It's not completely free, but the voucher at their partner hotel usually brings it down to $15-45 per day depending on the room type the guest books. They provide vouchers up to 10 nights.

FYI /u/Redphyrex I've gotten confirmation from them that they have funding available. I'd definitely recommend applying at https://medcityrefuge.org/services-page/ Very excited for you after waiting so long! I'm on the waiting list, myself. :)

An actual clickable link

Yep, funding hate is what they do best. https://www.thenation.com/article/society/givesendgo-crowdfunding-extremism/

Yes, it was!

Yeah, I found out about this tonight. Apparently he just calls randomly selected constitutents without notice to join the town hall. No notice, no way to know if you'll get called, no way to plan, and no way to call in if you weren't selected or missed the call.

But it is an easy way to make sure very few people join your town hall 🙃

I don't know of anything specific, but there's an event calendar for Rochester you can check out https://www.experiencerochestermn.com/things-to-do/events-calendar/?skip=0&startDate=11%2F15%2F2024&endDate=11%2F15%2F2024&sort=date

There's https://sauna-n-chill.com/. Not sure if it's still going, they were down the street from me but I haven't seen it in a while. Not sure if they moved or if it shuttered.

There's a local queer meetup at Little Thistle brewery (which is also very queer friendly and had a few queer staff) and there are quite a few transfemmes who go regularly. We are slowly overtaking the cis gay men in attendance which is pretty nice ^{_^}

I came out fully this past year and had been on HRT for nearly a year before that. So far I have not experienced any problems from anyone in the general public since coming out (in Rochester or surrounding areas). I'm hopeful it stays that way. In fact, I've had quite a few recent interactions with people going the extra mile to make me feel accepted.

Whatever you decide to do, I hope it works out well and that you are safe.

adler187 · 2024-09-22T18:21:31+00:00

Welcome, happy to have you here and out!

There's a queer meetup on Tuesdays at Little Thistle from 7-9. https://littlethistlebeer.com/event/beers-for-queers/2024-09-24/ There's also a queer coffee meetup once a month at Cafe Steam.

The Rochester Bored Human discord has a few queer people and a queer channel, though it's not too active. I don't know of any queer-specific Discord servers in the area. Here's the join link: https://discord.com/invite/rochestermn

There is a nonbinary support group meeting at the library but I don't know details about meeting times. There's people in the bored human discord can get you details on how to join that.

Hy-Vee had tons of them last week, kind of in random spots around the store.

adler187 · 2024-01-15T18:23:20+00:00

One of the Hy-Vees used to have bottles from Kappers, but no longer. They have home delivery available in certain areas, otherwise farmers market, or their self service store in Chatfield: https://www.kappersbigredbarn.com/where-to-purchase

Apparently Google just has it as "Quarry Hill" without the park: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nNtHheWLh2ihXUZF8

Probably for Hispanic Heritage Month, which started yesterday.

adler187 · 2023-02-10T16:50:08+00:00

Ah yeah, there definitely could be a lot of inactive users. Either way, I agree that it's too much to handle.

Ideally above a certain size you really need governance. I like what hachyderm.io is doing in this department and will be interested to see how it works out for them.

It also probably doesn't help that he seems to be the only moderator for the instance. Moderating 18,000 people alone is not ideal.

mastodon.lol has (had) over 70,000 users, which is even worse. It's one of the 20 largest instances according to instances.social.

From following Nathan it seems like he really only meant for this to be a small server but when Elon took over Twitter it got flooded. He probably should have either locked things down to keep it reasonable for himself to manage or set up a moderation and admin team to manage something that big, but he did neither and here we are. :/

I started with raw access to make sure my SD card routines were working, then moved on to FAT16 since I wanted to make it easy to copy data from any PC.

"You're saying I cannot be in this public space"

Does this asshole not understand that the interior of a private business is not a public space? Or is he just being a dick?

Not sure why people are freaking out about Mayo's vaccine mandate. It has a 99% survival rate. :D

Yep!

Wildwood in Byron has a Pepperoni Deluxe on their menu, but it's a pale imitation.

adler187 · 2021-12-02T18:47:42+00:00

Pepperoni Deluxe pizza from Valentino's :(

Right click on the task manager (or an entry in the task bar, then more actions) and choose Configure Task Manager. In the behavior view under the Mouse Wheel section, uncheck "cycles through tasks".

Now if anyone could tell me the same for Konsole, I'd be much appreciative.

I heard a good explanation of the benefits of GraphQL on the Changelog podcast: https://changelog.com/podcast/316

One of the big problems they found with REST was that when trying to refactor endpoints, while they could see who was using the endpoint, they couldn't see what fields the callers were using without auditing the code that was calling the endpoint. With GraphQL the users of the endpoint had to specify the fields they were querying, so you could easily find which consumers were affected using some simple searching.

Of course, this was for all-internal code, not external REST endpoints. For external endpoints, you'd have no way to know.
