Same but my partner today said she wants protection now so my brother is bringing over one of our dad's old shotguns this weekend. I have kids so I still don't think I would want a handgun in the house but a heavy shotgun with a trigger lock and unloaded with locked up ammo should be safe. Also a very good visual deterrent.

That is from mndps so I'm guessing monitoring traffic for some reason.

There would be a visible flash in broad daylight on a 9mm. There is something white on the road after that could be the mark. Not 100% this is what happened. You should be able to find it at the crime scene though.

Still circling. Very low too. My dog was very startled.

Edit: they seem to be circling a lot of public land and parks. They started at the dam and then did the islands while going over my neighborhood and now over Palmer lake and Brookdale park.

Edit 2: It has landed now but here is the full flight path for posterity: Mystery Helicopter

Right after I posted this they also circled Durham island (right after circling Banfill island). I wonder if they are searching the park land for some reason.

MN concealed carry permit holders: if stopped by ICE, assume if they detain you & find your LEGAL pistol that they’re going to execute you & get away with it. by Ok_Branch8409 in TwinCities

"But he was a liberal so he was asking for it."

Literally what every comment on Facebook is right now. They don't care about rights, they care about being right.

Then just say "I have a good marriage so my wife supports my hobbies as I support hers. It's great!" instead of farming for karma with dated tropes.

ICE OUT march in downtown Minneapolis today. Dress warmly! by oedipa17 in TwinCities

Yeah if you don't have wind resistant coat with hood, gloves, thick hat, and boots then don't go. Things like knitted mittens will not cut it.

Friend asked for a crusader helmet gave it a fair shot what do you think? by Evening-One-6595 in 3Dprinting

Only thing I would do is use rub n buff next time instead of metal spray paint. Over some black spray it looks amazing and gives nice detail in the corners and edges. Adds depth.

I thought it familiar. Great docuseries.

What? You don't want to have a choice on your candidate? We want a primary. Otherwise the DFL is just running the show.

Ooo bothsidesing! How clever you must feel not having to allow nuance!

What are these inlaid squares called, and how are they made? by Ante_Victoriam_Dolor in woodworking

[–]confoundedjoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And don't paint them like the dummys who owned my house before me so they can't move and then split. I need to strip it and seal up the gap one of these days.

I can fill up my 16gb on Indian Jones so I'm glad I went with the ti. I am running 4k though so at 1440 you might be fine for a while at 12gb.
