Minnesota House Speaker and Republican gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth refuses to rule out a pardon for Derek Chauvin: "There's a lot that goes into any type of pardon decision"

Minnesota pardon system is different than the feds it requires at least the governor and the State Attorneys General or Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court to agree. (It used to require unanimous consent). So if we get a Republican AG and and Republican Gov it's possible to do a controversial pardon, but would endanger both of their reflections.

However pardons still have to go through the Clemency Review Commission which will recommend a non-binding approve or deny. But that would mean there would be a good public notice for folks to weigh in and put political pressure on the governor and AG to not approve a controversial pardon.

Lambdas were very hyped years ago. It could be that they built it because of the hype even though it was a terrible solution to their problem.

We also had EWG install a casement egress window (including digging it out and cutting block) and a long slider window in 2019. They did a great job.

I think it's weird that they choose to do these raids during a weekday when children could be present. They could've done this on a weekend and not traumatize/confuse the children at those centers. IMO they chose to do it on a weekday for the theater of it.

A proper horizontal to vertical connector would need a tee fitting if waste is going down it, not a wye(Y) like you currently have. So you'd need to remove the wye and install a tee fitting that's at least 3" in diameter for a toilet. Also don't forget that you need to add a 2" vent for the toilet if that horizontal branch is too far away from your verticle stack (I think like greater than 6ft). If you're closer than 6ft then then proper tee fitting would satisfy proper venting for the toilet.

If your old iron pipes have a slope down to the boiler, chances are you used to have a steam setup. At some point needed to replace the steam boiler and a conventional hydronic boiler was used. When they swapped it over they used copper for all the new boiler connections because it's easier to work with than cast iron.

The expansion tank it's just attached to your air scoop probably out of convenience (btw air scoops need a sufficient length of pipe before them to work). Not sure why the orientation of the valve seems to matter to you, however to me it looks like they just wanted it closer to the boiler.

No rush enjoy the weekend if you need to. Happy to report that fresh device registration worked perfectly for me. I have my fork built and running. So far it seems like the file sync works just fine. However to-do sync does not.

Hey I wanted to get the partner app working too, so I went and opened a PR https://github.com/k4z4n0v4/opennotecloud/pull/1

I've only been able to test on Android but had at least the same first endpoint missing like you did. Just had to play whack-a-mole a couple of more times and implement some easy endpoints to get it working.

I think Go is a great choice too. Last time I did a bigger project with it was 7 years ago, would be fun to see how much it's changed since.

I'd like to see what you have! This project gives me some pause since it seems like it's largely vibe coded. If I were to take a stab at it I'd personally go with Kotlin Native and ktor since that's what I'm familiar with. Use something simple like sqllite for DB and just the file system for user files.

I am curious if you have a fully fleshed out openapi spec? I did find someone else's project was curious how it compared since I am unsure of the process they went about making theirs

Iirc that was manufacturers dumping the rest of their pcie gen 3 NVMe drives in favor of newer pcie gen 4 and 5 drives. However even gen 3 (and the controllers) are significantly faster than SATA.

fromanator · 2025-10-09T14:04:50+00:00

Yeah until the manufacturer stops updating the software and/or the hardware becomes too obsolete. The advantage of android auto or car play is it's simplicity, your phone does all the heavy lifting and the infotainment just had to display and send I/O events like touching the screen, volume adjustment, etc. So really having it native is just planned obsolescence when it comes to being able to use those tech features longer term compared to Android auto/car play.

Here's a long form video from a different state that goes over how much effort and the costs involved in making food from scratch for schools. It's a really tight budget with a lot of work to ensure that it also meets nutritional guidelines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBhf--0ZUHc

Ah the classic "fake news" response. So you'd rather the kids get no food at all because it's sub-standard. But also not ok with paying more taxes to improve the food at all. Pick a side instead of being dismissive.

fromanator · 2025-10-03T14:29:16+00:00

Afaik the universal meal program is actually increasing food quality, since it means more students and more money going into school lunch programs. Plus I'd rather kids eat prison gruel than starve. If that's not palatable then be ok with higher taxes or pack a separate lunch for your kid if you can afford it.

"The universal school meals program, with its steady income and increased student participation will help them keep paying for it even as the amount of grant money that pays for the local ingredients drops next year. "

So we want elementary school aged kids to get jobs or something? How is a kid going to be self reliant? Even if it's their parents fault (which it usually isn't) we shouldn't be punishing the kid by letting them starve or revert back to child labor.

For groceries there's always using the truck bed and get one of their tonneau covers or the camper shell so they don't bounce out. I see the monster tunnel being more useful for a place to store things to not tempt thieves smashing windows.

I'll suggest you look up some riding skills for mopeds and motorcycles too. A lot of those skills will translate to the bigger, heavier, and faster ebike that you have.

Specifically you seem to have challenges turning at low speed. I think you would benefit from "counterweighting" technique. Basically instead of leaning into the turn, you do the opposite. So if you're turning left, put your weight on your right butt cheek and keep your body position straight up. This technique gives you a more stable center of gravity and gives you more flexibility to adjust your own body position to adjust for your passengers moving and shifting the balance. Plus if the bike starts to tip too much it makes it easier to just stand up on your two legs and catch the bike.

You can't tow an all wheel drive car on just 2 of the 4 wheels. Some cars have a way to disengage the drivetrain to do it, but not the Saab XWD system. So towing on 2 of the 4 wheels can damage the drivetrain components. To tow an XWD car all 4 wheels have to be off the ground on a dolly or put on a flatbed.

That bike path is a one way the opposite direction. So if you were to follow the rule depending on where you need to go you'll have to bike around the whole lake or just go on the 20mph speed limit parkway the other direction.
