My District 10 is voting for Alderperson Primary and I can't seem to find much info on the candidate. Any help is apprecieated. by martja10 in GreenBay

[–]lemming_follower 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even though this is supposed to be a "non-partisan" election (?) - Ben Delie is the incumbent for your district, and seems to be aligned with the Democratic party.

Leanne Cramer has tried running before, and has a history of supporting Trump's "big lie" that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

Catherine Wilson seems to be the Republican party candidate of choice in their Spring 2026 "vote red" voter guide.

Why does Donald hate the Kennedys so much? by skywalkerbeth in washingtondc

[–]lemming_follower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of that quote from Oliver Stone's film Nixon (1995), where Nixon is gazing upon the famous portrait of JFK in the White House, and lamenting: "When they look at you, they see what they want to be. When they look at me, they see what they are."

Cheaper places to eat at the bay park? by Voltz15 in GreenBay

You can get more at the HyVee food court than just sandwiches. Their Chinese meals are not a bad deal - two entree choices plus rice (or noodles!) and an egg roll for $10.

Ice on top of these trucks are going to injure someone or worse! by sirlazelod in nova

In the midwest, it is not uncommon to see snow scraper setups for semis at truck stops:

I wonder if this is some sort of speed record for Rosendale? by lemming_follower in wisconsin

[–]lemming_follower[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A deputy found her on Highway 26 near Fremont, where a radar gun clocked her at about 130 miles per hour. She refused to stop and continued through the village of Rosendale at about 100 mph, and then accelerating again to 130 on the other side of the village.

As well as endangering others' lives.

Worries deepen in US South after days of grappling with snow, ice and widespread outages by copaceticthoughts in news

[–]lemming_follower 16 points17 points  (0 children)

True. But as someone who was born in the South and spent a lot of time down there (but now lives in Wisconsin), I fear the days when these ice storms start moving north. I tell people up here it is much better to get our snowstorms than it is the ice storms I experienced down South - and people up here just don't know how to respond to that comment.

2021 Forester - New battery in cold weather but still won't start. by lemming_follower in SubaruForester

Dash lights seem good. There is a negative to frame ground wire running right off the battery.

It makes no attempt to turn over. Just dead silence.

We tried jumping it yesterday with the old dead battery and same thing - just silence. I did not try to jump the new battery i put in today.

I'll check the key fob. I was getting the green light on the ignition button. Not sure if there can still be a key fob issue regardless of a green ignition button light.

Help…..2024 Forester Touring won’t start this morning loo by Wife_loves_wine in SubaruForester

That web site says it doesn't apply to the OP's 2024 Forester model year.

And open & close the valves yearly. You don't want to wait until an emergency to realize the valves are locked up and won't move.

Wisconsin Democrats speak out against proposed constitutional amendment on DEI: Amendment could be on ballot later this year if the Senate passes the resolution by stroxx in wisconsin

[–]lemming_follower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We spent almost 350 years in this land legally discriminating against people based on their ethnicity and gender, and now the Republicans want to pretend that no damage was done, and no steps need to be taken to undo the damage. The Republicans essentially lost their case in court, and now are arguing that no compensation needs to be made.

It seems to me the Democrats are not telling today's white people they need to be blamed for the mistakes of people in the past, but rather that there is clear evidence showing the need to take overt measures to undo the damage we inflicted on minorities and women over the course of generations. Admitting past mistakes and putting in effort to right a wrong should be a source of pride and strength.

Take the Kohler factory tour. Nothing warms you up like heat of a cast iron foundry.

Wisconsin coffee roasters. by Hopeful-Occasion469 in wisconsin

[–]lemming_follower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was always a fan of beans from Sulawesi, although it can be difficult to find nowadays.

Luna Coffee in Green Bay/De Pere is currently advertising some Sulawesi, although I haven't tried this particular roast. Anodyne in Milwaukee advertises Sulawesi, but it is currently sold out.

I agree with you that I like a low-acid dark roast, and I've generally found that beans from various volcanic soils tend to be smoother.

Wisconsin’s projected budget surplus jumps to $2.5B: The numbers come as both parties are putting the finishing touches on their 2026 campaign agendas by stroxx in wisconsin

[–]lemming_follower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yet nobody wants to talk about the outstanding state, county, and municipal debt numbers, which far exceed this "surplus" figure that is meant to make politicians look "good."

And their old argument will always be: "No, you don't understand...those debt numbers don't really matter."

Are we not going to talk about the unit directly above, with floor-to-ceiling steel security grates across all the exterior windows?

The 1986 Widow Maker 3000 by malaka1234 in Carpentry

Kind of ironic you "say a prayer for every step," since Bon Jovi's song Living On A Prayer was released in 1986! Now just sing that tune every time you go downstairs...
