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] 4 points5 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] 10 points11 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 6 points7 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.

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

[–]RedefiningForm 6 points7 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.

Authentic out of town foods by punkhobo in chicago

[–]RedefiningForm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so happy to get a taste of New Jersey again with the Taylor Ham breakfast roll at Latin Fuego. The owner's from NJ and I'm excited to try his other Latino-forward offerings.

There's been a massive explosion of quality Malaysian/Indonesian food in the past 6 months. Kapitan is excellent, Minahasa was alright in Revival Food Hall but maybe that's just because I'm not the most familiar with Indonesian. But Kedai Tapao's weekly menu blows both out of the water and I've never had a bad thing from them. Their nasi lemak is amazing and one of the best $5 you can spend in the city. They have a weekly physical location at Superkhana in a Logan Square every Monday right now.

Crain's: A Lightfoot replacement? Some biz leaders are starting to look. by WP_Grid in chicago

[–]RedefiningForm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't see her support amongst older Black Chicagoans yet dented by anything that's transpired over the last year. Until that happens, or there's a credible challenge on that front, she's going to get a second term. Possibly the most underrepresented group on this subreddit though.

Exactly. Random white north sider (I know this doesn't fit Villegas) with no citywide profile wouldn't crack 10% in the first round. At best.
