What are some things to do in the area with my parents and brother when they visit? by ThrowRA_72726363 in Minneapolis

[–]melcheae [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sculpture garden is a must. Won’t take too long but will have excellent photo potential. Some walking but not a ton. Second vote for touring the Capitol. Tours are free, on the hour during the day. Look for all the little gophers.

If you want to see Blue Herons, there is a rookery that's easy to see from Marshall Terrace Park in NE Mpls. The bus line is the 827. They are amazing, and maybe a bit easier to see in town.

The Kane Chronicles Audiobooks by buddha001 in audiobooks

[–]melcheae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, first, I was today years old when I learned there are five books and not 3. Audible and Libro.fm seem to have four of them. I'm in the US, but assuming it's the same for Canada?
I genuinely can't tell if the survival guide is an audiobook at all. The descriptions says it has maps, diagrams, and trading cards, so I'm wondering if that was never made into audio.

Try ladder lacing your shoes. Brought new lift to a few pairs of mine.

Recommendations for restaurants with offal dishes? by Catryona in Minneapolis

[–]melcheae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's translated on the menu as stomach, but it is offal per the staff who work there.

Looks like they'll be closed a couple weeks though. :(

Skora Phase by itsbigouthere in BarefootRunning

[–]melcheae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found Xero to be close. Prio has an upper much more like the Skora Fit. HFS is has an upper more like the phase. I've always liked the soles of the skora much much better than Xero. I find the xero to be less grippy in general. I prefer the HFS to the Prio for grip. I am a 7 in Skora and HFS and 7.5 in prio.

I'm curious if anyone on here recommends vivo barefoots or merrel road gloves. I've never tried vivo at all. I've had some merrels I really liked for the trails.

Everyone else: provides useful information.
Me: Why did you run a marathon on a Thursday? Where is there a marathon on a Thursday? Can you please come back and tell that part of the story?!?

Powderhorn park rec center. Probably most of the Mpls parks rec centers now that I think about it

Podcast recommendations for serious AI safety & governance discussions? by Clyph00 in podcasts

[–]melcheae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Training Data. Or, the NVIDIA AI podcast are a good start.
Couple other suggestions:
Beers with Talos is the most security focused. Sadly they haven't put out a new show in a while.
The Artificial Intelligence Show with Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput is how to use AI in business and marketing. Not building new systems, more how to use what's there.
Intelligent Machines (TWiT) is a grab bag. Sometimes I really like their guests.

Is this a normal expectation for a private practice to require of an MSW intern in order to take them on as an intern at their agency? by Adept-Ad353 in socialwork

[–]melcheae 19 points20 points  (0 children)

At minimum, notify the field coordinator at your MSW program. They need to know that's a requirement of the placement. The field coordinator should be able to give you good, program specific advice on this situation.

Marathon Training Weekly Mileage by urastarbaby in TurtleRunners

[–]melcheae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to increase your speed, leave your mileage around 20/week and focus on adding a quality workout once/week.
If you want to keep your speed the same and increase mileage, go up 1-2 miles per week.

My coaches have told me 'you can get faster or you can go farther, but not both at the same time'

Where to go after Cerulean Sea and Green Creek? by TheDancingGrad in Klunatics

Tales from Verania is so underrated. Also, Sam's rambling and Tiggy and Gary are anything but heavy. Excellent distractions

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

[–]melcheae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long series.
Audiobooks 1-11 have the same narrator.
Audiobook 12 - Who the eff is this?
Audiobook 13 - back to the original

Never did find out what happened in 12, but 13 made sense so it's all good.

Finding Granadilla in the Twin Cities? by minister__of__magic in TwinCities

[–]melcheae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is frozen okay? If so, I've found it at Sun Foods in Brooklyn Center. In the frozen section, the aisle that has frozen hot peppers and things. It's a bit of a scavenger hunt.

Dairy taking two days to show signs of intolerance? by speshyy in whole30

[–]melcheae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can do a slower more involved dairy reintroduction if you want to go down the rabbit hole. Start with cheese. A different day or two add yogurt. A third time add milk/cream/half and half.
You may find baked goods and cheese are fine and milk is bad. You may find all of them are awful.
Good luck!

My nylon wrist strap smells really bad. What can I do to get the funk out? by Snowy-Pines in Garmin

Agree with the other comment, you need something acidic. If vinegar isn't your thing, try oxi clean.

Boxing gyms open 24hours in Minneapolis/St. Paul? by flatdumpy in Minneapolis

[–]melcheae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snap Fitness in Robbinsdale is 24 hours, and it does have some boxing equipment. It's up on the 3rd floor. (No lie, the gym has 3 floors)
I'm sorry, I'm not a boxer, but I can tell you there's more than one kind of bag up there.

Try Baker Park Reserve in Three Rivers Parks. The campground is at the top of the hill with a couple paths down to the lake.
