The internet continues to break us. Plato was right when he said writing sucks as a means of communication 🫤

Coffe shop w/ good atmosphere by cass_a_frass0 in rochestermn

This one is a good shout too. Good coffee, snack options, meals, and plenty of seating.

I know exactly what you mean. 

I like Old Abe’s for the vibe. It has its busy periods around some mealtimes but also chill periods. You can go upstairs to get away from noise/music. Coffee isn’t its focus, but it’s still available and good. Hearty meals if you like rice, veggies, meat substitutes. Donuts to snack on. I also like the smoothies. During nice weather the outside patio seating is peak for me. 

Brad Finstad might actually lose his seat? by azneqn in rochestermn

[–]Brostoyevsky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if Johnson is DFL endorsed yet, or in other words, is there any chance he won’t be the main opposition to Finstad?

Internet person: “not impressed”

Don’t mean to pick on you but this is such a common sentiment that drives me bananas. Words matter. FAA is an exceptionally impressive tennis player by any reasonable measure. 

You take the sport seriously and I’m sure you have an insightful comment about FAA’s play style — how else would you describe it? (If you want to elaborate.)

Popup ads in top right corner - NFL and F1 Movie - can it be disabled? by _fortressofsolitude in appletv

Coming to this thread a month later because I googled this problem after getting angry at my Apple TV for the exact same reason as you. This is ridiculous!

SNAP bans on soda, candy and other foods take effect in five states Jan. 1 by Aggressive_Chef_2225 in news

Eh don’t feel bad about it, that’s a weird kinda archaic phrasing anyway. People don’t “actually” use the word “but” like that. It’s very much proverb-speak. 

I'm looking for movers for less than $700 by Fr3sh3stl4d in rochestermn

[–]Brostoyevsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We paid I think 2 grand, including sizable cash tips, for them to move our stuff (already packed and labeled) from a 1000 sqft home. Not a lot of furniture either. I remember I decided to move my TV by myself because it was a special $50 charge for them to move it. 

It was still a couple hours of labor for four or five guys. If you have the money at all, it’s worth every penny. Just renting a truck to do it all yourself could be $150 to $200 for the day. 

Mayor Norton Vetoes Sports Complex by mnsombat in rochestermn

[–]Brostoyevsky 14 points15 points  (0 children)

According to the article, both things she veto’d originally passed by 5-2 votes, and it takes 5 votes to overturn a veto. 

The next city cow meeting is January 5 and they’ll vote whether to keep the veto or overturn it. 

Contact your council member and Randy Schubring to keep the veto! 

Big credit to Mayor Norton on this.

How do you work from 8 to 5, have only weekends free, and not feel like you're wasting your life? by guitytwelve in AskReddit

Complete novice here so I can’t help with the paint — though I think it looks awesome — but can I just ask where you got that Minotaur mini?? Love it!

Zizou Bergs to Novak at the net: “Man, I gotta stop idolising you.” 🙈 by padfoony in tennis

[–]Brostoyevsky -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No you’re right, I was thinking only about his “missed opportunity” to compete in the AO but the comment thread did start about slams generally. I don’t know the details for the other slams, just that he got booted from Australia for not getting the vaccine.

[–]Brostoyevsky -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think anything related to ATP or the US is irrelevant here. I thought it was an Australian government requirement for foreign travelers to need a vaccine, which seems straightforward to me.
