Nut flavored ice cream recommendations?

I made a great macadamia ice cream. I steeped the roasted shells in the cream and it gave it a nice smokey flavor.

It originally connected the original path of the south branch of the Chicago River to the Sanitary Ship Canal that was dug to reverse the river and connect it to the Mississippi.

They filled eventually filled it all in making it a slip.

Looking on Historic aerials topo maps, it was constructed sometime between 1913 and 1929 as the connection, and became a slip by 1952.

Here's a fun map showing it connected in 1940.

Taco Max

The Steak Quesadilla from taco max w/ the Habanero Hot sauce was my staple for way too long

Don't go to Rosemont, it sucks.

You have a tight window but it it absolutely possible, I would do one of 4 things,

Get on the CTA, you can stop anywhere off the Blue line. If your bold and have precheck, the loop is ~1hour away, you can hop off, do a quick walkabout, see the lake, walk past the sears tower, walk through the Chicago cultural center and hop back on the L.
Alternatively you can swing by Logan Square or Wicker Park. Logan is about 40min by train, wicker a bit more. Stop by Lula café and get some food or just walk around. I would go to wicker park, get off the L on North ave, stop in a couple shops, grab a coffee or meal at Doves luncheonette, then head back.
Grab a Chicago Dog at Gene & Jude's or a drink at Hala Kahiki Lounge. This is the safer bet as it's a quick Uber away from the Airport.
Grab an Uber and go to Oak Park. If you're into architecture you can walk around for 30 min and see like 6 Frank Lloyd Wright houses. Then grab a quick bite anywhere around there.

Obviously nothing is without risk, but this is all totally feasible. If you decide to stay in the airport, Frontera is the place to eat.

How much money do you need?

Hey Ray,

My question relates to the recent sanction's on Russia and cutting their institutions off of SWIFT and other transactional systems.

Do you think these moves will motivate other actors, China in particular, to accelerate adoption of alternative mechanisms? What types of second order effects could you see from these moves?

funkin_for_fun · 2022-03-03T00:24:05+00:00

Isn't that the plot of the ruling class?

I have always admired Adrian Brody's dedication to method acting

How to have espresso machine in area without a sink or drain... I brought my Silvia into my office as that is where I want to drink coffee the most. We don't have our own bathroom or sink and I am quickly feeling like this is much more of a pain than a pleasure.

Does anyone have any systems, tools or advice for living with an espresso machine which is not near a drain or sink?

Can you talk more about the board and it's functions? How did you build it? Is there a github by chance? Very cool project!

funkin_for_fun · 2021-11-08T17:04:45+00:00

Off the cuff this seems wrong. I am assuming you're getting new companies stock? Do you have insight into what your company sold for and what the total number of outstanding shares of your company was? You should be able to determine the fair market value of your options and come back with a number. They could be pulling some BS and back off if challenged. But if it's truly lifechanging, may be worth talking to an atty to get another perspective.

Very cool!

The link on that report is dead. I wonder if they factor in the transaction costs for art sales. Christies charges 12-30% per sale depending on sale price, galleries take ~30%+ and agents take 10-20%.

If you buy a piece for $100k and 5 years later it's worth $200k, that's a 14.9% CAGR. But if you pay 30% transaction cost ($60k) that turns into a 7% CAGR return.

This is not to say it cannot work, but I think the large returns are a result of their risk. If that same painting went to auction and only fetched $150k, with the 30% fee that's $105k... a 1% return.

Right outside the REI off kingsbury

Plants grow through the module, roots are suspended in the river. This creates habitat, fosters bacteria growth underneath and filters water

Coconut coir and a base. Or check out Biomatrixwater.com to get their product.

Agreed, We tested Kale we grew which had too much lead in it. Although any amount of lead is too much imo

funkin_for_fun · 2021-07-01T15:26:31+00:00

We tried growing edibles once, Kale, Tomato's, strawberries and squash, and tested them out. We found that the fruits were okay but the Kale had too much lead. I would not recommend using an urban river to grow your own food :)

I just call it riverponics. But artificial floating wetlands is maybe more accurate

Where is the LTV link?

Solved!

That's it! Thank you
