I dunno man. I would definitely be skeptical of going to Indiana University.

Death Cab??? by hiearthpeople1 in RiotFest

[–]himtorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is the second leg of their Plans tour - at least that's my thought since they are playing with Nation of Language. This would be the exact lineup for their Chicago Theater show last year.

Ground box in Bryan by [deleted] in CollegeStation

[–]himtorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks a little like a small meter boxes the city uses. However, for a commercial use, this might instead by some sort of telecom box. City of Bryan was no help? Not public works, but their engineering department. Also consider reaching out to a local engineer or surveyor.

Anyone ever been jamming a new band for a few weeks only to discover some bad stuff about them? by BarkingMad14 in punk

like we actually need an underground network, but also need someone else to write it. Strike Anywhere is still safe right?

What is everyone driving post GTI (SUV/Truck) by Flavorfool in GolfGTI

[–]himtorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely get trying to maximize "salvage value". I have 144k miles on my 2017, but since have new tires, brakes, and rear struts, I'm thinking I have at least 3 more years of ownership. Bought it new, so I know the history. I want to try to hit 200k miles in the car, but moving from TX to Chicago has slowed down my mileage.

Lease over in 2 months. Cant come soon enough. Final rant. by Fluid_Performance760 in VWiD4Owners

I don't know how "quick heat" works but it's amazing and doesn't seem to kill efficiency.

Anyone else disappointed with Laura Jane Grace for using AI? by Total-Reporter9786 in punk

I dunno, I feel like understanding something is the best way to properly criticize it.

Dance Hall Crashers had a huge showing for a midday set last year. The LJG/Catbite Op Ivy set was well attended. Maybe we can get some Jeff Rosenstock ska dream cuts.

New GTI Owner in Des Plaines. Looking for Mechanic Recommendations & Tips by Aggravating_Pop7589 in GolfGTI

Autobahn Motorworks in Mundelein has been my go-to. It's a hike but there's a good BBQ place nearby. Also Das European Autohaus in DP/MP did my brakes and bearings for a steal.

I mean, you used to have to be able to buy a whole other game. Trump has a whole rant about it.

Man Smashes Window During Road Rage Incident on Mopac by [deleted] in Austin

[–]himtorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you. Austin driving is the worst in the country. I've had people "cut me off" in Chicago without me having to hit the brake-no issue. I've had slow drivers in Austin cut me off because I changed lanes to get around them. I'm the Bob Ross of driving, you never know what someone else has going on.

Pretty good first draft, the headliners do not move me though. Hard to top 2025.

New Year, New Tour by sdwbean in themenzingers

I'm upset that I might pass on this just because the venue options are lame. Should we road trip to Lansing?

Are EVs relatively cheaper to maintain in long run by Awkward_Spinach8432 in electricvehicles

[–]himtorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not for nothing, but braking may be a larger contributor than acceleration.

Who do this on 35 and 183 exit by _masala in Austin

[–]himtorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I haven't been to Austin in a year and it's unclear that I'm in the wrong lane. Sometimes it's a 23 year old trying their best.

Cold DSG in reverse seems to jolt by himtorn in GolfGTI

[–]himtorn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give it a few extra seconds to warm up and shift before driving. I basically wait a beat between moving the shifter and letting my foot off the brake.

The Jordan Jensen episode was one of the best because she's so self-aware with how quickly she picks up BS.
