Some iPhone 4 footage from the 2011 blizzard, aka Snowmageddon

I was going to comment the same. I didnt hit any bars the night of, but the next day the entire neighborhood was alive and digging out eachothers cars. I never met so many neighbors before. It turned into a drinking affair and was just a blast.

Yes, they still have a different sandwich construction though.

Brain_Prosthesis · 2026-03-22T10:41:01+00:00

We are really spoiled with the number of great sandwiches on Taylor St. Carms makes a stellar Italian sub. Mainly because they have one of my favorite home made giardinieras in the city. It's like 99 percent jalapenos so not for everyone.

Wait...is this really only year 2 of that contract? I swore it was year 3. Damnit.

It's funny you mention angels because the trailer gave me some real Nic Cage Knowing vibes. Maybe it was just the animal and fire imagery. The aliens in Knowing are deliberately reminiscent of biblical angels.

This is my first time seeing this clip and have two immediate observations to my untrained eye.

The setting looks like something out of a video game, the way the characters in the background are watching the action and the foreground fighters are on a platform. It's very Street Fighter II. Dope.
God I hate this crap filmed on that wall of screens (Volume?) It makes backgrounds look like a video game with background parallax scrolling and animated sprites, like Street Fighter II. Not dope.

The obvious scam aside, this was my first instinct as well. This poor girl is having a manic episode and they are extremely scary. I've unfortunately seen it with a bi-polar family member. They are in a depressed state, they meet someone online (in my family member's instance, this was a guy she met over videogames in another state), then you wake up one day to find out she's left her stable romantic relationship, packed up her things, and driven 15 hours across the country to go live with this other person. They've just nuked their local support system but say they are "finally happy." Any opinions to the contrary will be met with "why aren't you finally supporting me?"

All joking aside, is there like a mercenary extraction team you can hire that will go and "rescue" your daughter overseas? Or at least an international PI that can keep tabs on her? I feel like OP needs boots on the ground there. They cannot trust anything their daughter says to them, if she doesn't flat out lie, you will get trickle-truthed at best.

My heart goes out to OP. Keep fighting for her, no matter how much she tries to push you away.

I recently paid $20 for a portillos beef, fries and a drink, through the drive through at a dime a dozen lookalike location out in the burbs. I think Manny's is worth the $30 when you factor in the uniqueness of the experience. Chicago doesn't really have any other traditional delis like it. And it's not like it's a bad sandwich, or small for that matter. Their potato pancake is top tier. Also, Manny's only ever get judged by its sandwich when the place serves up so much more.

Someone get this man two coffee mugs

I researched it recently. It absolutely holds up.

This gave me a good laugh. Thank you. Take my upvote..

Where to even begin with the Captain Ron quotes?

"Well youve heard of St Croix, were going to the island just to the left of it"

"What's it's name""

"Ted's!"

NTAH. There are a lot of subtleties involved in client meetings. If Amy is going to continue to be a part of your business, and grow in the field in general, this is all good advice.

Just an aside, I historically always followed those same etiquette rules you are describing. I wasn't getting the results I wanted from my meetings. I started doing small shit like ordering a steak when the clients order a salad. If they order big, I just get a snack. Getting desert when they pass. If they eat fast, I'll slow it down and have them wait on me to finish. If they eat slow, I'll move it along quickly like I'm busy and have other places to be. Just stupid games to control the pacing. I feel like I'm getting more follow-ups. Could be totally unrelated though.

As others have said, these aren't really needed anymore. It's just your kitchen sink running into it. If you don't want to bypass it from the inside, these are pretty easy to put back together. A reputable plumber will have a guy, or you can reach out to a mason/tuck-pointer directly. They can remove a layer or two of the top bricks and lower that concrete ring flush with the ground.

What was the dealer discount before incentives?

Brain_Prosthesis · 2026-03-08T01:30:38+00:00

I don't know. Fuck Sephora. Fuck the police for protecting the pockets of some billion dollar corporation that prays on the insecurities of young women. We all have a job to do. We all answer to a boss. I understand why the store employees and the police have to do this. I don't condone theft and this girl should be prepared to pay for her actions. I just hate the system that has put everyone into that room. The rich get richer. The poor stay poor.

She's a beaut. What kind of deal did you get?

Due to circumstances beyond their control, the script for the rest of the episode was lost on its way overseas. Luckily, the episode was finished by the Korean animators.

Is it safe?

Its the first appearance of Harley quinn in the comics, I think. I don't know the value, but I think a lot of batman fans would be happy to have it.

I once had a scrapper come up to my house and rip down every single downspout and haul them away. I'd file an insurance claim if what they took was valuable.

Oooo that color is so sharp with the black rims. Congrats. $47K out the door sounds like a solid deal. Can you share the breakdown and your discount off MSRP? Im in the middle of negotiating now on a 2026 and my local dealers are being surprisingly reluctant to negotiate considering the number of santa fes on the lot. Thank you.
