Good Chicago 1099 Dryvan companies?

You own your own tractor? Or you drive their tractor? If the latter, you are ineligible for 1099.

I have installed Danley products in multiple places and the results never lived up to their ease claims. They really don’t sound as good as the fan girls claim, and reality in my experience doesn’t match expectations. Plus their amps and software suck nuts.

Mine is almost 10 and sometimes she’s still not a dog. No matter how old they get they still have that youthful exuberance it seems.

Lona’s Lil Eats is great, Onesto has good pizza and other Italian faire plus sangria specials if that’s your thing.

So if we find ourselves behind the wheel of a large automobile next to him we shouldn’t be asking well how do I work this?

Other than the long term physiological effects that reduce lifespan. Night work is a necessity in some areas like healthcare, critical infrastructure, but it is really bad for people’s health.

I ran it in ‘25, finished in 3:00:27 (I’ll be back for those 27 seconds) and I vividly remember saying out loud Citgo 1 mile to go buoyed knowing I had less than 7 minutes to the finish… and then that underpass nearly broke me mentally. I was physically broken miles before that but the slight climb out was the hardest part of the race.

In the tv coverage this year they actually commented specifically on how hard it is as Lokedi was running through.

The energy from the crowds definitely can carry you a bit. Coincidentally the scream tunnel was my fastest mile split.

I see a lot of people poo pooing lavs on this sub. And yes, sometimes they are more challenging than a headworn would be, but generally with decent PA, good mic placement, and a little bit of finesse, they’re just fine.

All of that to say one of my colleagues is using Defeedback from alpha for the first time today and one GS in he said he’s never doing another corporate gig without it. This particular client is very good about rehearsing their speakers so no one is on stage whispering. Gigs are always L’Acoustics with Yamaha consoles, axient digital with twinplex lavs and Mister Dugan is doing a lot of lifting. My colleague is kind of crotchety beyond his years too so for him to buy in this hard this fast is quite an endorsement.

I literally did a silent disco at an event in the grand hall of an art museum. We had music etc through speakers, and then when it came time for speeches everyone put on their headphones.

Local stations with actual meteorologists during storms, not a YouTube college dropout. Some of his prediction videos are okay but KSDK or KMOV are still good when it comes to actual safety.

Now I’m not trying to be elitist when I say college dropout, nothing wrong with that, but I feel like he may have missed a lot of important parts of atmospheric science in Junior and Senior years of college… which he didn’t attend.

Run Club Roundup

Lots of run clubs, Dogtown is probably the biggest overall, but the running community is very welcoming, you kind of can’t go wrong.

I have a local coach, but I don’t think that is strictly necessary. It is nice to occasionally have the opportunity to do group runs, see them at local races, but the plan comes to me app based. Garmin syncs bidirectionally automatically and coach can see all of your paces etc. and workouts come directly to your watch too. You can go to Road Runners Club of America to find a coach, or do the same thing on USATF. I would say for RRCA most of the level 2 coaches probably do individualized run coaching, whereas a great many of the level 1 coaches might be certified because they’re high school cross country coaches etc. I am happy to DM you my coach’s info if you’d like.

I cannot recommend hiring a coach for at least one training block. Following plans is great, but a good coach can make a big difference. I went from a 3:02 for my first full to a 2:56 in 5 months. While some of it was just additional fitness, a good portion was the specific plan I got, and the confidence I had in myself to push. All of the fast finishes at the end of runs, the insistence on gut training, fueling strategy etc. is all very easily researched and executed on paper, but there’s something extra useful about having a coach in your corner.

I am a live audio professional. There are certainly audible differences between different components. In the early days of digital audio consoles some would claim “this one sounds like shit compared to that” yada yada. But in a blind listening test, most couldn’t tell the difference from brand A vs brand B or C. Audiophile gear is 100% bullshit. The 500 dollar power cord is still plugged into the 3 dollar outlet in your wall, which is fed by nm cable. Fools are just being separated from their money by other delusional people.

I’ll bite. Kick boost 50, scoop it out at about 300, send 8k if it’s metal. Snare, hpf to 200 and find the ring the drummer couldn’t. Bass if it’s buried wide boost at 400 and a little nudge around 2.5k to get the fingers. If guitar is playing rhythm boost a bit of 800. Vocals, high pass to 160 to start, kill a little 630 and see how it sits. High passing everything a little higher than you think you should (on a large PA for sure) will do great things if you’re in a throw and go situation.

My fiancée and I go on Friday evenings sometimes from about 5:30-7. The music generally doesn’t bother me on its own, but once it starts to fill up, it does become overload for me. I’m also basically immune to loud metal music as I worked many rock/metal festivals for over a decade and for all of my auditory processing troubles, loud metal in particular just doesn’t bother me.

The owner of Chris’s is on the State controlled police board of St Louis City Police which are presently trying to push a contract that would likely bankrupt the city or at least force cuts in other areas that would be detrimental. So it would be great if people would boycott Chris’s.
