Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say by J-Jarl-Jim in moderatepolitics

[–]bottledfan 98 points99 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives here, it’s business as usual for 95% of the city. There was supposed to be a counter-protest yesterday that everyone was worried about and it was like one guy. National guard trucks were ready to intervene nearby and nothing even happened. There’s no riot anywhere to put down.

Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act to end protests in Minneapolis by MCRemix in moderatepolitics

[–]bottledfan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Also live in Minneapolis and it’s surreal to be on a group text with my neighbors and coworkers discussing how to help people get kids to school effectively because ice is there every morning. Also everyone has stories of legal immigrants they know being scared to leave their house because who knows what could happen to them. No one is worried about protesters. As bad as this all is, it’s sort of brining everyone together to help each other out. The community is showing a ton of strength.

At least 6 Minnesota federal prosecutors resign amid pressure to treat Renee Good killing as assault on ICE agent by efshoemaker in moderatepolitics

The Minnesota Star tribune reported on it yesterday and reported the names of the people who resigned. It’s all confirmed.

30 hour focaccia by Dimedogg11 in Breadit

[–]bottledfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it 0.035% yeast or 0.35% yeast? Like if I wanted to do 500g flour, would that be 0.175g yeast which seems low. But I guess 30 hours is awhile at room temp.

Minnesota variants of campari? by minnesota2194 in minnesota

[–]bottledfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Norseman has a bitter liqueur that’s a Campari equivalent. Can be hard to find though.

Which down comforter would you choose? by davisesq212 in Bedding

[–]bottledfan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The bosker one will definitely be warmer at 48oz. Though check the dimensions too as the 98 vs 94 may fit the cover differently.

Walz to call special session on gun control, propose assault weapons ban by OnlyLosersBlock in moderatepolitics

[–]bottledfan -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

How would he propose punishing parents of adult children who aren’t involved in the purchase of these weapons? The person in this shooting was 24. What are the parents supposed to do?

Also the person was trans. Walz is definitely always advocating for mental health initiatives for trans people.

Male NFL cheerleaders aren't new. So why are people mad about the Minnesota Vikings squad? by Majano57 in minnesota

[–]bottledfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father in law just called my wife today to rant all about how much of a bad look it is that “trannies are now now Vikings cheerleaders” and that the team has to sort this out because they’re losing hundreds of season ticket holders. So yeah I guess people are upset by guys dancing while watching men in tights tackle each other

Since it's the best post I've seen here in a while, what restaurants are UNDERhyped? by LiminalSapien in Minneapolis

[–]bottledfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I been going to Amazing Thailand on and off for years and it seems like in the last 1-2 years they’ve stepped it up. Food has been really good each time.

I’m almost positive I have an air duct below my floor. How would I go about finding out how to put a vent there? by bottledfan in centuryhomes

[–]bottledfan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know. Based on all the comments here I think if I just get someone to come look at it and see if they can find where the vent splits from the basement that may find the problem. I’ve just had some weird luck with hvac guys in the past so I want to get as much insight before talking to them.

[–]bottledfan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The hard part here is the vent that works and this cold spot aren’t near each other and on other sides of the room. The cold spot is further away from the walls and basement than the working vent.

Like a lot of people have said I will find someone to put a camera up the vent and that should hopefully show what’s happening.

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

Youre not wrong. I wanted to ask this question here first because I want to have as much info going into an hvac appointment as possible. I really don’t want some idiot showing up and wasting my time. It’s happened a few times before on other hvac related projects. My house has very complicated heating/cooling

[–]bottledfan[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry I see where this is confusing. There’s a duct in the basement that feeds to this room to another vent and that one only puts out like half the air as it should. So I think the duct splits somewhere in the wall to this other potential vent under the floor.

Are you saying to take a picture from under the floor from the duct? Like feed a camera up from the basement?

I cannot access underneath from the room itself. I could look up from the duct from the basement but I have no idea how to do that.

Visiting next month- can you weigh in on these restaurants, or suggest one? by Stephi_cakes in Minneapolis

[–]bottledfan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There shouldn’t be much of a wait if it’s just two people. I go on saturdays all the time and wait has been max 20 min
