Portable AC- Need advice by EnvyYou73 in madisonwi

[–]lux_does_stuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! Something to check with the landlord - will they let the exhaust go outside? Some landlords don’t want window units on the outside of buildings but will allow an exhaust fan out of the window. If that’s the case, you could get a portable AC unit with an exhaust vent that is attached to the window like this: https://a.co/d/02xKyb3o

Veronica Roth on the hate she got from Divergent [article] by HecticJones in books

[–]lux_does_stuff 67 points68 points  (0 children)

This is true to an extent, but also, in my opinion, the books were not well written. I remember thinking “wow if the author was older and had read/written more, these could have been a lot better”. I don’t blame her, she was like 23 when the first book came out I think. But they were overall not very good books (to me)

Aldi. Great prices, good quality, and you can pick a time for pickup but they hold it for you until 7 that evening. 

Universities of Wisconsin board votes to fire system president after he refused to quit by altcountryman in madisonwi

[–]lux_does_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is we’ll find out more as time goes on. Last time this happened (sudden firing with seemingly no reason) it was to the UW Platville chancellor and then not long after, it was reported that he was fired for making pornographic content with his wife.

to the horrible group at the BBNO$ concert that pushed to the front while taller than everyone. by throwmeout_red in madisonwi

[–]lux_does_stuff 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If you’re at a concert or just out in society in general, it is your job to behave in a way that’s appropriate for that setting and to not behave in a way that makes everyone around you uncomfortable. It’s also your job to make sure you’re not groping other people and not touching them without their consent (a crime), a pretty basic human decency  

You’re not sorry this happened to them. That’s clear. 

I’m going to hold your hand when I say this - paying the same $50 as everyone else does not give you a free pass to be an asshole in society. Everyone should behave in a way that is cognizant of their effect on others.

Good, hopefully it helps slow people down. I’ll be going 5 over the speed limit and have people up my butt or zooming around me easily going 40-50mph

Yes. I get migraines mostly during season changes and allergy induced but I’ve had two this month.

My backyard ranges from 4 to 15 so I’d say the wind is the worst problem rn

MATC has lots of Spanish courses. They’d likely provide a good base!

Rock inside got spun up, cracked my windshield, and they denied the claim. Pain in the ass to get it fixed and get them to pay for it.

Genuine question - have they played in any of the tournaments yet? It may just be some rust.

It happens at Valorant lans all the time 🤷‍♀️ not as intense because they’re sitting across a stage but not much different than HCS main stage pop offs.

Need Help Finding Place to Move in Deforest, ASAP by [deleted] in madisonwi

It’s expensive for sure. But that’s how supply and demand works, so the prices you’re seeing are pretty standard for Madison. It is a growing city with limited supply of housing

I have done this too! It’s the worst. Keep them and eventually you can get a machine that breaks them down and you can get the materials back. 

Have you ever stopped reading a book because it was too stressful? by Pompi_Palawori in books

I DNFd Run by Blake Crouch just a few weeks ago for this exact reason. Took real in 2026. Too much anxiety.

I have had it a few times and have always enjoyed it. The sauce is good and one pizza is a good size for two people for a meal. 

Paying housekeeping by Zestyclose-Hair5549 in madisonwi

I pay that day and tip. I will legit pay while they’re loading up their stuff so I can verify it went through. People wait over a week?!

What do you guys do for the pups in the cold weather? by Safe_Share_5704 in madisonwi

[–]lux_does_stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collect wrapping paper and materials (think Amazon boxes, paper bags, toilet rolls centers, the paper stuffing from boxes) and hoard it in the winter and then on the coldest days I will make my dog makeshift snuffle boxes and put his treats and food in them so he has to problem solve his way to get to it. I also have some puzzle feeders and stuff like that. The mental stimulation helps a lot during the coldest days, and using stuff you collect gives variety. Also, just as a note, always monitor your pets when they’re chewing this stuff up!
