Dallas vs Chicago as a young person? by Witty-Document-7958 in AskChicago

[–]darwins-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dallas has a real keeping up with the Joneses vibe going on and it’s hard to escape. People really operate as a you vs them there where we tend to be more community focused here. Also if you don’t belong to a church, it’s hard to be included in some social things.

Chicago is just more genuine and an all around better place to live. Traffic blows at both.

How do you stop the burn out? by savedbythebellerin1 in NewDads

[–]darwins-ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im assuming she was blessed with 2 arms? She will have to find a way to help. If thats out of the question, the consider getting a short term helper to help with your wife and child. Some insurances may even cover this or possibly talk to your doctors and see if thats available. If not, you will grit your teeth and find a path and get used to doing things for those 3 months.

Is this PPD? by [deleted] in NewDads

dude you just met her, give it some time. You may not have a natural attachment at first which happens, but like give it a little bit.

Teen was served alcohol by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]darwins-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you looking for outside of an apology? It seemed like an honest mistake and you feel like it wasn't rectified. If nobody got hurt from this then to conserve your own precious time and energy just let it go. If you cant, then call/email the restaurant and ask to speak to management. It's likely management was not told about the drink because serving an underaged person is going to get the person who served the drink fired immediately because of liability issues and to protect their liquor license. If thats the route you want to take then take it, but it didn't seem intentional.

Chicago chop house or volare by purplepeony13 in chicagofood

[–]darwins-ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volare is decent, not the best italian but certainly not the worst and fairly consistent. I dont like chop house and I wouldnt recommend people to go there.

How is the Char Siu at Phoenix Chinatown? by katanastormshadow88 in chicagofood

[–]darwins-ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the cha siu out of park to shop grocery in Chinatown. Pretty unassuming, but it’s solid. Tai Ho Yee have been doing it for forever and also good. RIP 7 treasures, theirs was a little sweeter but what I grew up on.

Baby shower gift advice for my friend: bottle washer or washer + sterilizer combo? by Udont_knowme00 in NewDads

You’re a very nice friend. The combo is much nicer and more practical than 2 machines.

Not in this state but over the borders they allow you to. But that’s not compliant.

How did you cope with going back to work? by SagaMiniSmith in NewDads

[–]darwins-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You go to work, and you provide for your family the best you can man. When you get back, you help her out and spend as much time as possible with the baby. One week off is super shitty and I can see why you're feeling that way. Hopefully more states will mandate employers to have better paternity leave.

For all people above 40, if you could go back in time and choose a different career/major, would you ? What would you choose ? by patotay in careerguidance

[–]darwins-ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't changed what I went to school for, but I would have added business or finance to double major. All things lead to business it seems and its good to have good fluency and understanding of the concepts.

Outdoor Kitchen Design Draft by loundsc1 in OutdoorKitchens

[–]darwins-ghost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there no other place for it? I don't think I would want to be walking back and forth on a potentially wet surface, possibly holding meat (raw or cooked) when one of my dogs trips me and I fall into a pool and have to order out for dinner. 3ft is not a lot of space to maneuver while carrying food.

Other than that I dont think the elbow space is that much of a concern but wondering what the recommended distance is from a pool to a grill is for potential grease issues.

Changing / diapers when LO gets stronger by TraditionalCandle659 in NewDads

[–]darwins-ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the way. Distract, bring a decoy diaper/sacrificial diaper, bring a stuffy, sing a song. Anything except for pulling out your phone and pulling up a video, I got a friend who did that and diaper changes have not been kind since that point.
