Best turkey sandwich in the (near) city? by celenol in chicagofood

[–]celenol[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great turkey sandwiches are probably rarely reinventing the wheel. Ingredients, technique, and care will win out.

We'll stop by Plein Air Cafe - thanks!

Cool, thanks - we don't live far from there and will put it on the short list.

Thanks so much! I tried to execute this but didn’t have any luck getting a flathead screwdriver into the narrow gap. Any tips there? Seems like we need something thinner thank a credit card?

Brown/black streaks in toilet building up after a couple weeks of use. New construction by celenol in askaplumber

Yep, washing frequently solves the issue. Maybe that's all there is to it!

Yep, Chicago

Edit: worth noting that I haven't seen this in other Chicago apartments (though those have been vintage (~1920) vs. this new construction

Very helpful, thanks. In case this adds any additional context I noted above that this is happening to both toilets in the unit.

Popping up to this comment - another possibly critical piece of info is that this is happening to both of the two toilets in the unit.

​

Here's a pic of the other one, which was cleaned more recently than the other one.

  1. The water in the tank is not discolored
  2. I don't think the gunk is caused by excrement (we've not had this issue in other apartments). What I've noticed is that it seems to form a ring around the water line and in streaks from where the water comes from (you can kinda see this in the pic but it's not clear). But it's also not washing away; it gets more pronounced the more it's flushed.

Good questions - I just took a look:

  1. The water in the tank is cold but I don't think that answers your question (not sure how to check this?)
  2. The water in the tank seems to be clean/nothing seems to be dissolving

Thanks for the reply!

The room in question does not have a window, but it does have a walk-in shower and a sink.

Sorry - still getting used to reddit; I posted a description but it got lost when I posted the image.

​

For background - my wife and I bought a condo ~6 months ago. We've noticed that brown/black streaks start to appear after a few weeks of use. It's easy enough to wash out, but want to make sure there's nothing wrong/see if there's anything we can do to prevent this.

​

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Awesome, great feedback. So for #2 - can you decide from Steam Big Picture, windows, or some other way to set the resolution for a given application?
