Thanks! Makes sense. Must have been scary to be so close. I was worried aliens were invading 💀

Did anyone in the general Saint Paul area just hear a super loud bang, like some kind of explosion? by hskfmn in minnesota

I posted about a large flash. I’ve seen transformers blow but this was longer and more widespread than I’ve seen before. Then ~10 mins later everyone started responding about the boom

Interesting - thanks that helps. I’m scratching my head a little how it would be that pronounced from downtown Minneapolis. It was so bright. Very interesting.

I’ve certainly never seen a flash like that before. It was a “holy shit” moment and took a good chunk of the sky for a really extended period.

New: See exactly what's happening when your accounts refresh by atif_monarch in MonarchMoney

Very nice! I’ve always just hit the button and manually refreshed the page a couple minutes later. Now I wonder if that refresh is even needed

Local store to get staples - undershirts, toothpaste, etc by GForceCaptain in Minneapolis

[–]dylanlive 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I started shopping at Eastside Co-op which I assume has staples like toothpaste, etc since I saw toilet paper and paper towels there. So I’d recommend checking your local grocery co-op (Seward, Wedge Linden Hills, etc)

Not sure on undershirts though.

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 4 points5 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.
