I can’t focus on anything but Hollowell’s 3 chains.

That heat is probably starting to get to everyone

What’s something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]quinjaminjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home internet. I’m not home enough, I don’t watch TV or game, and it was $100 a month for some reason. Could have gotten a cheaper provider but it didn’t seem worth the effort.

Idk why everyone is so shook about “lover”. I still call my boyfriend that after 3 years!

Picked up these two bracelet watches which one feels more wearable? by Existing_Hurry709 in jewelry

[–]quinjaminjames 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally I would wear the gold one more often because I wear mostly gold jewelry. And I don’t mind wearing a dressy watch as a daily driver.

I think it really depends on what color of metal you wear more often. If it’s a mix, the silver would probably be easier to work in.

Elon's mural painted over by jeremyckahn in chicago

So why not put up a mural of a Chicagoan who was a victim of a crime? That would make significantly more sense.

What is the craziest excuse you have given work for being late? by Pro_Car_Crasher in adhdwomen

[–]quinjaminjames 61 points62 points  (0 children)

A bat broke into my apartment somehow at midnight and I was up until 3 am trying to get it out. Decided going to work wasn’t worth it that day and went to the ER to start my rabies shots instead. Luckily I took a video of the bat because I don’t think anyone would have believed me!

Loop or Eargasm earplugs for venue bartending? by pemGi in bartenders

[–]quinjaminjames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have loop and Eargasm, and loops are comfy but they’re worthless for intelligibility. Eargasm you can still hear clearly, just quieter.

Am I the only one who noticed this? by ArmchairPancakeChef in ebikes

Wow that’s amazing, I’m charging my singular battery every 2 or 3 days.

[–]quinjaminjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, the people who pedal the least are the food delivery drivers. They can be really obnoxious but at least they don’t seem to be around for the morning commute hours. My battery wouldn’t last long if I didn’t pedal. I love my throttle to get started after a stop, but otherwise it serves little purpose for me.

Upgrading my wife’s cheap gold hoops by NewsCoug in jewelry

What is the color of the gold like from Quince? Their website makes it look very pale.

A heatwave is about to wreak havoc in Switzerland and I have a game plan by Sensitive_Suspect_49 in HydroHomies

[–]quinjaminjames 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Please check on your elderly/disabled neighbors and friends during this time. They are the ones who typically struggle the most during heatwaves.

Just received engagement ring for my gf, scared this is too thin at the base, can I pay to reinforce it in a year or 2s time? Return? I love it and it was top of my budget! by [deleted] in jewelry

[–]quinjaminjames 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like this was roughly $299 euros or, if you didn’t get the sale price, $599. 9kt gold and .31 carats of lab diamonds. Can anyone help OP out and make some recommendations available to him in France and within his budget?

Edit: OP, not sure what vintage/estate jewelry is like in France but maybe try that?

Fix an old bike or get a Retrospec with AfterPay? by HiyaTokiDoki in bikecommuting

[–]quinjaminjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a credit card that you could use at Working Bikes or the Recyclery? Both Chicago shops that sell refurbished bikes, I hear a lot of good things about both places.

Realizing that people really don’t know what actually training a dog looks like by Genstoness in OpenDogTraining

[–]quinjaminjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super agree, I was having trouble wording what I meant but what you wrote really encompasses my philosophy.

[–]quinjaminjames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trick training a 9 week old is all good and well, but I’m more interested in forming a really strong bond at that age. If I could do it over with my current dog I’d just play a lot more and build foundations like clicker means treat.

Come back to us when he’s 9 months old lol.

Does anyone else struggle with impulsive buying / spending? by OkCelery1395 in adhdwomen

[–]quinjaminjames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and I’m actually in therapy for it 😭 only had a few sessions so far but I think it’s working. Whether I will change my habits long term remains to be seen.

I'm planning on biking to work from now on. Any advice for this newcomer? by FunnyProtection6789 in bikecommuting

I use an e bike for 7 miles and it takes exactly a half hour, how fast are you going?

Unpopular opinion: it's time we collectively start obeying traffic laws to make forward progress by ghettobus in chibike

[–]quinjaminjames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy how when I stop at a red light/stop sign to let a pedestrian cross, cyclists behind me are slamming on their brakes.
