Checked out the soft opening of the new @vinsyn.bsky.social store in Dinkytown! Beautiful space, a good place to get lost for an hour looking for nothing in particular, or just asking an employee who immediately knew where what I was looking for ended up being.
People in the lineup outside the Minneapolis Vinegar Syndrome, a cool old brick buildingCustomers overwhelmed by the selection of movies and music. The upstairs is not yet open and the stairs are blocked off with a chainI don’t know how many times I rented EXPLORERS from good ol’ Northtown Video back in the late 80s. The idea of three friends making a spaceship from a Tilt-a-Whirl car, a trash can, and other garbage.

Well, you have publicly admitted that you would vote for a candidate that doesn’t 100% align with your ideology if the other option was far worse, and that sort of thing just can’t be allowed.

Can we make a ballot measure to redirect any of Mayor Her’s sexual harassment legal defense funds towards Ilhan Omar’s actual, real issues instead

alright i appreciate the effort but the call is definitely not coming from inside my house. that just doesn't really make sense. the guy had a second line put in? i don't think they let you do that to other people's houses without telling them. seems more likely you're not that good at tracing calls

Confiscating the passport of the elected representative of the opposition territory in a raid with a flimsy pretext to attempt to strip them of citizenship is something we have words for when it happens in other countries

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

Yet the ratios are slightly different at different sizes — Regular, king size, fun size, mini size. I would say that Fun Size is the best.
