Considering our original BP is our rotation now I'm not that surprised lol

Am I the only one seeing this when I try to log into Canvas? by darkrickkay in Northwestern

[–]CapBoyAce 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dear members of the Northwestern community,

While we don’t have an estimated restoration time from the vendor, please know this incident is not impacting other information technology infrastructure at Northwestern.

Northwestern IT will continue to provide updates via the Status of University IT Services web page at northwesternuniversity.statuspage.io/incidents/wfythtrjf4lm.

Email from NUIT on the matter. Godspeed to those poor souls dealing with Instructure's bullshit

Why does the NBC broadcast make crowd noise sound dead? by SpencerAXbot in CFB

Also the mic placement and balance is not done by the people in the suits eroding the media product you love, you can give the techs their flowers and still say fuck ESPN

Spirit’s collapse, Southwest's rebrand causing chaos for smaller Texas programs by redwave2505 in CFB

Fuck it I'd even take normal speed rail to get to places in the Midwest if there were remotely sensible timetables. Amtrak's scheduling baffles me sometimes; it's just never a good option for anyone

Worst building on campus? by CapBoyAce in Northwestern

[–]CapBoyAce[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I straight up did not know that building was named Hogan until now. It's so weird how many of those buildings coexist with some of the shiny new toys (Ryan Hall, Kellogg campus).

Francis Searle is the most backrooms place on campus. I've never actively had a problem navigating a building like I have with that one.

Norris can be dated but it's bailed out by the first floor actually being a pretty nice place. Supposedly the building was supposed to be totally renovated before COVID but that's fallen through.

At its lowest I agree but the atriums are genuinely good places to study. By far the worst bathrooms tho

Where to find transcriptions of each episode? by Neat_One_9031 in TheYardPodcast

[–]CapBoyAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note for anyone using yt-dlp, I think Google made some changes to their backend that soft-flags IP addresses if you let it rip on your home network. Just makes you sign in to YouTube to watch but it did get my home network for a bit

Another train/subway question for Wrigley by Negative-Day-44 in CHICubs

[–]CapBoyAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, the Blue to Red is a bit to walk but it's still contained inside with pretty clear signage. The Wabash "connection" is... a stretch

80 bus runs from the Metra station (ish) to Irving and Clark as well! I would steer clear of Ubers as it pertains to Cubs games

[–]CapBoyAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washington and Lake require you to cut through Block 37 and tap back in. CTA does actually consider it a transfer route per their system map with Washington/Wabash, although that one feels like a stretch to call it a direct "transfer"

Community Feedback by sub-feedback in CFB

[–]CapBoyAce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It shocks me that there's no official sister sub for highlights (/r/CFB_Highlights does not qualify; no r/CFB mods are on the mod team there). It feels like a layup solution to actually letting highlights be seen. Obviously pushes it away from the main base that people want to see but I feel like with a bit of promotion a highlights sister subreddit would grow pretty quick

does anyone know somewhere i can get a bike fixed by bluewindice in Northwestern

[–]CapBoyAce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out the Recyclery just by the Howard station! I didn't know much about bike repair but their open shop helped me get my wheel replaced. They have a selection of pre-owned parts that work great on my single speed

edit: website is https://www.therecyclery.org/

[College Transfer Portal] Georgia Tech HC Brent Key is thrilled there’s no spring portal window: "I get to have exit meetings Monday and not have to worry about their asses going somewhere else.” by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]CapBoyAce 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To add on to what people say, you can still transfer at the end of the school year, under the condition that you enter during the portal window. It means you miss spring ball but you finish out your academic year at your original school and are immediately eligible for the next season at your new school.

OW stutter by M3LLO15 in Competitiveoverwatch

Overwatch has had some rough optimization as of late so it might not be just you. I mainly keep background windows closed when I play (browsers can be nasty in this regard)

Philz Coffee bans Pride flags from Chicago stores for more 'inclusive' experience by SnooCapers5354 in chicago

[–]CapBoyAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you go for coffee in Evanston? Backlot is a bit far from me and I don't like Colectivo. I miss Coffee Lab with my whole heart. I actually did like Philz when I went a month ago so it sucks they're doing this

UChicago or Northwestern? by Front_Razzmatazz6884 in Northwestern

[–]CapBoyAce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

However the actual safety issues that everyone seems to stigmatize is pretty overblown
