Fellow Bears fan here - yes to everything you said.

Is this the Sigma you’re looking at? - https://www.amazon.com/Sigma-17-50mm-Aperture-Standard-Digital/dp/B003A6NU3U/ref=pd_sim_421_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SKAQQN7VETSFN7FD4W70

What do you plan to do with it? The Nikkor lenses are amazing in every category, but image quality isn’t the main reason you’d buy one, mostly reliability. If you’re not on the clock, or not running around slamming your gear into things trying to get a shot, third party lenses are great. If I’m shooting anything for a…

As a photographer who makes a living using Nikon gear, HELLS YES TO THIS WHOLE ARGUMENT. Nikon pulled this same shit years ago, only giving parts and services to their “select” Nikon repair centers of which there are (I think) 22 across the country, and pulling service altogether for their pro DSLR bodies. If my 750…

Yep. CPD sends a detective to your house to look around, talk with anyone who lives with you, and they knock on the doors of at least three neighbors and ask about you.

Thank you for talking through that. It’s terrifying to me that officer jurisdiction is that fluid. I understand having more sway with local enforcement if you yourself are an officer, but I would hope that legally you are just like anyone else. I’m biased, though - I got all the way to the “home inspection/interview”…

Since you’re in the know here, mind if I ask you a question?

Everyone is already jumping in here, but I’ll add my two cents to your comment : none of what you listed is a surprise. It is everything he told us he was going to do in the timeline he promised to do it. It’s being reported on, perhaps not as voraciously as protests and his off-the-cuff dip-shittery, but it’s not as…

Four hours? It’s thirty minutes south, traffic depending.

So you live here, yes?

This! Right here!!!! I’d love a female president more than anything, but I really think the only way to pull enough mindless uneducated people in the right direction is by offering them Mitt Romney’s anti-matter. I also like his policies, so I guess that’s okay too.

I’ve been mumbling “So it goes” to myself at least twice a day for the past two months.

Hey, guess what’s impossible? Getting a screenshot in Steam with the overlay showing. My vague description will have to do.

Same here - I also mostly work from home and had the exact same idea about the Steam Link.

I got one last month when it went on sale (a Steam Link as well) after having a 360 pad for several years. I’m not a great reference, as I tend to play one game for months, but I don’t think I can go back to a regular controller now. Playing Fallout 4 with it is amazing (mostly). You do have to spend time setting it…

If the genre title “Space Asshole Simulator” doesn’t catch on now, I suppose it never will. Well played, Hamilton.

Edison Park is terrible. It’s really just the half of Park Ridge that is in the city limits and is populated entirely with WEALTHY white people. Jefferson Park severely lacks diversity, but I find poor white people to be much less insufferable than the wealthy ones. I say this as a poor white person, though I am…

We too had the “hey, why not Ravenswood?” talk with our realtor. It lasted about two minutes. We did get a lot more house for our money by moving to not just Jefferson Park, but the bottom corner of Jefferson Park, where it’s houses for blocks and blocks. And blocks. And they are too close together.

Nothing has ever lifted my spirits as much as “at least you didn’t move to Naperville.” Though I think Schaumburg might be worse.

Chicago is amazing as long as you don’t try to buy a house but can only afford something big enough for your two kids in the Jefferson Park neighborhood which is the whitest collection of white people on the planet and there are no good places to eat NOT THAT I’M BITTER OR ANYTHING.
