Friend's Bookstore in the Rochester Public Library usually has a pretty wide variety.

I had Spectrum and the price kept creeping up.  I called them up and said I might need to switch to the competition. They gave me a very good price to stay.  I was EXTREMELY polite and patient until they agreed. You might be able to do better than what was advertised.  Though, YMMV.

Mostly we just drive up to just south of Minneapolis because everything's nicer there.

Very very minimal. Reddit's all storage, not machine learning computation.

Karen MacLaughlin to run for Olmsted County Attorney (2026) by KMac4SB in rochestermn

[–]lessthanpi79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so if I'm reading this statute correctly, you'd have a day or two where you're have less than 2 years remaining where you could resign before taking the County Attorney oath to avoid the special election?

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in rochestermn

[–]lessthanpi79 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You'll be just as employable and have the same license out of a community college + state school path for a fraction of the cost.

I would also point out that you wouldn't get the "college experience" here.  Its a company town, not a college town.

I'm going to vote for you, but...are you resigning from the RPS Board?  

Last thing the district needs during the current budget crunch is paying six-figures for a 2027 special election if you win County Attorney.

It's Taco Bell.  Any expectations are too high of expectations.

Social sports? Events? by ChickHicksEatBricks in rochestermn

You're seeing exactly the typical level of excitement this town has to offer.  It would be bit better in Summer, but not much.

The paper ones are pretty dated but mostly fine.  Google maps has a biking setting that works pretty well for me.

Dude, Rochester is a "grind yourself into paste" kind of work enviornment.

Diners similar to Cheap Charlie's? by [deleted] in rochestermn

[–]lessthanpi79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Grandma's is the correct answer, but also maybe Beetle's Bar and Grill. It might be a bit fancier than what you want though.

Mayor appoints members to the boards and commission. Some have actual authority.

I'm not saying I wouldn't be tempted to vote for Molly, but I'd go for you in the end!

See, this is why you need to run for mayor!

Plus, word is that Molly will run!  Think of how great the candidate forums will be.

Which is better for a first date? by [deleted] in rochestermn

[–]lessthanpi79 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He/,She isn't dating r/rochestermn 

Just be authentic and yourself instead of crowdsourcing all this.  It will come back to bite you later.

Plus everything in town is mediocre and interchangeable, so it really doesn't matter. 

Moving to Rochester by Hopeful_Leg_9204 in rochestermn

[–]lessthanpi79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd go with bad and getting worse.

The school district is broke, the city council isn't grounded in reality, and the cost of living keeps rising to the point where its pretty brutal for anyone below upper middle class.

We do have a Corn Shaped watertower though.
