As a Chiefs fan, please spend the next month talking about how Mahomes doesn't have it anymore and that the Chiefs are never gonna do anything in the playoffs. He feeds on your doubt, you see.

Haha jokes on him, I medically can't concentrate!

How in the hell did my guy Comrade Fetterman not make the list, nuking lefties is his thing.

TFW you read the article, read the comments, then reread the article assuming you must have missed something.

You didn't.

It makes you feel crazy sometimes, the moral certainty. It is so jarring to have considered a situation so thoroughly and know where you stand only to have someone else reject the argument wholecloth based on saving a few cents right now.

It can make you feel like you must be the wrong one, everyone else appears to be able to just go about their day. Ultimately, for some of us, compromise can mean death, or just a more societally acceptable form of persecution.

As an aside, her mom was my "academic team" coach in college, one of the nicest people I've ever met. She taught me a lot.

You got me bro.

I'm a secret Trump shill encouraging local mutual aid and how the Democrats could/should have won.

Hey, if you get your way me and everybody like me won't be a problem anymore, grats on the dub.

Lol love the smoke. I voted for Harris, even encouraged my irl friends and family to. I just think that tacking to the right is insane.

Cheney's the one I happened to hear the most about and they're all shitbirds, but go off about the misogyny.

I'm the parent of a trans kid, I'm at a real risk of being chased out of the fucking country right now or maybe just thrown in jail, based on the chitchat around the watercooler now by both Dems and Rs. I've already been chased out of one home by bigots empowered by these pieces of shit.

I absolutely didn't want Trump to win. His win emboldens right wing terrorists across the country.

My criticisms are genuine and valid. I'm describing to you the things that put people off with less to lose than people like me and the people I love. The Democratic party deserves to burn for this, but instead they'll all be #resistance and send out more fundraising texts while the rest of us suffer. The lesson they'll most likely take from this is the one people like you seem to be taking "we can't run a woman because misogyny and we need to start burning leftists because we're not right wing enough."

I'm definitely not saying you should blame yourself for not phone banking or door knocking enough or something.

The system that we live in is just perfect for making us feel like this. And the people in charge are not incentivized to change it for us.

The only way we fix it is by trying to make things better locally, from the bottom up.

You're not wrong about having the physical and temporal capacity to inform yourself regardless, but you've also got to have the mental and emotional capacity as well.

I'm sure you're aware of how exhausting it is to live here, even just having nominal exposure to all the campaign ads and the outrage bait "news." That's before all the regular stress of living here with a family, all of your material conditions. Is my car gonna break down? If it does will I get fired? How can I afford my kids soccer cleats? Will the babysitter cancel on me for my extra shift?

If the only exposure you got for the election that you paid attention to because it was "entertainment" was a "funny" Joe Rogan clip your buddy sent you of the Trump interview it'd be real easy to be like "well, we made it through the first one, and at least he acknowledges that things are more expensive..."

Obviously if you're tuned in, you know that's a bullshit front. But if you don't have the capacity to be tuned in because fucking everything is designed to stress you out and extract what little money you have... Well, here we are.

This is absolutely untrue.

Dems should have just used more charts that show how actually you're not paying more for groceries and making less money adjusted for inflation.

They also should have just had Kamala drop out and replaced her with Liz Cheney, that would have gotten the moderate vote.

They also should have shamed the people who don't like funding wholesale slaughter around the world more, these are jobs we're talking about here!

 

Heard what sounded like a massive flushing sound from the sky, turns out I was right.

Just wanted to share a little success, after some wrangling I've finally got an M600 macro working on Klipper. I've been trying to print some ornaments for my holiday tree (a Christmas tree that I'm never taking down). These turned out pretty great!

(Ignore the wago connectors, they're "temporary")

ETA:

I used all Voxel PLA and found the model on printables. Sliced with Prusaslicer and just added the color changes at the appropriate layers.

 

36 contaminants have been added or updated on the "Human Health Based Water Guidance Table"

It's a list of chemicals that could be in your water and the health effects that the state department of health has determined are possible based on different exposure levels.

The actual usage of these guidelines only appear to be for state legislation, but if you're a well water user or a concerned city water user, this data might be of interest to you.

17 are new, 19 have updated guidelines

A Million Minnesota Q's (midwest.social)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social to c/minnesota@midwest.social
 

Hello Minnesotans,

In about a month I'll be joining your ranks. I'm buying a house just outside of St Cloud. It's not my first pick in terms of politics from what I've read, but the state laws are far better for my family than where we live now.

Aside from the fact that we're moving in November, which is one of my more brilliant strokes, to be sure, I'm very excited for this change.

I'm looking for any and all of your Minnesota advice.

I've got a pretty big family, gaggle of kids (from 2nd grade to sophomore in high school), a few dogs, and ambitions on some waterfowl next year maybe.

I'm not afraid of driving in snow, I grew up in MO, we got our share of snow, so I know that often judicious throttle control is better than frantic braking. However, I've never dealt with snow on that scale that sticks for that long. I think we're going from an average annual snowfall of 12ish inches to 40-something annual inches of snow.

Will a self-propelled two stage snowblower kill me on a couple hundred feet of driveway?

Do I really need to scrape the snow off my roof?

How do I help the dogs with the cold? (Do dog boots and coats actually work?)

Got any recommendations for cold weather clothes? (I know we need layers, I'm already a fan of wool, but I need some advice on sourcing stuff that my kids will want to wear)

I love gardening, how much more time will a greenhouse give me in terms of growing season?

How the heck do I make Minnesota friends? I'm not a church person, so I expect this to be difficult for me.

DMV advice?

Best restaurants to visit?

Our family has spent the last year grieving and trying to process what has often felt like some kind of absurd unreality. I want to make this transition as positive as I can.

You don't get to pick where you're born, but you do (to some extent at least) get to pick where you live. We picked Minnesota because of the people, the land, and even the weather.

Sorry for being a stereotype, but I really don't know how else to ask aside from the non-stop googling and YouTube I'm already doing.

TL;DR:

Yet another "I'm moving to Minnesota, help me!" Post.

Edit: You all have given me some great ideas and places to start! Thank you so much!

I'm really excited to start this new chapter and you all have helped relieve some of my worries about being buried alive in snow at least :)
