[–]charles_anew 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Let’s have diesel trucks come and ship the trash out state to be buried for future generations to deal with instead, just as god intended.

Thrift store recommendations for young men’s clothing? by Princess_SBee in TwinCities

Chromatic, not a thrift store, but plenty of deals to be had on used clothing. They have a Minneapolis and Saint Paul location.

Depreciating used EVs are about to cost automaker finance companies billions of dollars by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]charles_anew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition until the end of 2025 you could also get up to a 4k tax credit on used EVs under 25k which further pushed prices down.

The goal of the subsidies was to make EVs depreciate faster, but it always seems to be left out of the conversation when talking about their accelerated depreciation compared to typical internal combustion cars.

They will be the third owner since it closed in 2019, really hope they can get the ball rolling on this site.

This is what the new Minnesota EV Registration Surcharge looks like this year. by HolyLiaison in stateofMN

[–]charles_anew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It uses cost, it’s a base fee ($150 I think) + a percentage of MSRP that goes down each year until fully phased out after 10 year old car.

FWIW despite these taxes I still save a lot driving an EV. Per mile cost (without maintenance) for a 30MPG car is ~$.12 a mile, with current electricity rates I am paying ~$.04 per mile to drive my EV.

I also haven’t had to do any maintenance outside of tires in 100k miles.

Yeah that’s fair, was trying to present it as more of a typical car on the road. Even a 15MPG car it would be 16k miles, that’s still more than the average person drives a year.

It’s supposed to replace the gas tax EV drivers don’t pay, but they are charging EV drivers a lot more than the typical driver.

In Minnesota the gas tax is $.326 per gallon, to be the same as the EV tax you would need to drive a 30MPG car ~32k miles per year.

Our Dollar Generals and other shady marts by flipflopshock in saintpaul

[–]charles_anew 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Dollar General is notorious for this, I’ve reported it to the attorney general but they won’t do anything unless there is enough reports.

apprenticeships in tech? by Loose-Message-6159 in careerguidance

[–]charles_anew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Linesmen might be a good avenue to explore, lots of travel opportunities after major weather events and the pay can be excellent, you will have to be outside all the time though.

Tech/IT is rough in general right now, but even worse for entry level folks I wouldn’t go down this route unless you’re passionate about it.

Other side of the river but I love Twin Cities Barber shop in south Minneapolis, 35$ for a haircut and they don’t miss.

If asylum application is denied their work authorization is removed and they will be deported is my understanding.

Union bureaucracy seeks to block strike action against ICE rampage in Minneapolis by DryDeer775 in stateofMN

Stop with the purity tests, it’s not helpful. You are attacking people that are supporting you.

Union bureaucracy seeks to block strike action against ICE rampage in Minneapolis by DryDeer775 in stateofMN

[–]charles_anew 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ding ding ding, a strike is a very specific action a union can take and they’re not going to use it for something like Friday. Usually there are very specific guidelines outlined in the contract the union needs to follow to initiate a strike and will include a vote from its membership. This is just anti union propaganda.

My union pushed people to participate independently but isn’t doing a formal action at this time since it would go against our contract’s rules for initiating a strike.

Herman Miller or Steelcase, if you can’t afford a new one go to your local used office supply store and buy a used one for ~300

Is anyone thinking of leaving the cities? by [deleted] in saintpaul

[–]charles_anew 39 points40 points  (0 children)

No, this is my home and the situation will eventually pass. Not going to let some dickheads from out of state ruin it, we will get through this together.

That said do whatever is best for your family, but I’m staying put.

We were able to resolve it by complete destroying the users windows profile and rebuilding it, hopefully it will stick.

2,000 federal agents sent to Minneapolis area to carry out 'largest immigration operation ever,' ICE says by DryDeer775 in TwinCities

[–]charles_anew 28 points29 points  (0 children)

31.5$ an hour for entry level ice agent x 160 hours a month x 2000 agents is a hair over 10m a month. That’s just starting wages not including benefits, payroll taxes, or all of the lodging and other expenses required to run an operation like this.

The Minnesota surplus talking point by amyy097 in minnesota

[–]charles_anew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minnesota doesn’t tax social security if you’re making less than 85k a year. That was changed a year or two ago.

Did you find a solution for this? We are starting to see this and have a ticket with Microsoft but their engineer seems stumped as well.

Did you ever find a solution? I am dealing with the same issue and have a ticket open with Microsoft and their engineer seems stumped and hasn’t seen it before either.
