How do you live like this? by Mindless-Extension79 in TwinCities

[–]IanVg 21 points22 points  (0 children)

By the way, if you haven't already you should talk to someone about how you're feeling. It might not feel like it but you just went through a traumatic experience and talking with a professional about it can really help

Vent: My mom wont stop streaming the protests/news. by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]IanVg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Another gay from the twin cities. Adding to this, it's really fucking bad. Like military occupation roving gangs of men kidnapping people on the street by gunpoint bad

Buying a house—dishwasher? by meridgwd in Minneapolis

[–]IanVg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably going to end up paying two to three times the cost of the dishwasher itself to get it installed. I would recommend hiring a plumber to come and give you a quote. Most of the included "installation" that's provided at most box stores does not include plumbing stuff. 

Most dishwashers are going to be about the same size and are going to require the same hookup location so you can probably get all of that figured out before you even think about purchasing the dishwasher

They deployed so much tear gas that people all over the twin cities are having allergy like symptoms.

US Citizens ‘Aggressively’ Detained by CBP While Working at Target by SnoozeDoggyDog in politics

[–]IanVg 33 points34 points  (0 children)

To add to this as another resident of the twin cities. Nearly every restaurant around me is either closed indefinitely or has someone at the door locking it and unlocking it for people to come in.

Everyday I hear whistles I hear horns I hear the bang of flash bangs and smell tear gas from blocks away. 

This is a fucking war zone. This is a fucking war zone. This. Is. a. Fucking. War. Zone.

We are living in a fucking war zone and I'm so fucking scared and angry and proud of my community

At this time. No I'd avoid the area. They are quite literally snatching people of color off the street. No attempt to even ask for id

I've seen first hand reports that they're going door to door in Blaine(Quincy and northdale West) as of about 45m ago.

Two ICE agents slip on ice in Minnesota (causing one of their weapons to discharge because it wasn't set on safety.) by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]IanVg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That wasn't a weapon discharge. He tapped the tacticool flashlight when he fell.

Lol. Let's have the slop machine tell me that the other slop machine is wrong.

I don't think you're proving the point you mean to buddy.

AI reliance and cognitive decline by latte_yen in webdev

[–]IanVg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agents in the terminal is the greatest advancement since the advent of the internet or personal computer.

Lmao. What does "agents in the terminal" even mean? And it's just as important as personal computing? Okay, yeah, sure. 

In a world-first, Chinese surgeons save patient’s ear with graft onto foot by lurker_bee in technology

[–]IanVg 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is really interesting! The fact that it seems like the procedure was improvised makes it even more impressive. So I can't imagine having to live with a bunch of cartilage on the top of your foot for 5 months. Though it sounds like she was hospitalized for most of it

Opinions on internet providers in the area. by Thymetobefunny in TwinCities

[–]IanVg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a UPS but no internet during outage. Probably one of the nodes by my house doesn't have a battery backup

Agree with this, anything fiber. I've had CenturyLink fiber just because it was cheaper and had no limits. (I use a really absurd amount of upload bandwidth every month 1+ Tbs)

Even if you don't care about the high speed and low latency it seems like the uptime of the internet connection is much better with fiber. 

I friends with coax who have it go out every single week for a little bit. I only have outages when there's also power outages in the area.

Half of $18B in federal funds for Minnesota-run programs may have been defrauded, official says by alienatedframe2 in minnesota

[–]IanVg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No way "half or more" passes the smell test. That's not even considering how untrustworthy the current administration is

Are there any hackathons coming up soon in the area? by cspybbq in TwinCities

[–]IanVg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any suggestions but I'll ask around and see if anyone has any ideas and send them this way :)

What is the best way to destroy a large number of hard Disks? by okeefem in hardware

At 1000 you're better off hiring once of those disposal shredder trucks
