I'm told the Italian beef (sandwich) is the true signature dish of Chicago. Al's Beef and Portillo's seem to be mentioned the most. I'd go to Al's.

The Highland Park wiki page addresses that. It was like the OG suburb/development. They tried to have Dallas annex them, but Dallas said no. Years later, after the Highland Park development proved successful and Dallas had continued to expand around them, Dallas tried to annex them, but they flipped Dallas the bird.

They are cities within the city. Completely encapsulated within Dallas. Now look up the definition of suburban and try to square that circle. (I also notice you deleted your post.)

The appropriate response is a “rock chalk” right back.

I don't think there's anything in him not endorsing yet. He also slow played Hilary in 16 and Biden in 20. It's only been a couple of hours and it's probably prudent for him not to endorse just a couple of hours into this process.
Sidenote, I really truly hope she doesn't pick Newsom. I would prefer Whitmer or Shapiro, probably not going to be either, but it can't be Newsom, which means it probably will be.

Kind of disrespectful to call a WWII memorial to fallen soldiers a cell tower.

« on: July 19, 2024, 10:32:52 AM »What graduate degree?I mean, assuming she's talking about the same group of people, then, maybe? i think there were quite a few WWII vets in Korea.Storming normandy and facing down communism aren't mutually exclusive.
there were zero communists on the beaches at Normandy. So she means like later in life they faced down communism in the cold war?
I think more probably she was using "heroes" as a category of people, some of whom did different things at different times. E.g. "American soldiers are brave! They fought the barbary pirates and killed osama bin laden."
All that to say, i don't think this lady with a graduate degree meant that the people storming normandy did so to fight communism.

If he was missing a chunk of ear, the political value of that would be too much for him to avoid showing it off. The more grizzled the better. If he showed of something that looks like a slight cut, ppl may have significantly less sympathy for him than they do now. He is allowing those with sympathy to fill in the Knowles gap with their imagination, which is probably much worse than the actual injury, I would bet.

« on: July 18, 2024, 10:58:53 AM »I will make an exception for foreign language equivalents.Not sure it goes ITT but have we discussed the weird names boomer/elder GenX grandparents are going by these days? In my day you called your grandparent something like "Grandpa/grandma [insert last name]" or "Grandpa/grandma [insert first name]" for something super informal. These days, grandparents seem to go by whatever the first vocalization their grandchild makes in their direction. I don't like it.
I really hate this. In Oklahoma I’ve heard about a lot of first time grandmas getting to pick their grandma name.

« on: July 17, 2024, 02:17:34 PM »Well of course everyone wants a sprawling estate wherever they live, but it’s not feasible some places. I reread your message and noted that you merely referred to a preference, not feasibility.Yeah maybe it's preferable to raise kids in a more confined space.How about NYC?There is no region of the country where that sentiment does not hold true for the majority of people.It's kind of hard to raise kids in an apartment I'd think.I personally don't think raising kids is that expensive right now
The biggest issue is probably housing costs. It's a lot harder for one parent to stay home than it used to be. Everyone pays that, though, so it's not really a "cost of having kids" thing.
