had friends in college who lived above a basement bar on State street in Madison and there was a back hallway in the building that you could follow to stairs to a back door to the bar and avoid the ID check.

It took several months for them to catch it
Yall ever been kicked out of a bar or club? Like are you banned from anywhere. 😂

I saw *so many* Facebook posts from the "Anoka Hennepin Parents Alliance" over the past two weeks.

Thought I'd check on the page today to see how they were coping - and the page is just completely gone lol

smashed the pumpkins yesterday and put a camera out to watch the animals eat them and this squirrel was not happy being watched

the only good thing that came out of my college business ("entrepreneurship") classes was hearing Craig Culver explain the butter burger

the rest made me very quickly leave the startup world and start working for the government lol
I will say it until I’m out of breath but if you’re critical of colleges offering “fake” degree programs with absolutely no intellectual rigor, start with the undergrad business degree or I’m not taking you seriously. 100% fake curriculum of airport Leadership slop.

big fan of this Flume music video that is only birds

Now I'm curious of the overlap between birders and Flume fans

I worked for the USGS, and helped (a tiny bit) with this interactive page on orphaned wells and water quality around the US.

This article is about the 93 within National Parks - but there are hundreds of thousands more around the country. It's crazy.

my brother let his six year old kid pick a theme for his birthday party this year so he picked his two current top interests

what do you even wear to a Capybara-Edmund Fitzgerald party?

opened my windows to see if I could hear any conversations but no :(

How does one be not-nosy?

i know this was a few days ago but my extremely niche ethical opinion is if you make something physical that is controlled by an app or software, that software should be *required* to work offline or be open sourced
The AWS outage bricked people's $2,700 smartbeds, leaving them in a reclining position or with the heat up. People were unable to use them, basically. A GitHub repo exists that lets people operate their beds without reliance on the normal infrastructure

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds
When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.

Pedestrian bridges were full of protesters both in Brooklyn Park at 252/85th and in Columbia Heights at Central/49th.

Guys this shit is stupid.

We're talking about a protest with millions of people.

Stop trying to scare people about something that realistically has no risk

If they start rounding up people from this protest, we're far past "don't photograph yourself at protests" being able to save you

Larpers
ProTip. Don’t photograph yourself at a protest.
Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

The National Weather Service API returns today labeled as "Columbus Day" instead of just "Monday" and that's extremely annoying

I generally spend my days working from home and yelling at wood peckers to stop pecking my house

But this is the first I've seen one of these guys.

Sat on my roof looking mad after he tried to get in a bird feeder but was too big to fit
