ICE is out in large numbers in Saint Paul and Minneapolis today following the recent surge in federal agents being deployed to the Twin Cities. Please be careful, support your neighbors, and contact the MONARCA hotline (612.441.2881) with any verified ICE sightings.

One thing I really like about Costco gas stations is that you don’t ever have to print a receipt, and you still have access to all the receipts.

This is a friendly reminder to update your firmware.
Especially if you have D-Link or Asus Router.
And if you have a micro-focus motherboard: you probably need up to update your BIOS as well. Urgently.
Also chrome.
Jesus people take care of your stuff! :) LOLOLOL

I have a theory that PaaS vendors struggle with AI application and adoption because their solution “can do anything”.
Whereas, point solutions that solve specific problems easily find ways to apply and benefit from AI features.
What do you think? Am I off?

NEW: Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life.
No matter what happens in Washington, we’re still focused on making Minnesota the best place to live, work, and raise a family.
