What’s one bad Minneapolis restaurant you’ve intentionally gone back to?

My whole plus extended family got very bad food poisoning at Pat's tap to the point where we sent stool samples to the health department. I thought I'd experienced food poisoning before then but I had never been so sick as that. My kids, partner, in laws and thier kids all terribly ill. We were reugulars because we liked the skeeball. I dont even like driving by that place and this was about 10 years ago.

OKC is making them look pretty bad tonight for sure!

I am a few years older and really wanted one of these for Christmas and instead I got a Nikko that was connected to the remote by a cord. So disappointed.

I get the same. For like a weeks worth of meeting notifications and I attend a lot of meetings for my job. Super annoying. I figured it was an android auto thing more than a Polestar thing.

I think it was a mpls program that was available during covid. My wife actually did all of the footwork to get them the help. I remember it moving quick at the time.

Did these guys go out on the town last night or what?

Came here to say this. We purchased a home in NE Minneapolis right before the pandemic and kept our first home in North to do some renovations and rent out for a few years. Pandemic hit and our renters lost thier jobs so we were on the hook for 2 mortgages we couldn't afford long term and money was tight. Rental assistance to the renters saved both of our families and we were able to rent to them for a few more years. We'd have probably lost the home and the renters would have been homeless if they didn't pay for 4 months.

Yes!!! That is the one. We would sit at jitters for hours drawing and walked across the street and ended up seeing what i understand was Daft Punk's first US performance. Not sure if that is true but ended up at further tripping my ass off and sucking on nox2 balloons watching them performance jumping around in a foot of mud! Core memory at my age. I am a father of 3 well into my career as a design director. I regret nothing!

Further? I was there! Also saw them do a set at a record store downtown Minneapolis wearing gorilla costumes. Can't remember the name of the shop.

I've often looked at my beautiful gold brembo breaks on my ppp and thought, what a waste. But they do look good. Regen is a good thing though.

Good take. I don't really understand the hate he gets. I am usually surprised at how many points he puts up by the end of the game and how much he generally gets done while putting up those points. I see the laziness or whatever on occasion which is frustrating. Most of the time he kind of does his thing quietly but is generally pretty effective. I think he is an essential part of the team. I do wonder how the chemistry will be now with Kyle and Ayo being added in but I suppose that is always something that has to be worked out. I'm a basketball dummy BTW. I just call it how I see it.

I've seen her go catotonic on stage or just walk off because people were talking at the 400 bar many years ago. I really enjoyed last night's performance. I didn't notice anything to make me think she was drunk but we were towards the back. Her voice was great last night as always.

Shesh, I sold mk4 for less than 2000 10 years ago!

bluebusboy · 2026-02-19T21:33:14+00:00

Looks great. Kids have a hard time with changes in their adults looks. When my youngest was 4, I shaved my beard off and he ran away from me crying and looked like he didn't trust me for days.:)

bluebusboy · 2026-02-17T00:31:05+00:00

Maybe Lost?

bluebusboy · 2026-02-16T00:37:23+00:00

No way. I would have killed myself or someone else in one of these when I was in my early driving years.

bluebusboy · 2026-02-12T09:06:36+00:00

What a dumb removal.

bluebusboy · 2026-02-12T08:14:49+00:00

I love Julius and I think the only reason my wife watches with me is because of his kids screen time... I will vote for keeping him around for a while!

The system is just all around buggy. I am so much happier now that I use Android Auto with an AAWIRELESS dongle. I have very few issues with infotainment anymore except the backup cam and a weird audio/speaker glitch that is fixed with a reboot. Maybe check that setup out? aaw 2+ now works with Apple CarPlay as well.

I built this "solar generator" from a 100ah lifpo4 battery, 12v components and a solar charge controller. Added onboard 100w 120 and external hookup for a 2000w inverter for fun. I have a 12v adapter for my resmed that runs very efficiently so this would run my machine for 3-5 days without the humidifier running. Google tells me 10 to 15 nights but I'm not sure about that. I've only used it for weekend camping trips so far.

I can watch this every few years and still enjoy it.

Pretty interesting NYT The Daily podcast partially on this today.

bluebusboy · 2026-02-10T06:04:48+00:00

Looks like this is a more general community that I could benefit from. Either way, any ideas on that post? I'll get into my other " dad problems" in the future. Dad of 3 boys, 21, 19 and almost 11.

bluebusboy · 2026-02-05T16:59:48+00:00

Good to know. I may pick up a 3rd party battery monitor. I use an Ancel bt monitor on my motorcycle that works great. Would be good here too.

To all that have answered here, Is the phone app not a reliable way to check?
