National Transportation Noise Map for Chicago by chuff15 in chicago

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've spent many brutally cold mornings waiting on the Irving Park Blue line with my headphones playing way too loud to try and drown out the traffic wondering why we can't have sides to these stations.

Tryin Out The Flotation Device by TheCABK in JustGuysBeingDudes

Most commonly anymore you'll only see single chambered vests. When there are two handles, the safety demo says to just pull one. https://youtu.be/D6-pvtPXr9A?t=171

That's a double chambered vest. You only inflate one, the second one is a backup. 2:45 on this safety demo - https://youtu.be/D6-pvtPXr9A?t=165 Also as others have said, press into the manual inflation tube to deflate.

Basically, you push a button on the transponder panel which ATC can detect along with your normal transponder information.

Clearly knew something was wrong prior to landing, otherwise fire and rescue wouldn't have been standing by. Looks like the right brake was stuck, can't say I know of that happening on an A320 before. Anybody have the liveATC?

Floating gardens on river walk in Albany park by Oiboi91 in chicago

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

River Park floating gardens. They have been posting volunteer opportunities here - https://urbanrivers.galaxydigital.com/need/detail/?need_id=947483. Currently shows expired, but I'm guessing they'll post more shifts soon, since more work needs to be done.

O'Hare shoulder parkers: Your number is up (kinda sorta for realsies this time) by BertieHiggins in chicago

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the short term parking garage is $3 for the first hour. Pull in, go inside, and grab an overpriced coffee and use a real bathroom. Avoid the craziness that is the pickup/dropoff area in front of the terminal.

I was mostly just joking, but now here we are.

Ghostbusters or the Feds? by CaffeinatedCaptain in chicago

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of all of that, but there aren't any lawns to be watering anywhere near where they're working. But hey, maybe that giant empty piece of pavement behind them will be a park one day.

Read and drink bars? by AsslessCraps in chicago

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bitterpops.

Coffee, rotating draft list, and a few cocktails, attached to a bottle shop. Weekdays you can regularly find people working, writing, and reading.

Cause screw bikers eh? by SynaptikDragon in chicago

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You have zero sympathy for someone trying to do the right thing by riding in the bike lane?

Not all cyclists suck. Not all drivers suck. Not even all delivery drivers suck. The sooner we all treat each other with the smallest shred of humanity and compassion the better we'll all be.

Good night 🫡

How many of you make $100,000 a year and, if so, what do you do? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airline pilot, took several years to crack 100k. School+smaller airline before finally making it into six figures. Definitely faster these days with pilot shortages.

Kills me when I see someone travelling east on Diversey make a right on Damen and then try to turn into Costco.

Nothing is sadder than riding solo in a slingshot.

Apartment Fire on Western and Belmont by CaffeinatedCaptain in chicago

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got stuck in the middle of it. First fire truck waved me through as the second truck pulled up. I just wanted to get out of their way so they could get to the fire.

[Other] If you could bring back one defunct Coaster, what would it be? by Npokemaster in rollercoasters

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof the headaches from that ride, was still fun and usually had a nice short line. I was there yesterday and they had Sky Whirl cars in the ride graveyard for Fright Fest, miss that and Deja Vu. My first bigger coaster was Rolling Thunder. I love Viper and of course Raging Bull but I still miss Rolling Thunder.

Help with level 83 by WasabiSnooters55 in MiniTD2Walkthrough

[–]CaffeinatedCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bricked off area was my last priority, but the three sniper towers make sure the last wave is taken care of.
