The one exception to this is probably MASH. If I recall correctly they didn’t want the laugh track at all, and when it aired in Europe it didn’t have the laugh track and was better for it.

I got worried seeing the headline, but this bill on the surface doesn’t seem that bad, it’d probably affect class 3 ebikes and maybe cargo ebikes though (are those sometimes over 100 pounds?). The guy who wrote the bill isn’t great and I’m worried the bill would have some unforseen consequences though.

Also the article is kinda awful, it mentions things without finishing thoughts about those statements and reads like one of my comments on Lemmy after I’ve eaten an edible.

I’m in the Twin Cities, I’m guessing the person you’re responding to is in a first or second ring suburb (and I’m not dismissing their experience for that - ICE never left Minnesota, they’re just operating in the suburbs now where it’s harder to build a response against them so they’re seeing some shit right now), but concealed carry permit requests are way up right now in the twin cities proper. People here are buying guns in response to the gestapo. I don’t know anyone personally who has purchased a firearm, but I’ve seen the local news articles about the phenomenon.

I live in a city with that kind of temperature variability and I commute by ebike about nine months of the year since I can’t get studded tires for my bike and my route just isn’t safe without them. That said, I’m only traveling about 40 minutes each way (~7.5 miles) - I’ve done rides of 90 minutes each way and there’s absolutely nights I want to keep riding rather than going straight home, but there’s also nights I’m happy to get home and have a bowl of soup. That said, I know of at least one lemming who does that kind of commute but I think she lives somewhere with less extreme winters and I think it’d be weird to tag her for this lol.

Also at that kind of distance you’re looking at range issues if traveling at full pedal assist on most ebikes if you can’t charge at work.

… And this is assuming your car commute time isn’t due to traffic gridlock. Although I assume you’d mention it if you lived somewhere like that.

Capybaras?

I don’t know the full story and I never received any of the messages, but apparently the last few got really dark.

Beautiful weather and sunset we had tonight though.

Report it on the Minneapolis 311 app, usually bike lane parkers are gone by the time someone finally shows up to investigate, but they use the reports to direct infrastructure improvements to try to keep this from happening again.

I had some asshole parked in the protected bike lane on my ride home elsewhere in Minneapolis tonight and I really should have reported them but I didn’t.

This is the right call. They’ve got a “harvest veggie burger” that’s primarily chickpeas and cheese so not appropriate for vegans and it’s pretty mid. Skip the cheese puck, go for the curds.

Probably when it becomes about protecting the public, and the shaming is to prevent harm to others. Is it okay to dox the rapist Brock Allen Turner (and sex offender registries in general)? How about doxing brownshirts in Nazi Germany (and those they’ve inspired)?

I think this would fall under a public safety situation, and at least some of the pushback to this is rooted in how normalized traffic violence is in the US. There was a woman killed by a driver in a hit and run in my city last week, driving should be treated much more as a privilege than a right in urban areas where there are other options. I don’t love the privacy issues potentially enabling this doxing though.

Planning on it lol. Was just mildly annoyed because I needed a product I have to order through their website anyway and I’ll probably need to get a month supply somewhere else to hold me over until I can get the membership and finally get it shipped.

I enjoyed watching my brother play the first two and was actually really interested in the plot but I’m hesitant to go back and play them myself because I’ve at least somewhat seen through people talking about it how they’ve dragged the series out (not to mention the microtransactions they somehow managed to shoehorn in) and I’m almost certain that the wild stuff they set up in the first two games never pays off.

I’m not sure it’s legal to call them candy cigarettes though - I’ve always seen them called something else. Yup, it’s illegal to call them cigarettes in the US, and they vary in legality elsewhere.

I only ever see them for sale in places that sell old fashioned candy, I think their decline has to do with the fact they just don’t taste very good (in addition to the changing cultural opinions about cigarettes, but I bet they’ve declined even in places where a large percentage of adults still smoke).

As someone who just tried to sign up for a Costco membership online and couldn’t get past the first page of registration, on multiple devices, Costco is kinda shit too, lol.

Most microwaves can be silenced. I figured out how to shut mine up but several hours later my roommate unmuted it, I guess some people like the obnoxious noises.

Ride the D, sadly a sold out limited run.

Yeah they’ve been doing that to a lot of people who follow them, this time they just happened to do it to a congressional candidate.

The rebel symbol from Star Wars has been heavily featured in the anti-ICE movement here in Minnesota, look up the rebel loon. Your suggestion is subtle enough that those who know will probably get it and those who don’t will probably just think OP is a nerd.
