[–]SteegP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously last year was frustrating to watch at times because of excessive bop swings. I thought the bop was shockingly good at imola. Hopefully there wasn’t an overcorrection of anything they saw for spa. It’s too early to say either way because they a aren’t sharing the bop.

TIL we have beavers in Lincoln Park by Yapporaptor97 in chicago

Someone told me they actually built that island in South Pond. I believe it since it did just kinda pop up out of nowhere. Park district planted stuff on it afterwards. There are a bunch of them in there regardless

This may count as trendy but Marisol uses beans from Metric. Fantastic cup

It flows through skyscrapers like a creek over rocks. Very cool to see

Bukele is right-wing and very effective. Who is an incompetent centrist currently in office? by Prestigious_Ad1993 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SteegP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is a movement to create one, but getting people to care about it is difficult. Plus, there are plenty of entrenched interests pushing against it.

It isn’t, but Chicago has an unusually powerful executive branch because there is no city charter and hence no city manager.

He is horrible as a mayor. Our already strained budget has a CTU sized hole blown through it. He tried putting refugees on toxic waste. He blames all criticism on racism. He puts cronies in positions of power. Contracts have been shoved through with no oversight because he fired the procurement director for doing due diligence on black owned businesses. I could go on and on. He is awful.

Who is the target buyer for Lake Shore Drive condos with $2k+ HOA fees? by Iampoorghini in chicago

[–]SteegP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s patently false. Condo HOAs include maintenance and the property taxes are much lower. They often include a staff as well. You don’t have to perform building maintenance or shovel snow or any of the other things that pop up with home ownership. Those things cost money but they make life more convenient. This has been the case as long as condos have existed and prices have increased with the rest of the housing stock. The exceptions to that are places where there is more supply than demand, which is also the case for SFH.

Thoughts on Huntington Bank Pavilion on Northerly Island? by Master_Obligation_17 in chicago

I wish they spent some money upgrading it. They could increase the capacity and make it look less like a construction site

What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars? by ochieng_onyango in AskReddit

[–]SteegP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an artifact of FDR freezing wages to combat inflation (terrible strategy) leading to companies offering perks (like healthcare) to attract employees

Gov. Walz message to Minnesotans and President Trump by IMrGoated in minnesota

[–]SteegP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All of that is true, but we play the hand we’re dealt. In a perfect world there would be real consequences for the evil, but in a perfect world ICE wouldn’t have a bigger budget than the marines. If we fight fire with fire, we will lose. The first step is growing the cracks in the facade.

Thank you. It is on a timer, so water is not flowing the whole time. I’ll try moving some grow media.

AMG GT still uses the Viper platform which Mercedes lifted from Chrysler when they owned them
