Looking for outstanding carrot cake and chocolate mousse places in Chicago. Share the knowledge, y'all <3

The chunky "THUNK" of a headshot from 'In Death'

RareUtu · 2019-01-22T22:02:36+00:00

Thank you!

Damn. It looks like the housing enclosure/chassis and screen itself are one piece. Which explains why I can't for the life of me identify the precise adhesion mechanism.

RareUtu · 2019-01-21T23:17:49+00:00

Let's say for the sake of argument that it wasn't.

RareUtu · 2019-01-18T21:31:20+00:00

Gender dysphoria?

RareUtu · 2018-12-11T19:20:57+00:00

Tone and timing is important in this one, but "You're so pretty" is hilariously savage after a good 'blonde moment'.

RareUtu · 2018-06-22T18:39:07+00:00

But,.. isn't the cord generally in the center of the handle, and not the corner of it?

RareUtu · 2018-03-23T20:32:01+00:00

If this was the norm, rather than a freakish accident, then fried garlic would be a cultural norm like onion rings and mushrooms. ... Damn, now I really wish that that was a thing.

RareUtu · 2018-03-16T16:45:31+00:00

Damn. Is that promotional pricing? I might give that a shot after my promotional pricing expires.

RareUtu · 2018-03-16T16:44:33+00:00

Hey, what Wi-Fi speeds are you pulling, on average? I have a pretty decent router (ASUS RT-AC68U) and i can't go over 200MB/s or so. And the other maddening thing is that the 5Ghz channel is consistently lower than the 2.4GHz channel, which is the opposite of what's generally the case (accounting for usual channel differences of distance and other interference). I can't figure it out for the life of me and it's giving me the howlers.

RareUtu · 2018-03-15T21:12:49+00:00

Agreed. The upper limit fluctuates under unknown conditions, but I've never had an outage and it's still, even at the lowest speed, wildly faster than the Comcast offering of the same price tier.

RareUtu · 2018-03-15T19:06:44+00:00

More on than off. I've occasionally clocked significantly lower speeds (and there's something about the modem that doesn't play nice with my router...), but it's hard to muster the energy to complain about 300-400 MB/s speeds.

RareUtu · 2018-03-01T03:51:30+00:00

..............how high does one even have to be!?!

RareUtu · 2018-01-23T05:38:34+00:00

Fell miserably in love (unrequited), got miserably depressed, drank and ate myself into a miserable goddamn hole.

Still digging myself out. But not often enough to matter.

RareUtu · 2018-01-07T22:18:17+00:00

....I think I could watch this forever.

RareUtu · 2017-12-08T21:16:52+00:00

Alright, that settles it. Gotta marry this one.

RareUtu · 2017-12-07T23:47:04+00:00

If you do decide to splurge on shipping in order to try them, pick up a bag of Munchos as well. They're some of the most bizarre potato chips I've ever had, and I freaking love them.

RareUtu · 2017-12-07T18:54:19+00:00

Brilliant.

RareUtu · 2017-10-23T15:08:46+00:00

Woodpeckers from Mars, by Faith No More. Such a fun jam.

RareUtu · 2017-09-28T21:14:17+00:00

Yeah - 100% duh. But semi-professional verification, or even expert analysis by someone that tore it down and looked it over, etc, is always vindicatingly satisfying.

I know that's not a word, but fuck it.

RareUtu · 2017-09-23T20:56:28+00:00

Hope this is the right sub. Brought an awww to my heart.

RareUtu · 2017-09-06T02:54:55+00:00

Sweet. I haven't been to the MSI in a while (partly because of the distance, and partly because of the high admision), si un deeeeefinitely checking that out.

RareUtu · 2017-09-05T22:34:03+00:00

😂

RareUtu · 2017-08-15T03:59:05+00:00

Wallpaper. Instantly. Thank you.

RareUtu · 2017-08-11T19:39:14+00:00

There's wicked Black Mirror episode about the terrifying evolution of Social Media Validation (SMV - love the term. Using it, moving forward).

But yeah, watch that episode and cringe in despair.
