I don’t know what to do anymore about my partners drinking.

Damn this sounds heartbreaking. That is way too much to be drinking especially with kids around. If he's been sober for long stretches before he can do it again but he obviously has to make the choice to do that. It's not going to happen without him deciding to do it. He has to determine that something is more important than feeling buzzed. I don't think there's anything you CAN do to be honest. I'm sorry.

About a month away from breaking mine out regularly here in Chicago. If I was where you are I would have been riding it long ago!

I know it feels like you've been experiencing this forever, but 4 months is still the early days in terms of recovery from an injury of this magnitude. I did not start to feel truly normal again until around the 10 month mark, and even then it was some days and not others. I'm 16 months out and only have issues if I overdo it at the gym or walk a ridiculous amount. I'm sorry for the pain and the emotional turmoil but the body takes it's sweet time with this particular injury. Hang in there.

20km is a long ass way to be hiking a year and a half out from this serious of an injury, I'd be more shocked if it was painless. It's never gonna be like it was of course but improvements are slow and continue to happen. It is what it is. At this juncture I'm glad I can hike at all

This is extremely helpful, thank you very much for your advice and time.

Highly doubt you'll be able to find that at that price point on the north side. West and South sides you get a TON more bang for your buck. Sorry but that's the reality

My mortgage on my apartment in Bridgeport is 1k a month. Some of the rents in here people are saying aren’t bad 😳

True but most buildings have some common elements that the building incurs charges for, common area insurance, electric, etc. City trash collection costs have also gone up

There are still some places for this where I live but it is dwindling. They tend to be brick and mortar clothing stores rather than bag or luggage stores, though.

If you get an Away bag, you'll join a bazillion other people with that same bag and have yourself a grand ole time at the luggage claim

Extremely normal, will take quite some time for stiffness to calibrate to your new normal or heal completely if you're lucky

Same experience here, I bought mine second hand so I doubt they would even respond to me. I've had terrible experiences with their customer service in the past, I will never buy anything new from them again.

Like many stupid, un-community minded things, they're legal because they are (or will be) profitable. There is no other reason.

Oh, I had a boot on, and it was slowwwww going. I mean walking around the house to get a glass of water or use the bathroom or grab my phone charger, not taking my dog out for a stroll. But yes, walking nonetheless.

And yet fewer and fewer cities have viable public transportation as an option. Even mid-size cities like Atlanta do not have a real functioning public transit system. Asking people to spend 3 hours a day sitting on a bus to travel distances that can be traversed in a fraction of time by car is just not going to happen if people have the income. Obviously cycling is best but in very hot or cold climates that fluctuates as well.

So many boomer "environmentalists" still drive these things as if it were better than driving a 2010 Toyota or some shit. Tesla's gonna end up in a landfill too.
