It was almost 20 years ago, but undiluted roundup did nothing to a bunch I tried to kill off. I might not have tried at the right time though.

Actually, if you don't mind getting mildly political, an article about how the changes for international students is impacting women's sports in the state could be really interesting. Pretty sure hockey isn't the only sport that is being impacted.

Of course back in D1, people outside the metro might be interested in hearing more about Mankato (Minnesota State), SCSU, UofM Duluth, and Bemidji too. Mankato in particular has been improving a ton the last few seasons. Maybe a piece about the competition at the bottom half of the WCHA?

While I'm a Gopher WoHo season ticket holder, I'd love to see more coverage of the other D1 team in the metro: St Thomas. Meanwhile in D3 UW River Falls is having a dynasty moment, and Augsburg and Hamline have been doing pretty well too. Seeing a little more coverage at that level would be nice.

It is what it is. I don't think anyone is really surprised that we have parted ways, just wasn't the timing I was hoping for. 🤷 TIA for thinking of me if/when you see something decent. I'm sure you've noticed how weird of a state our industry is in currently. Plus I've crossed the magic 50 line. 😬

That cutting wheel on the bottom started at 6.5in just like it's sibling on the top... Glad I got a few of them!
Shows a single new 6.5 inch cutting wheel on the top and a used identical cutting wheel on the bottom sitting on another new wheel. The wheel shows about 0.5 inches of wear as evidenced by a tape measure with imperial units layered over the top to show the wear.

Mostly my old analog bike sits in storage and so every time I get it out I am reminded that I still need to get and install fenders and a kickstand. Oh, and figure out what is slightly broken on the seat post... And maybe get some wider handlebars that are more comfy... Maybe some new grips...

My statement on the developing situation regarding Mayor Her.
Allegations are not dispositive, and there is much that we do not yet know about what occurred between Mayor Her, senior members of city leadership, Chief Henry, and other members of the Saint Paul Police Department. The report prepared by outside counsel of the workplace conduct investigation into Mayor Her’s behavior has not been made public. The City Council has only seen the Mayor’s administration’s two-page summary of that report, prepared by a department she oversees. The allegations in Chief Henry’s complaint have yet to be adjudicated in legal proceedings.

There are, however,  a few things that we do know. The allegations against Mayor Her that were made public this week are deeply troubling. They must be taken seriously by the public, the legal system, and the City Council. We also know that the Mayor’s administration’s own summary of the investigation says that the Mayor engaged in “offensive and inappropriate behavior,” “created an uncomfortable work environment for City employees,” and “sent inappropriate text messages” to at least two City employees. The Mayor was engaging in this behavior while our City was occupied by federal forces last winter, a moment when we desperately needed steady, focused leadership in City Hall.Saint Paul city employees—no matter their title—should never question whether they will be treated with professionalism and respect by their supervisors and the city’s leadership. Our taxpayers should be able to trust that their money will be spent on essential services, not on lawsuits brought on by inappropriate workplace conduct. And every single person in our City should feel confident that the highest levels of City Hall are functioning effectively and relentlessly focused on making life better for Saint Paulites.

Any person accused of wrongdoing deserves to have a fair, impartial legal process determine the facts of what happened and assess the appropriate legal consequences. I respect that process, and do not intend to comment on the merits or specific claims in any current or future litigation. However, the existence of a legal process does not mean either the public or the Council is prevented from demanding better. As both a resident of this City and a member of the Saint Paul City Council, it is clear to me that we need and deserve more from our Mayor.

That starts with transparency. The full report from Resolute Law must be released. Just as urgently, the Mayor must explain how she is currently able to lead the Saint Paul Police Department as the chief executive for Saint Paul. A police force that does not have meaningful leadership from the people’s elected representative is not a tolerable or sustainable state of affairs. We need to know—now—what has and will be done to ensure that that leadership and oversight exists.

It's the industry term for having feet or a mount of some sort so that the keyboard doesn't lay flat on the desk. Backwards is when you make the front of the keyboard higher than the back.

Keyboard shopping is the worst. I loved my Cloud Nine Ergo TKL but it's been a little flakey lately and then I had an accident with a glass of water today that really did it in. Considering replacing it with the Dygma Raise 2 but not sure I want to go up double the price.
