I vote at a church about a mile from my house. And I don’t vote at the church whose parking lot borders my backyard. I looked at a map after voting and all my neighbors vote along with me at the church a mile away. Anyone that lives near the church where I vote, votes at the church in my backyard.

And when I voted in Mpls. for over 20 years I would just walk across the street.

I vote at the middle school about 200 yards from my house but I have to drive 1.5 miles to get there to avoid walking through waste high weeds.

Tonight at the Chris Tomlin concert my wife needed to use the restroom. We were on the floor so she found the women’s restroom and the line was long and slow. Come to find out they are renovating the women’s restroom and half the stalls are in use.

Why do they wait now to renovate the restroom. It’s already Wolves basketball season. Why wasn’t this done over the summer during the off peak… lol!!!

I am sure they had reasons.  Nothing is as similar as it appears.

So the Chicago Bears and the University of Northwestern are both building multi billion dollar football stadiums, why can’t they just merge together and build 1?

Aloha!

probably the same reasons the UMN and Vikings don’t share a stadium.

Because the Bears want full control over the facility and all the revenues from it is the most likely reason.

 

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

Someone is selling 18v Milwaukee Torpedo Heaters on Marketplace for $800. I bought mine for $220 at Home Depot.

Welcome to the allocated whiskey secondary market, except the stores have figured it out, cut out the middleman, and sell at secondary prices. 😉 

 

When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

Ok, the “taconite” background is too annoying to read!  Nice tie-in but can we go back to a regular backdrop and black lettering please.  White letters on dark is giving me a headache.  

Note: Due to inflation dirty deeds will no longer be done dirt cheap.

I agree.  All you have to do is change the setting by clicking on the moon symbol and it goes back to white background

I am seeing tons of advertising for new trucks, and one of the primary features being advertised is the "Crabwalk" on the Hummer and GMC vehicles.  (Which is weird, I have never owned a truck, am not looking for a truck, and don't like driving trucks)

Anyway, can someone please explain to me how this would come in handy?  It looks like a complete gimmick to me, but again I don't own these things so I have no idea.  Is that a reason someone is going to purchase a Truck?  "Oh finally, this thing turns all 4 wheels slightly and drives at an angle.  This solves my main issue with buying a new truck".

Explain it to me like I am 5.

My brother in law and i were discussing this during the Vikings game watching one of the adverts, and we are convinced maybe it would be helpful in certain parallel parking situations, but essentially came to the conclusion that its a feature that would likely break long term and cause expense repairs as a result. 

 

I really don't think you need it and its a gimmick that people can show off. It looks super dumb.

It would also be useful in some off-road if situations, but it is still stupid because the rest of the vehicle probably wouldn’t be able to get you into said situations in the first place. It’s a party trick.

This is funny, we had this same conversation and came to the same conclusion that there was no useful reason for this feature other than to look cool in the snow.   And absolutely more things that could break. $$$$$$

Gimmick, smoke and mirrors as Gator would say.
