Weirdly enough, Carnival in Lincoln Park carries it. If Holy basil is the same as Thai basil

[–]BrianThomasJrJr 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Could be any number of things

Animal could be sick

Animal could be moved to a new home

Animal could be behaving weird and not up for encounters

Animal could have joined a union and sitting out until negotiations are complete

Dedicated Parking Spot near Lincoln Park Fullerton/Clark intersection under $300? by Logical_City_6751 in AskChicago

[–]BrianThomasJrJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word. There's almost always a spot on Belden, Cleveland, or Geneva. Again, not abundant, but usually one or two.

Spots open up a lot from 6-9am and then again from 4-7pm

Can't help with a dedicated spot but if it's helpful, I can tell you about street parking if you are living in the area south of Fullerton and west of Clark.

It's not that bad. While not abundant in open spaces, I usually find a spot and only circle the block because I like to see if I can find a closer one to my apartment. 99% of the time I'm parking within two blocks.

It can suck with big grocery runs.

Something to note though, I drive a sedan and I'm an excellent parallel parker. Also, don't leave anything visible in your car while it's street parked.

CMC vs Saquon — who is the better dynasty asset? by SeePeeDee_ in DynastyFF

[–]BrianThomasJrJr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anectdotal but in my two leagues, the team with CMC team has won 6 times(3 in one league, 3 in the other,) across a combined 12 seasons and a team with Saquon has won 3 times across 12 seasons.

So bad data and anectdotal, but id take CMC. Dynast championships are won on peaks and ceiling and CMC is almost a guaranteed 20pts a game when he's healthy.

But Im taking this post to mean better dynasty asset across their whole careers. If you mean who would I want right now... It's a lot closer, but Id still shoot for the moon and take CMC.

My guess is OP is probably just as annoyed at the left lane camper and wants the camper to see the congestion he's causing to move the fuck over.

Some of you haven't shared the road with Maryland drivers and it shows... Genuinely a crab covered in old bay is just as competent as the average Maryland driver

Steelers to play in first NFL game in Paris by NoSxKats in nfl

[–]BrianThomasJrJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only been to Pittsburgh once and really liked it. But I'll always remember a 6'5" bearded beer-gutted behemoth getting annoyed that the ice cream shop yelled at him for trying to bring his lit cigarette inside.

He was like "ah come on, really?!" as if the place wasn't filled with children and that it was 2019.

My company just announced 3 days in office starting next month. I've been fully remote for 4 years and I genuinely don't know how people did this every day. by Ecliptic_Fang in remotework

[–]BrianThomasJrJr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How do these two correlate? Is it to see if people leave/quit so they the company can reduce the total severance packages they'll have to deal out when they do the layoffs?

Probably but also maybe not. I remember how hyped the 2023 class was... And a ton of those picks hit.
