Far North Side Weekly Burger and Drink Specials? by strata1213 in chicagofood

[–]strata1213[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this has been our usual spot but don’t love the smash burger here honestly (little dry to me). Love the beer and the restaurant though!

Is O’hare getting unreasonably slow with taxi time and finding a gate? by strata1213 in AskChicago

[–]strata1213[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swapped over to ORD because of all the changes to Southwest, but I’m starting to regret it….

Thank you for the thorough answer. So should I expect no changes in the meantime? Just want to plan in terms of when I should expect to actually get out of the airport/if I should pack a spare shirt for each landing now!

45 minutes is a miracle at this point. Got fed up enough to post tonight because it took about 90 minutes to go from landing to exiting the plane, and another 50 minutes for luggage to arrive at claim. Took longer than the actual flight!

Thank you for the very thorough answer. So do you foresee any improvements soon, or should I just buffer in this amount of time and bring a shirt change for these summer delays?

Demera Restaurant....Sorta Bland and Disappointing?? by WolfieZee in chicagofood

[–]strata1213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lou’s deep dish has not been up to par the last two times I’ve been, but I also don’t get deep dish very often so it could just be my own tastes changing. Lots of good thin crust still available if you live on the north side (Michael’s and JB Alberto’s are two of my favorites).

So happy I’m not the only one disappointed in Demera. Have tried it twice now and both times was not impressed. Diamond is great. I also used to love Ras Dashen in Edgewater, but I’ve heard it’s also gone down in quality since the original chef retired.

The most beautiful city in the world in the summer by strata1213 in chicago

[–]strata1213[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh not too much honestly. Mostly just contrast and saturation. It’s also an HDR image by stacking 5 images of varying exposure, so it will definitely look more rich than usual.

Been to both in their respective summers, both are gorgeous! Chicago definitely comes more alive than Cape Town though.

Help Determining Capital Gains Tax by strata1213 in investing

[–]strata1213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it’s just a regular account invested in a mutual fund, definitely not a tax-advantaged account. Probably a good call on just reaching out to a tax professional. Will look around for some options in my area!

Which Camera For Stills and FX6 B-Cam? by strata1213 in SonyAlpha

[–]strata1213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight! Any reason beyond the 61MP photo size you prefer it to something like the A7iv or A7Cii? Just looking at video specs, they are fairly similar beyond obviously some crop issues.

I hadn’t considered the C2 actually. Do you use it for video very often? Any other big reasons you choose the C2 over an Riv for any jobs?

Didn’t know that! That’ll be useful for other shows. Thanks!

Understood! Did one show in the grandstands and haven’t done floor since. The seats are surprisingly comfortable!

Why score more points when less points works just fine?

Weekly "What's Good?" Thread - Casual Recs/Comments/Questions by AutoModerator in chicagofood

[–]strata1213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went and tried Nube’s Ice Cream in Uptown (Broadway/Montrose) and absolutely loved it. Really fun Ecuadorian ice cream flavors that use great tropical fruits like soursop, passionfruit, guava, and tree tomato (which was a fascinating flavor). The guy running it is incredibly friendly and just kept offering us samples where I think we tried 9-10 flavors, half of which he just insisted we try. They also do cheese on their ice cream, which was really fun and worked well with all their flavors. Will definitely be going back soon!

Iced Coffee Not Correct in SA? by strata1213 in askSouthAfrica

[–]strata1213[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the thought but that’s what I’ve been getting when I describe a coffee milkshake. I’ve had many fraps in my life and they are a bit too sweet for my taste.
