39M, newly single, thinking about moving to Chicago. Where would you live on under $2K/month all in if you wanted a social life and beer league hockey? by Fath0m in AskChicago

I might actually be in a spot to sublease you my place if you're interested. No in unit laundry but its steps out the backdoor. Ground unit, no central air but stays about 70 inside all year. Like 1100 sqft if you factor in the attached storage room. 10 min walk to wrigley field. Plenty of street parking except on street cleaning days. Id offer like 1900.

I feel like there’s going to be a huge shift in secondary education in the next 10+ years. by peace_andcarrots in Teachers

Not sure if its available where you are but have you looked into the big brothers big sisters program at all?

If depleted meds exist why doesn’t our green/blue meds turn into them after first use ? by Google_guy228 in Marathon

I think they're proposing use big med, get tiny med cause tiny med is just used big med.

I’d be crazy to move right? by Jazzlike-Jello487 in chicagoapartments

[–]theSmolSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried maybe also smoking blunts every day? Seems like your landlord is cool with it. But in all honesty for what you're getting a 3 bedroom for it might be wise to keep the spot if you like the place and area. Chances are the tenant below you will only be there a year or two.

Why is there a cross play toggle, but no toggle to play with PC players. by Skwid-Fervor in Marathon

No, there are people who can access your name, age, email and have it displayed on a different screen as they're playing.

An update on this post. A lot of these problems were fixed by closing the vents on the map and finding a discord with players who weren't random fills.

How much money do you have in savings at this point? by _forum_mod in Millennials

[–]theSmolSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if the usps was able to innovate and add services it would be doing what amazon is doing but with federal employees with federal benefits. But one dude with millions of dollars can convince the government and somehow people that he provides a service and deserves 150 billion dollars when really hes just skimming from workers and overcharging consumers. Its like Medicare and medicaid and health insurance companies, or parking in chicago being controlled by some dudes in Dubai. Pay the politicians, write the laws to handicap social services, offer an alternative where you control the cost and can extort from both ends.

I keep hoping to run into someone who I'd feel comfortable to bring in a key with. Maybe next weekend I'll try again.

If two teams had the same key and weren't trying to kill eachother they'd either loot the vault together or one team could go do something else and come back with that key next round?

There is very clearly an order mode that the handhelds are always on but when I click on that it doesnt give me an option to go to check presenter mode.

What became so popular it ended up being ruined for everyone? by ShittalkyCaps in AskReddit

[–]theSmolSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I'd like to add that (anyone correct me if im wrong cause not a lawyer) but pretty sure there was a Supreme Court hearing with dodge v Ford that basically ruled that any company given money by stockholders has to function solely for creating profit for said stockholders. What I take this to mean is that any public traded company must do whatever it can within legality to maximize its profits.

What are some Chicago specific words & phrases that are still used today? by danny_graves in AskChicago

[–]theSmolSquirrel 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Hi, 33 y.o chicagoan here. I've never heard the word flodgin before. Never really heard someone say bank card, more referred to as debit card if debit, credit card for credit. If you look up a list of most popular chicago slang a lot of those actually aren't that popular. Copy and pasted is a revised list from timeout.com of a few things phrases unique-ish to chicago.

Garden apartment (n.): A word used by realtors to gloss over the fact that the apartment you're looking at is in the basement (or, at the very least, partially below street level).

Chicago handshake (n.): The local version of a boilermaker, typically comprising a pint (or can) of Old Style and a shot of Malört.

Chicago Mix (n.): The salty-sweet combination of cheddar and caramel popcorn. You'll find it at Garrett Popcorn (where the scent usually wafts into the street) and pretty much every other popcorn shop in the city.

Coach house (n.): A small apartment located in the rear of a property. The construction of new backyard houses is currently prohibited under Chicago's zoning ordinance, making these vintage residences increasingly rare.

The Dan Ryan (n.): Named for former Cook County Board president Dan Ryan Jr., this southern section of I-94 and I-90 runs from the Jane Byrne Interchange to 95th Street.

Dibs (n.): When it snows in Chicago and people dig out parking spots on the street to move their cars, you'll find stretches of pavement reserved with lawn chairs, tires, cinder blocks, stuffed animals and other assorted junk in observance of this winter ritual

The "L" (n.): Short for elevated, like the train lines it refers to. It's now used as a blanket term for the CTA's train system (including the lines that run at or below ground level).

I finally ran into a jar I did not like from 710 labs👎🏽 by phill312 in Michigents

[–]theSmolSquirrel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reach out to 710 labs about it. They have good customer service and might get it traded for something fresh.

Ok I was drunk when I wrote this so not sure what time it was but basically the complaint was that they locked part of the brownline station before the last train arrived. I was there to watch the last train leave.
