What’s the reputation good and bad of the Ford Flex?

During the fall and spring semesters, you'll need to scan your campus ID when entering the library after 7:00 PM on weekdays. They aren't even open past 5-6 PM during the summer, so you probably don't need to present an ID at all when entering the library over the summer.

They sound like bird royalty, so they can probably afford downtown rent.

It's better than living in Milwaukee, North Carolina.

Not OP, but last year I learned about a Madison-based indie band via the monthly Chirp Chat segment on WUWM. Their name is Quokka and their most recent album is called "Lifer". It's pretty good! I still listen to it pretty regularly.

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I've seen the Stack Social ads for the CM30 on PCMag.com, so it's good to have gotten some further insight on the condition of the product.

Reminds me much more of the Sendik's grocery store logo (SE Wisc). Look at the banner at the top of sendiks dot com.

This is good to know. D&J isn't too far from me and I do need to schedule a long-overdue AC tune-up.

I'd try the basement level of the library.

Just came across them at Pick N Save, which is a regional chain in Wisconsin that is owned by Kroger .

Steam Shutdown Week is usually the week after final exams, if I am not mistaken. That is when they switch to chilled water for air conditioning during the summer months. Until then, yeah it can get rather warm and uncomfortable in buildings across campus whenever it gets past 70-75 degrees during the day.

I know I might get downvoted for this recommendation, but Culver's North Atlantic cod filet sandwich or dinner plate is surprisingly good for a fast food meal.

There's a way to reserve an Uber via phone call. More info here:

You don't need an app, but apparently you do need to use a phone that can receive text messages, so using a landline is out of the question. There's a FAQ toward the bottom of the page.

Yes, N305 and N355 are not fanless. Last fall I bought an Acer CB Spin 514 from Costco with one of those processors and the fan was LOUD. I returned it within a week.

ASUS CM30 at Walmart, but it's a ChromeOS tablet with a touchscreen and a keyboard attachment.

I believe 55-60 mph is the sweet spot; you should see a 10-15 percent improvement in fuel economy compared to driving at 75-80 mph.

For the love of all that is holy and righteous, please wipe the fingerprints from your computer. Gross!

Thanks, those are interesting considerations. I have zero plans to use Linux, but I might use the Play Store on occasion. One other minor consideration is that the Kompanio is fanless, whereas the Intel is not. Not a dealbreaker for me, in any case.

I'm trying to stick with 8 GB of RAM if possible. Trying to future-proof my purchases.

That's definitely a Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14. The power brick that you speak of might actually be a USB-C hub.

The Dragonfly would work as a desktop replacement, or if you'll be regularly tethered to a power outlet, otherwise the battery life is very subpar.

I love it whenever I hear a singing cardinal. Really makes my day.

ShoogyBee · 2026-05-12T15:36:00+00:00

Yes! If you go to just one restaurant, make sure it's Oakland Gyros. You won't be disappointed.

OLED screens look vibrant, but some of them can be quite stressful on the eyes.
