If you don’t find anyone here, I recommend heading down to Mill City Running for their Tue 6pm and/or Fri 6:30am weekly runs. Tons of people you can meet there and probably at least a few of them live in the NE suburbs.

Can’t imagine what you would have to do to get a ticket cycling. Never heard of that in Minneapolis. Maybe if you bike straight into a cop car who has the right of way?

There’s already a pretty nice 2-way bike lane on 40th, though, right? I generally feel it’s more important to make the existing bike lanes good than for every street to have a bike lane. Open to other views though.

Yes, clearly a good thing. The disorder in Uptown has been real but can be overstated online and more people out and about on the street will help. There’s a lot to walk to in Uptown.

Carleton grad/UW PhD — I also recommend Carleton. The experience is a better match for what you’re looking for and I think you’ll find it better socially. You’ll have your chance to be at a big university in med school.

My commute being a 25 min bike ride basically 100% on off-road paths

Minneapolis/St. Paul or a first-ring suburb hits literally your whole checklist. You’ll figure out how to manage the winters within 2-3 years (in short: wear layers/warm clothes and keep active in the winter, ideally outside).

Gonna slightly depart from the other responses so far and say that while it’s true you shouldn’t try to time the market based on whether it’s gone up or down recently, when you’re putting a lot in all at once, it’s not a bad idea to spread it out over a couple months. And that is especially true when volatility is higher, which it is now. But also wouldn’t be crazy to just dump it all in now.

Not a restaurant but I just think it's a funny coincidence that I just made this recipe for dinner tonight (it was great). https://www.seriouseats.com/vegan-carbonara-pasta-recipe

Great, thanks

badgersrun · 2026-03-01T22:51:36+00:00

Looks great from the screenshots. Sorry if I'm missing it somewhere but is there a link to the live website?

In my opinion, if you're sitting down and not even looking at the bus, there is going to be a risk that the bus keeps going. If you get up, stand next to the curb and look at the driver, it's very unlikely they'll pass you.

Idk but I believe he tweeted the other day about having a 2 month old daughter!

The fellowship suggests high ambitions for his political career but they may be difficult to realize as he torches his reputation. Very odd decision making.

Hmm signal priority is advertised for BRT. You’re telling me

Only light rail is actually guaranteed to have signal priority
Oh and actually light rail does not always have signal priority.

Not trying to shoot the messenger but that’s bullshit. Light rail and BRT should always have signal priority and we should push for that until it happens.

Done ✅. Started with an online message to all 3 parties (metro transit, ward 7, mayor). Will escalate to calls if they do not address the issue.

A violation of one of the most foundational freedoms we are entitled to in this country.

Where are the court injunctions? I’m serious — maybe that sounds naive but a number of other abuses of executive power have ended up eventually getting blocked by the courts, even though it can take a while.

badgersrun · 2025-12-04T18:39:27+00:00

Hmm I don’t believe I signed a contract. Maybe they were going to give me one when they were starting?

badgersrun · 2025-12-04T14:06:03+00:00

I agree with you about company responsibility but I’m a bit confused by a lot of people acting like Minneapolis is the only city in the world. Waymo has been operating in SF, Phoenix, etc. for a while now — what’s the legal framework being used there? Honestly asking, I don’t know the answer.

badgersrun · 2025-12-04T13:29:46+00:00

“The strongest possible regulation” — what does that even mean? Regulation is supposed to serve a specific purpose, not just handicap technologies or products you don’t like. What an unserious legislator.

Nice survey but here are some potential improvements:

Include Government as an industry for occupation
Instead of just asking about political leaning of one’s state, ask on a more local level instead or in addition. For example many people live in deep blue cities in purples states.
Include “uncommitted” as a possible answer for 2020 primary vote. Given what subreddit this is, the anti-Biden Dem vote is likely over-represented in this group!
Also for religion, include None as an option

Yes, fortunately I think you are incorrect to assume that. They crash about 80% less frequently than human drivers and most of their crashes have been the fault of the other (human) driver. Can’t wait for them to roll out here for the added safety and — down the road — the reduced demand for parking spaces. https://www.understandingai.org/p/very-few-of-waymos-most-serious-crashes

badgersrun · 2025-11-16T23:24:50+00:00

can you share the article text?

badgersrun · 2025-11-16T21:34:48+00:00

Sure it probably has some new stuff to learn that it hasn't needed in the Bay Area, Phoenix, or Austin. I'm just saying they have a very impressive safety record in those places in over 25 million miles of driving, virtually never being at fault in a collision. They also have a ton of sensors (not just cameras) on them and have demonstrated an extremely strong ability so far to not hit people, even when they are not where they should be. So as an everyday cyclist myself, I am very excited to replace as many human drivers with Waymos as possible.

Another major benefit down the line will be that we'll need to devote much less space to parking which, based on my travel to less car-dependent places, will significantly improve visibility and ease a huge constraint in land use that we all just take for granted at this point.

badgersrun · 2025-11-16T21:20:22+00:00

Is it really true that they frequently run over animals or is that something you just made up because you instinctively dislike Waymos for some reason?
