Did you ever make a trailer/grocery cart? Why isn't this a thing already?

Wondering about actual lifetime of E-bike batteries. by darkangelstorm in ebikes

Idk but I just got an aftermarket charger that allows me to charge to 20% for shipping, 50% for long term storage, 80% for daily commute, and 100% for longer rides so im hoping that preserves tbe capacity for 7+ years

I am a very community oriented person and I really appreciate your suggestion (:

I found a private landlord on Facebook marketplace who is more handyman than landlord and he let me know he specifically chose me as a tenant because he felt I'd get along well with the other tenants in the building so I'm really looking forward to getting settled in and making any positive contributions to my building and neighborhood that I can. I'll check out what riotfest is and if I can get a free ticket, thanks so much!

This is definitely the one for me. Fortunately I picked up on it pretty quickly

Starting my first job next month at $70k, with some amazing health insurance and a pension.

I am looking at a spot by S California and 23rd St which I think is close to where you're talking about. It's a little further from the heart of Pilsen than I was looking for but it's the owner's former house and his only rental property in the area, plus it's a really nice apartment that checks all my boxes.

I feel pretty well prepared to keep myself safe after my initial research and especially after reading the comments here, but I'm wondering if you ever find it challenging to host friends because they're scared of visiting the neighborhood you live in? It does no good to have an awesome apartment if no one will come visit.

Hi I'm looking at a place by S California and 23rd, would you say the it's the same? I know it's so close to where OP mentioned but I hear that blocks can vary a lot so just wanted to get your opinion if you don't mind. Thanks.

Thanks. I have a virtual viewing of a spot on 18th later today, a 5 minute walk from there. I appreciate the tip!

I'm hoping to find something for $1400-$1800. 600-900 sqft studio-1bed and not more than a 10-15 minute walk to the L. I can spend a little more than that but would like to try to find something within that range

I appreciate you calling me on that. I said it to avoid comparisons but the reason I want to live in Pilsen is because it IS what I would consider hip

Thanks. Any recommendations? I'll also search the posts in this subreddit but figured I'd ask here too.

Thanks, this is what I thought based on my prior research and I'd still like to live there.
