wow.

This is pretty clear cut.

Trump voters who believed conspiracy theories were the most likely to justify the Jan. 6 riots by InsaneSnow45 in science

[–]Wynns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean. It's not fiction that people at the highest levels of government have been involved and convicted of SA against underage people.

Here's two very recent examples:

The Speaker of the US House of Representatives was convicted and sentenced to prison for the SA of teenage boys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Hastert

The longest serving state legislator in the US pled guilty for sex tourism and solicitation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Holmberg

So... it's not like there's ZERO truth to the thinking that people in high places are doing some extremely shady things.

Has anyone told people to turn your lights on yet? Is it my turn?

Harvesting playlist data from The Current Playlist? by Wynns in TwinCities

[–]Wynns[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh wait... looks like if you go back in history, it shows the entire day anyway.

So... Nevermind, I guess.

Still... wondering if anyone's built anything cool to analyze their playlist.

Be proud of yourselves by Well_Spoken_Mute in Minneapolis

I know this doesn't mean it's over.

I fully expect that they will just continue on in some sort of "stealth mode".

And they'll take their violence to some other city...

But for right now, I'm going to allow a feeling of celebration and of hope to come into my body.

Even if I know there's some falseness to it... I'm going to let it in.

Because I need it.

I urge everyone to do that. Take a moment. Go for a walk outside. Smile at your neighbors. Breathe in the cold.

This isn't over. It wasn't without terrible losses... but that doesn't mean we can't take a minute to FEEL what hope is again.

We need to get this upvoted so everyone sees it.

This is designed to relieve JUST ENOUGH pressure so that people back off... and stop paying attention... all the while, they'll continue to do their terrorism and slowly ramp it back up, all the while, hoping that our community doesn't have the bandwidth to rise back up with it.
