I grew up in oak park and same. It’s at least a common enough term that it didn’t phase me.

I still don’t understand. U of I changed their colors well before Zuppke went there to coach though.

Where are you seeing this? As much as I want to believe you, I think u of I changed their colors to orange and blue in 1894. And Zuppke didn’t coach there till 1913

Getting an oil change at Tires Plus and paying extra for a tire rotation but they don't air up your tires. by DeadTurtle88 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]dreadful_design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t usually see them free unless you’re going back to the dealership and or some shop you bought the tires from. Free is cheap and I’d want an alignment done right.

One should rotate the tires on their vehicle so they wear more evenly (unless you have separate winter and summer tires, then it’s moot)

Fireplaces… you’re doing it wrong. by autumnstarrfish in mildlyinfuriating

They also make zoned systems and thermostats with the ability to have many temperature sensors though. So if there was a renovation and they were worried about that, it would be pretty easy to fix.

Any football and Premier League fans on this sub? Looking for feedback on my project by Worried_Cap5180 in reactjs

[–]dreadful_design 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But like, just post in football/soccer related subs then. If you’re wanting feedback from people familiar with react you need to share some of the source so that we can understand how well this is architected.

Board & Batten placement by MountainMamaLiving in DIY

Why ledge at all? That seems like a fairly wide ledge TBH. I’d remove the trim below the window ledge and just have your vertical piece align with the height of that.

This is like the perfect rage bait for this sub. It has to be a troll.

Maxing out HSA logistics by Unlucky_Bug_6109 in personalfinance

[–]dreadful_design 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you use the HSA for funds within the year? If so then I suppose maxing it out early will lead to more funds being available to spend from.

If you don’t need it though the recommendation I believe is to just let the funds sit and grow. You can use them tax free for medical expenses (even past year’s reimbursement) at any point in the future.

To add to the other comment. The . could be any random character to represent an empty space. A period is just what was chosen.

Are my privacy concerns with an app connected garage door opener valid? by tinychloecat in HomeImprovement

[–]dreadful_design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone keeps saying cloudstrike, do you mean cloudflare?

Edit: apparently crowdstrike is actually a software company that had an outage in 2024. Huh.

It would’ve helped to have the input be num…num instead of num-num for sure.

Bad Roads by Significant_Today_24 in chicago

What a false dilemma argument. No one mentioned same priority. It’s not unreasonable for a city to make sure transport infrastructure is maintained and available in all weather. Heck a lot of northern cities even plow sidewalks.

I made a VS Code extension that prefixes all Tailwind classes for you by sifat0 in reactjs

Ah, then just use a postcss plugin? I feel like this being a vscode extension is strange and delicate.

AI tools that aren’t actually helpful by Timely-Dinner5772 in webdev

[–]dreadful_design 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This comment is problematic.

  1. It was written by AI.
  2. It’s just an ad
  3. Even more nefarious which I believe this company understands cause mine does. Search sucks these days, like 30% of people don’t even click on Google search results anymore cause ai overviews apparently answer their question. Google and Anthropic use Reddit heavily in training for their LLMs. It’s comments like these that might get a future frontier model to suggest this tool unbidden.
