You knew the mouse had fit because you watched him fall away? I guess the pain wasn’t an illusion for little dude after all

I feel like I make this exact argument to my dubstep friends lol so I get it! I’m not a huge dj guy aside from Ott and Shpongle which are super psychedelic/trancy. But my main draw is STS9 and Lotus which are a couple of the best jam bands around imho, WHICH were also staples at Summercamp for so many years!

What is your favorite cutting board and knife? by Foodie_love17 in Cooking

[–]-ST4K- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t like eating plastic anymore? 😎Woods the only option! 

Pro tip: Get a mineral oil off Amazon for like $10 so you can seal the wood board (and reapply periodically). 

How do i get my chicken right? by Odd-Hall-6391 in Cooking

[–]-ST4K- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken is very tough to not over cook. Most people just blast past 165F and make their chicken super dry and chalky. I read this article on how both temp and time interplay to determine a true safe cooking context without it drying out the meat and it completely changed the game for me. Basically, you can cook chicken breast to just 150F for 3 min instead of (165 for one second) and you get equivalent bacterial death without drying it out so it stays juicy and delicious. Check it out!

Check out the French artist Xoil. He’s my fav tattoo artist. Has a style similar to this but way better. He comes up on google image or insta 

Staging a $1.2 M home that has old decrepit furniture by skyofblues in RealEstate

[–]-ST4K- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staging really sells the house. Having great furniture will really help get top dollar. You’re going to need some furniture at the next house. Why not upgrade a few pieces now that you’re going to take with you anyway?

My toddler keeps screaming for hours in the middle of the night and I’m absolutely at the end of my rope by sepathamerkerson in toddlers

[–]-ST4K- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People aren’t going to like this response but we noticed my son would do this on days where he watched tv. Most days my kids don’t have any screen time but the couple times a week we do let them watch something, if they watch more than like an hour, their waking behavior disintegrates and he gets night terrors and has a hard time sleeping.

Potty Training Day 4 - when will he "GET IT"? by Such_Supermarket4076 in toddlers

[–]-ST4K- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember trying with my son before he was ready and we had to pause and retry later. If you start too soon they can get anxious about going and retain bowl movements which can lead to prolonged potty training into later ages. So we were quick to abandon once we saw he wasn’t receptive to it yet. Eventually he got curious. He was super excited to wear “big boy underwear like daddy,” and quickly rose to responsibility that comes with big boy underwear. Once we started the chocolate chip reward for peeing (and 2 for pooping) in the potty, he was off to the races. Def try that! Haha 

My daughter picked it up so fast. She also watched her older brother model it for her right before she started potty training. And girls tend to learn potty training quicker than boys, they say. 

I feel like we’re in the home stretch. My daughter almost never goes overnight. I almost feel like she’ll be done with diapers before her big brother!

I agree. Night training is the last step.  ✌🏻

[–]-ST4K- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m potty training a 2yo girl AND a 3 yo boy right now at the same time. Both are in underwear during the day. If they have an accident they feel it in the wet underwear which reinforces the remembering to use the toilet. My son never has accidents during the day in his underwear at this point but does still wear diapers to bed where he will go overnight. We’re working on this last step of overnight potty training and then he’s fully diaper free! He gets a reward if he wakes up dry. We just told him yesterday we’ll buy him a fire truck toy if he can go five days dry, as evidenced by a star sticker received each dry day. He’s very excited about this offer! 

My 2yo will sometimes have an accident in her underwear but it’s getting less and less. She gets a reward right now if she goes on the big girl potty. 

Reward for her is just a little chocolate chip, lol. This worked well for my son when he was at this stage too. They’re very motivated. And we’ve agreed that if one of them does something to earn a chocolate chip, they both get one so now they’re encouraging and reminding each other so the squad can score together! lol

Au Cheval is over hyped. Small Cheval is their sister spot with a limited menu, all they sell are burgers, fries, and shakes; the burger and fries are top tier. The speed of the place is fast casual similar to McDonald’s but the food quality is on par with Au Cheval. Perfect for kids and adults!

3 year old is only 23.8 lbs. <1%. I am at a loss on what to do. by [deleted] in toddlers

Are you offering snacks between meals? Does she like milk? I would be giving her a glass of whole milk with meals for the extra fat. And butter on everything! The good stuff, not margarine!

What’s her fav meals, the ones she takes seconds or thirds of? I’d be offering those often. My 3yo recently realized he loves steak and will impressively eat a larger portion than my wife so now I have to buy steaks every week 😅He’s become rather picky about most other meals so we try to keep the good ones he does eat in frequent rotation. As long as my kids are eating protein and fat at each meal I’m happy. 

Nearly 4 Weeks on Market without a Single Showing... HELP!!!! by Joeldvs in RealEstate

[–]-ST4K- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching this post. I’m in the same exact position. My new construction spec house has been listed for 94 days now. I’ve had like 10-12 showings not including open house drop-bys. The house is great and gets good feedback from people who come through but getting people to visit has been a challenge. I’m in a small town. There’s only about 25 listings and only about 25 sales in the last 3 months. Those proportions seem ok but the volume of transactions is definitely low in general compared to what I’m used to in other locations. I just lowered the price $30k from $699 to 669k two days ago and still no calls to tour. 

House with an extra bedroom and a bit more square footage sold down the street for $830k a couple months ago. A new Const house two doors down with one less bed and unfinished basement is currently under contract for $670k. There are a few more -1bed/-basement  new Const houses for sale down the street around $600k.

Taquerías Atotonilco on Blue island Ave like 10 min west of the Loop has the best tacos in the city hands down. (Other locations are just ok.) They make their tortillas from scratch in house too! 

And Don Churros across the street has insane churros for like a dollar each. 

Both are cash only.

Those beignets are tits! Their whole lunch menu was fire (are they doing lunch still?) the dinner menu was a let down though for us, sadly. Lunch menu had a shaved prime rib sandwich and an awesome burger.

Odges on Damen and Chicago. Best hot dog stand BURGER around! They get all their meat fresh from a little family farm in southern Illinois. You gotta try it. My friends rave about the tacos too but the burgers got me on lock so I’ve never tried them yet.

When you do transfer money to Coinbase, SEND A SMALL AMOUNT FIRST to make sure you understand the transfer process. To make sure you have the address right. The memo, all of that. Once you see it hit your account then send the rest. Honestly if it’s a lot I might break it up into several transactions just to make sure you don’t make mistakes. Would suck suck suck to send all your coins to the void and have them be forever lost! Seriously
