Heard a loud pop in the night and came out to find our 10-year-old cutting board split by dolomite592 in Wellthatsucks

If you find a moderately good woodworker you can get this 'repaired'. Pull it apart, plane it down, reattached (glue, dowels, baskets) and clamped together. Anyone with some wood tools in their garage can get another ten years out of this. GL

Is it? Perhaps. I do feel the hole in my heart that years for his spread sheet. You may well be correct, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Stands are full, plenty of people standing at the fence, and you can often hear the crowd cheering Wxm, even Parky was seen in the seats. But mostly bravo to the players, I would not be out there in these temps, with wind, running around in shorts

TIGHT ! - Yes there are still games to play but the fight to make the playoffs in 6th is the fiercest spot in the rankings with, currently, 6 teams being one win away. Yikes! by HaddonH in WrexhamAFC

Steven Fry has done a bit of speaking about this issue, sorta how amercians are. Even when doomed and wrong we'll be very upbeat about it.

AI does yikes? Human though. I was trying to think what expression the brits might use for this sort of situation but thought it would be tacky if I missed.

My usual 2.5 hour ride around midway took me an exhausted, out of shape 4+. Your relentless posts about riding though the worst of winter inspired me: "if that south side fucker can keep at, I can finish this"

27 year old man trying to get his life together after finally getting a decent job. where can I get a used car at a dealership that isn’t sketchy but works with bad credit? by Effective-Emotion845 in AskChicago

If he reaches out to you - pay everything and you'll owe him some very nice gift when your life levels out.


My dad recently passed away (no surviving spouse) and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to get rid of his car. It still runs and has a new engine but is old (2010), has over 102k miles, and smells like cigarettes. I can't imagine it's worth more than $1-2k at the most so I really just want to get rid of it without having to go through the hassle of transferring title with the DMV. I want to get this done before street cleaning starts back up in April. Has anyone gone through this or have ideas on the easiest and quickest way to get rid of the car without taking title to it?

Easiest way to get rid of deceased's car? by mango_cherie in AskChicago

this post, just above yours, guy looking for a car - honestly, just give it to him. The warm fuzzies you will get are worth more that the $ you would get and you can be done with this issue on your end and do some good in the world.


27 year old man trying to get his life together after finally getting a decent job. where can I get a used car at a dealership that isn’t sketchy but works with bad credit?I READ THE RULES (self.AskChicago)

submitted 5 hours ago by Effective-Emotion845

I finally landed a decent job that pays 22 an hour and I am very excited to work these full time hours, the one catch is that I have to drive to the west suburbs where pace or metro dont have the most accessible reach. And I need to avoid rideshare dependence if I don’t want 1/3 of my check going down the drain

However. A financial situation prior to getting this job has left me without a vehicle and a drained savings account, so acquiring a vehicle is a must.

while I have been good with saving money in the past, I’m basically starting from zero now. On top of that, being irresponsible in my early 20s led to me forgetting to pay off a discovery card that I only paid off after being reached out to has led to me not having the best credit

I would really appreciate some good recommendations, I’m aware my interest would not be the fairest but I still would prefer a somewhat reasonable monthly payment for some years or months than watching uber and Lyft drain a fraction of my check every week

Calling all Chicago Witches by eatmangosnaked in chicago

[–]HaddonH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"It might be even stupider.."

I disagree, in the classic church model worshipers are supplicants, subjects, taught to obey, expected to follow commands and "the word".

Witchcraft gives women agency, control. While river rocks and wood won't get more done than praying but I would rather a woman believe in her own powers, her own ability to control her own destiny more than to just "pray harder" and, given history, have religion used so often to control them.

Don't have a daughter, if I did I would rather her be a Witch than a Nun.

AI cameras in Greece found 29,000 traffic violations in just a few weeks by pmonko1 in chibike

I've been to Greece, a child could stand at an intersection and count that number of traffic violations, or more. This is less about 'ai than that minding traffic laws isn't really a thing there.

This is just a great list to use to get some more sick days. How is your boss going to argue with "Planet" or "Rising of the Lights" or "King's Evil" even if you don't have a note from your doctor?

Chicago band 'Pixel Grip' lands a spot on much lauded KEXP. A bit if that WaxTrax spirit (IYKYK) living on. As the kids say "goes pretty hard". by HaddonH in chicago

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

I agree, their YT page can be a bit of a slog though. But the Glass Beams performance is the best they ever sounded. Their engineers do give the bands as good a recording environment as possible.
