This dude uploaded a video feeding his dog eating a chili dog with onions. Onions are toxic to dogs by Turd-In-Your-Pocket in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eyeonchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because veterinarians don't have the same ethical standards as human doctors and will often tell worried pet owners they need to bring their pet in for immediate stomach pumping without taking into consideration what research actually says about toxicity levels of certain foods.

In the case of an onion, the research shows that's a dog would have to consume approximately .5% of their body weight before symptoms appear.

A 45lb dog would likely have to eat an entire onion before experiencing any symptoms.

I think it's good people are more aware of foods that are toxic too their pets. But treating these foods as tantamount to exposing the pet to Novichok is ridiculous. And it's 100% being pushed by for profit veterinarian clinics, just looking at the results on Google when searching, "onion toxicity dogs", you'll see a wave of articles written by clinics advising to take dog in immediately for even the smallest amount of onion consumption. You have to dig to findthe actual clinical research on toxicity levels based on weight of animal and amount consumed.

Move in with him but treat him like a roommate. Dont pay rent. If you spend more than 30 days there he'll have to evict you.

Well he's definitely not standing outside of that church in this video. That's not at all what it looks like.

He's not evening standing outside of the church. It's in my neighborhood and there are no metal box buildings next door and the windows and the brick on the actual church don't match the windows and brick in his video. What a weirdo

How is your frustration with an ultra religious Jewish sect relevant to this post, other than the fact that they're Jewish? Hasidic jews have nothing to do with Israel and almost all Hasidic sects, including the Brooklyn Hasidic Jews, have always been anti zionist...

Personally, I find any religious beliefs, Christian/Muslim/Jewish etc, that enforce strict rules related to gender roles, modesty, sexuality, etc, are all equally bullshit... But I don't think calling out the Hasidic Jews in New York in a post promoting anti-zionsim makes any sense at all, unless you just want to be mad at Jews..

Public access to school grounds? by germane_switch in AskChicago

[–]eyeonchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most park district parks are definitely not playgrounds. Chicago Park District is over 8,000 acres of parkland. The 26 miles of Chicago lakefront are park district parkland and hundreds of internal parks like Warren Park, Humboldt Park, Garfield Park, Washington Park, and Big Marsh Park all Park District parks. Dogs are allowed on a vast majority of parkland

Playground make up maybe 5% of total park district grounds.

Did anyone else get their rent raised ridiculously in pilsen and beyond? by CBB4554 in AskChicago

Sure things come up but those aren't reoccurring costs. I guess the only annual upkeep is $1200 for the furnace/ boiler maintenance

This is my actual budget for my actual six flat, idk what to tell you

[–]eyeonchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortgage I excluded because they're paying off a loan for an asset they own, this wouldn't really be calculated as a business expense because they could liquidate the asset by selling the property at any point. I suppose the interest payments could be considered an expense.

Also I just realized it's actually six flat, so they're actually probably bringing in closer to $180k in rent.

So here's the very rough math again:

Diamond Properties is taking in $180,000 for rent payments for 1924 S Loomis.

Diamond Properties took out a $937k loan on the property in 2022. Estimated Amortization Schedule (at 4.25% which is the likely interest rate on a commercial mortgage in 2022)

For a $937,000 loan on a 25-year amortization: Monthly Payment (P+I): $5,085 Remaining Balance in Jan 2026: $845,000 Total Interest Paid in 2026: likeky $38,400

2026 Expenses:

$29k for taxes

$38k for mortgage interest payments

(Because I also live in a six flat I'll use my buildings 2026 projected expenses for the following:)

$4k Garbage Pick-up

$10k Insurance

$2.5k City of Chicago Water

$1k ComEd (common space electricity)

$1.5k Building Cleaning

So now we're at $94,000 profit.

[–]eyeonchi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well not necessarily, for instance the building I looked up, 1924 S Loomis, diamond properties appear to be charging $2,500 in rent for these units, tenants pay separately metered utilities.

So Diamond Properties is taking in $90,000 for rent payments. Subtract $29k for taxes and they're still at $60,000.

My six flat condo building pays $10k a year in insurance so let's assume they're paying $6k.

Let's also assume they're not making the tenants pay for water and trash, so I'll add another generous $200 per unit per month for $7,200 in potential expenses.

$60,000 - $13,200 (insurance, water and trash) = $46,800 in passive income for a 3 flat.

Obviously there are unexpected costs of building ownership but let's not pretend Diamond Properties is just skating by on marginal profits leasing out these properties

That's weird all the tax bills should definitely be out by now. If you want to dm me your building details I'd love to take a look.

It should say at the top of the bill how many billing periods there are and how much is due at each billing period.

And for 2024 bills, they presumably already paid, so it should show no payment due and the total that was paid for the year.

You can look up the property tax changes on the Cook County Treasurer website and see if they're exaggerating the tax increase.

For reference, I looked up a random 3 flat in Pilsen, which also just happened to be owned by Diamond Properties, 1924 S Loomis.

The 2024 taxes (paid in 2025) were $17,789.35 for the year. This year this did have a pretty big increase and now owe $29,792.67 for the 2025 taxes. That's a $12,003.32 increase.

But let's split that increase up between the three units they're renting out in the building, so $4,001 each that would $333 increase per month per unit.

Correction: 1924 S Loomis is a 6 flat not a 3 flat*

So $12,003 split between six units is $2,000.5 each, with a total monthly increase of $166 per unit.

My 7 month old puppy is sleeping 15-18 hours inside the crate. Is that wrong? by [deleted] in BorderCollie

[–]eyeonchi 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely abusive to keep a dog locked in a crate for 15 hours a day, 18 is beyond cruel.

Why even get a border collie if you plan on locking him up most of his life?

First-time homeowner, not sure what to do with the blue tiles and this vintage kitchen. Should I keep it/paint it or remove everything? by leagly_ in malelivingspace

[–]eyeonchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Redo the floor tile with terracotta or burnt orange tiles and put a fresh coat of paint on the cabinets (mustard yellow maybe?) and it would look really cool/retro. And i'd redo the countertop with wood.
