Most of my guns are back at my parents' house in Atlanta. I didn't bring any with me when I moved to the Chicago No Fun Zone, and only made one trip back to bring up some handguns once I got my FOID. Now I'm moving to Manhattan, so I get to go through the SAME PROCESS BUT WORSE!!!!!!

Applebees Appetizer posted:Looks good, although closest one is 2 hours away in Orlando. Yeah, they're pretty good. They make a good cheeseburger with nothing fancy. If you want to clog your arteries, get a cheeseburger, some fried cheese curds, and a custard.

Yeah, dark meat is juicier and more flavorful, just like rare - med-rare steak.

Steak chat: I'm too afraid of setting off the smoke alarm in the high-rise where I live to cook a steak properly. I've tried on the gas grills we have on the roof deck, but I haven't been able to make a really good sear yet. Shave chat: I dislike shaving. I used a safety razor for about a year; it was okay but nothing fantastic. My wife got me a Braun electric shaver that self-cleans, and I like that more, but I started growing a goatee just so I could get away with avoiding shaving more than once every couple of weeks.

scuz posted:Next class is April 1st! $125, well worth it, in my opinion. The guy that teaches the class primarily does artwork and whatever but welding's welding and he was a quality instructor. Use that money to come to Chicago and learn for free every Thursday evening at the South Side Hackerspace.

Workshop 88 is out in Glen Ellyn (about 50 miles from you), and Milwaukee Makerspace is up in Milwaukee (about 50 miles from you). Pumping Station One is on the north side of Chicago, about 40 miles from you, but they've gotten too big and their culture's kinda suffered if you ask me. e. I guess what I'm saying is, just rent yourself a little crashpad in Bridgeport. Safety Dance fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Mar 6, 2017 |

The Little Mermaid, with my grandmother. My mom tells me that Grandma pretended to be frightened at some of the Ursula scenes, and I (who couldn't have been older than 2) reassured her that it was just a movie.

I wrote a lot of code on whiteboards using dying markers, and they gave me a coffee mug as a lovely parting gift. I'll know how I did next week. Also, this fuckin' egg roll is the size of a burrito.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:So, uh, how hard is it to learn stick? If I bought a Focus RS or Civic R with no manual experience would I just gently caress up the car and cost myself a ton of money? Where are you? AI has clapped out stick shift vehicles all over the country. I practiced a few times in my friend's Ford Probe before I bought my Mazdaspeed Protege -- only stalled it once driving home from the car lot.

The Door Frame posted:Any Chicago locals know about Southside Hacker Space?I remember them coming up in the chat thread a while ago, and some actual metalworking tools and actual experience wouldn't be unwelcome I've been on the board of directors for almost four years. We're pretty cool. We've got welders and grinders and saws and drills and such -- one of the community colleges keeps teasing us with a cheap Bridgeport mill, but I'm not holding my breath. freelop posted:Couple of pages late but I put another vote for Rascal in.
