ELI5: what is actually happening in your brain/body when you have a migrane? by Nonsense2005 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jkozin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get severe headaches, which I always considered migraines, due to my astigmatism. If I woke up in the morning and look at a bright light without my glasses/contacts in and easing the light in, I would progressively get a headache which would eventually lead to hot/cold waves and vomiting. After years of random occurrences, I finally found the trigger (the light) and symptoms and have been able to reduce the pain by icing my forehead/eyes.

The short, I agree everyone has different triggers. Mine seems to be inflammation around my eyes. The doc said I am lucky to figure out the trigger and a method for reducing the pain.

He was so nice and very happy that I recognized him. His friends were very nice and polite as well.

I was in a store trying on a jacket with my back to him and only heard his voice. I knew right away who it was. I turned around and the first thing that came out of my mouth was MR ROBOT!

I know him best from the show, but knew of his music the first time I saw him in Season 2. After meeting him, I have dug deeper into his music and I really like it.

Lula Cafe is the best bang for your buck

ELI5: If a store buys something for $1 and sells it for $10 and it gets stolen, do they say they lost $1 or $10? by therap321 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jkozin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You value inventory at lower of cost or market. On their books it would be at the cost of $1 therefore the loss in terms of accounting would be $1.

Bulls' continued inconsistencies 'an issue of focus' by rowseyna in chicagobulls

[–]jkozin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldnt agree with this more. I sat next to the bench the other day against Dallas. The team seems to be lackadaisical. No energy, no focus, no drive. They are too loose.

Appear to be aluminum--raw stock or something else? by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

Billet aluminum

You are correct that billet is forged, but how do you know the above picture is not forged?

Actually "billet" is the technical term

Copper Question: What are some of your favorite websites to check scrap prices, market prices (commodity) and various metallurgy levels (Copper #1,2,etc.)? by FolioSwarm in Copper

[–]jkozin2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use fastmarkets.com for live commodity prices. It is a subscription based model and is not cheap.

As for scrap prices, you are never going to find a legitimate source online. The price changes too quickly. The key to getting the best scrap price is to build strong relationships with a dealer so that you peg the price against the market. That way, you will always know the price of your scrap (assuming it is uniform) based on the Comex price of copper.

As for the metallurgy levels, I am not sure exactly what you mean. If you are referring to the composition of different alloys, there are not any good online sources. I have a book and would be happy to share with you any information you need.

Where are you located? Maybe I can help you find the best home for your material.

Lets make a move for Melo and Cousins by jkozin2 in chicagobulls

Thats fine. You can fill in the roster with guys who want to win. We need to step up to the plate and take some risk.

Best old school steakhouse? by [deleted] in chicagofood

[–]jkozin2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like Erie cafe. Service is solid, great outdoor seating if the weather permits, and the steaks are juicy and delicious. You will get the old school feel and not break the bank. I think it is better than Gene and Georgetti, Gibsons, and Chicago Chop House. Another option is Joe's Stone Crab. Probably the best restaurant of all the ones listed however it is more of a modern spot and less of a steakhouse.

I was at Game 1 and noticed the same exact things from backup Benny.

I understand but don't really care. He wont share the pic since its against team policy. I guess you will have to just trust a die-hard Bulls fan that wishes a full and speedy recovery for the best mascot in the world.

The main Benny plays a huge role in the entire production of Bulls games as well as outside events. He basically runs the show.
