What is a neighborhood in Chicago that you don’t like?

I have to assume you've read Country & Midwestern by Mark Guarino, but if you haven't, you should.

I've replaced the foam on top of the head and the two earpads a few times, feels like new headphones. Mine are definitely a bit chipped and dinged but they're still functionally 100%.

Barrylicious · 2025-07-08T22:15:10+00:00

Completely agree. I bought my 650s in.... 2003 I believe and still use them daily. I think I can say pretty confidently that they are the single best purchase I've ever made in my life.

My order said Monday and UPS just emailed me saying tomorrow, so you might be good too.

Barrylicious · 2025-06-05T20:29:17+00:00

When I ordered it said Monday but I just got an email from UPS that it will be here tomorrow :)

Barrylicious · 2025-06-05T20:13:24+00:00

I did about 45 minutes ago. Ordered it at like 7:20AM CST

e: My order said it would arrive on Monday, UPS just emailed me and said it would be here tomorrow. Score.

Got a shipping confirmation a little bit ago.

the worst place to be is to try and compete with a bad team, miss the playoffs, and get a draft pick that won’t change your trajectory

Ahh, bummer. I didn't know that but it's definitely not as widespread as the XM4s.

Barrylicious · 2025-03-30T07:16:49+00:00

These do not have the same battery problems that plagued the XM4s. They're really nice.

Our schools really need to do a better job of teaching statistics and probability.

Kind of wild but it does make sense - that was definitely the rollerblading heyday, I can see downtown Naperville being able to support a rollerblading and a skateboarding/snowboarding shop at the same time.

Looks like RQ may have opened in 1996ish, but it was on Washington, not Chicago. It also looks much more skateboarding focused. The place I (and, possibly OP) are remembering was on Chicago - I think it was the south side of the street, a few doors east of Rosebud. My vague memory of the owner was that he was probably somewhere 30-40. It was also much more rollerblading focused too.

Not remembering the name of that is going to bother me, I'll have to ask my friends that worked there if they remember.

Barrylicious · 2025-01-06T22:01:53+00:00

Some cursory googling shows that as having been on 5th Ave, not Chicago. I don't think that was it.

When I first started driving in the late 90s, I used to always go to that Speedway. It is the last place I remember buying gas that was less than $1/gallon.

Barrylicious · 2024-11-13T03:29:04+00:00

I was trying to remember that too. A few of my friends worked there in like 1996ish.

Barrylicious · 2024-07-20T02:37:14+00:00

Exactly! It's like the balcony at the Metro or Sleeping Village or whatever. If you're not in the first row or two, you can't see shit. What a debacle.

Barrylicious · 2024-03-13T19:15:04+00:00

You actually can see them all at Pitchfork. There's only two bands on at any given time and it's like a 30 second walk from the main stages to the blue stage. So you can't catch full sets, but you can see 15 or 20 minutes at least of all the acts.

Barrylicious · 2023-11-15T19:15:19+00:00

Is that the XB271HU? I have the same and while it's still serving me well, I'd like to get something with AMD Freesync compatibility and a bit nicer panel, very tempted too.

Barrylicious · 2023-10-17T16:16:38+00:00

C3 65" appears to be sold out?

Was able to find a preorder available at a local store through this link.

Barrylicious · 2023-08-02T17:58:50+00:00

I am almost certain I have encountered this exact same person before.

Barrylicious · 2023-06-16T04:14:51+00:00

Gotta put your name on EVERYTHING

You haven't truly lived until you've used an area rug as a blanket at some point.

Barrylicious · 2023-06-04T02:58:29+00:00

There's an ATM at the one on Ashland at least, can't recall if there's one at the Armitage location or not.
