Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #161: Needs More Wub
All over social media I see people whining and complaining about the cold...It's Minnesota, in January...this is normal. People understand that this is how winter is here, so if they're going to complain, why choose to live here?
My Community Leadership class is weird. Now weird isn't necessarily a bad thing, but today we had a local coffee shop owner come in and talk with us about how she obtained the shop, how proud she is that they accept everyone, and how she is openly gay and proud. That's all fine and dandy, but how does this apply to community leadership? We have a paper due next week, where we have to visit two coffee shops and note the interactions of people, compare them, etc. One shop must be a franchise, one a local shop.
One more class at noon and it's my weekend. (Although tomorrow will be a day where I get a good 4-6 hours of reading and studying in.)

What the ****?
This pole is a great argument in favor of human extermination programs.
My coworker and I are getting pretty frustrated. We only work on gaseous fuels (can't get into details, proprietary ****), and we're **** good at it. It takes up all of our time, because we are the only 2 people that know how to do what we do in the group, and there are only about 2 other people in the whole company that do this work. We got an award last week for all of the work we do with gaseous fuels, which some of it is pretty groundbreaking alternative fuel work. Now, this week, our manager tells us that his boss has told him that one of us needs to take 3 months away from our regular work, and switch to doing development work for diesel engines. Which is because their people don't want to travel to Minnesota in the winter. My manager, my coworker and I are all pushing back on this. This isn't even remotely close to our job descriptions, and it is going to absolutely destroy our current work, which is directly involved with end-customers. There is no way one person can support all of our work. But I have no doubt that we're still going to have this forced upon us, and then we'll probably get pounded by customers because we aren't able to deliver on our normal work. At this point if we have to do it, we're going to split the new work, and give it a lower priority than our current work.

Can you go to B-dubs and a local bar and judge the differences there? Eff this coffee shop BS.All over social media I see people whining and complaining about the cold...It's Minnesota, in January...this is normal.

You're telling me. I'm not a coffee guy, either, so that makes it even worse.

What you're telling us is that you have no real friends?
Maybe PB's sister wants to go to the game?

Sounds like they just need to give the diesel guys some long johns and be told to suck it up cupcakes!! They're the one's who know diesel and it would mess up your work trying to do their work.

Have you looked into those wood pellet stoves? I've heard they're really efficient. Or can you burn both logs and pellets in your stove?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #161: Needs More Wub
Pellets are great but they're more expensive than wood, pellet stoves more complicated than woodstoves, motors, electronics etc. Pellets are cleaner and you can get them with thermostats so they are much easier to deal with. They make pellet boilers now so you can get your hot water from pellets also. They also make pellet smokers, pretty cool if you like to smoke some meat. I like my woodstoves. Normally one heats the house no problem but when it gets this cold I light the one in the addition to take the chill off. I'll only run it over night, maybe 6 to 8 sticks of wood. The sun angle is starting to get the point where if its sunny I need no heat during the day(south facing house, passive and active solar)

God **** Fleet Farm didn't have a single .357 magnum round today. The only handgun ammo they had was .40 S&W and .45 Auto. No 9mm, no .38 specials, no .22, no .357 Mag, no .44 Mag. Sold out of almost everything. Then I go look for some .22-250 rounds and they're sold out of all .22-250 cartridges too! Now where am I supposed to buy cheap ammo? Maybe its time to start handloading.
