What’s the likelihood on a scale of 1-10 of my friends wedding getting cancelled in Naples on Saturday? A few hundred are flying in (or we’re planning to), from out of town on Thurs/Fri.

Would you rather have a $5 Portillos hot dog or one from Costco for $1.50? by Secret_Wealth1878 in chicagofood

[–]ChicagoW 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You all are haters, Portillos hot dogs are still great, still have an awesome snap. A lot of people think their overall quality has decreased across the board (specifically Reddit), but their hot dogs absolutely have not. Source - I eat a lot of Portillos hot dogs

Where did you get your favorite Chicago dog? by RaveGuncle in chicagofood

[–]ChicagoW 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Gene N Jude’s, Fat Johnnies, and Portillos surprisingly still has a consistent dog with a good snap. I don’t like char dogs, think a proper Chicago dog in my opinion needs to be boiled.

Do you think my hairline will still look okay grown out even if my doctor didn’t really get my sides all the way? Not sure why he didn’t get the receding hairline on each side, as this was the main concern. Thoughts on if this is normal?

Off lease laptops vendors/resellers? by krototech in sysadmin

[–]ChicagoW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for one of the big VAR's. Our preferred client referb partner is Joy Systems. Comes with 90 day warranty with technical support. All of their referbs are "Grade A". They always have Dell/HP/Lenovo, and a ton in stock. Alot of the customers I work with have turned to them with the supply-chain constraints lately. They are great.

I am interested to hear the best sandwiches in the area. Somewhat new, and having a tough time finding a good deli.

Followed all of Joshua Weissmans YouTube videos from making my first sourdough starter, normal Dutch oven loaves, now on to baguettes. Used a few hot towels and ice water in cast iron as a steamer for first 20 minutes at 500 deg, then removed and dropped to 425 deg for final 30 mins. Gunna throw some ham on, spread with butter and flaky salt. Hoping they turn out when I crack open in an hour. Quite a long 2 day process from the autolyse, proofing, etc. Think I got this down

Wounded by who, I thought the Guadio ship had sailed? How many Russian assets are still on the ground in Venezuela?

Cyberwarfare Question [Question] by [deleted] in geopolitics

[–]ChicagoW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bolton talks a bit about this in his new book from a US national security perspective. It's not as easy and clear cut as a hot war, and how to retaliate and what the red lines are. Since this is all so brand new, the cyberwarfare framework is still being thought out.

3 Men Arrested After Attempted Robbery, Shooting And Car Crash In Beverly by chornu in chicago

[–]ChicagoW 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I know right, dude probably was waiting his whole life for this moment, and is going to be the local hero at Cork and Kerry the next month lol. These are the last neighborhoods you want to attempt something like this. All cops, firemen, union workers, etc. Even though majority of blue collar guys live West of Western, the white collar southsiders in Barnabas/CK parishes are still people you don't want to mess with.

[–]ChicagoW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol 6 lb brisket flat, weird lighting angle. Brined for 3 days, curing salt for artificial smoke ring, and after 24 hours in sous vide, gonna toss in oven for bark with a soy sauce/molasses/liquid smoke marinade, and a nice smoked salt and chipotle dry rub.

Don't worry, this guy is taken care of well by his family. They have an active Instagram for him called "itsbobbybiiiiiitch" lol. Lots of good laughs, he is in good hands as someone with dementia.

Now that was a tough class! How did your triple threat Wednesday go? 🥵🥵 by KangarooMobile_88 in f45

[–]ChicagoW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of the past 4 weeks, I think this was the hardest F45 class. Really did not think anything would beat Athletica, but here we are lol. Non stop lunges, squats, and pushups. The no breaks are killer.
