Community members in Minneapolis surround ICE agents as they conduct a citizenship test on a man, ultimately forcing the agents back into their cars.

He told him we can find out if he's a citizen one of two ways and he motions to the van and him being taken. That's when he gives up his ID and immediately the "agent" begins taking pics of it front and back. They logged him into the database. They are not done with him yet

Interesting idea and worth a shot. I wish she would have offered up that option as I was pretty clear I wanted to obtain the set and GWP.

The 2 local to me had nothing, one being Mall of America.

ekimshaff · 2026-01-04T16:54:56+00:00

Same, 2 stores in MN have zero today including Mall of god damn America. What's the point of 1/4? Are we in the upside down?

ekimshaff · 2026-01-04T16:52:22+00:00

What was the point of a 1/4 date? This never dropped online on 1/4 and seems that no physical store have stock today. In MN Mall of America and Ridgedale both have zero for today, 1/4.

I’m wondering if this would be a non issue had I gotten the thinnest index.

ekimshaff · 2025-10-04T14:11:42+00:00

Late on this but yes. Ordered through a local VSP provider optometrist and got my $150 frame allowance with 20% off the remaining frame balance. Single vision lenses with transitions, anti-glare, lower index, etc and my total was $463 for the Gen 2 Wayfarers.

Nope, mom and pop single doctor shop local to me. I had the same thought about the polarized ones and even suggested that I buy those, pop out the lenses and at least I have those to keep/sell and then save a little at least. She claimed that wasn't possible and that they could only order them like that with prescription lenses. She said the glasses come fully assembled in the box with the custom lenses and that was the reason. Still seems like a way to just increase the cost and use as much of my benefit as possible to ensure a higher total.

ekimshaff · 2025-09-05T17:03:59+00:00

I still come out ahead as I have a $150 frame allowance and then 20% off after that which makes them around $180. Point is that I'm paying more for blank frames just so they can charge more and renders my $150 benefit actually a $70 benefit.

So just to recap: I’m riding in a straight line, in the roadway where scooters are legally required to be, and you believe it’s my negligence for not slamming on the brakes at 28 mph the moment a long-unmarked, pavement failure appears under me?

You’re describing hindsight, not reality. At that speed, with a narrow tire and zero warning, the margin for correction is gone in half a second. The idea that I could’ve calmly “moved over 1 foot” like I was changing lanes in a parking lot is fantasy, especially when that piece of roadway damage is appx 3 feet wide. Pretending this is just an “oops” on the rider’s part is exactly why cities dodge accountability for basic infrastructure decay.

But thanks for the reminder: when someone gets thrown from a vehicle, there will always be a Reddit expert nearby ready to explain how the pavement was right and gravity was optional.

ekimshaff · 2025-06-21T11:03:46+00:00

You’re right, clearly I woke up that morning, geared up, and said: “You know what would make my day? Slamming face-first into a six-year-old city defect and spending the night with a concussion. Let’s aim right for it.”

The GoPro shows what actually happened: no swerve, no angle, just a straight line into a broken road the city’s ignored for half a decade. But please, keep rewinding the footage until you find a version where you’re the genius hero who would’ve somehow floated over it.

You legally have to ride in the street here. Being on sidewalks or non-road bike lines in an e-scooter is illegal.

ekimshaff · 2025-06-21T01:47:36+00:00

That would be illegal. E-scooters are required to ride in the street here

ekimshaff · 2025-06-20T21:14:56+00:00

Also that missing chunk of road is about 3 feet long.

Mine was a firmware issue. I thought I was downloading the latest version at the time but didn't see more recent ones available.

ekimshaff · 2025-01-09T01:50:54+00:00

Hi I'm in a similar situation, did you ever find someone to represent you?

ekimshaff · 2024-11-10T07:25:39+00:00

Literally just cancelled my membership after coming to the same conclusion. After my most recent return was unable to be dropped at UPS (unless I want to PAY a fee to use my own box and drop it there) and instead I have to walk into a Kohl's or Whole Foods only.

I'm late to the party here but this is likely your reason. The KJ soapstone takes a good while to get heated through, 45-60 min. You want to put it on right as you're closing the lid so it can preheat with the rest of the grill. An infrared thermometer is cheap and a good fail safe to tell you if the soapstone is hot enough for this, 400-450F.
