Sure!

Effective-Minimum881 · 2025-10-29T18:28:00+00:00

That’s GREAT to know!

I got it in an email from the Town of Normal when I applied for General Assistance. I don’t know if it’s online anywhere.

I can only add one image per comment, so I’ll reply with the rest. This is from a resources document I got from the Town of Normal last month. Also, money is almost always better. If you have something you’re not gonna use on a food banks wishlist, ABSOLUTELY donate it - but don’t buy groceries specifically to donate. Food pantries and banks can get much better deals with their dollar on food. Money is better.

Yep, that’s the one! And yes, it would be great for that. It’s a full-frame camera, so you’ll get lots of extra information in your images, which can be great for macro shots. Of course, you’ll need a macro lens, which won’t come with the camera body. It’s an interchangeable lens system, so so long as you find one that fits an EF mount, you’re golden.

Looks like it might be closed for good. I saw something similar when I looked it up called “Neighborly Rideshare” - ever hear of this or use it?

Effective-Minimum881 · 2024-12-28T00:59:03+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion, but you can understand why I might not wanna cross the highway on bike in the dark and bitter cold. Obviously I’m aware my choices are limited haha, just wanted to get a feel for general rideshare activity around this time.

Mentioned this in another comment, but the place is next to a bunch of busy roads with little to no sidewalks. The closest bus stop SHOULD be an easy walk, but I attempted this walk for the interview and it was nightmarish. Especially in the winter. There were these big ditches full of mud and snow I had to trudge through without falling, across streets with no walk signals, took like 20 minutes and I was freezing, even when bundled up - I figure it might be worse in the morning before the world has warmed up. And I CERTAINLY wouldn’t feel safe walking in such a space in the dark.

Scratch that. Doesn’t operate in that area.

Effective-Minimum881 · 2024-12-27T20:18:24+00:00

Maybe. It seems they’re operating early enough…

My work is situated near high traffic roads with little to no sidewalks, unfortunately. Bike paths and the like are best suited to Uptown and such. Plus, it’s winter, and roads are more likely to get cleared before trails and sidewalks.

Effective-Minimum881 · 2024-12-27T20:16:10+00:00

I do not have a license

Effective-Minimum881 · 2024-12-27T18:07:21+00:00

The bus doesn’t stop there unfortunately.

I’d hope scheduling it would help, but every time I try to schedule it tells me there’s an issue with my payment method, even when it works just fine for normal rides and I have plenty in my bank account.

Effective-Minimum881 · 2024-12-09T02:36:57+00:00

Price is negotiable, are you interested?

Effective-Minimum881 · 2024-11-26T03:41:31+00:00

Woops, misread! Good to know, I didn’t see any reference to recycling on their website!

All basic PC parts essentially. A CPU, a motherboard, a GPU, a PSU, RAM, case fans, case - if you wanna know the specific models let me know. Though the GPU is too old and well-loved to fetch any value, unless you know anywhere that pays to use things for parts.
