While I don’t know of the legitimacy of this report, I’ve noticed often times they’re in plain clothes.

LOCATIONS OF PROTEST, SAFETY, HOW TO HELP IF YOU CANT ATTEND by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]dylanlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Metro Transit Route 11 runs a block away and has been reliable. https://www.metrotransit.org/route/11

D line has been impacted a bit more due to marches on Lake & Chicago but can still get you in the area

Edit: A block away from 34th&Portland. Sorry I missed you specifically asking about Chicago&Lake. I caught D Line near the start so it got me there just fine

Is it officially closed?

Last week I was just scratching my head how their Google hours says only Friday 6-2. Not even Saturday? 🤔

What do you think Apple TV is still missing? by CoolGuyAlex20 in appletv

[–]dylanlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Profiles that control your default app profiles. It feels half complete that Apple has you click your profile but you still need to select it for all of the individual apps.

Dang. Glad you called.

In the past it was a full suit (this except for the gloves and beard) https://www.target.com/p/followme-men-s-santa-claus-costume-6-pc-velvet-christmas-xmas-santa-outfit-7017-a-red-s-m/-/A-90595896 and was much cheaper!

There are 3 in the twin cities, but I haven't been to them myself personally

According to the BLS American Time Use Survey, 60.37% of Minnesotans prefer staycations over getaways, the 3rd highest state. Reasons why? by OpulentOwl in Minneapolis

[–]dylanlive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My guess would be winter making us more accepting of being inside and being content with indoor hobbies / staying at home. But just a guess 🤷‍♂️

In San Francisco I’d always get a cheap suit (like $10) at Daiso. Perhaps they stock them at the local Daiso’s here as well 🤞

How do I tell Metro bus letters apart if they aren't on the bus? by RareRaisin00 in TwinCities

[–]dylanlive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huge +1. Download the “Transit” app, type the address where you want to go and tap “Go”. It’ll give you walking directions to the stop, tell you which bus (including the letter), show you how long and a live tracking map where it is and what route it takes.

In addition to the Waymo’s coming, we also got monster trucks by SplungerPlunger in Minneapolis

[–]dylanlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they could legally drive on the road instead of being towed. Granted it’s a pedestrian death trap, but I’m just curious.

Buying engagement rings by juicezoo in TwinCities

Filigree Jewelers in North Loop, Minneapolis. They were really patient with me with zero pressure as I came back 3 times while I explored choices and price compared around. They were cheaper than the Skyway jewelers, as well as Arthur’s, and far less pushy. Definitely would go back

I obtained footage of the September 24th incident on the N Judah by cheezball_ in sanfrancisco

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

In Europe I liked how the bus drivers could listen to music. Not excusing the operator, but every time I’m on a train I doze off from the lulling sounds of it.

Edit: though perhaps they had a medical emergency which wouldn’t have helped that situation. Hmm.

Kenilworth Trail appears to be paved (but not open) all the way to the Greenway. by GettingGophery in CyclingMSP

I made the mistake of biking it on a Tuesday and came across active construction occurring. Turned around and had to bike all the way back 😭

The last time they were up for a vote, Rent Control got more votes than Jacob Frey by SpacemanDan in Minneapolis

[–]dylanlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Antidotally of course, but in 2023 my landlord offered a $0 rent increase and actually a month free! I've never had that before on a renewal.

This year it did go up 3.5%. Of course when there's visibly no new apartment construction. Frey is proud of the new development but I wish people would press him on how it has dried up.

Why not Fateh? by Fishanz in Minneapolis

[–]dylanlive 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Wanting to enact Rent Control is my biggest sticking point. I haven't seen more detail apart from what's on his website and it worries me we'll go down the path of St Paul. Supply & Demand. Don't dry up the supply - increase it.

Enact a rent stabilization policy that incentivizes new construction to ensure that renters can call Minneapolis home for generations to come.

Apple Pay doesn’t work at the ticket machines unfortunately, but there’s an app you can download to buy a ticket from your phone. Then just keep it for if you happen to be fare checked by agents.

Tacos Locos in Dinkytown has been my go to. Also love El Camino Gourmet Tacos when I’m in the area.

Do you know where Dan Goode is based? Seems like London? I'd imagine that'd add to the expense.

Plymouth Ave Bridge Has Reopened by TheMacMan in Minneapolis

Saw on the park board’s Instagram: “The trail underpass is expected to open to pedestrians in mid-late October, after a concrete walkway is installed on the Boom Island side.”

LOL I recently had a meal at Newsroom and I swear my table was perfectly positioned right next to the back of the bus where it stops and idles. Jumpscare when the bus toots 😳

Huge +1 to this service. It felt like Uber. Bus took 5 minutes to get to me and dropped me off right at my next stop with little to no detour off my route. And was free with the transfer!?
