The best card game to play while drinking a beer, Cribbage.
The best card game with weird jack rules, Cribbage.
The best card game with a board, Cribbage.

We'll have boards and cards, and I'll be teaching the game to anyone who wants to learn.

The Chicago Sky say they are committed accountability in their program. They're going to love how committed Chicagoans are to sticking it to people in power who overreach their authority, especially those who retaliate against the workers.

Cool idea but that is too sacred an event to mess with. I like how they handled it.

Josh Naylor going to the place where it rains Hot Dogs from Heaven just makes sense. Take care of this gem of a Guardians alum, Seattle Mariners.

Dentology is Match.com for dentistry. You go in hopeful and leave disappointed as you navigate a revolving door of practitioners while the brand does it best to make it feel like the best experience you could have is there.

No no no, just for the day. And maybe they've since patched it. but combinations don't change.

The overly clever and particular attention to details safes, in my experience. A mechanic to accelerate your exploration - if you put in a combo and hit enter and the safe doesn't open, you can hit clear and try another combo. It won't lock you out until you zoom out from the safe.

One of them will feel painfully obvious, one of them will be mildly frustrating, one of them will feel overly clever, and the other requires a particular attention to detail.

If you found the safe you found the combo. ;)

Start tracking threads, there are many. Get a sense for which ones you can pull based on your drafts. If you try to grab at something it will elude you. Flow with the building. Be curious and experiment.

And whoever told you to play, delete them from your phone, your will, and your life. Good luck

Avondale? The better hot dog is across the street inside the Home Depot.

River North? Mr. Beef from The Bear fame is a short hop west. Line? Al's #1 is even closer.

South Loop? Shake it up and go to Manny's instead.

Portillo's is the Budweiser of Chicago street food.

Patrick Cosmos @veryimportant.lawyer · Feb 28

it brings me absolutely no joy to point out that portillo's is busting their own union and is one of the companies arguing that the nlrb is unconstitional. because i love their onion rings and i live two blocks from one
