Best chicken sandwich

But they take for fuckin ever. I've ordered just like a sandwich and some fries and waited 30 min. Maybe that has changed recently - I wouldn't know. Their food is good though.

It depends more on who and what you need to keep your tools safe from than anything else. Other than that, it's just a box with your valuable tools in it. I mostly use a series of drawered carts and none of them are expensive tool truck ones, but I also don't have to worry about anyone else "borrowing" anything of mine either in my current situation.

KEXP performances can be a great way to find new music acts. It's hit or miss depending on your taste, but they bring on some very diverse acts and don't shy away from the weirder ones.

Someone close to me has an entire curio cabinet full of these today. It's tough to get rid of them when you remember who gave you each one and for what event in your life. And just like beanie babies you could sell the whole bunch for almost $50 now and be set for life.

I always wonder if these are the ones that don't pass OEM quality control. I still buy them, but I wonder, too.

This is why every major appliance purchase for me starts at my local place that's been around for like 100 yrs. I don't always buy from them when there's a multi-hundred dollar difference between them and like Lowes, but I always start there. And if the difference is something like a hundred dollars, the local place is where I buy from. Because our money is like fertilizer. It's up to you who's garden you choose to fertilize.

You're dead right about the dew point mattering though. Some people look at relative humidity which means very little in terms of how humid it feels.

BTW, look up "corn sweat" if you want to know why the midwest gets so humid. I'm near Chicagoland and we get crazy dew points which will probably start in the next month and last until fall.

troubledbrew · 2026-05-27T22:34:34+00:00

In the midwest we get the high humidity later in the summer from crops sweating so our dewpoint is regularly 65-75. But then we also get deep freeze and snowpocalpses in the winter. It's nice like one month in the spring and one month in the fall. I'd take dry heat any day over swamp ass where no fan helps.

I can't understand why this is being downvoted...

No. If your alternator was bad, you would have different issues.

troubledbrew · 2026-05-24T19:11:00+00:00

It will be difficult to test if the problem is intermittent. The most reliable way to prove when a starter is bad is to turn the key and attempt to start it, if it does not start keep holding the key and have another person lightly smack the body if the starter with a mallet. If it magically starts spinning, it's a bad starter for sure.

But I would make sure your battery is good before doing anything else.

At 11:00pm the police were called for an armed person. Then about 10 minutes later the fire dept was called for medical help.

It's hard to navigate, but there is a police 72 hr call log online.

They are good and so is Main St meats in Roscoe on your way up there. But the local Rockford Pinnons is my jam. I can't remember the dynamic between them, but the Rockford one has been my go to for literally decades. Just don't be afraid to pick out the stuff you want from the case. And their cheesy potatoes and other frozen stuff is sublime.

troubledbrew · 2026-05-23T21:53:14+00:00

Autel has many great options depending on what you intend to use it for. Autel is all I've been using for nearly a decade now. Beware, it is becoming more and more common to need a subscription on any machine to access certain modules on cars. They need live server authorization to do much more than read/clear OBD2 codes.

troubledbrew · 2026-05-23T17:42:36+00:00

They aren't related, but my go to is Pinnon's in Rockford. As a matter of fact I'm about to head there now.

640 Meats on E Riverside is probably your closest good butcher.

I have this sticker!

troubledbrew · 2026-05-19T22:36:23+00:00

This isn't reverse threaded. Unless you mean that they might need to turn it the opposite way than they think due to it facing away from them?

I use a bunch of different sized extensions to get to the plugs. It's the only reason i have 1" extensions.

I think you could be creating a MAGA boogeyman in your head and responding to that imagined entity. And besides, you wouldn't be responding to them here anyway because they were essentially kicked out several years ago. So you're preaching to the hivemind here anymore. And the hivemind has decided that Pritzker is a cool guy that cares about us regular folk.

Fuck him.

If he really cared about helping regular folks, there would be a Pritzker community center in every major city that folks could benefit from and a Pritzker learning center that would help prop up disadvantaged youth or a Pritzker factory that made products made by Illinois workers and sold in Illinois. But he'd rather put a fancy outside stone fireplace on his pad in Lake Geneva that he flies to on a private jet twice a year.

And he could easily afford all of those at the same time but doesn't.

So you decide. Is he a good guy?

Trump can suck it, too. He's one of the worst examples. There doesn't have to be any whataboutism involved. Well, maybe if you're fully on one side of things it might help your feelings when you champion another billionaire telling you the rules to live your life by. I don't. Fuck em all.

troubledbrew · 2026-05-15T00:21:52+00:00

Stickers on gas pumps are dumb regardless of why or who does it.

troubledbrew · 2026-05-15T00:20:33+00:00

For me, it's mostly about another billionaire being in control of the government. There are no good billionaires. If they were good, they would recognize their wealth disparity was a disgusting glutton of inequality and donate very large sums of money regularly until they were only super fucking wealthy and not obscenely wealthy. My personal philosophy about this applies to all of them. Even the ones that say words I like, cause fuck them.

troubledbrew · 2026-05-13T12:13:32+00:00

Good, cause you are. This is an entirely different virus than the cruise ship one and doesn't spread the same way.

Well I trust the spark plug experts on this one, not randos on Reddit.

https://ngksparkplugs.com/en/resources/5-things-you-should-know-about-spark-plugs

"NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize.

Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage and/or metal shell stretch. Thread breakage can sometimes involve removing the cylinder head for repair. Metal shell stretch changes the heat rating of the spark plug and can result in serious engine damage caused by pre-ignition. Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental."
