Kicked Throat posted:but i like parking on hennepin when i go to the restaurants. lol has this guy ever actually tried to park on Hennepin? Total poo poo show. I used to live in an apartment on 26th and Emerson with a parking lot in the ALLEY, was much nicer to walk than trying to find parking around there.

the area being referred to (uptown), is one of the few parts of the city where you could very reasonably live without a car though. just about every kind of business is right on hennepin or within a few blocks, and hennepin going north goes through downtown and then NE (which is the main "art" area). the city council meeting is actually happening right now, and whether or not to approve the 24/7 bus lanes on hennepin is on the agenda. likely to pass, but hopefully with a veto proof majority.

Magic Hate Ball posted:i had to look it up and, like every other hip american suburban restaurant, it's basically just an upscale applebees Once you realize that the vast majority of "nice" restaurants in America all buy the same poo poo off a Sysco truck in boil-in bags and they just combine them in different ways, it's easy to stop giving a poo poo about eating out. Haven't stepped foot in a restaurant in over two years and there may only be one or two places I can think of that I miss.

I started cycling and found that because of the much more direct route (it's half the mileage) it only takes about 10 minutes longer. looking forward to being richer and less fat, until i've saved enough money for an ebike then i can get fat again

a_pineapple posted:neighborhood dumpsters though, I suppose that would require americans to actually participate in their community and use a communal dumpster/recycling.... which they'd just be like COMMUNISM and reject immediately its really funny because I grew up in a small town in Indiana with communal trash and recycling. You have to drive but its meant to serve the town and rural community together and its actually rather convenient. Only problem is since it's upscaled for a town they have it out on the outskirts so people don't bitch about the smell. It's literally a bunch of dumpsters in a gravel lot but it was so weird to live in a dark red part of a red state that had designated sorting for Glass, Plastic, Cardboard, Newspapers, Tin, and even Motor Oil and Antifreeze:

The city of Lubbock TX provides each house with a big fuckin dumpster in the alley. There are communal recycling bins but the nearest one from my poor neighborhood is 2 miles away and doesn't accept cardboard or glass. It's like they want to actively discourage recycling

Rauros posted:i used one of those in oklahoma, but every time i was there some random person would tell me that this all went to the landfill anyway Sort of. Landfills charge different fees depending on the waste. Some landfills won't accept certain kinds of waste too. Maybe your town isn't recycling the paper waste, but that paper is a lot easier to deal with than random general garbage that might catch on fire because someone chucked a propane tank in there. Or maybe the landfill is just chucking everything into one big pile and it all catches on fire constantly. It's one big pile of oily paper and sparks. I don't know.
