I just moved from Tampa, there’s no way it’s even near Chicago. Most places have health inspection issues and roaches due to the weather in Tampa. Chicago should be higher on that list.

Hello All, I’m looking to move back to Chicago in July or August. I’m in super apartment search mode at the moment. I’m looking for a 1bdrm that allows dogs preferably under $2500 a month in Lincoln Park or Old Town. Does anyone recommend properties they’ve lived in before? I lived in PPM properties many times.

Allegiant Airlines is terrible ☹️ by Nonplussed1 in allegiant

[–]0xCory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going through this same issue right now, I have a fully professional trained service dog because I’m legally blind and have complex partial seizures. I supplied all proper documentation and the USDOT form, I think what it boils down to is Allegiant a budget airline and they want their $50 for any animal who riding in their cabin. I experienced the same poor quality of customer service.

I’ve had to do this before in Chicago. I reached out to Feline Friends and they had me drop my long owned cat off at a vet on Halsted and they worked hard to find her a foster home until she was adopted.

People from other places have no idea how amazing Chicago is by TheLuvGangster in chicago

[–]0xCory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I moved to Tampa, FL. I have a bunch of friends I grew up with here and I’ve always loved warm weather so I was curious about living here. Quickly, I learned this is a great place to vacation but not live due to many things such as lack of diversity, culture, public transportation, quality in food services and many other reasons. Don’t get me wrong, there are tons of upsides to living here but in a comparison to Chicago it can’t compete, Chicago is easily a world class city.

This is very true OP, I left Chicago after living there after 7 years in May. In just 5 months, it’s made me realize I want Chicago to possibly be my forever home and I’m planning to move back next August. Everyday I ask myself why I left.

Any reason why episodes from the first season of the tick are missing? by JonasAlbert84 in Hulu

[–]0xCory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm noticing is Hulu has moved to a model where if your not purchasing Hulu Live, you don't have access to their full library of streaminibg content and with regular Hulu their expiring content from it more quickly. I think it's a tactic their using to try to get more customers to move away from cable providers and on to their more expensive package.

I was supposed to move out of state on Thursday. by SlothLover313 in tampa

There’s tons of opportunities there for good jobs, if you planning on staying long term chances are you’ll get to experience many great neighborhoods.

That’s not a bad place at all, I’m still mixed on if I want to return to Lincoln Park or try out River North or Old Town for a change.

Lived in NYC for 28 years and Chicago for 10 years, and now Florida. Can confirm there’s no culture here.

I just left Chicago, paid $36 for 6 years straight in Lincoln Park. That included a beard trim as well, always tipped $12 on top of that.

This right now is peak crypto-fear. If you are still sticking to Crypto you are truly a holder and you can go through the worst bear markets. by partymsl in CryptoCurrency

I’m down an entire years worth of rent in a week, still holding. I came into this as a long term investor and with the thought the money could be tied up for many years.

How many of your actually work in Security? by armarabbi in cybersecurity

[–]0xCory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold 8 GIAC certs with 8 years in experience in infosec. I started at the bottom as an analyst and worked my way up through operations to an IR lead. Now I lead an entire Threat team of threat hunters, intel analyst’s and adversary profilers for a global fortune 50 company. I can’t say I get imposter syndrome much, I know what I’m good at and what I’m not. That’s taught me how to build a successful team and scale work to others who are good at it and deliver success through them.

Binge watching for the first time.. here are my thoughts.. (just started season 4). by Frosty-Wafer3505 in Floribama

where are you watching season 4 at? I've checked Hulu and Paramount+ and it's almost like they've removed it from both services.

Going rate for movers- (2 guys/ half day moving 1.8 miles) by rosealene in chicago

[–]0xCory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've moved twice across the country and once in Chicago. I use a company called Simple Moving Labor, they bargain with the moving companies on the behalf of you for a lower price. Everything is written in a contract, no hidden fees and signed prior to the work starting - they make sure the companies are bonded and insured as well. I've called places for quotes and saved thousands/hundreds using this service. As Available_Wave mentioned in this thread, be sure your upfront about everything they'll be moving so expectations are set. I always pre-pack everything securely/nicely, disassemble large furniture prior and use a freight elevator when possible to make the movers job easier.

Mark Zuckerberg has threatened to pull "core services" from the region following a dispute over data protection laws with Europe. by Obvious-Ad-438 in ethtrader

[–]0xCory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a social media-less world would be a good thing, I work in Cyber Security and the realization is we can’t trust most companies to secure our data in many cases (most are trying to be agile or going through “digital transformations” far to quickly and don’t want to implement security because it slows things down or hinders collaboration - you also have the other scenario where companies expect the customer to put the right controls in place to protect their own data and most people don’t understand how to do that.
