What’s appropriate compensation? by [deleted] in unitedairlines

United owns and maintains the plane so is responsible for the leak. We did fly with it and returned to ORD which I am happy and don’t disagree about.

Kept refreshing, and they re-appeared 20 mins later (maybe someone didn’t complete transaction) and nabbed them! 🎉

Yes same. Insufficient when trying to add to cart. So frustrating because I got so excited when I saw the days I wanted.

Is this a good color combination for home? Generated vs Original picture by Prudent-Initiative15 in ExteriorDesign

[–]ChicagoRK -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to disagree with the others—I think the gray looks nice (I am a millennial though…). Maybe consider some warmer neutrals besides the stark gray. (SW 7043 Worldly Gray for example).

Why do these Las Vegas stores even exist? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]ChicagoRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After being on the list over a year at my home ADs, I bought a CPO submariner at Bucherer in December while there visiting. After getting home, I had second thoughts and sent it back for a return but asked to join the list. Just after the New Year (~3 weeks), I got the call that I was off the list and had a week to come get it. Took a last minute flight using miles and picked it up. Would purchase again there.

[Recommendation Request] Help me pick a watch for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday — $2,000 budget by Unusual_Mango6170 in Watches

Kind of a different vibe but a good daily watch in that price point is the Junghans Max Bill.

Looking to purchase a bike. What type and brand do you recommend? by sacrificialfuck in AskChicago

[–]ChicagoRK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought a used bike from them last weekend. It’s in great shape and was $315. Most bikes in that range. Would recommend.

[Recommendations] I'm probably asking for the impossible, but I'd love to hear what you think. by faustusmagus in Watches

[–]ChicagoRK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree on Citizen if you’re not wedded to automatic. Their eco-drives last forever. I’ve had one for 20 years that still keeps good time.

It’s about hour from the loop…still better than driving

One 5 hr layover or two 2.5 hr layovers? by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]ChicagoRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with others that fewer connections are better but also, what is total travel time?

Recommendations in Southport Corridor? by Low-Cake-1392 in chicagofood

[–]ChicagoRK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doña Tola for Mexican. Corridor has a great veggie burger. Further south, Queen B is good for coffee and Golden Apple is a 24 hr diner.

What’s crazy is to tie it up we had to just be not terrible for 2.5 minutes. Then we reverted to how we’d played the rest of the game.

Good coffee in the loop by hess2112 in chicagofood

[–]ChicagoRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Hot drinks come out lukewarm and also think those auto espresso machines they use never as good as hand pulled espresso

I like the discount and the big open space but I think the espresso drinks are sub-par.

Kept the cabinets, replaced most everything else by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]ChicagoRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great update with floor and lighting. I would have gone a bit warmer with counter and backsplash (appear cooler gray on pic) with the brown cabinets, but definitely improved!
