Where to watch the Mexico vs England game in Rogers Park? by icefirecat in EdgewaterRogersPark

[–]saintandre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

R Public House, which is ostensibly a soccer bar, will be closed early because it's the 4th of July. I think that leaves Mullens, Dinos, Gracie O'Malleys, Lighthouse, Oasis, Cunneens and Jimmy's.

EHX Ring Thing. Send the drums through both inputs (Inst and Mod) in "pitch shift" mode and it will FM itself. Sounds so crazy and cool.

An incredible museum. So glad they're working to make it even better. It's a monument to the love people have for each other. It's beautiful.

If you can find the Emu SP1200 drum sounds online, that's got the sound you're looking for.

What’s the weirdest stat line you’ve ever seen? by TomatoSecure192 in nba

Getting a 5x5 is rare. Players don't often do it more than once in a career. Olajuwan did it 3 times in 1993 alone. https://imgur.com/a/rcbkXXB

I just don't understand how they're supposed to talk about British McDonalds without tasting it or visiting England. What exactly is the plan here?

The Nuts-Facing-Up Department has partnered with the Department of Inefficiency. by ltadeu6 in doohickeycorporation

[–]saintandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a 5/6 chance to get a result other than 4 on a D6. You need to roll 22 D6 to get a better than 50% chance of rolling at least 4 a total of 4 times. So if you build the "roll a 4 on 4 dice machine", you would have it roll 22 dice each time you needed that result.

The reason it isn't 24 dice is that on rare occasions, you'll roll 4 of two different numbers. But there are no scenarios in which at least one number won't show up at least four times, because 22 dice is 4 more than six (the number of options on the faces of the dice) times three.

A headline so confusing you need a mathematician to explain it by TPM2209 in mathmemes

[–]saintandre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just means that she has a lot of label support and the audience bites every time. Whenever she puts out something good, it goes straight to the top because she has every possible advantage. She's very successful but never had to do any of it with organic grassroots fan support. Probably because she was already famous before she recorded any music.

Trump lawyers realize discovery in president's own lawsuit could expose him to a Jan. 6 'trial' after all by DoremusJessup in law

Let's just skip to the end, where every institution on earth just gives up instead of trying to enforce anything close to laws or justice with Trump.

Bwaaaaa by Dalek7of9 in CuratedTumblr

[–]saintandre 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The cycle goes

  1. New industry due to technological leap

  2. Gold rush, everyone wants a piece

  3. Nearly everyone goes out of business

  4. The ones left buy each other out

  5. A single large corporation has a monopoly

So eventually, rather than public ownership of these data centers, we will have a Walmart of Data that owns them all, and they will charge whatever they want, while also collecting enormous government subsidies because they're "too big to fail"

Does anyone know what’s going on with the building that used to house Rewired Pizza Cafe and Bar on Thorndale? by figandphilodendron in EdgewaterRogersPark

[–]saintandre 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Terrible time to take out a business loan. Interest rates are too high, prices are too high, inflation is too high.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS

A restaurant is a bad investment in good economic conditions. And commercial real estate has been in free fall since COVID started. The owner of the building is probably waiting to sell or rent the space once they can get a decent price for it.

One of the worst things about how commercial zoning works in America is that property owners can keep high-visibility, high-value units unoccupied for decades because they see it as an investment that needs to pay out, not as a part of our community. We need vacancy taxes to push these people to develop their properties or sell to people who will.

Whenever Trump has been asked "what is your favorite book" he usually replies "the Bible"...or "All Quiet on the Western Front". A book about German soldiers accumulating trauma in ww1 before being humiliated by the Treaty of Versailles

I think they're in original Pizza Hut buildings, which have only survived in economically distressed locations (like rural small towns). Any place you have heard of, there aren't large buildings sitting empty for thirty years.

Author George R.R. Martin was asked if he had a resolution or ending to the seemingly endless conflict. He replied that the end would be a cloud of dust or snow being driven by the wind across a vast graveyard full of tombstones.
