    OT: Chicago Bears moving to Indiana??!!

    As someone who lives in Chicago and my company sells product to soldier field let me add my two cents. The team and the people out here don't really want the team to move, it's all posturing for $$. One of the biggest issues is the stadium is owned by the city and the Bears pay 50% of every...

    OT: Caribbean Vacation

    +1 on Grand Cayman, went there on my honeymoon (2019) we loved it. Felt safe, good food. Beautiful beaches etc. We flew nonstop from Chicago which is also nice. Smaller islands you often need to connect.

    OT: 2024 NY Giants Season Thread

    I think you guys are discounting that team can also just draft a back up/ project QB for very cost controlled contract. Devito makes like under 1m, yes he is terrible, but a back up QB is 5m+ currently.

    OT: 2024 Atlantic Tropical Forecasts: CSU/NHC Say Very Active Season; Rafael to Weaken to a TS before coming close to the Northern GOM

    They dialed the surge back in Tampa to 8-12 but that would still break the record from a few weeks back. We have heard the Dunes in Long Boat Key have been decimated so I am curious how that will factor in as well.

    OT: 2024 Atlantic Tropical Forecasts: CSU/NHC Say Very Active Season; Rafael to Weaken to a TS before coming close to the Northern GOM

    I can't get over how fast this storm developed and the path it could take. If it comes in with that NE quadrant hitting TB I can only imagine the damage. We vacation to Long Boat Key in the spring and the rental we stayed in got 3-4 feet with the last storm. The island going to get crushed with...

    OT: America's Fight Over Tipping at Restaurants Comes to Its Biggest Battleground Yet

    Having been a bartender in Chicago I still thinking tipping in a terrible system. Servers made like 4/hr and barbacks made 8/hr. This was ~2014. Was actually kind of absurd how much money we'd make on a Friday/ Saturday night though.

    OT: Messi Magic

    He is old, but by no means is he washed up. He easily could've played in other top leagues. His wages and needing the correct system are prohibitive. I also think he is getting in at the ground level in the MLS to make big big money.

    OT: Recumbent exercise bike and treadmill

    I bought it used. The guy disassembled it for me and I put it together at my house. It was super easy to do. Just heavy as hell to move.

    OT: Recumbent exercise bike and treadmill

    I bought a sole f63 this past year and am extremely happy with it. I did not need/want any of the apps etc, just a sturdy, reliable machine I could run on that could go to 12mph.

    Northwestern/Chicago Trip

    The easiest play is stay off the red/ purple south of belmont. Old town is prob a good call. Lots of bars/ restaurants/ second city and right off the water/ parks.

    Northwestern/Chicago Trip

    Generally speaking bars are open until 2am or 4am Fridays. Then they get a bonus hour on Saturdays. What area you going out in?

    Northwestern/Chicago Trip

    As a guy who has been out here for a decade. This is a damn good list. My favorite sandwich is a place near chinatown called Riccobenes, they have a bread steak sandwich thats freaking awesome. Prob one of my fave things to eat in the city. Chicago is also known for our dogs, almost weird to...
