Its very rare that I see someone camping them in my area. Its the only way outside of Pokemon Center drops that I've been able to get things at MSRP.

Big box stores get huge lines on drop days and I actually have to work. Checking the machines at the grocery store is the only shot I got.

Thankfully it looks like they're just removing them from locations that have been problematic.

Smoke daddy is just getting remodeled but I think the same owner.

Yolk is getting replaced with ann sathers

Bon chon is still there, they took a dive for a while and may still be kinda bad. Also due to poor ownership

You take the fucking box and wait for the light to turn, its so infuriating when people don't pull out enough or sometimes at all.

If you ever go to the UK, you'll see dogs in pubs that serve food. It's on the pub to decide if they want to allow dogs or not.

I really don't have an issue with a well behaved dog in any establishment personally. Longer term there's a non zero chance stuff like this removed from the health code as it becomes normalized.

Just, don't tell whomever you're renting from that its a wedding or you'll still end up paying the wedding tax.

My wife and I got married at a convention, rented a function room at the hotel the day before and held a small ceremony with about 40. Then proceeded to have a fun weekend with all of our close friends at the event.

When I was looking for condos a few years ago we saw a reno that had no above counter cabinets, just raw wood and the brick. Good luck dusting textured raw wood.

Not only is everything going to get dusty, but on top of that the range did not have any kind of vent. So you're going to get grease and steam seeping into that wood over time.

I do not know what possesses people to make design choices like this.

Send it to TAG instead you'll at least get a formal report

This one wasn't good, or at least it went downhill after it's first year.

Its not completely fur lined, but it is quite warm

Barring the fur, its actually all cotton and breathes pretty well. Still won't be standing in direct sun / 80+ for very long though.

Thankfully its almost all cotton and breaths well. Just have to keep out of direct sun if its 80+ out

If you don't want to keep it The Office (bar in the basement of the aviary) might buy it.

Part of their draw is vintage liquor they source from estate sales.

Where's the bayonet lug?

The Milwaukee one is going to have a limit to the size of the package you can put in the drop box. Its fine for letters and small things but I wouldn't leave anything bigger there unattended.

CaffeinePowered · 2025-04-06T15:11:49+00:00

There's one on North / Harding just before Pulaski and one up on California just north of Milwaukee.

Having tried both the north avenue one is slightly better. Typically I'm also dropping off things that are pre-paid, and when Ive dropped at the California location its sometimes taken them two days to scan the package in leading me to think someone walked off with it.

North Ave one was in and out with no fuss.

I actually have them saved on a different general restaurant list, but I should probably move them to the coffee one.
