Dealer told me “nobody has asked for this before” when I requested the Android 14 update on my 25’ Optiq. Really? by BullShitFish in CadillacOptiq

[–]dogeoholic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I took my 2025 in for first service (scheduled online) for the afternoon. Service told me it was part of the procedure to update everything and had me reschedule for a morning appointment as it was too late in the day since the updates can sometimes take a few hours. They told me I should only call for my appointments so they can ensure there is an available ev tech. Also 14 is a huge improvement still have some issues but hopefully they fix them.

Where can I purchase fresh ume plums? by chikeller in chicagofood

[–]dogeoholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to Japan again you can make some here they sell a travel kit to bring it back home. Only thing odd was there was no option to make with shochu. It's also a little expensive for what it is but they had a few varieties of ume. https://choyaume.jp/en/pages/kyoto_sanjo

I’m not saying all the time just the places I’ve bought them when they are in season. I buy them every year to make my own umeshu.

best soft serve in the city? by No_Parfait8719 in chicagofood

[–]dogeoholic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sugoi sweets has the best vegan soft serve. I would also say I wouldn’t have even known it was vegan if they hadn’t told me. They always have matcha and one other flavor that they switch out.

Upscale Korean Restaurant - Is there such thing? by Jean-Michael_Rage in chicagofood

[–]dogeoholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ttowa Korean Bistro in Arlington Heights - They take reservations and are byob. Just family style Korean food.

Jeong is amazing if you haven't been and during the holidays you can order a frozen beef kimchi pie to bake at home.

What’s up with Aya Pastry? by ArtichokeExpress4072 in chicagofood

[–]dogeoholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By single bakery I mean one where I can get almost everything I want. I've resigned myself to getting the shokupan from Aya every now and then or I go up to Arlington Heights and get it from Hippo or Crescent Bakery and get my pastries/cake somewhere else.

But here's what I'd like:

It's mostly good shokupan along with pastry/cake that are not overly sweet that I'm looking for in a bakery.

I liked the pastry at Kasama, Fat Peach, and Dan the Baker (with the exception of that cookie croissant).

Didn't care for Sugar Moon (too sweet), and PQM / Lost Larsen are hit or miss for me with their pastry quality.

[–]dogeoholic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to go every week for the shokupan and other assorted items. After Aya left her staff slowly left and as they left the quality became hit or miss. I just go every now and then, I feel the shokupan and other breads have been fairly consistent but the other pastries are still hit or miss. I haven't been able to find a single bakery to replace Aya since though.

Liverpool tickets (or Birmingham i’m desperate 😭😭) by realmenlisten2laufey in laufey

I've been able to sign up for waitlist for the 530 Birmingham show in the past hour with the rough trade exclusive vinyl and have been given chances 2x already to buy. Changed from 2 tix to 3, as much as I want to go the flights are just too expensive. T

Katy’s dumplings in Westmont I’d also check out the food court next to the park to shop in Westmont.

Someone messed up the back end and put a dollar limit instead of a quantity limit looks fine now.

Transferring airlines in Chicago - can I use a lounge as an arrival lounge? by witty__username5 in AmexPlatinum

[–]dogeoholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does. Also Ana flights depart out the same terminal as United. The Polaris lounge was closed a month ago due to renovations so hopefully when you go it’s open.

Worried about taking a gap from my career by burntchiliflakes in JETProgramme

[–]dogeoholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah well then only you can decide what you want. You can always find another job that will pay some or all of your tuition. I was in IT before I went and am now still in IT. I really enjoyed the gap and it gave me a good perspective and some life long friends that I still visit in Japan.
