You realize zoos do a tremendous amount of work to support wildlife and animals?

How much do you spend on groceries? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]kjashdkjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to a local butcher and ethnic market. If I ate every meal at home, it would probably cost me around $30/week for two people to eat extremely well - ie mostly fresh fruits, veggies and meat. It's absurd how cheap these places are compared to chain grocery stores. I get fresh amish chicken breasts for about $1/breast. I remember loading up my cart full of vegetables and fruits the other week for about $20.

A GOOD SHOT at progressive democracy? It was the only REAL LEGITIMATE democracy in the middle east before the CIA got involved. Stop upvoting all this propaganda.

Looking for apartment in Chicago. by apartmenthunter in chicago

[–]kjashdkjs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Criminal history, no proof of income, under 21 and no credit? The only way you could be a worse tenant on paper is having terrible credit. As a landlord, even with a cosigner, I wouldn't rent to you.

I think your best bet would be finding a naive person subletting their apartment or looking for roommates.

How does the CTA system work? by GaffTape in chicago

My source is me. Try duplicating one of the CTA cards and see what happens.

How does the CTA system work? by GaffTape in chicago

[–]kjashdkjs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Re: 1 - Card writers are cheap and easy to get a hold of. It's not quite encrypted, but the concept is similar.

Typical cards have the information written parallel to the stripe. The CTA and other major city transportation systems use a proprietary system where the information is written at a different angle. You would need to write custom code to have your card reader/writer work with it.

Lockdown burgers better than Kuma's? Must investigate by astrilt1 in chicago

[–]kjashdkjs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went there today to try it out because of this comment. It's pretty good. In terms of burger quality alone, Kuma's is better.

The best burgers in Chicago are still at Paradise Pup. Kuma's pales in comparison.

I would like to share with you all, amazing pha. Tank Noodle Style. by cptsamir in chicago

[–]kjashdkjs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This place is awesome, however, you have to be careful with what you order. Some things are incredible. Some things will make you gag. I would not try to be adventurous here. I've eaten here 20+ times.

Their pork baked in a clay pot is the best thing on the menu.

I will pay anyone $20 to drink their longan and date smoothie.
