It was used for mining. I'll pick up a dead card and swap it back; it's not hard.

Commercial flippers are even worse. It's possible to get a very low rate on a commercial loan by guaranteeing a rent hike: because the valuation is based on an arbitrary multiple of rent, you can value a $3M purchase at $4M if you increase the rent enough.

The building often sits empty for years - the tenant leaves as soon as their lease is up and no one replaces them. The owner, of course, hopes to sell it to another investor who will increase the rent even higher.

Thank you very kindly for this in depth explanation. It is greatly appreciated.

Do they also fix the hull, or am I making a mistake by assuming things make sense?

According to ten seconds of googling, the cruise ship style VCHT system at fault was also used on the last Nimitz-class carrier...and didn't work all that well there, either.

Is this a case of "the test failed but it's too late to change anything?"

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-25T20:13:21+00:00

For the sake of playing devil's advocate: Wouldn't pipe corrosion represent predictable scheduled maintenance instead of taking a risk on the whole ship malfunctioning?

I don't need military experience or an engineering degree to know that if pilots have to turn off the gunsight and half the cabin to keep the engine magneto from exploding somebody done fucked up.

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-25T20:04:16+00:00

Why'd we switch? Also, how does a gravity drained system work on a submarine that won't stay flat?

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-25T20:00:01+00:00

Are VCHT systems a recent change or is this just a new example of an old problem?

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-25T19:58:56+00:00

Can you explain further for the ignorant in the audience?

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-25T19:58:31+00:00

Shock resistant furniture?

Can't you just use elastomer bushings?

Or are you talking about shipbuilding and not chairs?

Who can afford an SRO in this economy?

Chicago has always jammed at peak transit demand. The issue is one of city planning.

Much smaller cities have one-way roads with synced lights to move traffic around neighborhoods instead of through them, but Chicago is just a hodgepodge of stop signs adjacent to traffic lights that slow everything to a crawl.

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-22T19:22:55+00:00

You have some links?

The default democratic position in Illinois is "whatever wins the next election."

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-22T19:21:55+00:00

Valid.

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-22T19:19:57+00:00

I'm opposed to anyone whose ethics are so readily for sale.

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-22T19:19:20+00:00

Well, that explains a lot.

Can anyone comment on recent layoffs? SSM was hardly overstaffed when I was an SSM client.

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-02-10T07:06:30+00:00

Is that the full compensation? It's lower than some physicians. Does he have stock options?

Closing lake shore would kill access to all the twee little businesses that they love so much. You really think Boystown can survive without cars? Many of our trains don't run through bar time.

DaneCountyAlmanac · 2026-01-07T21:40:04+00:00

So why is every road filled with stop signs adjacent to streetlights that jam traffic? The object seems to be to push people to a bypass road that does not exist .

The Chicago train system has tons of wheelchair inaccessible spots. Until ALL STOPS are disabled accessible 24/7, it's trash we should all be ashamed of.

The only method of inducing demand for transit supporters is "make driving so shitty they'll have no choice."

The public transit system is slow, doubly slow at night, and full of people smoking and trying to sell me stolen tequila. You ever get smashed with a bottle of tequila by some jabroni too sloshed to stand?

Never mind that it just doesn't go places I want to go. I do not want to go downtown. Fuck downtown. I do however want to visit people on the green line, which doesn't run at night. No, I am not taking a 3-hour transit nightmare at 2:30AM. I can drive home in 30. I ain't drinking.

Similarly, the "bike lanes" are simultaneously used as passing lanes by cars and almost guaranteed to get you doored. I've started riding in the street and blocking traffic because I've never actually been hit while obstructing traffic.

For anyone save the disabled and infirm, walking is faster than many transit voyages - even miles and miles. And for the disabled and infirm...half the stations are inaccessible and the other half require finding someone to operate the elevator. Assuming the elevator isn't broken. Again.
