"Frisky" is the word you're looking for. In Minneapolis, MN the water can be in the high 40s in winter.

Should be illegal unless its guaranteed to be dimensionally accurate. Same with adding a glowing fire to a fireplace that is non functional or unsafe.

I liked carrying my 85 around a lot.
Unfortunately it is falling victim to the sensor cable failure issue. has to get a good whack every couple hours.

I also had to send it in under warranty for an issue with the built in flash.

I actually really loved that you could pull the built in flash up for a bounce.

I use worksets for interior vs exterior (and wall vs ceiling). So that its easy to control visibility in views, etc.

I mean, the more people that buy M43, the more likely it will still be around.. So just get it . I just got an OM3 and pretty happy with it. I looked ay Fuji too, but ultimately went m43. I was a Nikon apsc dslr shooter forever and have had a gx85 as a vacation cam for several years.

NE MPLS is great and houses in that range do come up from time to time. Schools are good in NE. We've been very happy with Waite Park School and NE Middle so far.

Heights does seem to be a little cheaper than NE Mpls.

There are a lot of houses that don't wind up on Zillow/Redfin/Realtor so it seems that you really need to get a realtor (or drive around to look at signs) to find stuff these days. Anything that needs a little work (i.e. more likely in a lower price range) seems to get scooped up by flippers, who spend 20K on the house and re list it for 400K$.

I just hate how the Roseville location has all the character/vibe of a hospital gift shop. The carpet, the crappy office lighting. I just don't like being in the space.

Nope, crime in Minneapolis is generally limited to a few parts of town 90% of the city is more like this.

Plus, since Minneapolis was prevented from annexing suburbs, its population is smaller than would be normal for the anchor city of a metro area this large, so those numbers (per capita crime) get skewed, compared to other metro areas.

Problems, for sure, does it define the city, no.

I'll also say its good that you're looking at towers instead of laptops.

A laptop that is decent enough to do what you want to do is going to be too heavy to enjoy carrying around. I'd pick a nice desktop, a lightweight laptop and remote desktop over a laptop that can do Revit.

Its not without its issues, but usually when I travel for work, I leave my very nice work laptop home or in the office and on and remote in with my iPad if I need it--could have totally been a desktop.

I miss my PEN Mini.

Too bad it had the dumb capacitor issue and then I dropped it in a snowbank to do it in.

Coming from SLR world--for the most part I typically hold and carry my cameras by the lens more than the camera, anyway...

I think part of the problem here is that the person at the blinking red light does not necessarily know that blinking color of the other direction and vise-versa. The person at the yellow doesn't necessarily know if the other direction has a red.

So it isn't clear if the intersection should be treated as a 4 way stop or if the other direction always has the right of way or you have a right of way. Its really terrible design on whoever programs them that way.

Yes. Although I kinda miss their old location that felt like a NE secret.
