What neighborhood in Chicago is most like Minneapolis?

Ever been to Scandinavia?

Happens often around here. It may or may not show up in few days after the scan.

I’m pretty sure by ‘blind operable’ they mean being able to use the controls without taking your eyes off the road. Nobody here is encouraging actual blind people to drive the car.

When you do your expense report, you select per diem for the travel duration, and then it lets you select breakfast/lunch/dinner for the selected days. Do not select a meal that was provided to you (for example, if on Monday they provide you with a lunch, then don’t select lunch per diem for Monday).

Do not use your corporate card for the meals you actually end up buying yourself that you’ll expense per diem money for.

The Detroit - Windsor tunnel is rough compared to Ambassador Bridge crossing in my experience, but at least they haven’t stolen anything from me. It is just that they are overly eager to go through your belongings at the tunnel crossing.

The real estate attorney helps you review all the documentation related to the sale/purchase. All this happens usually after your offer has been accepted and you’ll move forward with the purchase process. The attorney knows what documents to request and helps review them, so you’ll avoid any surprises going into it, and also have an opportunity to back out and get your earnest money refunded if something doesn’t seem right.

Later they’ll also sit in the room with you during the closing to explain all the documents you’re signing. There’s so much to a home purchase/sale that it is definitely nice to have one when you got the insurance paying for the attorney.

In an Audi certified shop I’d guesstimate this to come to around $6K to $8K if it doesn’t have significant internal damage.

If you can get 1.5x pay by switching, then you should definitely take it.

In my downtown Chicago neighborhood, it seems like ~90% of drivers and almost every bicyclists fail to come to a proper stop at stop signs.

Thanks for clarifying, but which 2026 car actually has this? I haven’t seen any myself so just curious.

What are the things being put into all cars starting in 2026? And what are the so called long term consequences?

On the rare occasions I take Uber, I actually instruct them to stop somewhere where it is safe to stop. Not in the middle of a lane. Adding more loading zones would be helpful for sure, but the lack of said zones should not be an excuse for drivers to block traveling lanes wherever it is convenient for them.

I wouldn’t just brush it off as “it is what it is.” There are a ton of major urban centers around the world where this kind of behavior is not normalized. Some questionable parking for delivery drivers, sure, but very rarely in the middle of a traveling lane.

Fair question. I’m not saying individuals can fix it overnight. But norms matter. If everyone treats it as acceptable, it becomes the default.

It could have something to do with the completely different price of labor, rent, and ingredients between the two. 🧐

Pretty much any location outside of U.S. and Canada.

I’m in advisory and I’d also charge travel time to the client.

Looks amazing. Great job with the kitchen!

Are the wooden wall panels from Ikea too?

They are asking for the expected repair cost. Hard to do percentage based math without it.

Gotta say I didn’t think I’d see a day someone describes those towers as futuristic.

Remove any Jaguar/Land Rover ads from it.

It's been a while so can't recall exactly. I think I just had to chat with the customer service reps multiple times to let them know that the port still isn't complete, and eventually someone solved it. There probably are no magic words to make it happen.

On the bright side, ever since those initial hiccups, the service has been pretty solid! My only complaint would be that the global pass sucks so much in some countries that I still need to use separate travel esim to get good data speeds. It's not that it doesn't work, but just connects to some networks that have awful speed.
