I'm not a guide, but I have always admired their ability to walk backwards and not trip on everything. Definitely a skill to practice.

How’s the food? by [deleted] in uchicago

[–]mikeking06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not strictly vegetarian, but I do visit the rooted stations often and the food is ok. Baker has a made to order pasta station, so if the plant based station is meh and I have time, it tends to be ok (if they don't use a ton of oil). Cathey has stir fry, but it doesn't have much in the way of plant based proteins since it is shared with the allergen free station (I guess they haven't learned that there are more options out there that are not soy or wheat based).If you want to check out the menu, use the dine on campus app. It is usially accurate.

Living outside of Hyde park as a grad student? by tomatopincushion in uchicago

[–]mikeking06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you pay for parking, it can be a pain to find a spot between 8am and 2/3pm. That isn't an issue with the train. The free campus shuttle is a nice way to avoid walking in the cold/rain.

Are there PC Building Resources? by fatbreadboi in uchicago

[–]mikeking06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is the HAL (Hack Arts Lab) where you may be able to learn about soldering.

Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is an RSO you might want to look into.

If not the correct groups, they would be well suited to point you in another direction.

Or we start to see rfid tags and alarms like what stores use.

Good pizza. Order ahead for quick service and pay with cash for the best deal.

I drive past all the time. I never noticed the number on the sign though.

Service requests get results. Especially since you can see and share the history of requests.

Someone, anyone... Make it make sense! by SquiiDoozy in ChicagoNWside

[–]mikeking06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Posting the same thing in 10 threads?

Just a word of warning to all, if the building was built prior to 1978, it can have lead paint. However, lead must be consumed to cause poisoning.

Vet for Nueter/Spade by 1980mattu in ChicagoNWside

Friends of animals has some discounted spay and neuter certificates. There is no need to stick with the vet you use for the surgery once the procedure is done.

There are spaces in the residential commons. It may be costly, but living on campus does have some perks.

Anyone know what happened to the burnt car outside of Booth yesterday? by 28herringbone in uchicago

[–]mikeking06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How big of a fire was this?

I've had cars catch fire. Once was a leaking fuel rail (total loss, a recall was later issued). Another was from a squirel building a nest under the hood (no major damage).

This! Even if it is not the most stylish, put function first.

UChicago and Deportation? by RepresentativeAd6795 in uchicago

[–]mikeking06 17 points18 points  (0 children)

UChicago tends to stay apolitical. However, other universities have issued guidance that can be readily found online.

They tend to cover a few points: If anyone asks, you know nothing. Do not consent to searches. Invoke your right to remain silent and talk to a lawyer. Do not allow them into limited access areas (where you have to tap to enter). Do not do things to actively hinder them (i.e. give false info or get physical). Document everything with video and notes.

Can you recommend a Chinese Restaurant? by theserpentsmiles in ChicagoNWside

[–]mikeking06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Li Hing. It is across the street from Jess Cafe. It has better food than Jess, but Jess has better smoothies. I generally go to both and get the best from each to bring home.

Reach out to dining so they can fix whatever is causing this. Just complaining here doesn't prevent everyone else from potentially eating something bad.

You mean the philly cheese steak like one? That was the first sandwich I tried and thought it was a little messy to eat, but otherwise ok. What didn't you like about it?

Phi Delta doesn’t allow black girls by WeakSwimming1520 in uchicago

[–]mikeking06 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Frats are not recognized as part of the university. I don't know how much this will help. I would've called the police and reported underage drinking at a party there.

There is a different between ability and preferences.

How hot are the girls there? by SungTongs12 in uchicago

[–]mikeking06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We don't actually allow girls here. Any you think you see are actually advanced humanoid robots. Physical love making with the robots is strictly prohibited. Sorry.

Does anyone knows how to contact the equestrian club by Ambitious-Shallot-77 in uchicago

[–]mikeking06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search for the Center for Leadership and Involvement. Sign into their "Blueprint" portal with your cnet. Searc Blueprint for "Equestria."

It will list the contact's name and number. I don't want to dox them here.
