    The #Minnesota sad tears are always a bit eye-rolly for me. The Kings haven't won in 66 years, and that's just looking at the #NBA. However, I guess if you just look at pro sports, and you just look at the city level. #Minneapolis - #StPaul is pretty close to the bottom, and two of the ones below are Canadian (though I guess other than the NFL, all of the US major team sports have given Canada a go...and are still in at least Toronto)

    Then, if you look at cities with all 5 major sports, well...we are at the bottom. People in Minnesota don't seem to understand the media situation though. Minnesota gets sports teams because there is a whole lot of nothing between us and Seattle. Sure, you can go south to Salt Lake, and Boise is growing, but Minneapolis isn't nearly as a big of a deal as people here want to believe. It is nice though, we get lots of concerts and stuff, but there is a real reason why it is hard to attract talent here.

    That said, I really don't understand how the Wild aren't better than they are.

    *Cincinnati (1990)
    Barry Larkin, Jose Rijo and the Reds pulled off a 4-0 sweep of the Oakland Athletics in the 1990 World Series. That gave the Reds their fifth World Series championship.Others: Bengals (none).

    Edmonton (1990)
    Mark Messier and Craig MacTavish led the Oilers to a 4-1 series win over the Boston Bruins in the 1990 Stanley Cup finals. That closed a decade where Edmonton won five Stanley Cup championships.

    30 years or more:
    Calgary (1989). The Flames beat the Canadiens in six games to win the 1989 Stanley Cup finals.

    *Portland (1977). The Trail Blazers won their only NBA title behind Bill Walton to beat the 76ers in six games.

    *Buffalo (1965). The Bills won back-to-back AFL titles in 1964-65, but Jim Kelly and Co. lost four Super Bowls and the Sabres have never won the Stanley Cup.

    *San Diego (1963). The Chargers, now in Los Angeles, won a AFL title in 1963. The Padres lost the World Series in 1984 and 1998.

    1. Minneapolis' Third Precinct served as 'playground' for renegade cops
      Even before George Floyd was killed, the south Minneapolis precinct had a reputation for being home to police officers who played by their own rules.

      First appearances are typically procedural, but Thursday's hearings for three fired Minneapolis police officers quickly turned contentious.

    It's pretty demoralizing to never get any responses from anyone but @lnxw48a1, but I am nothing if not persistent.

    I realize I could interact more and gain more followers and I could post more. Maybe I'll give Mastodon a shot a see if I get more interaction there. I don't think I've joined an instance but maybe I have.

    Anyway...

    My team is looking!

    Requirements (I mean, that's what HR calls them, but not really...):
    Expert level in a number of open source packages.
    Broad and deep familiarity with multiple projects to include #Java and #J2EE, #JBoss, #ActiveMQ, #Drools, #HornetQ, #Hibernate, #Spring, #Linux (focus primary on #CentOS or #Ubuntu), #Apache #HTTPD, Apache #Tomcat, #MySQL, #PostgreSql, #Opensource project and community participation and Production/24x7 experience.
    Database administration; #postgresql/ #mysql/ #mariadb experience very desirable
    Expertise in #Cassandra, #Kafka, and/or #cloudnative applications is a plus.

    Minimum of five years of software development and design or systems administration or level 3-4 technical support experience.
    Technical knowledge, skills and expertise in complex infrastructure, web-based software and enterprise software
    Understanding of software best practices; #SDLC, #SCM and #Agile development principles.

Additionally, based on needs of our customers, you will be involved in presenting training classes (both onsite and remote depending on need of the client); short-term professional service engagements to assist with architect and design solutions; working on internal projects; and enhancing current skills by continuing to learn new open source technologies.

    OpenLogic provides enterprise services for hundreds of open source projects — including #OpenJDK, #Kubernetes, CentOS, and #MariaDB — so you can boost efficiency and savings with free software, while cutting risk.

    Responsibilities:
    Interact with end users on technical problems.

    As many of you know, last July my co-host and I ended our music podcast of 8 years.

    Since then, I've thought off-and-on about starting something new and I think I finally figured it out.

    Working title: Bicyclists on Bikes talking Bull.

    The premise is similar to that of Comedians in Cars getting Coffee.

    So, if you find yourself in #Minneapolis !minnesota and want to go for a leisurely ride, let me know! I have 3 bikes if you need to borrow one.

    I'm #cycling 300 miles around #Minneapolis and #StPaul (and inevitably some of the suburbs).

    Get at me if you want to join for a little...or all!
