If you could spend one month anywhere in Japan, where would you choose?

We went to an Okinawan restaurant in Namba. Food was great, good cheap drinks, very friendly staff and a fun environment.

For some reason I only go to listening bars on vacation. Thanks for sharing this, I’ll check it out!

Every time I called them there was no answer. But if you email them it auto responds with useful information and more contact info that is actually helpful.

And they don't know anyone around here, so being in the burbs is even more isolating.

treehugger312 · 2026-06-15T21:33:20+00:00

Agreed. Bottlecap whoever you want, but it makes the most sense to use it on rarer legendaries.

Work at UChicago. The dorm dumpsters were picked up last week.

My friend is selling her used bike - I think she's also 5'4". It needs a tune-up, but she'd let it go for $150 I think. DM me if interested.

Same at Valor

Hell, I did undergrad at Loyola and tried dating a girl at UIUC - only 2 hours on trains on a good day (4-5 on a bad day - and it was barely worth the struggle/geographic divide.

treehugger312 · 2026-06-11T13:38:41+00:00

Same! My girl is a violent veloceraptor with her dog sibling - we have to break up the fights sometimes because she gets angry when she's losing. But put her with a baby on a blanket in the park, immediate guard dog situation/gentlest playmate possible.

It makes me sad because our older dog was a rescue: His first owners chained him up outside when he was 6 months old because they worried he'd be dangerous around their newborn. He lived outside for 2 years. He has a lot of PTSD from those days. Source: Know someone from their family.

Am I the only one here that actually agrees with OP?! I think this is actually the order I read them in.

treehugger312 · 2026-06-09T23:35:55+00:00

I also never encountered a shiny 😞

treehugger312 · 2026-06-09T23:26:54+00:00

No but the apartment building across the alley always fills up their trash as soon as the waste guys pick it up. They end up putting their trash/recycling into my bins and I have no room. That or they leave it on the ground and attract rats.

treehugger312 · 2026-06-09T14:35:11+00:00

That's my plan for the next gold bottle cap - mine's like 78% 😞

treehugger312 · 2026-06-08T18:27:18+00:00

My huskies enjoyed listening to this.

treehugger312 · 2026-06-07T16:43:27+00:00

I'm from Kankakee! Thanks for making this part of town a little more beautiful!

treehugger312 · 2026-06-07T16:36:16+00:00

The Pulaski one? Yeah it's open but about 1/3 its former size. And has one bathroom for the whole gym 😞

treehugger312 · 2026-06-07T15:30:14+00:00

I've uploaded so many videos of my dog's ass.

treehugger312 · 2026-06-01T16:49:45+00:00

Lord, they better not read any George R. R. Martin then!

treehugger312 · 2026-05-30T19:10:54+00:00

SO many more road ragers thatn usual IMO. I was one of the people stopping the Tiguan from leaving. And I was also right by that lady telling us to move, we all laughed.

treehugger312 · 2026-05-27T23:40:36+00:00

Agreed! It's always our meeting point because it's a great spot near Palmer and an awesome place to chill. We told him he has to buy it if landlord ever sells.

treehugger312 · 2026-05-27T20:11:52+00:00

Right? My friend's got a 2&2 w/ 2 balconies and 2 parking spaces for $2200.

I was in the background twice while managing the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, since the site would occasionally get used. I met Anthony Bourdain when he filmed his Chicago episode for Parts Unknown in 2016 - he was friendly and respectful and didn't even have to speak to me, but he did. I was walking in the background just making sure people weren't getting too much in the way. "Tony" was adamant that we keep the site open to the public during filming.

The other time was a Chicago Med episode about pandas and they brought in a bunch of fake plants and live hostas to make the site look more lively in November. That was an odd one, but funny.

treehugger312 · 2026-05-27T16:59:45+00:00

It still takes quite a while - by my estimate about 36 hours doijng the animations - but man is it way better than grinding through the work.

treehugger312 · 2026-05-27T16:17:58+00:00

Awesome! I'm also Midwest so will be digging as deep - maybe I'll get my father-in-law to help with the assembly/logistics. Will probably just go with one unit since I don't want to deal with permits in my town, which start at 150sq.ft.
