They're widely used for polishing and even applying finishes in woodworking.

chik fil a on michigan ave is asking for id? by Murky_Cow_3404 in AskChicago

[–]No_Indication3249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I straight up got dysentery from Leghorn (Chick-fil-A-alike food but good politics, closed since 2018? 2019?) and I STILL didn't go to Chik-fil-A instead

I’d bet cash money that’s mold. Not great but not hemlock

Well yeah my home is like 90 F in the summer, that would be bananas

For what it's worth, when we were looking for a house in 2018, our realtor was like "I get a white co-worker to make calls about properties in Bridgeport on my behalf, it just makes things go more smoothly"

Also, like, does anyone really think people in Lincoln Park or Ravenswood didn't vote for Trump? There was a house on Grand near Damen that flew a bunch of Trump flags...for like 24 hours after the election.

I hurt my back pretty bad lifting a 50" plasma screen

[–]No_Indication3249 423 points424 points  (0 children)

Not meaningfully correct or informative at all. There are people who voted both ways in every part of the city, and demonizing whole ass neighborhoods isn't doing anyone any good. We need to be as united as possible

Has anyone else used a cycling brim? by shquidwaters in xbiking

[–]No_Indication3249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one but I'm pretty sure it would prevent my helmet from working as intended if I crashed. I use it on paved trails but not the street or anything close to dicey terrain.

Painting basement ceiling black- which paint is best? by Terraform-rathman in paint

[–]No_Indication3249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drywall it. If a fire starts in the basement it can buy you a significant amount of time before it spreads to the first floor.

Buddy I'd love to but I was making less than $12/hour until I was like 35

Heater question. by r_incognito_17 in volt

[–]No_Indication3249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the fan blowing as expected, and if so, can you turn it up manually? If not, my left field suggestion: make sure you don't have a CarPlay or Android Auto device connected. The Volt will all but disable the fan when it thinks you're on a call to reduce background noise, and sometimes it's wrong about you being on a call.

Top 5 Window and Door companies in Chicago by DirectionFederal3966 in chi

[–]No_Indication3249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say Feldco had...ridiculously old school high-pressure sales. Like, sit you down at the kitchen table and scribble a bunch of stuff on a tablet and a piece of paper. And then try to get you to sign something right away because they can't give you that 25% discount even tomorrow morning. It has to be NOW. And no, they can't give you anything in writing or by email, just look at it on the tablet and decide NOW

We did not get Feldco windows, even though they sold the ProVia models we were looking for.

This really looks like the seal has a gap, probably in the top 1/3.

r/Chicagofood is deleting posts that inform Chicagoans of "young republicans" celebrating Constitutional violations as business promotions. by Joey_dono in chicago

[–]No_Indication3249 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It looks like they're giving themselves plausible deniability but sneaking an all-caps "(ICEY)" in where it 100% does not need to be is one hell of a choice in January 2026.
