That worn head that kept slipping off the tack strip is the classic cheap tool trap, the savings just move somewhere else down the line. In my experience you rarely come out ahead, because the money you skip up front shows back up as lost hours or a do-over. Your mileage may vary, but a used tool with real wear is usually a bet you lose.

Two different answers from two different apps on the same question is wild to me. That means one of them is just making stuff up and neither one knows it. Testing them on facts you already know is the only way to catch it.

Saw a thing on WGN last week about how they're doing all this weekend track work on the Red Line north of Belmont, so that might be part of why you sat so long. Heard the construction is gonna drag into fall too, which is rough. A buddy of mine swears by hopping on the Brown at Southport after games, says it's a whole different world. Just watch out for those addison stops during rush hour.
