Also absolutely no idea why Google Earth can't handle a circle that crosses 45N. It might even be an error mapping between S2 and GCS.

Screen capture from Google Earth with a white distance circle centered on the Minnesota State Capitol with the edge at the 3M headquarters. There's a yellow line connecting the Minneapolis Downtown Post Office with the same 3M headquarters building. The midpoint for that line is unmarked but in the Dale-Como-Western area of St. Paul.

It's *close* but not quite:

The real engineering skills are in explaining to FinCEN why the firm allowed the fraud to happen in the first place.

No, the Rose Garden is on the west. The area torn up on the east includes the Jackie Kennedy Garden:

A recent update to a question I've asked over the last decade:

If an AI Chatbot told you that a wild mushroom is safe to eat, would you eat it?

Vegetarian cooking as a model of consent.

TIL that A Bar of Their Own was one of the first ten bars in the country to focus exclusively on women's sports.

Picture of text from a Wikipedia disambiguation page Text is as follows: NERV may refer to: NERV, a fictional organization in the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise NERV Disaster Prevention App, a Japanese emergency warning app whose branding is inspired by the Neon Genesis Evangelion fictional organization.

One of the wildest TILs I've had in a long time

For a paper claiming to cover the whole state, it's weird they only have one stock photo of downtown St. Paul.

I might need to start referring to my drawer of Ethernet cables as "The gay bar".

Amadeus?

If the Minneapolis DFL had their shit together and scheduled Target Center early enough we all could've scheduled our colonoscopies for Monday and fasted through this outside food ban.

No joke, less than 15 minutes after liking this post I got this ad:

Related subtext is that my ethics prof would regularly reference Key and Peele sketches as intros to topics.

Let's be honest, she voted to fund the construction of the Torment Nexus factory.

Earth Day, if you believe Hitchhiker's Guide is non-fiction.

This is the project page from the reconstruction. It might be worth a phone call tomorrow to both investigate as well as lodge a complaint.

Definitely the case - it was released in March 1970 and the header says this is from April 1971. Has The Heights always been a second run movie theater?

That sheet has a lot of good movies all at once. Can't help but notice Airport, largely filmed at MSP.

"responsible use"? That's like saying you consume a responsible amount of cocaine.

ope - nope, missed the "What" questions:

- What Can You Do For Me (Utah Saints)
- What Do You Know, Deutschland? (KMFDM)
- What He Say (Ministry)
- What Time is Love? (The KLF)
- What's on Your Mind (Information Society)

Since Wh- questions are the most likely, it looks like my music collection has five to offer:

- Where Do I Begin (Chemical Brothers)
- Where You at Now? (Ministry)
- Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? (Moby)
- Why Don't We Do It in the Road? (Beatles)
- Wolt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen? (Rammstein)

Very familiar with this because it goes through Iowa City and it was my most direct route to Minneapolis when I moved here from there. For Iowa it meant a lot of road improvements along the route. But, yeah, never seemed to be touted at all in Minnesota.

I'm disappointed that Bernatello's missed the opportunity to make a pineapple and Canadian bacon version for their Patriot Pizza line.

My eight-year-old son almost got me to extend bedtime with a discussion of Russian nationalism.
“Why is Russia invading?”
“They think it should be part of Russia?”
“Why?”
“Russian nationalism, I guess.”
“What’s Russian nationalism?”
“Well, in the 19th century - no, we’re not doing this at bedtime.”

Raised in the Lightning Bug zone; it might be folk etymology but they were most active just before lightning storms. I have some pretty visceral memories of seeing a swarm of them in cornfields while "heat lightning" clouds rolled in.

I think the next step is for a lengthy argument on the article's Talk page about the importance of handedness.

Honestly the first time I saw someone refer to X/Twitter as "The Nazi Bar" I was worried that Club Jag had re-opened.
