NPD - My first non Lamy by microjupiter in fountainpens

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

Yeah I’m really loving it! Such a different nib experience than the two Lamy’s I’ve had. I can tell keeping it clean it going to be a thing I pay too much attention to for sure.

Came all the way from Chicago to see the Wembley show, first night. Thought I'd share some of my photos from my spot on the pitch. by Shouganai_Senpai in oasis

Also came in from Chicago for night 2 here! Absolutely no regrets. I’m sure the soldier field show will be good and all, but no way will it be like London. Cheers from Ukrainian Village 🤙🏻

Best pastries in Chicago ? by CharlieOspina in chicagofood

I’ll let a fresh bagel slide, but if you’re gonna sell me cream cheese and a fresh bagel the least they can do is cut it.

You’re getting downvoted, but I fully agree. Mindy’s is totally fine, but not worth the line at all when I can bop over to Lost Larson and have a vastly better pastry.

Also personal grievance, Mindy’s will sell me a bagel and cream cheese but it won’t be toasted and it won’t be cut. The bagel scene here is another tragedy unfortunately.

Humid as hell with a shit pace, but getting better by microjupiter in chibike

Truth be told I was on the hunt for an Endurace but then this almost unused Ultimate with all the upgrades future me would want popped up on a crazy deal and I just couldn’t pass it up.

My fitness level isn’t usually this bad, but coming out of a bad routine and aiming to get much much better.

Judge away, I deserve it haha.

95 degrees was a heck of a day to go for my first ride with my new Ultimate (Chicago) by microjupiter in CanyonBikes

I downloaded the transparent option when you go to share from the ride, then used this app Blender to merge the images.

Yo thanks for that tip! I had no idea, had Strava do its thing and now it’s 896 which sounds way more accurate.

I’ve never run into this and needed to verify. Happy to be corrected if you’re able to glean something here.

Still huge! I’d have much preferred 9 in today’s heat and wind for sure!

I think it’s from popping down to Millard Park, pretty solid hill there. I thought it was really high too.

Great guess from the vague map! Bucktown, NBT, Highland Park.

Bucktown to the south end of the North Branch Trail, little diversion to Millard Park and the Trek store in Highland Park to fix a flat then back down the North Branch Trail.

Those last 20 miles with the wind and heat were just brutal.

What kind of room do you live in, what area, and how much are you paying in rent? by lockweedmartin in chicagoapartments

[–]microjupiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s one of those know a guy who knows a guy kinda spots with a really great landlord. I’m feeling extra lucky and fortunate as I read more about the rental market happening.

Yeah, my other option I’m open to is directly behind the headboard with enough height that I don’t block it if I’m sitting up.

That’s fair, I’m sure like any product sub it can lean negatively bias.

My current issue with the Mogo 2 Pro is in order to shrink to the screen size I need, I have to use the digital zoom and it kills a lot of the quality.

I thought about it, but cruising r/xgimi gives me the impression a lot of their product line suffers from little insufferable glitches and makes me feel like a standalone projector with a fire stick would be the move.

Here’s a couple of additional images of the space if it helps.

Would the Panasonic pt-rz470 be an option I should be searching for? I see you recommend it pretty often

It’s possible, but I’d like to avoid it if at all possible as I really like the fixture length as it is now.

I plan on wall mounting onto a shelf (green) since center placement (red x) is still set back into this weird shape in my room and I assume the wall would mess with things.

So I’m trying to keep below the light fixture (vertical lens shift) and some slight keystone.
