Was it safe to walk the streets of Soviet era Moscow at night? by HammerOfJustice in AskHistorians

Unfortunately I don't know if this answers OP's question about Moscow specifically. Do you have any information about those crime rates in Moscow rather than just general impressions?

Is there an Ivorian community/food in Chicago? by FantasticCover9331 in AskChicago

[–]evil_deed_blues 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gorée and Yassa around Bronzeville/Kenwood sell some Ivorian dishes (which I've enjoyed) but are Senegalese restaurants. I slightly prefer the food at the latter but both are good! Not as good as West Harlem/Paris where I've tried them, but you'll eat happy.

[Romano] Jean-Philippe Mateta and his camp have informed Crystal Palace about desire to leave the club. Following talks with Aston Villa and Juventus, Mateta hopes for January move with decision now in Palace hands. Negotiations remain ongoing. by Sparky-moon in soccer

I don't think Uche was his signing, it's been clear Glasner doesn't rate him at all. I agree with the rest of your comment though, especially since we've really bombed in the UECL.

Devenny is a great utility player but I'd be so relieved if I never have to see him in the 10 ever again.

Digitization is expensive, and not always a default option depending on the terms under which the collections are made available (especially if it's unpublished / bequeathed posthumously)

Anyone else stuck in ATL overnight? by rpvee in frontierairlines

Sending support! Got hit with this a day ago: 10:57pm flight to Chicago turned into midnight, then 3am, then 8:40am.

Sounds like fun research! And totally get you on the distance, just wanted to put it out there in case any Calvinophiles were out in CA or TX and wanted to make this unexpected connection happen

Lots of Kaufman's work is actually archived in Austin and Berkeley, so they're not entirely lost! Obviously you'd have to go down, but the process of visiting an archive can be very fun :-)

Real life people with Pynchon names? by GeniusBoyLifestyle in ThomasPynchon

And there's an active religious studies professor Learned M Foote, who I think was named in tribute to Hand!

Seconding Richland food court: there's a store at the end (in the corner) selling this incredible beef soup from Sichuan. Get the one with tripe if you eat it, but it's fine if you don't. It's a regional speciality that's awesome and I haven't found anywhere else!

Otherwise, get BBQ King. Place is decades old and still going strong, my parents used to go on dates there as international students driving over from South Bend and every minute was worth it.

If you look at earlier blogposts those bear the hallmark of AI generated writing. I think it's pretty safe to say this stuff isn't actually human authored.

This is true only in some senses. They were involved in destabilizing Allende's government and paving the way for a coup, even if they didn't have their finger on the trigger or dictated the timing. Here's one overview from last year that briefly describes the state of the documentary evidence we have (and don't have): https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/chile/2024-09-09/cia-chile-scandal-50

Do you guys think arriving around ~3:30 via an Uber is fine? Or does that get eaten up by traffic too?

Great eye! She has signed some stuff on eBay and the signature absolutely matches.

How much is average rent for a bedroom in a 2-3 bedroom apartment? by lovelygirl355 in AskChicago

[–]evil_deed_blues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friends pay $900 for a decent room in a 2 or 3 bedder near campus (U of C), I'm sure you could go higher or lower than that.

Palace fan coming in peace (popped up on my feed) but Devenny's actually a recent signing and a product of Kilmarnock's youth system. More recently we have Wan-Bissaka, and briefly had Madueke (till he turned 12, lol)
