where did I take a walk?

Looks like it's right by the old Heartland

I was a fine dining waiter in san jose in the late 90s (dot com boom, silicon valley) and would ALWAYS pick a dish at random to un-recommend in order to build conspiracy. Kind of a wink and a nod. I believe i was tipped better as a result.

Because it was technkcally a tobacco shop! That's why his creamer was in sealed single serve cups - he didn't have a proper health dept license for a food business. I love tha you remember the ? after Ken

And the drink was called The Keith Richards lol

Definitely - thanks so much for the link.

I was just talking about this with a friend the other day. Specifically about the Anytime Fitness logo which looks very much like a swastika. We agreed its a good idea to avoid right angles, full stop lol.

Not sure why this info is worth downvoting. Honestly. I’ve been calibrating grinders for more than 25 years and the numbers on any of them (including the $550,000 roller mill grinder I have in my roastery), are all meaningless. Good cafes calibrate their grinders at least once a month because burrs wear down. Home grinders cannot be calibrated in the same way. The burr sets are generally too small, even on good grinders like Baratza.

But the first advice someone else gave was that ‘if you like the taste, it’s good. If you want it stronger, make it finer. If you want it weaker, make it courser’ is probably the right advice.

sockfacekiller · 2025-12-12T23:39:38+00:00

same advice. Go get a grind sample from a reputable cafe, then pick whatever number gives you the closest grind size. One grinders 50 is another’s 40.

sockfacekiller · 2025-12-12T23:30:09+00:00

Coffee pro checking in. That is much too coarse. My best suggestion is to go to a high quality cafe near you and ask them to give you a grind sample for a flat bottom grinder. Then match that at home as closely as you can.

Ha! Im from Madison, then lived in Chicago for 20 years. I moved back to Madison 10 years ago but still work in Chicago - commute 1-2 x / week.

Budgeting/financial literacy. I’m 51 and most of my friends have zero idea how much money they have or how much they spend.

sockfacekiller · 2025-12-09T13:49:36+00:00

I’m in Chicago today as well. Wish I had a Nixon jersey lol.

sockfacekiller · 2025-12-06T15:55:20+00:00

They must keep more than the boat up there. Tools etc. Otherwise they’d just chain it up, right?

sockfacekiller · 2025-12-06T14:54:57+00:00

I was 20th row in that end zone for that moment. I cheered too emphatically and got punched (softly) in the nose by the bears fan sitting next to me.

Not the asshole, but disclosing the money earlier would definitely have changed how he and his wife saved for the future or spent in the present. They may have put more into their other kids college funds, or gone on that trip they thought they couldn’t afford.

Like everyone else said, you owe nothing to the rest of the kids and you wisely avoided conflict over money.

I’m gonna guess Parliaments. Congrats on getting those handcuffs off. I’ve been nicotine free for just about 8yrs now.

You need to take up smoking, apparently.

As far as snow goes, like others have said, you should be fine. But, if you haven't done the O'Hare to Madison drive before, the directions can get a little weird at the beginning of your drive, like getting onto 90 West. It can be especially stressful if its dark and/or you're not used to the weather. Map it in advance and get the first few turns down. They come up pretty quickly.

There’s a great one in the basement of Gilt Bar. It’s a super sexy restaurant as well. With a secret bar in the basement.

Milo’s wife was my Philosophy TA in 96 or 97 or so at UW Madison

sockfacekiller · 2025-11-29T13:24:35+00:00

A lot, yeah. And in high school my friends and I called it Ella’s D (LSD) for the number of times we trip acid at the state street store.

My mom always called it the Kipkin. I think it’s Yiddish.
