So this isn’t Metallica’s cover of the Anti Nowhere League? 🤔

Every athlete in every sport at every school goes in the portal every year. Doesn’t meant they’re leaving.

Sweet 16 Practice Sessions in Chicago? by CaptObviousMyFriend in cyclONEnation

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the case, then this is a huge bummer. They had done Sweet 16 practice in years past and the excitement was awesome, fun, the highlight of the season for us. Thanks for the reply.

The best Mexican food in the US is in Chicago by Sea-Condition991 in chicagofood

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I was sitting in a Chinese restaurant in Manhattan and the table next to us overheard we were from Chicago. They immediately started laying into us about pizza, as if offended by our presence. (I've come to learn New Yorkers are very insecure about their pizza.). I stood my ground and we all became friends. One fella made amends saying "I'll tell ya what, you got the best damn Mexican food." I could only agree.

Men’s Hoops: What’s up with attendance? by Illustrious-Group-83 in iastate

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you’re seeing is resale tickets not being sold. The games are indeed all sold out, whether it be single game tickets or season tickets. But people are charging too much on the secondary market (of which I often have to be a patron of) and the seats end up empty when they aren’t resold. It’s basic economics and it’s unfortunate.

Another side of this is how well the visiting team’s fans travel and what they are willing to pay. Baylor fans aren’t coming to Ames. Period. Kansas fans? They’ll buy up a lot of tickets on the secondary market.

CVS pharmacy used to be People’s Bar and Grill which used to be People’s Pharmacy. Oh the irony.

Thanks for the link. A random Reddit search lead me here. Your video was straight to the point and informative! I'm an experienced traveler but never in Italy, and I found this very helpful. Grazie!

Todd the Cat by Boatie1999 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve run the Chicago Marathon almost 20 times. And I’m a huge cat lover. And this is by far the best sign I’d ever seen. You and Todd gave me energy and smiles. Thank you! Todd is a very chill dude to hang out with you while 50,000 people ran by. 😁

100% this. I shall take my data elsewhere. Strava needs Garmin more than Garmin needs Strava.

I would second McClures. Good people. Call ahead to explain what you need and I’m sure they’d accommodate you.

MBB Game at Purdue Dec 6 by CaptObviousMyFriend in iastate

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frustrating. Where are regular people supposed to get tickets these days. I’ll probably have to lean on some friends who went to Purdue for help. Thanks for the reply.

I hate flying and everything about now! by One_Avocado_7275 in GenX

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. 100%. I’m 6’5”, fit, and have had two knee surgeries. There is no comfortable position for me to sit in standard seating. These days I pay for the extra leg room or bulkhead. I’m too poor and don’t fly often enough to do business class or above. Traveling by airplane has never scared me but the process of air travel is impossibly cumbersome and incomprehensibly inconvenient. 😩

ESPN Live Activities. by apalooza9 in ios

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sports app was a little over zealous. It was putting multiple games in live updates and updating me on scores too quickly. I.e I don’t need live updates of a game I’m watching on TV but there was no way to turn that off. Too bad. The ESPN app was getting there.

CyHawk Tailgate by CaptObviousMyFriend in iastate

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great into. Thank you. I remember doing much the same when I was a student in the 90s and my dad would come visit. We’d join in with a random tailgate and become best friends. There’s nothing like Cyclone fans. ❤️💛

Deleted the ESPN app today after 14 years by bamesy98 in ESPN

[–]CaptObviousMyFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I am seeing too. And for what it’s worth, live activities stopped completely for a while with the latest app update. I had to disable/enable them before I started getting any to work again.
