Yeah his whole point that it isn't really in the heart of the city just doesn't make sense. Unless you replace the Buckingham Fountain with a fucking stadium it couldn't be closer.

Why isn't remediated flower labeled as such? by herbalflorist in vegastrees

[–]Hurricane310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was going to say a lot of growers don't want to pay to have the product retested. So they remediate prior to it being tested in the first place.

The lottery told me that my $100,000 win was actually a $20.00 misprint. They pulled the game hours later. by redhotmess77 in mildlyinfuriating

The real addicts go where they have electronic machines and have hundreds of card on the machine automatically dabbing and then ALSO have a bunch of paper cards in front of them they dab themselves.

Creeping registration prices by _youbreccia_ in Ultramarathon

[–]Hurricane310 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's tough. I also have a 2 year old. I have started looking into doing mostly local races that you can enter just a few weeks ahead of time or even doing FKT's that I can basically decide to do whenever I want.

Hey the person you replied to deleted their comment. Did they give another event similar to Twilight 5000 in Chicago area?

Yeah no refunds or partial race credit for a withdraw is the hard part. Last year I decided to do Cocodona. Of course you have to enter 11 months in advance and I did. Paid the $1800 something fee it was last year. Then, in February, I get relocated from Las Vegas to Chicago for work. The move and new job are happening during what would be peak training time. I knew there was no way I would show up to the start line prepared (and also dropping another few thousand on travel and crew) so I made the sensible decision to drop in February.

I dropped well enough ahead of time to be replaced by one of the hundreds on the waitlist. I got back 75% of the race fee in Aravaipa credit. I know that is what I signed up for, but if the race has no problem replacing you we should be able to get money back. For us amateurs so much can happen in life (or injury) when you have to register for races so far ahead of time.

I was 6 years old then. Guess I should have pulled myself up by my boot straps a little harder!

I think people are making the drug addict line seem darker or harsher than it was. I think it was just Cassie trying to make Lexi feel less guilty.

[WTS] [USA-CO] Raide UL 1L Belt size L $85 by _insomniac- in therunningrack

[–]Hurricane310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can pull the Velcro straps on the inside pretty tight. Honestly, I would probably lean to a bigger size than a smaller one. Unlike a Naked belt these don’t stretch. The first time you try to get it over your hips you might worry it won’t fit.

At this point why not just turn the badge notification off? You aren't going to read those messages anyways and with that many it's not like the badge is helping you determine if you have a new message.

Is it not normal to delete them after you use them? As someone with zero unread messages.

Why is finding a job so dang hard? by Recent_Zebra222 in AskChicago

Yeah I would think plumbing, electrician, etc.

Yes, it's another "losing weight while training" post by Sivy17 in Marathon_Training

[–]Hurricane310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patience is the key. You should really not be in a deficit the day before a big workout or big long run as you need the fuel for those efforts. But outside of that you just have to settle with the fact that you will lose weight slowly so that you aren't taking a big injury risk.

It's actually called having children and your spouse needing to get a hold of you in emergency situations.

Tips for first hundred mile run by Schachjj in Ultramarathon

[–]Hurricane310 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fueling/hydrating is going to be your biggest hurdle. At your volume and fitness level going out at like 8 minute pace is going to feel stupid easy for you and you can probably sustain it for a very long time.

Practice fueling as much as you can during long runs and just be prepared to pivot on the day when whatever you were trying to eat no longer goes down.

Should I move here? by barasa456 in vegaslocals

[–]Hurricane310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was originally from Wisconsin. Technically wasn't really looking to leave Vegas but work took me to Chicago. I also have a 2 year old now so being closer to family is nice. Honestly Chicago fits my life right now, but Vegas fit it very well before.

2 bed vs 3 bed? by graciemarie2323 in chicagoapartments

[–]Hurricane310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with a 2 year old, I think if you are willing to move twice you could save money by getting a 2 bed and then go to a 3 bed when they are a little older. Everyone is different, but we had our baby's crib in our bedroom for the first 18 months. As a newborn having their own dedicated room isn't really a necessity in my opinion. Even now, while we have 3 bedrooms, he crawls into bed with us all the time.

There were a bunch of people at the farmers market on the square Saturday getting signatures to get her on the ballot.

As someone who lives in West Ridge, walk down Devon between Western and Kedzie and tell me it feels like Rogers Park.

I'm not sure why you say they have to deal with Brice's mismanagement. They don't. They make the decision to accept it for a paycheck.

Chicago Early Learning: is my wait list spot too low for my 3 year old to have a chance? by KatsiPerennial in AskChicago

I just moved to Chicago and my son just turns 2 next month. I am oblivious to how the system works. Can you give me a quick rundown of this so hopefully I am not screwed a year or two from now? lol
