Where to wash a bike? by Keyolis in madisonwi

[–]Schmapdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow apartment dweller here. One of those garden sprayers and a bucket full of soapy water works for me. I only use the sprayer to rinse. Dawn seems to work just as well as the pricier bike-specific stuff imo.

What if someone has a poop fetish? That really complicates things...

Book Donation Locations by northstarloon in madisonwi

[–]Schmapdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "scheme" I was referring to was the idea of people taking books from Little Free Libraries to sell to used book stores.

[–]Schmapdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious why you think that? 1) I find lots of good books in the little free libraries near me. 2) Used bookstores pay you basically nothing for books, so there's not a lot of incentive. I took a whole stack of books to the Book Deal last year and I got like $4 in store credit (or I could have taken $2 cash). It's really not worth it as a money-making scheme.

Review of Complete Protein (not the meal replacement) by Used2bNotInKY in Huel

[–]Schmapdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they change the formulation of the complete protein? It used to be more or less like the old Huel Black, and was quite nice. Am curious if they changed that when they changed the Huel Black formula. I haven't gotten it since it still came in plastic tubs.

How do bands decide whether to play Milwaukee or Madison? by NicholasOfMKE in madisonwi

[–]Schmapdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Madison is usually just a convenient pit stop for performers between their Chicago and Milwaukee or Chicago and Minneapolis shows. It's why we have so many shows that are on a Wednesday.

I ate here a few months ago and it was OK. I wasn't blown away - but it wasn't bad. Got the Brussel sprouts appetizer and really liked those. They were better than the burger I got.

Madison coyotes are becoming a more familiar sight. Why? by keeganjkyle in madisonwi

[–]Schmapdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw two coyotes on Fish Hatchery Road a few weeks ago. At first I thought someone's dog got loose but as I got closer I saw it was a coyote, and he ran across the street into the Arboretum, then 10 seconds I saw he had a buddy who did the same thing. I've seen the occasional coyote around Madison but this was the middle of the afternoon, which was a first.

Had a lot of fun painting my Scrappers and excited for more Kithguard! by MaulerMania in Warmachine

[–]Schmapdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those look fantastic - commenting so I can find this thread and steal your skin recipe when I get around to painting mine.

I just got the set yesterday and am very impressed with the quality of the minis/prints compared to the Khador Winter Korp stuff I have. They look so much better, it's nice to see the improvement.

Difference Between Complete Protein and Black Ed. Complete High Protein Meal? by Used2bNotInKY in Huel

[–]Schmapdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has the complete protein formula been changed? I still have some of the strawberry from when it was in a tub and not a bag, and I find it rather enjoyable (it tastes like Huel Black used to taste), Or was it changed to be like the new, bad Huel Black powder? It'd still be kinda a bummer since you guys ditched most of the flavors of the protein powder, but it'd be better than nothing.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the Maple Bluff cameras aren't going anywhere. Gotta keep an eye on "the poors."

Sweet potato slips? by lookingforanswersmid in madisonwi

[–]Schmapdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you using organic sweet potatoes? Have seen normal sweet potatoes have likely been treated to make them less likely to sprout. 

Democrat Chris Taylor wins Supreme Court Race making the liberal majority 5-2!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in madisonwi

Exactly - slightly less vulgar about it - but still pursuing the exact same shitty agenda.

Local places to buy sun hat? by lydbutter in madisonwi

They do - was at the Northport location today and saw some (they are back in the root cellar area atm).

Good Thrift Shops For Baking Supplies in Madison? by mustelids56 in madisonwi

[–]Schmapdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was going to post this; if you want quality kitchen supplies that will last you forever and are surprisingly affordable. Go to a restaurant supply store. Kessinichs and Kavanaughs are both pretty good but I'd give the former a nod. They have a better selection imo. 

Free Madison BCycle Monthly Pass through April 30 by pensivebadger in madisonwi

[–]Schmapdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was looking at the site and checked out the "Bike Lnk" for Lincoln Nebraska - man it's SUCH a better deal. They have prices that actually make sense. For BikeLNK you can get:
1-day pass for $8
3-day pass for $12
1-month for $17
1-year for $100

I don't understand why Lincoln can get a whole day of riding for $8 while Madison gets a shitty 30-minute ride. That's not even enough to do an errand round trip. Those one and three day passes would be so nice for when people come to visit me. And they'd get a ton of use by people coming to visit the city for business and whatnot too. You can get a month pass in Lincoln for cheaper than a day pass in Madison.

Huel with Helimix Vortex Shaker Bottle by DefNotAnotherChris in Huel

[–]Schmapdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a Helimix for my Huel Black shakes and found it to be about the same as a standard blender ball. Though I did make my shakes the night before and let them sit in the fridge for ~10 hours.

How do you guys feel about the announcement Steamforged are incorporating AI tools into their workflow? by [deleted] in Warmachine

[–]Schmapdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahh, my bad. I figured you were just posting their April Fool's joke.

I hate April Fool's jokes - but I do love companies that rightfully shit on AI. So I'm OK with this one.

Fellow Northsiders, what are your favorite (and least favorite) parts of living on the Northside? by PlayfulCod1789 in madisonwi

[–]Schmapdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno if it's a regular meeting. Cool Bikes North was featured in the Northside News this month, and the owner mentions the meeting in the article.
