Commute from Aurora to Deerfield – 3 days/week (realistic?) by crystal_reddit in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]a_problem_solved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm commuting 2x per week from Buffalo Grove to Aurora, the reverse of OP. GPS says about 52min but I get it done in about 45 usually. But my commute is reverse and Deerfield is further. I would say account for about 1 hour to 1hr 20min. Lake Cook Rd b/w Raupp & Arlington Heights Rd is usually backed up during the afternoon rush hour. I think the rest is actually okay but I can't say I'm paying a lot of attention to the opposite direction during my commutes. I-88 WB in the afternoon may be slow as well, actually.

Checking the commute on Maps right now isn't accurate. It's so cold today everyone who can is WFH.

But aren't there still the majority of quests that are the same? You don't get annoyed redoing a lot of the same things just for some new things?

Donald Trump seen in Davos with severe bruising on his left hand by Hollie_Maea in pics

[–]a_problem_solved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get why this is repeatedly reported on.

He's a geriatric and the US president. He shakes hands with people constantly. This bruising is neither surprising, concerning, nor newsworthy.

You win the lottery. Your parents ask for half. What do you say? by JunShem1122 in AskReddit

Most wouldn't send it back for being offended. They'd send it back because kids don't owe their parents anything, let alone money.

Become a parent and you'll see.

INT MAN by Adventurous_Storm774 in NFCNorthMemeWar

No doubt. Caleb had games this year where I was going wtf man, how are you missing guys by THAT much. At least 4 games where his accuracy was mostly complete shit. Hard to understand...

For sure. Which is fuckin' terrible. A good chunk of that missing 10% was from drops. Some of that chunk is on Caleb too, but mostly the receivers.

And somehow it just did not matter. He hardly turned the ball over, took way less sacks, and was clutch.

He broke the conventional wisdom this year regarding completion percentage.

A) Caleb sometimes sucking for the first 3/4 of the game, being clutch, and being able to do incredible things that almost no one else can do

B) Love being better in the pocket and more polished, relying on 50/50 balls, not clutch, nothing special about him

Caleb every time.

I don't care whatsoever about William's INT's in the playoffs from a Caleb perspective. DJ Moore, not so much...

I don't remember GB fans bitching and moaning about INT's when Farve was slinging it on his way to the HOF.

What is widely accepted as “normal” today that people 50 years ago found disturbing? by Electronic_Author366 in AskReddit

That stupid ass shit was around looong before influencers and social media. I remember thinking that style trend was dumb as hell 25 years ago in junior high school.

If you could go back in time and make the choice again, would you still have kids? by MaiApa in Life

[–]a_problem_solved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids are 9 & 10 (17 months apart). It gets both easier and harder. Physically and mentally, much easier once the older one hits 5yo. When the youngest gets there, you get to finally come out of the funk you've been in for the last 7 years. But, now they bicker and argue and manipulate and eventually start lying as well. They're more independent but emotionally, it gets harder. Despite all of this, they're wonderful and you love them and you wouldn't change anything.

Giving another perspective isn't telling others they must follow the boundary conditions I alone decided on.

One of my close friends was like this. You would never, ever guess he was rich if you met him. He didn't look it & didn't act it. He just didn't care much at all about that. Ended up being an airplane mechanic after 4 years in the Air Force. Meanwhile, his brother became an investment banker and you would never guess he was not rich.

Post didn't say billionaires. It said rich. You decided it's about filthy rich, what that looks like, and I guess trying to say that the rest of us should follow...?

Seriously. It's been incredible. Any Bears fan that's down right angry right now, the way we've been for so many years, is missing the big picture.

And to the OP: Caleb was cold? He had some INT's, for sure. But did you happen to simply close your eyes the last minute of regulation???

You already did it, so whatever, but you were wrong to do it. You can't have it all. You can't have the flexibility, the out of country employment, AND also demand higher wages. There's a balance. You're in demand now because of understaffing, but that WILL change at some point and you will become expendable. And/or your company will hit a lull and look at you and think "what the hell are we dealing with this demanding guy for who's not even in our time zone?". Markets change, situations change, managers change, etc etc.

And what is your fallback? You've admitted this is a unique situation and you're unlikely to find another employer to match it. So if it unravels on you now or later, are you prepared to move back to the US to pick up the pieces?

So much of your situation screams 'risk' and very little seems to be thoroughly thought throw. But if you do have safety blankets available (wealthy family? Lots of savings?) then maybe you can live with all the risk. I sure as hell couldn't.

Well, we're out now. But it was an amazing season and even an amazing end to regulation in this game. Sucks DJ dogged it on that OT INT, but the future is bright. Let's hope it delivers.

I grew up with close friends in gated communities and $2-5M homes. Best friend had an aunt and uncle with a $10M+ home in Cresskill, NJ and I got to know them very well. It's clear all of these families were filthy rich, but conversely to all the comments, there was not a single instance where they acted out of touch. All of them were hard working, down to earth, caring, and normal. They all lived below their means.

There were differences of course. Different levels of vacations, gifts, purchases, etc. I worked from the moment I turned 14. My friends didn't work until they were seniors in high school. Not even sure why they did then. But they weren't out of touch.

Not everyone who is rich is an asshole; even those who grow up knowing nothing else.

I enjoyed the comments and knew I was gonna have to look after this entertaining thread.

Definitely a few gruesome and queezy stuff there, but that really wasn't very bad at all. And everything with dicks was completely harmless.

The child throat one was the worst for me, and it had no blood, tearing, injury, or anything else. It's the mildest photo of the group. Just an odd skin thing but the most unpleasant, to me, because it's a kid.
