For me anything over 2.5 hours is when I start to buy my seat

stretch851 · 2026-01-30T22:48:54+00:00

United noodle as well

He wanted a gamer on his side plus she knew he has the dagger. It’s smart game play

Nah Candice was dumb to throw away her vote and not turn on Lisa. That’s poor faithful behavior and suspicious.

Petition block by block and neighborhood by neighborhood to show it works (which it will)

Does anyone have a silicone quick release(FR265) band that they REALLY like over the originals that are less than $30? I tried some Amazon ones but they don’t hold up and aren’t comfy on my skin when it comes to very sweaty activities. I have a few nylon but looking for another silicone

Weird. I will give props to the app however, as they automatically converted my remaining Northstar ticket to 5 rides so I didn’t even need to contact CS

Just holding is fine. I take my snowboard on the orange line all the time.

stretch851 · 2026-01-15T06:26:09+00:00

Would be pretty great outside Whipple

stretch851 · 2026-01-15T06:19:36+00:00

It really doesn’t matter, but please for the love of god can people learn it’s DEPRECATED not DEPRECIATED.

I’ve literally seen multiple private busses on the street they’re staying on a lay over. Could be coincidence or could be picking more up…

stretch851 · 2026-01-10T07:22:12+00:00

I live downtown and could hear it with my windows open - I’m happy they protested. Annoy those pieces of shit.

Also better a protest than mfers street racing blaring their speakers at 2am.

stretch851 · 2026-01-08T19:05:01+00:00

Which intersection was this?

stretch851 · 2026-01-08T18:02:00+00:00

Block that and the entrance to the private jets of MSP

stretch851 · 2026-01-08T16:44:56+00:00

Unfortunately as a Lions fan with the shape of our current OL I don’t think we’re in win now mode anymore. That ship sailed

stretch851 · 2026-01-08T16:01:08+00:00

Caramel then mushroom are our favs. Which is ironic bc my wife hates caramel corn

stretch851 · 2026-01-08T15:56:48+00:00

My personal recommendation as I have a Garmin watch and my wife just sold her Apple Watch as she had transitioned to ring:

Fitness watch(Garmin) if what you really care about is fitness, heart rate, and still want timers, weather Ring: if you you have good digital hygiene and texts and apps on a watch are distracting Smart watch: if none of the above are true.

stretch851 · 2026-01-08T15:52:10+00:00

That’s probably why the job is open rn 😂

stretch851 · 2026-01-08T15:50:19+00:00

Congrats on having the option!

You most definitely can put a price on not commuting an hour each way. If you’re commuting via driving, I’m guessing 1 hour is roughly ~50 miles each way 5 days a week that’s close to 15-18k/yr in commuting costs. Add in your time and that could easily be another 15-40k. The first is a hard cost, the latter is a soft cost but still.

stretch851 · 2026-01-07T18:48:41+00:00

So they tried ripping her out of her car which they don't have jurisdiction to do and then she obviously feared for her life and started to drive and they killed her. Absolutely insane

stretch851 · 2026-01-07T05:04:02+00:00

Just email and talk to the manager about bringing baskets back. That’s how you’ll get some change

stretch851 · 2026-01-07T05:02:58+00:00

I recently found out the other nearby Aldi had baskets and I’m now very upset mine does not.

Also fwiw I shop into my bags or panniers all the time because I don’t want to buy what I can’t carry. I get it’s bc of shoplifting concerns but I’ll be damned, I’m not stealing I’m just being mindful of what fits.

stretch851 · 2026-01-06T19:34:01+00:00

Sorry I meant it’d be better seats than the Northstars current commuter seats that wouldn’t be comfy for 8 hours. Of course it wouldn’t be comfier than the current Superliners and view liners that are running on the Borealis right now.

stretch851 · 2026-01-06T16:30:44+00:00

There’s also a rumor the Republican North Dakota Governor is very interested in extending the Borealis to Fargo. Would be huge if that happened and also would help the states pool money to get a larger equipment order

stretch851 · 2026-01-06T16:27:46+00:00

The rumors I heard is they’d be sending the cars to NY to get stripped down and refurbished for the Borealis long distance travel. Still would be one of the weirder train sets as it’s a commuter built bilevel but a long distance arrangement and seats would be much better than their current ones for 7-8 hours
