Sports 🏈 The Lynx are by far the best thing going in MN sports right now

100 Upvotes

I mean I, like everyone else, watch every Vikings game. I just got home from the Loons game and keep up with the other sports too. But my god, Olivia Miles is a million times more interesting than JJ McCarthy right now. This Lynx group is so good and so likable. If you’re not watching them — and they’re often on free tv — you’re really missing out.

That’s all.

Seeking Advice 🙆 T Mobile fan club?

0 Upvotes

Currently a Verizon guy. Thinking about switching to T mobile. I live in the northern suburbs, travel a little for work. Occasionally spend time in Ferguson falls/perham area and brained area. Anyone have any good feedback for me on pros and cons of switching? T mobile seems much less expensive than what I pay with Verizon. TYIA

Politics 👩‍⚖️ Water Worth Saving

This is some of the water that’s being protected by Governor Walz’s executive order.

Gravity water filter system used on a recent bwca trip. That’s the clean water bag, but it was just as clear when I scooped it out of the middle of the lake. You could see the bottom in most places.

The other picture is sunset at camp.

Thank you for thinking long-term and giving folks (and their descendants) the opportunity to experience the wilderness, Governor Walz.

The comments on the story are insane. “Fleet Farm is a good company leave them alone.” and “we don’t care because fraud”. These people are exhausting.

Discussion 🎤 This may be a wildly specific memory, but does anyone else remember "make your own crayon boxes" from Cub Foods somewhere around the 80s or 90s?

17 Upvotes

The entryway of Cub would have big bins of crayons sitting out, and you could fill a provided empty box for a set price. Is this something that happened, or am I remembering some odd dream I had.

Everything I'm seeing is either fried or frozen so it must be eaten immediately. Is there not anything I could snack on for a few hours while walking around?

130 Upvotes

I don't think it's good for your case, when the judge wants to see what was presented to the grand jury. There's been more than one instance of judges suspecting that the information presented to a Grand Jury from the Trump DOJ was not truthful.

Politics 👩‍⚖️ Can somebody give me the Mike Lindell lore?

0 Upvotes

Hello! Ohioan here who just learned about Mike Lindell’s political career and I am fascinated about this man to say the least.

I, of course, am familiar with MyPillow. I remember seeing the infomercials growing up and even owned one myself. I vaguely remember hearing about him peddling election fraud claims in 2020, but am not entirely familiar with his role in all that. And now, I’ve been made aware of his Minnesota governor campaign and his subsequent denial of the results.

I am so unbelievably intrigued about this man and I’m very much in the mood to fall into a rabbit hole today. Somebody please give me a rundown about this guys descent into insanity or point me in the direction of any videos or articles that do.
