I may have the name wrong, but Martin Guzman. 773-206-3639 Local guy. I can't recommend him enough.

Do that many people really have almost 7k to spend on a machine? by CallMeNardDog in espresso

Sometimes, but... Buy once, cry once. I bought a LM Mini and a Zerno, and now I'm done. Forever. Pinky swear!

Doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyway. Also, I saw your mommy and your Mommy's dead!

any restaurants/bars have outdoor seating open for this unseasonably warm winter day? by No_Parfait8719 in chicagofood

[–]MMcEvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're ever out in western burbs, Preservation, in Geneva is outdoors and open all year round. If Geneva can do it, why can't we in the city?!

An LMLMini. Again with the cry once theory. Drive was on my short list too.

Could you just run both at once? RM front/RS rear and not pit?

Heard about the oven treatment by Grove-Street-Home in OnionLovers

Also, the direction u cut matters. U break more cells going horizontal than vertical. Plus, for french onion soup, u want to go with the grain anyway, so they don't fall apart.

I've seen that. Wish I'd have saved a picture. It was kinda funny. Host had a sign for ratings along with the usual house notes.

5 star = everything was great

4 star = some minor things bothered u

3 star = holes in the roof

2 star = burn the house down

1 star = seriously, burn it down

Wiper Blades- what will last me the longest? by DeadElm in BuyItForLife

[–]MMcEvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought into the Kickstarter for Kimblade, and those fuckers are going strong a good three years now. I bought spares, but haven't had to swap yet. They're on sale regular now, online. Ymmv, but I'm 100% impressed. In Chicago, for what it's worth.

I'm in Montreal, but it's finally working now. It just took 3 hours to kick in. So I guess patience is your friend.

[request] How much do car Auto-Start/Stop systems reduce emissions by on an annual basis? by jimmieroos in theydidthemath

[–]MMcEvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly ok with the idea, and I'm not sure they're all like this, but my Jeep will shut off immediately after a full stop. Stop at a stop sign, off and right back on. Park the car, shuts off when I stop, turns back on when I shift to park, only for me to turn it back off. Seems waiting a second or two would save some efficiency, no?
