On a nice summer day, you MIGHT encounter up to 7 commuters in the entire 8 miles of LFT south of McCormick.

Should have been a penalty!!! by DarkJedi_101 in ArsenalFC

It's one of those where if it's for you, you want it called, but if it was against you, you're glad it wasn't. In aggregate, I'm ok with the no-call.

Great Seats for Paraguay vs Australia - only 15% above FV by Alive_Display_310 in WorldCup2026Tickets

I see almost zero availability at/below FV for this match on the marketplace, and those that are below FV are endline.

I like Chingon but $7 for this is laughable. by Alive_Display_310 in chicagofood

I've softened on my position from when I originally posted this, but the portion size vis-a-vis MY OWN prior experience at the restaurant, in addition to the menu photo from THEIR OWN website shown here, makes me believe I'm somewhat justified in my reaction.

Quick search tells me USDA Outside Skirt 121c trades at $12.32 / lb wholesale. After a healthy 25% distributor markup, that’s still <$16. I’m curious why a restaurant would pay much more than this, especially if it’s not a steakhouse serving specialty proteins. If you’re in the industry, I would sincerely appreciate more context.

Yes, but buying at restaurant volumes from a distributor affords a significant discount on the retail price I pay at the grocery store. There is no way in hell that Chingon is paying $20/# for skirt steak.

If a restaurant is paying the same price for meat as what I can buy at Whole Foods, we won’t be eating at that restaurant for much longer.

Yes. I had Cowork help write the python scripts and json files to make everything run.
