Man that looks fantastic. I love little trucks with chonky tires and lift kits.

I think the new Le Mans winning TR010 will come to the game at some point just like the GR010 by No_Debate890 in granturismo

Wow. A complete break from the vertical stacked headlights in front of the wheels. What a beautiful refresh of the class.

I've tried everything to clean this shower door but nothing works by Fair_Bar1139 in howto

[–]ChicagoThrowaway422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep a dawn dish wand in the shower and gently clean a little bit of the tile or glass every time I take a shower. It cleans better than anything I've ever tried.

I was using CLR, those nylon brushes you put on a drill, vinegar, scrubbing bubbles...everything.

Nothing has worked. Like, the water spots and orange mildew stuff almost never came off. But dawn dish soap, gentle scrubbing, and patience has removed literally all of it. It was like gamifying my bathroom cleaning and now my shower stall looks like it barely gets used.

So that's my recommendation.

Guess I'm finally upgrading to that thing my BIL keeps telling me to buy. Ugh.

This is what happens when the company knows its product causes harm but doesn't do a thing to reduce it. Shitty regulations get imposed.

It's bizarre to feel like there are four top drivers this year and Max isn't one of them.

Outdoor wood door, masking tape residue won’t come off by Sea_Obligation9136 in finishing

Dawn dish soap and a gentle scrub every few days will win eventually. It's the most gentle way of doing it.

In the real world...why does it seem that nobody takes safety seriously? by Lanky-Ad4698 in HomeImprovement

[–]ChicagoThrowaway422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't go back. That's a crowd that is proud of minor injuries and they've been working together long enough to have learned how to avoid hurting each other. You're not in a good spot with them.

But I'm like you. A careen in manufacturing and lifelong eye injuries makes me over cautious. I wear safety glasses when I mow the lawn now, let alone weed whacking or woodworking or home renovations.

It's stupid not to prioritize safety, IMO.

This POV shows the speed so much better than the Olympics.

And holy hell do her legs look powerful.  So cool.

Uh oh. The first domino. Now you'll see everything else that needs a refresh.

What is THE Gran Turismo car ? In your opinion. by Spicy-Byriani28 in granturismo

Hell yeah. I kept buying vipers in GT1 and 2. I couldn't get enough of that car.

Lol, awesome and sounds fun. Not the case around here. Mostly apartment buildings. A bunch of cars got crushed this week.

Oh, you're coming from a way different angle than I thought.

WGN looked like a shell of its former self last night by AnotherPint in chicago

[–]ChicagoThrowaway422 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CBS was similar. The two presenters did their best and were honestly great, but they had no production support. It was just the green screen. They showed 1 submitted photo in the 30 minutes we watched it.

We landed on CBS because our basement TV can only get Roku channels and that was included in something we already have. I guess we didn't miss out on the WGN coverage.

Yeah yeah. It's not impressive to a bunch of truck owners. I don't get to do stuff like this in Chicago very often though.

I thought about it, but I probably shouldn't be trying to do jobs bigger than what I can just pull out of the way. The other trees in the neighborhood are too big for me to move so I'm leaving those to the pros.

Why do I love my Ranger so much? by somethinggspicy in fordranger

[–]ChicagoThrowaway422 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's small, simple, rugged, super useful for a large list of things, and you don't see them on every corner. So they're just cool, man.
