Twin Cities has great transit.

No, the Twin Cities has highly ranked mass transit in the United States. That doesn’t mean it’s great, it instead speaks to how poor mass transit is in the US.

The Met Council and partners are working to improve and make it better but they’ve got a long way to go.

I’d love to get rid of my car and use the mass transit, I hate driving. As it currently is though I’ll be better served when I buy an e-bike this coming spring and use that to get around instead.

I don’t but they’re not wrong about the transit. I live in a row home within 6 miles of the Minnesota state capital building, the state the user you’re replying to is from.

Sorry to ruin your gotcha moment.

I hate Christmas music from years working in retail but this one really jams!

No thanks! I’ll take housing that only costs me property taxes. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed so I’d take that certainty today.

$208,063.88

This would pay off our mortgage and we could dump that monthly payment into saving for retirement.

However, if the question was how much do we need then it would be $0. We are far more fortunate than many.

If there was a line of all the people in this comment section waiting to get whatever amount they need I’d be one of those continuously moving to the back to let others go first.

I hope you all find improved quality of life, even if it’s not through some financial windfall!

Thank you! This is what I was wondering too!

For sure! The only reason I upgraded is because the OptiPlex costs a lot to run in terms of electricity.

For stuff I pretty much run 24/7 I really wanted better power efficiency.

I’m on board with this. I did something similar putting a Synology 920+ and an Asus NUC style machine running Ubuntu in place of my old OptiPlex and WD MyCloud setup.

I’m now the primary content provider for a bunch of my family!

I’ve been struggling with gout in my knee and ankle off and on. When it gets bad I’m almost immobile and I broke down and finally bought a cane to help me hobble around when it’s at its worst.

Mine also came from Ukraine and like you I wanted something with personality. I got an oak, ball top style stained cherry and I love it!

The hexbear and lemmygrad users/posts I run across in All mostly remind me of those street corner preachers. I don’t care one way or another about their ideologies but it’s tiring that they always feel the need to shout it in your face.

I don’t hate them but find them to be obnoxious and mostly cult-like.

Maybe they’re just bad at math and don’t understand how averages work.

And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

They call it Royale with Cheese.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Right idea, wrong application. We need this kind of solidarity for the workers. Pretty sure the CEO with hundreds of millions of dollars will be okay.

No, I’ll have to take a trip to the store for a can of expensive goose grease.

I can get you exotic meats. Hippo steaks, giraffe burgers…

It’ll all be goat.

I would think down stairs wouldn’t last long, getting compressed and slowly broken down.

Makes me think of my grandparents when they finally sold their house after 60 years. They had carpet placed over tile early on and pulled it up before putting the house on the market. The pad underneath by that point was so worn down it was just dust.

I think downstairs should be down stairs.

As far as I know SMS still has the character limit, the processing just got smarter to break up a longer message into multiple chunks and then reassemble it correctly on the other end.
