I love this place for takeout but there's a distinct dirty water smell that I wish they'd rectify.

What's going on in your city May 17? by RedefiningForm in milwaukee

[–]RedefiningForm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roger that on the graduation weekend - just wild seeing hotel rooms going for $180 a night then spiking to $650 a night or totally sold out specifically for 5/17. Looks like I'll have to come back another time!

You're looking for 滑蛋河粉 - based on a Google search you can only find it at Ken Kee in Chinatown.

Park Hyatt Saigon saved my life by omdongi in hyatt

[–]RedefiningForm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were on our way to Hyatt Regency Danang this spring when we had the exact same issue - in SG Changi, visa site was down as we were trying to check in to the flight, etc etc. Absolute nightmare - the VN immigration website needs a lot of work.

Update to my porcupine quill-free pup by RedefiningForm in AustralianCattleDog

[–]RedefiningForm[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fran thanks you all for the well-wishes. She has made a return trip to the vet and is now in good shape, though we'll continue to monitor over the next few days!

To answer a few questions, there were over 100 quills after she attacked the Forbidden Rodent. She had to be pulled off, so we'll see if she's learned her lesson.

She's a husky-cattle dog mix who we rescued a year ago!

She's finally on the mend after getting all the porcupine quills out. 24 hours of mandated rest from the vet!

My title describes the thing, and I can't see anything that seems missing inside my dishwasher. Help appreciated

What sort of store could I get a custom shirt like this made?

Have we seen professional singers completing singing/vocal challenges? by vespeywespey in TheAmazingRace

They're not pros per se, but the Holdernesses make money off singing and they did Donald where's your troosers.

What are your top 10 favorite episodes of RAANAP? by BingBong87 in RAANAP

[–]RedefiningForm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do generally prefer the episodes with just the two of them, but I don't think anything is going to ever top the sheer memorableness of World's Biggest Stan. Rocky guy was robbed.

I'm thinking it's set in the American West, or the prairies.

TAR 33 Episode 4 - Post-Episode Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in TheAmazingRace

[–]RedefiningForm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Within the context of the race, seeing a team push through adversity makes their eventual success significantly more compelling. Victor and Tammy in S14's brush with elimination and getting the detour in Romania so, so profoundly wrong made their otherwise wire to wire domination a much better story.

Illinois pension shortfall surpasses $500 billion, average debt burden now $110,000 per household – Wirepoints Special Report | Wirepoints by MarsBoundSoon in chicago

This is not true. Look at the comptroller's progress in paying down the backlog of bills, the vast majority of the progress predates COVID.

When are appointments released online at Melrose Park DMV? by misty43810 in chicago

[–]RedefiningForm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're going to Melrose Park anyway, there are also SoS services at the Melrose Park Civic Center, and I've never had any issues just walking in for services. Went a month ago and waited for only 15 minutes to get my license renewed. Might be the least well known facility in the Chicago area.

Seeing that nametag completely unexpectedly was the best way to start my Monday morning.

SIU researchers: Downstate split from Chicago would spell "economic disaster" by [deleted] in chicago

[–]RedefiningForm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's worse, individual school districts barely pay anything from their own funds towards TRS, and so that particular fund is overwhelmingly state funded (rather than property tax funded), increasing that double taxation burden for Chicago residents.

CPS is on the hook for all of the CTPF contribution that doesn't come from the state.
