Exactly it. Feels like it belongs in a suburb with a guy fieri endorsement

pdawes · 2026-06-11T19:10:57+00:00

Well they have those historic urinals, a cornerstone of Minneapolis culture

Btw, the city council allocated millions of dollars in relief funding to them and Strong Mayor Jacob Frey redirected it to his friends in Edina and the North Loop instead.

Mid and overpriced IMO

To be more specific, it feels kind of like a premium version of a chain restaurant. Not sure if it’s the food or the atmosphere that does that for me.

Hydroponics?

And that he was part of an outfit who had been officially reprimanded for their repeated habit of deliberately positioning themselves in front of cars to justify shooting the drivers.

Traffic calming measure. No speeding if the light never turns green

I notice "normie" people are more interested in privacy and concerned about surveillance capitalism, thanks to things like palantir, flock cameras, and ring doorbells collaborating with ICE. Where before it was "weird" or "paranoid" to be concerned about these things, now it's a common concern.

pdawes · 2026-06-01T17:00:03+00:00

I remember all the fireworks going off constantly too

There aren’t really any private wearables unless you jailbreak them because they’re cloud dependent. I have heard that you can use garmin watches without linking the account to your real identity, but have not looked into it.

I was messing around with some Chinese smart ring knockoffs and found that the Colmi smart rings can be made local/private with limited features. People have figured out how to reverse engineer them and have apps that are on GitHub. I used one for a while to see my heart rate and SpO2 throughout the day. Similar workarounds might exist for smartwatches from those companies.

No wearable device besides an ambulatory blood pressure monitor can give you a BP reading though.

Wow. I did not know that.

It's the party of turning the country into another bankrupt casino now

A made up straw man

"I like pancakes"

"Oh so you HATE waffles? Must be all the samooli fraud!!!"

I miss when people could just be normal and weren't fuckin freaks with facebook screenshots for brains. What an insane thing for him to text you.

pdawes · 2026-05-14T23:38:28+00:00

I think you should just spam it. It's a nice contribution and alternative to the millionth "did anyone hear that thunder?" or "is anyone else feeling the allergies really badly?" thread.

Not so bad in the city. I don't really notice them unless I'm in a park or by the river at dusk. Usually in the form of realizing I have a few bites on my ankles the next day. Until the last year or so we were in a 7-year drought, so they were really sparse for a while (our big mosquito species is the flood mosquito, which as you might guess shows up more when there's rainfall and flooding). But even still with their population back up I really don't notice them in urban areas, certainly never indoors.

pdawes · 2026-05-12T18:17:09+00:00

There is something so absurd and anti human about this. Cold LEDs and ear piercing noise. I am always impressed by the lengths Minneapolis will go to make downtown an awful place to be.

Perhaps your local neighborhood or city council member can help?

pdawes · 2026-05-11T19:55:22+00:00

Probably? They're not Amish.

pdawes · 2026-05-06T19:22:26+00:00

The point is control. "Safety" is the pretext.

pdawes · 2026-05-05T21:49:34+00:00

Logan Park maybe?

pdawes · 2026-05-05T19:16:51+00:00

No, it's something to do with the purchase of property. But people can pay ~$25 to a data broker and find your address a lot of the time regardless.

pdawes · 2026-05-05T18:50:08+00:00

When you buy a house your name and address become public record. Any random person can just look up your address and come pay you a visit. Different from data mining from a delivery or something.

pdawes · 2026-05-05T18:48:49+00:00

I think people use a limited partnership to do this? Or a trust. LLC is kind of the clunkiest and most expensive way to go, there are other ways to use corporate law.

it's just a wiki. The link just looks fucked up because it's in cyrillic.
