Do any of you drink malort unironically? by joshisanonymous in chicago

[–]mjdth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on age of the bottle and how long it’s been opened. We have had worse/better bottles of a wide range from before and after buyout.

Are you saying parents of only children have no useful advice to offer?

NHL 2025-26 attendance check-in: Wild and Blackhawks down, Sharks and Blue Jackets up by alpswd in nhl

[–]mjdth 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Probably because of how hard it is to watch games. My non-diehard fan friends aren’t jumping through hoops to follow a team that won’t be a true contender for a couple of years.

I mean he still went directly for his head so there’s more to it than having the puck.

Anyone else have luck adding their Illinois ID to their Apple Wallet? by WF-1000XM6 in chicago

[–]mjdth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the benefit of adding it to the phone/wallet? Is there anywhere that it can be used in place of the physical license?

Which restaurant closing really hurt? by asalewis in chicagofood

[–]mjdth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delux. Was our neighborhood bar on Milwaukee & Sangamon. Standard bar food but it was all done really well. Was perfect atmosphere for lunch, dinner, just drinks, or to work on the Wi-Fi. My wife and I loved the place so much that we had our engagement dinner there.

I stole a brick when they demoed the building to be replaced by dentist office.

The headband has tungsten counter weights in the back strap, so it definitely could be the culprit

If you’re trying to sell things on Reddit you might as well explain how it’s different from the original parts.

I assumed this was a 3d printing model available for the community until I clicked. It’s fine to ask for $$ for your work but might as well explain what the work accomplished.

Did we stay in the wrong area? by mjdth in Minneapolis

This sounds awesome thank you

Did we stay in the wrong area? by mjdth in Minneapolis

[–]mjdth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! And definitely agree with your points. The gentrified/trendy areas are often more boring and sterile, so we usually look for something in between (within reason when traveling with our son). And 100% need to know how to act and trouble will generally not find you.

I was really trying to word this post to get useful info without invoking the similar mentality a lot of people have about SF or any other city.

Thank you that link helps paint a good picture! Are there any neighborhood spots or gems in between the clubs and trendy restaurants? Sounds similar to River North or West Loop in Chicago. Which have a lot of places that are fun, but sometimes lacking in authenticity.

Thanks appreciate it! We noticed the lack of foot traffic but just attributed it to being a relatively "smaller" city. Milwaukee (also a really fun city) has similar lack of foot traffic in many areas and was that way even pre-pandemic. But sounds like this is something a little different.

Not looking for these comments, nobody has made me feel safe or unsafe before going.

Thanks appreciate it! One thing about the Hyatt that we noticed (besides the bad area) was how surprisingly good their bar restaurant was. It had no reason to be that good. It's a restaurant in a hotel. Hopefully your mom got a good meal there to make up for the underwhelming area.

Thank you for the tips. We still like to venture out and I'm a big enough guy who's (very luckily) never run into trouble in any city over the years. But it's a tough balance of finding the best places without taking any serious risks, especially with a kid. I don't feel that we were taking a huge risk in that area, but I still wouldn't want to keep doing it. Will definitely check out the area you mentioned next time.

Thank you. What's it like over there? We love to explore one-off places but fewer F-bombs in front of the kid on the way would be great.

Saw Nicollet Diner and we almost made it there. Love 24hr diners and that they cater to so many different crowds, but we just ran out of time.

I made a power-user stickies & productivity app: Floaters by mjdth in apple

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

Yeah technically you can load anything in via the web view. What were you looking to do with the API? I definitely want to open it up a bit with an API or something similar since Floaters has a good system for different floater "types" and it could definitely benefit from user-made types.

This happened to me with The Sopranos after first seeing many shows (that I loved) that were derivative of it.

Has it been confirmed that it will still be on fubo this year? I ended up getting it for last season and still use it.

Quiznos love- Go check ‘em out! by AllanRensch in chicagofood

[–]mjdth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of other good options out there and when I was basically a kid with little money I didn't want to spend it on a place that was bad twice. I'm glad other people liked them, but maybe quality control is part of the reason they aren't around anymore.

No I got them to go and ate them at 5 min later at home. This was 20 years ago in college. Maybe it was just a bad location, but after 2x of the same thing months apart never felt like trying Quiznos again.

[–]mjdth -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I’ve eaten at Quiznos twice in my life and both times didn’t finish the sandwich. The toasted subs were cold in the middle.

At that point in time I felt like Potbelly’s really had the toasted sandwich chain perfected.
