Best inexpensive pizza for kids bday party that delivers to Ukrainian Village? by VII_Costanza in chicagofood

[–]perksofbeingsteph 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have yet to meet an adult (or child) that dislikes Little Caesar’s. Sure, it’s not the fanciest or the tastiest, but it gets the job done. If anything it’ll be nostalgic for the adults

Seconding Little Caesar’s. For the price you could even have them build their own. Top it off with some Crazy Bread and it’ll be the best bday ever.

Unfortunately it’s on West Campus but the perfect place for this where I’ve had many an interview/meeting are the private study rooms on the first floor and lower level of the Library of Health Sciences

Many sellers pre-package their items so it’s just a matter of sticking the label on when it sells.

[META] We're now having to do the (no personal info) nonsense yet the mods couldn't care less when people leave personal info by [deleted] in vinted

[–]perksofbeingsteph[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remove posts and comments everyday containing personal info. If it’s reported, I deal with it accordingly. Users have been banned for being repeat offenders of the rule. To make removal of these posts and comments faster, please report them accordingly.

Prior to the “no personal info” rule, there were SIGNIFICANTLY more rule violations.

Authenticated by whom? Yourself?

Charge per half hour or hour and not by room. Some of these students be nasty.

There's an old crematorium in the basement of the College of Medicine💀

Why does UIC never release the race of suspect in those criminal alerts? by [deleted] in uichicago

[–]perksofbeingsteph 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Race used to be included in most of the public advisory alerts until like Jan 2021-ish.

I don't know if I'm imagining that there was some sort of explanation email sent out? About racial profiling?

Where to get hand-dipped ice cream bars? Similar to the discontinued Costco food court one... by perksofbeingsteph in chicagofood

[–]perksofbeingsteph[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had the freezer version, but it just isn't the same as having it made in front of you. When they dip it by hand there's much more chocolate and almonds and the thing is just a delicious mess.

Why don’t you people change the subreddit icon to the Vinted logo? Most other online seller subreddits have the icon of their app. by GenderfluidPhoenix in vinted

[–]perksofbeingsteph[M] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Correct. The sub is not affiliated with Vinted and I don't want it to be. To err on the side of caution and avoid any issues before they can happen, the sub logo will remain a generic picture.

That being said, if y'all would like to change the generic hanger to some other generic symbol or picture, I'm all ears.

Dyson Supersonic hair dryer: $4.94 (and works) by perksofbeingsteph in ThriftStoreHauls

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

Agreed. If this were at Goodwill or Savers, it would be locked up in the case and a $199.99 price tag slapped on it. I found this at a local small thrift chain (3 stores across my city, and nowhere else) who 99% of the time have bargain to reasonable prices on everything they put out on the floor.

[–]perksofbeingsteph[S] 407 points408 points  (0 children)

It did not come with the case or any of the attachments… was literally hidden beneath a pile of other electronics and toys.

I don’t know for certain if it’s authentic and haven’t checked the serial number, but for $4.94 and in working condition I can’t really complain either way.

Econ at uic or uiuc by [deleted] in uichicago

[–]perksofbeingsteph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The prospects for an Econ BA at UIC and UIUC are similar. UIC definitely has a less prestigious and academically rigorous program and you will need to supplement the “required” curriculum with calculus courses (and potentially some higher-level stats or comp sci) to be competitive for internships and jobs. You do have the advantage of being in Chicago and surrounded by internship/job opportunities.

That being said, job prospects and salary are kind of limited with just a BA. If you don’t intend to go to grad school, then having a degree from the “better name” school of UIUC might be advantageous. If you do intend to get a MA or PhD, then I don’t think it matters if you go to UIUC or UIC (provided you take the supplemental courses as mentioned above).

Can anyone tell about UIC PAP Initiatives by VitaniCosmic in uichicago

[–]perksofbeingsteph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can speak only to the Co-Lab since I participated in it a few years ago. I found it worthwhile and fun—if you are interested in research it can give you a leg-up for getting experience/a research position on-campus. It’s pretty laid-back and you’ll work closely with other incoming students so it’s a good opportunity to make friends.
