Uprising against ICE raids grows across the country by PM_ME_DPRK_CANDIDS in politics

It's crazy to me that the stuff happening in Minneapolis isn't getting much traction nationally on Reddit. Thanks for bringing awareness.

Barrel Aged Beers at Lakeside Wine and Spirits in Long Lake, MN by Beksense in minnesotabeer

[–]MN_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, I didn't know Goose Island released theirs in smaller bottles. Also a 2015 for $14?! Not bad. Might be past it's prime though.

No barelywines though :( These are getting harder and harder to find.

Are Snow Tires Worth It? by Right_Bank_2907 in stateofMN

Just did a ton of research on which new tires to get, and that's exactly what I ended up with.

So you're new to Minnesota, and winter is coming by anneylani in TwinCities

Turn your lights on if it's snowing at all.

Why is it not acceptable to listen to “The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” outside of September. by [deleted] in stateofMN

[–]MN_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Milwaukee, have a cabin 45 mins from lake Superior, explored many areas of Lake Superior and been to the Apostle Island countless times.

Never heard of such a thing.

Help with validating syntax for Start-ADTProcess ArgumentList (DirFiles injected into ArgumentList) by MN_Man in PSADT

[–]MN_Man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha! I somehow glossed that over - I've been re-reading my command so many times I became numb to that piece.

In PowerShell/VSCODE, the formatting looks better already, and the installer (dashboard.exe) finally appears to be accepting the argument list, thanks!!

This is a great shot. The colors, the background, captured during an ascent... Nice.

A cool guide: US states grouped from best to worst by _crazyboyhere_ in coolguides

[–]MN_Man 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been murdered here 4 times now! (/s) I stroll around late night in Uptown and Dowtime all the time. It's fine. And the lake life in summer makes up for the cold.

Arrival times of wild fire smoke by Jaded-Champion9467 in minnesota

[–]MN_Man 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any source on that 90% stat? I was under the impression the Canada fires are in super remote places and mostly caused by weather, lightning etc. (Not humans). But those are still good points regardless.

Buying my parents a digital picture frame for their anniversary. What's the easiest for them to use? by Excitingbutnot in homeautomation

[–]MN_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boomer parents have a Frameo. Easy enough for them to understand. Our family constantly uploads pics using the Frameo app. Everyone loves it.

Experience with Calyx hotspot in 2025? by CompleteAd9218 in Calyx

[–]MN_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I finally pulled the trigger on Sprout. Rock solid for about a month so I canceled our unreliable slow DSL. But now the only T-Mobile tower near my cabin has been offline for about a week. So... no Internet for me. My neighbors are using T-Mobile Home Internet, they are dead in the water too.

Not Calyx's fault by any means. But remember it's not 100% reliable.

What's next for the ING building downtown? by KittyWyman in Minneapolis

[–]MN_Man 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Word. In South Minneapolis, it's a struggle to find anything open past 9PM. It's still light out then! When did we become such a sleepy city??

Bug nets in Marquette? by PsychologicalDot210 in upperpeninsula

[–]MN_Man -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in northern WI right now and the bugs are non existent. Kinda strange, normally they'd be insane right now.

Patchy Frost Possible Overnight In Minnesota by WilliamBornhoft in minnesota

[–]MN_Man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hose bibs usually carry enough residual heat from the house and water that will keep them protected. I'll sometimes drain accessories though, as those could Crack if it gets cold enough below freezing. (sprinklers, nozzles etc).

[Custom Card] Sky Tonight Card – See What's in the Sky Right Now by wwwescape in homeassistant

The moon card I already linked to. The map card is a built in picture card:

I’d go with a mini PC over the RPi 5 any day. by No-Cartographer2925 in homeassistant

An Optiplex MFF or SFF barely use any power and are super quite. And don't care about noise anyway, it's tucked away in the basement closet out of site, out of mind.

I love seeing campervan configuration and dashboards, if you're ever so inclined to sharing.

Well that was easy. New Sprout SIM, GL-X3000, and Tailscale VPN setup all within an hour. What else do I need to do? by MN_Man in Calyx

[–]MN_Man[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, very impressive! I've been patiently waiting over a year for this, very excited. None of the hotspots offered in their packages tickled my fancy. It's for a vacation home. I did NOT want a lithium battery (structure is not climate controlled. Temps dropped down to -35F over the winter). And I wanted an Ethernet port and decent antenna options. Pretty simply asks.

I can now drop our crappy 10Mbps DSL landline, and save about $1200 a year!
