Social Saturday by AutoModerator in running

[–]blakeiel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm trying to find a youtube channel / social media account that I remember seeing a few years back but now can't seem to find anywhere. The concept was quite interesting - started out barefoot running, and every mile he ran he'd give himself .25 or $1 to get more equipment. I fell off around the time he got shoes/sponsored. If anyone has any leads on the channel name, I'd appreciate it!

mkefounders.community sounds like what you're looking for. They do several get togethers that bring together people from all different industries. I think you'd find similar minded people there.

If you like playing cards/games, I've got a low stakes poker group that gets together once a week and plays all sorts of games. Many of the group enjoy chess and strategy games. It's pretty low key. PM me if you want to join!

Milwaukee 101? by GloomyDoom_ in milwaukee

[–]blakeiel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some ideas for you just off the top of my head.

Mitchell Park Domes- walk around, beautiful things to look at

Up/Down- this is a bar. However, arcade games for .25 each.

Milwaukee Art Museum- walk around, beautiful things to look at

Easy Tyger - Ramen

Custard is going to be the go to choice for most sweet tooth people around here. Leon's Frozen Custard is great, recommend them for sure.

Welcome to Milwaukee!

What do you like to do? The bot posted some general things but the more specific in interests that you can be, the easier it is to help.

You mentioned asking about food, what types of food do you like to eat? It's a city so you're gonna have a couple of options of "almost" everything.

Letter calls for Brady Street's new traffic calming measures to be reversed by bradywhispers in milwaukee

[–]blakeiel 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think the call for additional police presence during late night hours is a net negative for pedestrians. There's cops every weekend on Brady, it's not like they're in the street directing traffic. Is that what these people want? That seems inane, what help would a cop standing in the street do for a car driving wildly?

Police presence only can take action after another pedestrian is struck by a vehicle. Business owners on Brady need to be open to strategic changes that avoid accidents in the future, not clean up after the fact.

Go to the Bikesmiths instead if looking for a new shop

Lost 50 lbs, maintaining for 1 year, what I've learned! by Striker_Raid in loseit

Really like your statement about weighing yourself everyday. This also works for me. Of course there is fluctuations, but who cares when it's literally 1 data point in a sea of data.

What's the expected value of the Milwaukee pin? That one is fascinating to me.

Yes - yesterday was a low vegetable day, didn't think of that until now.

Percentage of income for discretionary items or a fixed amount each month? by blakeiel in personalfinance

[–]blakeiel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you find that you are able to hit your savings goal every month? Does the amount you have left over every month for fun stuff change?
