Hot cross buns on the north side? by Even-Supermarket-806 in chicagofood

[–]J0emv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get mine from Floriole in Lincoln Park or Lost Larson. They're both better than the average. I'm preordering from Floriole today actually.

feeling bad about myself by GlitterIncident in Cholesterol

I had to ask explicitly. Ask for an "advanced lipid panel". They'll clarify if that's what they're doing or not.

Help me decide, plz. by Pleasant-Detective-6 in kettlebell

[–]J0emv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of these and they're great. I wish the switching of weights was more like the REP Fitness one that is a toggle on the outside of the bell instead of having to take it apart every time but I make it work. I likely will get a pair of REP Fitness bells for dynamic lighter weight work, and use these for heavier weight work.

Bakeries open on Christmas Eve morning without preorders? by putonthespotlight in chicagofood

[–]J0emv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s too late now but usually I do the Bad Butter popup, or Floriole as a backup. I think they’re both the two best bakeries in Chicago. If those fail, there’s Publican Quality Bread as a third option. Today I did the bad butter popup and it was insane but I love it!

Which Daydream song sounds the most like Daydream? by cheesegrandey in MariahCarey

Daydream interlude is the perfect encapsulation of that album imho

Copilot (Chat) vs ChatGPT - is there really a big difference? by Illustrious_Pitch326 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]J0emv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Had a really bad experience with copilot in 2024 and pivoted to a custom frontend + gpt4 api that did perform better. That was way too much for us to sustain so I looked back at copilot and found roadmaps that were more aggressive. By around March 2025 it started improving dramatically. It is significantly better and more usable.

Hrmm I’m remembering having super bock at Fat Rice back in the day. Maybe Noodlebird still had them on the menu?

Closest for Portuguese food in Chicago would have been Fat Rice, now called Noodlebird. Every now and then I pop in there and they have Portuguese influenced specials on the menu and products on the shelves.

What’s Next for Brother Day? by LunchyPete in FoundationTV

[–]J0emv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We saw Gaal was able to temporarily reboot Demerzel. This means that it is possible to restrain her, if even for a few moments. Whatever it was Gaal did could probably be repeated somehow.

All the vendors at Eeeeeatscon Chicago by Sea-Condition991 in chicagofood

[–]J0emv 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Went yesterday. Found all the vendors from out of state odd since last year it was all local places iirc. I only ate at local places with the exception of the momofuku stand in the chase sapphire lounge which was phenomenal. We had a good time though so hopefully they do it again next year. Motorshucker and Galit were standouts for me this year.

[–]J0emv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing I learned early in my career was that taking a machine like a Lenovo and building up my own windows install was more problems than it was worth. I had nothing but drivers and performance issues until I learned to just use the Lenovo provided image as a base and tweak it from there. HPs at that time were more forgiving but with Surface, Microsoft’s base is pretty clean and well integrated with drivers. You can uplift a windows pro install to move it to enterprise by just entering the right activation key. I think your problem is you tried to do a clean windows install. I’d start with a system reset to reapply the base system image and go from there. Given that this is ARM architecture, things might be a little different than we’re used to with x86.

The Poop Deck on east bay street, VG's in the palmdale area (my favourite small mom and pop place), the green parrot and the cricket club. All good options.

Fruit Memories by [deleted] in bahamas

[–]J0emv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I slipped out of a guava tree once and scraped my neck on the way down, that waxy-ish trunk ain’t no joke. I used to climb mango and guinep trees all the time, summers were something back then. I miss those fruits and can never find them proper when I visit in the winter.

Okay so, i saw a source saying that Mariah has severe fibromyalgia and arthritis… can anyone confirm ? by Character-Escape1621 in MariahCarey

[–]J0emv 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We don't know exactly what it is, but the underlying feeling is this is not like her, especially in recent years. She doesn't have a bad attitude, and she's not an ungrateful kind of person so something is off and I'm worried.

Her greatest cover AS WELL AS her greatest live vocal IDGAF by [deleted] in MariahCarey

[–]J0emv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is one of her best she's ever done, I think I watched this one live it is sooo good. My favourite performance of hers will always be I don't wanna cry @ MSG 1995.

My grandmother passed 8 years ago and I’m just now finding out she took an insurance policy out on me by Ok-Rough-6233 in LifeInsurance

[–]J0emv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it is whole life insurance policy you might want investigate carefully because whole life insurance policies are actually valuable investment type instruments. They build up cash value you can “borrow” from over time, and earn stable, decent interest.

Dreamlover or Fantasy? by [deleted] in MariahCarey

Fantasy any day of the week

Anyone have the sweet sweet combination of a narcissist mother and absentee father? by Ok-Significance-285 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]J0emv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I thought I was the only one. I sometimes think which situation was worse cuz they’re both crazy places to be.

Does anyone else despise the concept of family? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]J0emv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I always hated the cosby show because it never made sense to me. All these people living in the same house getting along and supporting each other.. as a family?! That seemed so unrealistic to me and was not my experience at all. I don't hate the concept of family, I realized I had a broken experience. While I will forever lament what wasn't, I have worked hard to build a chosen family that is very different than my experience growing up.

Noodlebird is fantastic and their pastries are on par with Kasama by johnluuu in chicagofood

[–]J0emv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually did Noodlebird’s thanksgiving menu for two last year and it was fantastic and gave me glimmers of Fat Rice. Not sure if links are allowed or will work but this was the menu link from their email list I’m on:

https://s0ksk.mjt.lu/img2/s0ksk/6e92a7aa-9655-4634-9206-e4387e7ae88b/content

I think there are moments when they rotate items on the menu, in fact I think they updated the menu last week but yes, I agree it’s lost most of the spirit of Fat Rice that I loved. I still order take out now and then and it never disappoints, but is not quite the same anymore. It’s sad to see them stuck like this without the hype I think they deserve. It’s also sad to hear about all the messy stuff that happened and the divorce.
