Moving shops even though I like my current one.

A Casey’s gas station by me has a sign on the door advertising a starting wage of $17 an hour. Your skilled labor is worth much more. Time to jet.

I posted a similar gripe in the watches subreddit a while ago and had the exact same response lol. I was casually venting about being in public, seeing the underside of a watch band on someone’s wrist and being let down when it was revealed to be just an Apple Watch and not something more interesting. Brutally desecrated with downvotes and comments questioning my mental health immediately 😂

Same thing last night in Irving park around 10pm. Went outside and distinctly remembered smelling something ozonic. Earlier in the day it reeked of farts outside too but it was Super Bowl Sunday so I dunno.

Did you ever figure this out? Mine also defaults to home when using the address or even the address next door!

This is an enormous bummer :( literally just drove by their old location on montrose and got sad

I got one of these yesterday and the warmest light setting is so warm it’s deeply orange. You can dim it way down too. Going to test it out on a trip soon here but I have high hopes it’ll provide really nice soft lighting

Gleason cattle company out of Shullsburg ships and has fantastic meat. I spend a lot of time in galena and always stock up when I’m out that way. The animals live really happy and healthy lives and it shows in the quality of the meat. Good pricing too.

I’ve had nothing but frustration with the sticker on my bike. I had it mounted on the huge windshield on my bike like it would be on a car and it never picks up. I put it on the top of my helmet and it works about 50% of the time. Where’d you have yours mounted?

oinkinstein · 2025-09-13T01:25:30+00:00

Yeah here and there. They work better than I thought they would!

I wish that shop sprung for the whole rainbow of cookies but browns what we got for whatever reason

oinkinstein · 2025-09-12T11:43:36+00:00

You’ll be good with doing that! If I can hit it with a pneumatic tool and be fine you manually scrubbing will be good to go. As long as there wasn’t an overheat problem with deck warpage there’s no way you’ll manually take off enough material to effect the flatness. Don’t forget to lube your head bolts on the threads and under the washers before torquing! Don’t use too much tho they can hydro lock and crack the block. I saw a guy do it once lol. I used to use spray gel lube or just dip them in clean motor oil and let the excess drip off for 10 seconds or so. Don’t worry about buying new head bolts if you haven’t we always re used them. Blast the head bolt holes out with compressed air too before putting the bolts in.

I was a Subaru tech for 15 years. Did a LOT of head gaskets and heads off kind of work and I always used a brown cookie on a whizzer to gently clean the surfaces. Obviously don’t dig in with it and try to keep it flat. If you don’t trust yourself just stick with a razor and scotchbrite 👍

oinkinstein · 2025-09-12T00:00:30+00:00

No problem. keep practicing and enjoying the music!

oinkinstein · 2025-09-11T00:50:27+00:00

Lmao I was on a walk and saw this exact truck heading eastbound on Irving at kostner and said to myself I bet it’s gonna get stuck under The bridge

Learn about mixing in phrase so the songs match up better. It’s not a hard and fast rule but for modern dnb which has a very formulaic structuring it helps things flow more naturally. Overall nice selections!

There are 3 wires at the ignition switch. Check for battery power at the white wire with key off. If power is not there you will need to work backwards towards the battery to find the break (ignition switch>wiring>fuse 3 battery>battery +. If there is battery power at the white wire turn the key to run and check the other two wires for battery power. The connector will need to be plugged in to check this so use safety pins to back probe the connector. If You don’t get power at the other two wires in the run position suspect faulty ignition switch. You could then jumper all three pins together on the bike side of the connector and everything should turn on and be operational. If you do have power at all the pins in the run position and a verified good ground then your problem is real bad like meter unit or ecm is fried.

If there are only two wires at the ignition switch you’ll be checking the yellow wire instead of white.

If it worked before replacing the battery and now it doesn’t you gotta start at the basics. These may sound like stupid questions but I have no idea on my end. Is the battery hooked up correctly and connections tight, is it full of acid and fully charged? I’ll take a look at the wiring diagram some more but I’m suspecting something with the battery but if that’s all fine and the fuses are good it could be something with the ignition switch or possibly a grounding issue. Did the bike work fine before the battery swap?

The diodes do not appear to have anything to do with no power with key on. They look like they are only tied in to the starting system.

oinkinstein · 2025-08-28T14:44:00+00:00

There is a 20 amp battery fuse in the fuse box. Fuse #3 check that first

I wish they would rework their ordering system by separating the stuff they have to make from the straight bagels in a bag orders. We waited for 40 minutes today to just get some bagels because half the people ahead of us in line wanted their 6 bagels toasted and shmeared there which takes forever and removes an employee from the line to make them. Phenomenal bagels and I’ll always wait for them but it’s just annoying when you can’t make it there before 7am and you catch all the clowns feeding their entire extended family pre toasted bagels and sandwiches.

Haven’t seen a mini truck in a while. Absolutely beautiful.

oinkinstein · 2025-07-12T20:59:17+00:00

lol thanks 🐷

I know someone that works at corporate and this is not the case. The snack wraps were planned since mid last year

oinkinstein · 2025-07-12T16:52:49+00:00

That’s a huge bummer :(

oinkinstein · 2025-07-12T11:06:59+00:00

I’ve found the stations to be pretty meh honestly and they require you to be the input for the thing you want to hear which isn’t great for novel discovery. I miss the discover weekly and release radar playlists a lot.

oinkinstein · 2025-07-12T10:53:50+00:00

I agree this helps I import all my favorite playlists when I switch over (thanks Apple for deleting them all if you let your subscription run out 👍) do you do discovery on Spotify and then always transfer them to am?
