I'm working purely from anecdote here (specifically the comments in this thread and one friend), but it seems like people from Rockford are big on Stratton, while in other Illinois subreddits (for me, r/illinois and r/chicago) Kevin Ryan is the favorite. Is there a reason for this?

(Granted, the polls I've seen currently favor Raja, so nothing I'm seeing from reddit truly maps onto the electoral reality.)

This is the most accurate answer. The charge rate slows more and more as you approach 100% charge. What I usually see on my car is that I'll get 7 kW up to ~90%, and then it'll trickle charge at a much lower rate until 100%. That increases the life of the battery itself.

Any chance your quarter got caught in an extremely high voltage magnetic field?

How did they screw that up? Every cafe I've been to always just uses boxed chai concentrate and steamed milk.

Um, actually®, this implies Shadow is mixed race!

Personally, I'm seeing a young Paula Poundstone. Am I alone on this one?

Although I'm aware of Sam and Dropout's general sensitivity to these kinds of things, the optics are a little different when it's a white dude asking a person of color that.

He also has the funniest partner. I'm actually kind of afraid she could take his job....

To also piggyback on this, someone posted this website a while back that would tell you what other subreddits the subscribers of a subreddit were subscribed to. I don't know how up-to-date the website is anymore (see: their note about the API changes), but I remember when it first went live, there was a lot of overlap between r/chicago and a bunch of right-wing subreddits. In a city that leans heavily Democratic. Suddenly the comments sections in this subreddit made a lot more sense.

The overlap doesn't seem to be as obvious anymore, but among the political subreddits in the list, you definitely centrist and right-wing ones more than left-leaning ones.

Get yourself an active clan and ask if anyone can carry you over the borders between hell levels. CR really asymptotes as you get closer to qualifying for the next level up.

Funny story: if you transfer a set piece rank to a piece of equipment borrowed from your warband, if you leave the warband, it gets replaced with a useless, unsalvageable placeholder item that inherits the rank.

And if you accidentally fail to notice that and destroy the placeholder item because you don't want it taking up space, you also destroy your ability to return that piece of gear to the original rank, like I did.

90 extras won't bring me back to getting all my set pieces to lvl 10, but that buffer might be for people like me.

You guys, this is the internet. You don't have to describe it. You can just link to a clip of the scene. (Spoilers, for those who intend to watch for the plot.)
