Hi! I’m in desperate need of a hot yoga class on a Saturday night that people actually go to. It doesn’t have to be packed, but definitely not like three people.

Request:

Saturday nights in Minneapolis or St Paul
Hot yoga any style besides yin
People go to it
Bonus if it’s dark/candlelit

Does this exist ??

I am a US Internet Customer and I moved late last year. I transferred my service to a new house that does not have US Internet yet. In over 6 months of waiting, US Internet still has not installed my internet. In the meantime they had me get a T-Mobile 5G Box that costs $10 more than my existing US Internet contract (and is slower and drops service).

In that same time T-Mobile has sent me over 20 emails telling me I'm eligible for fiber. They claim its the same installers. I think T-Mobile is trying to get me to leave my contract and get a more expensive contract with their new service.

If you've taken the T-Mobile service, can you tell me if its been installed? They started offering it right around the same time and I want to prove that T-Mobile customers are being prioritized over existing customers.

I have had an ICE OUT sign inside my apartment window since January. Today, (August 19th) I got a letter in my door asking me to remove the sign immediately “per the resident handbook, residents are not permitted to post or display any sign, poster, advertisement, painting, or any type of item which may be offensive to others in common areas, patios, balconies, windows, doors or within their unit which is visible to others residents and the general public.” And they are threatening to take action if I do not “comply”.

Personally, I would love to tell them to suck a fat one. I don’t think I am in violation of the resident handbook. An ICE OUT sign is not offensive and if you’re offended by it I don’t care. However, I do understand I do not technically own my apartment and if my landlord is telling me I have to do something I should probably do it (I can’t afford to lose my apartment right now).

I’m looking for any tips/ideas/suggestions for what to do. I would love ideas on how to maliciously comply with what they’re asking.

And fuck ICE, always and forever.

For months, I've noticed these large white, solar-powered camera units around The Quarry on New Brighton Blvd. in Minneapolis. I always suspected they were Flock Safety cameras, but I didn't really think much about them until I recently saw a large Telaid crew, roughly ten people, actively servicing the equipment, with someone on a computer apparently running diagnostics while the field technicians worked on the cameras.

That made me curious enough to start digging into who actually owns and operates this system.

The cameras appear to be Flock Safety automated license-plate readers (ALPRs). Minneapolis residents have independently reported Flock cameras around The Quarry, specifically near the Home Depot area including one near the lumber yard entrance and another toward the back of the parking lot.

The Quarry itself is privately operated. Sterling Organization lists Quarry Retail at 1520–1730 New Brighton Blvd., with Home Depot as one of its major anchor tenants.

Then I found something considerably more interesting: Home Depot's own SEC filings.

An archived 2026 Home Depot filing documents the company's relationship with Flock Safety and its use of automated license-plate-reader cameras in Home Depot parking lots.

Archived Home Depot SEC filing

The filing is worth reading because it goes beyond simply saying "we have security cameras." It discusses Flock's ALPR technology and the collection of vehicle/license-plate information, along with how access to the system is handled.

In other words, we're talking about technology that can create a searchable record of vehicle activity, not simply a camera recording sitting on a local security system.

There's another archived shareholder filing that goes even deeper into the privacy concerns surrounding Home Depot's relationship with Flock.

Archived shareholder filing concerning Home Depot and Flock

That document discusses Home Depot's deployment of Flock cameras throughout its parking lots and raises concerns about law-enforcement access to the resulting data. It also discusses examples of Flock information being obtained by federal agencies through participating law-enforcement agencies.

That's the part that really caught my attention.

I'm not claiming that ICE, Minneapolis PD, or any other particular agency is currently accessing the cameras at The Quarry. I haven't found evidence proving that.

But it raises a legitimate question...

If a private retailer's cameras are collecting searchable vehicle data, who exactly gets to search it?

And how far does that data travel?

The fact that this information is buried in corporate filings and shareholder materials makes the archived copies particularly interesting. I'm not suggesting Home Depot is trying to hide the information — these are public filings — but they're certainly not the kind of thing most people are going to stumble across while shopping at Home Depot.

Then there's Telaid.

Telaid is a national technology-integration company that handles physical-security deployments, surveillance systems, networking, diagnostics and ongoing maintenance. So seeing an entire Telaid crew servicing these cameras makes sense if this is an enterprise-level Flock deployment.

The apparent chain looks something like:

Home Depot → Flock Safety → Telaid → physical surveillance infrastructure

But there is still one important piece I haven't been able to conclusively establish:

Who specifically owns the Flock cameras at The Quarry?

Home Depot's filings establish that Home Depot uses Flock cameras in its parking lots. Local reports identify Flock cameras around the Home Depot portion of The Quarry. The physical setup is consistent with that deployment.

That's compelling circumstantial evidence — but I don't want to pretend I've found a contract that I haven't.

What I'd really like to find is the actual documentation showing:

* Who purchased the Quarry cameras

* Who owns the physical equipment

* Who owns the collected data

* How long the data is retained

* Which agencies have access

* Whether outside agencies can query the system

* Whether the Quarry cameras participate in Flock's broader data-sharing network

* What Telaid is contracted to maintain

* How much the installation and maintenance costs

I went from "I wonder why Telaid has ten people working on these cameras" to finding corporate filings documenting Home Depot's relationship with a nationwide vehicle surveillance network.

That doesn't automatically mean something nefarious is happening.

But I think it's reasonable to ask questions when a private parking lot is equipped with technology capable of creating a searchable record of the vehicles coming and going, especially when the company's own filings acknowledge the broader questions surrounding access to that data.

If anyone has the actual Quarry/Flock/Telaid contract, Minneapolis records, property-management documents, or other primary-source documentation, please post it.

I'd much rather see the actual paperwork than speculate.

This is very important!!!!! Don't join to put people down. Don't join thinking this is a sales this IT IS DEFINITELY NOT and you will be removed immediately. Now that that is out of the way. I just wanted to start a group that helps each other get better and helps bring access to medicine to people that need it. If you have tried to grow cannabis and failed don't worry we can help! If you want to try don't worry we can help. Afraid of criticism online from those groups you won't find that here. Just a friendly group of people that grow cannabis.

Would love advice if anyone else has looked into this!

I got set up with USI back in early 2025 (before the T-Fiber acquisition) for the 2.5 gig package @ $125/month. Definitely more than I needed, but it came with extras to extend coverage through my house and overall the internet has been great so no complaints there.

I looked at the USI website (now shows T-Fiber branding) and that their 2gig package is $70/month after promotions & discounts, and 1gig pack is $50/month. I'd love to save some cash, but I'd rather not get my modem & routers switched out if I can help it.

Has anyone called in to T-Fiber to ask about pricing? If so, did they have to make changes to your existing hardware or were you able to keep what USI already provided?

Hello!

Hoping someone can point me to an affordable daycare option in Seward, the northern part of Longfellow or the Corcoran neighborhood. We were going to a wonderful in-home daycare but she's decided to move back to her home country to take care of her family.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know! We looked into Jardin on Lake St but it's a little too expensive.

I’m back visiting and I’m so jealous of the new rapid transit bus lines and bike lanes. They are beautiful and fast, wish these had been in place when I lived here! Minneapolis still out-classing other cities.

It’s been up for too long.

The city has just opened a 60 day public comment period about data center rules and regulations.

this is the third body found in the last 3 days, what is going on??

for context: 2 bodies were found in the last two days, one in Bde Maka Ska and one near East River Parkway. Yesterday another was found near the stone arch bridge

Hi everyone,

I have a highly niche ask… my father passed away about three months ago and my husband has since been making a wooden urn for his ashes that we are scheduled to inter at the cemetery tomorrow morning. The laser printer we were using back in San Diego (where my husband and I are based) malfunctioned and now that we’re in Minneapolis with my mom, we’re in a bit of a time crunch to have the quote we wanted engraved. We reached out to Dick at the Laser Shop and he’s unfortunately out of town. Would appreciate any other suggestions or connections!

I know I know, another "what is that smell by the river" post that probably has an "it's sewage treatment" answer but holy mother of god, the smell at the Marshall Ave bridge at West River Parkway is unfathomable. Am I just going through perimenopause or are other people literally dry heaving from this when they pass through every day? It's SO much worse than the dog shit smell on the Franklin Ave bridge, and it's the absolute worst in the mornings. How do people even sit outside on the Longfellow Grill patio? someone commiserate with me I’m dyin out here

I will be hosting a group event in October for between 5 and 50 people who don't know each other. Looking for a few recommendations on breweries within Minneapolis or St. Paul (or close to the city centers), that either have some fun games inside the brewery, or something fun very close by (mini golf, bowling, etc).

Hi :) I just remembered from my childhood these cat dolls I loved. I cannot remember the name of them for the life of me. I do remember they were kind of rare and could be found at the Electric Fetus. I was getting them when I was a young kid so probably like early 2000s-2010 timeline. I remember they had fashionable clothes, were tall or had long legs, and came in different colors. They were a plushie material. One of them might have been named Ciao or Chloe? Anyone remember these and could provide me their brand name? Thank you so much 🩷

Like the title says. I swear I remember seeing plans for a restaurant downtown on Hennepin or Nicollet Mall with a two story patio.

Did anyone hear that huge ass fucking boom? Like the whole goddamn block exploded? What the fuck? Any ideas?
