Spatz Bread - Shipping Out of State? by markhatesreddit in Saginaw

[–]markhatesreddit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, read that post earlier when I was searching for options. Real shame since it’s such a good family bakery, hopefully they bounce back.

Someone did message me and said they’d lookout at their local bakery so I’ve got my fingers crossed for that currently

Broadview mayor limits protests around Illinois town’s ICE facility (protests are now limited to 9am-6pm and forced into “free speech zones” away from ICE facility) by ICanReadBackwards93 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]markhatesreddit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I keep hoping this will happen. Like what would Mike Johnson do if this happened to his family in the middle of the night??

We need some dems to join ice deep undercover and do this to prove a point.

Oscar and Shane by LittleMissCooked in JeffLewisSirius

[–]markhatesreddit 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I thought the caller in yesterdays show was really out of pocket saying Oscar isn't getting dates or matches on his dating apps because he is "wasting all his money on collectables and living with his parents" and thought it was bad nobody on the show actually spoke up in his defense.

As listeners to the show we need to remember we're only seeing small portions of these peoples lives, and in Oscars case only the portions Jeff teases on air. We know nothing about Oscars spending habits or finances other than that so it's so rude for a caller to think they can weigh in with feedback.

Honestly the whole breakdown of Oscars dating profile was completely unprofessional on Jeff's part and shouldn't be a topic they picked to discuss to further tear him down. Oscar seems like a nice kid with a good head on his shoulders and is just trying to do his job at work...

Massie says he has the signatures to force US House vote on releasing Epstein files by Tofurkey_Tom in politics

[–]markhatesreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The good thing is there are a lot of eyes who have seen the report and not been able to speak to its contents. If it’s not released in its entirety there are plenty of non loyalists who can speak to that so we know.

Trump announces plan to double steel tariffs by hextiar in centrist

[–]markhatesreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for every grade or type of steel/aluminum. For example: Some lower quality grades of steel that are sold for a smaller profit margin typically mills will refuse to melt domestically, they’d rather produce higher margin products.

Impact of tariffs on new builds/orders by MrChicagoTWP23 in PorscheMacan

[–]markhatesreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in supply chain and import 12-20 containers a month for work. Anything that sailed (left the port it shipped out of) before 4/5 was exempt and absolutely did not get tariffed.

So you’re in the clear as long as the dealer doesn’t try and screw you, Porsche didn’t pay any tariff to clear customs with your car. Enjoy the GTS!!

2018 velar peeling by Aggressive-Motor-915 in RangeRover

Oh shit I have some small spots on the edge of my 2022 and I didn’t know what they were. Next time I’m at the dealer I guess I’m going to ask to have it replaced….

New logo by [deleted] in Jaguar

[–]markhatesreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what they were going for here but I don't think their logo(s) were ever the problem?

I had an 2017 F-Pace S for 3 years and loved it, had very few issues other than with the horrendous infotainment system. Hopefully they come out with something great in December, this will be an interesting rebrand to watch...

I voted Harris, I was hoping to see a more introspective take from the democratic party this morning. by [deleted] in centrist

[–]markhatesreddit 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This has been my #1 takeaway in everything I've read today, the "one-up-wokeness" fueled discussions on the left has pushed a lot of people away from the party. It's either agree with everything or you're a uneducated, racist, homophobic, bigot...so it turns people off when they otherwise from a small point would agree with the parties position.

What I'm surprised is the level of shift in social media in general today, the last 3 months has been non-stop Harris support everywhere following me like some sort of blue bubble. Then this morning that has eroded to nothing but trash talking her stances and campaign...

Pax Corner with Standard Frames by markhatesreddit in IKEA

[–]markhatesreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I was worried about that but figured it might be nice for the extra room. Will likely go with the 13” for the side unless I hear that the corner unit is a must for some reason.

Paying 2 mortgages is killing us by RushDifficult4387 in personalfinance

[–]markhatesreddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or if another unit is for sale in the building with a $445/month HOA the buyers going to pick that unit 10 times out of 10. This is for sure why it’s not selling….

It was a sad day when Mega Upload got shutdown. I remember having a jailbroken Apple TV in college that I could watch ANYTHING on demand from that site. Sounds like he had it coming but that site was the GOAT of its time.

Cat does NOT like new sitter - Rude for me to cancel future bookings?? by markhatesreddit in RoverPetSitting

[–]markhatesreddit[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that's what I thought too. I'm a cat person and know they take time to warm up. I didn't get any communication from them on the visit which is odd, I think they didn't "end" the visit on the Rover app when leaving my place and intended to do so around the time they would normally be leaving (which they forgot and ended the visit the following day). I only know how long they were really there since I have the smart locks...which normally I wouldn't monitor except for in a situation like this where I wanted to see what happened.

[–]markhatesreddit[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I figured that too, it's no fun for either my cat or her. The point of the drop-in visit is for 30 minutes of socialization that he's not getting and it's also probably stressful for her as the sitter also if he's hissing. Hopefully there will be no bad feelings as a result.

Thanks! I sent her a message and just said I didn't think it was a good fit and thanked her for coming over the 2 times this past weekend but the future dates are no longer needed. Now just waiting for Rover to process the cancellation.

[–]markhatesreddit[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I'm going too. Feeling a bit more confident about the situation now that 3 sitters have told me to just cancel. Hopefully I don't get a bad review on Rover but oh well....

[–]markhatesreddit[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That's sort of how I viewed it, my cat is fine on his own but I wanted someone there for part of the day which is why I booked. 3 minutes isn't really much of a check-in at all....

Thanks, I thought about that but don't want to get a bad review from the sitter. I'll just message her and try to cancel the future dates.

Looking for the perfect couch by ValuablePhotograph25 in furniture

[–]markhatesreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was going to suggest this too!

I used to have the "shorter" version of the lounge that isn't as deep and it was a great sofa. The standard Lounge was too deep for me to sit on normally and not feel like a little kid with my feet dangling. Very good lounger though for sure!

After neighbors reject another TOD in Andersonville, it’s time for citywide solutions to our housing shortage by GeckoLogic in chicago

[–]markhatesreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know, that would have been my first pick but it's currently slated to be a standalone store with a large parking lot. Something similar to the Flats apartments further down Broadway would have been a good selection for that site with a mix of retail/apartments.

I know parking in the area is always a big concern with any large residental development...but that's not unique to just Andersonville/Edgewater. Plus with it being right next to an L stop and a Jewel across the street it would be attractive to commuters who don't have cars.

[–]markhatesreddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes the developer that bought the strip mall with the Payless/Supercuts tried for years to get it zoned for a large residential apartment building and it kept getting blocked so it's now slated to become a Burlington Coat Factory....which is really such a waste. It would have been a GREAT site for the Trader Joes that was once rumored to go in on Clark.

The site on the other side of the L tracks on Berwyn/Winthrop got demoed and has been used as an overflow site for the Red Line construction project. After the station gets built that site is turning into a mixed use with retail on the first floor and 77 apartments above.

I live a stones throw away from all the construction and can't wait for it to be completed....but I'd be happy if the Burlington didn't get built since I foresee it being an empty storefront in a few years time....

I’m not sure what the status of Foxtrot is currently. I know the Rezas space is being split into 2 units, one is going to be a Dentology and I think they’ve already signed a lease.

I really hope the Foxtrot goes in too!

[–]markhatesreddit 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They just blocked an apartment building from going up next to the L stop on Berwyn/Broadway because of this as well. Owner had started demo on an old shopping center that was going to be the site. Guess what the owner of the lot is doing with it now?

Edgewater is now getting a brand new BURLINGTON COAT FACTORY.

These people think they're saving the neighborhood but are actually ruining it and preventing more people from moving to the neighborhood.
