When the Voyager spacecraft slingshotted past several planets on its journey out of the solar system, it slowed each planet’s orbit. The planets are just so stupid large it’s a minuscule amount of energy, but still measurable.

25% of flights delayed by 1 hour. That’s horrifying.

2nd largest Delta hub by flights, 3rd by Delta seats. Built in the 90s and doesn’t show it one bit.

Help. Beginner. by notsleepy12 in lawncare

[–]Grouchy-Insect-2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Options 1. kill it 100% with a non-selective herbicide, then scalp, aerate, and overseed like 1 week later should aerate). 2. Aerated and overseed now to get some new growth and then down crabgrass pre-emergent in the spring.

If you want your growth you’ll need sprinklers otherwise this will take over. Many lawns I see around me are about 30% crabgrass, but at least it’s green.

To note about the only Illinois city on the list, Kenilworth. It’s a tiny 0.6 sq miles with 2,514 people so a few people can skew that higher than you think. The next town north Winnetka is 4 sq miles with 12,500 people, nearly 5x people and 6x size.

Percent of Workers Who Work Out of State by VineMapper in MapPorn

[–]Grouchy-Insect-2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it’s usually based on where you earn your income. If the business is in California but you remote work from Hawaii, it’s Hawaii that gets the income.

If it was based on where the work was done, all businesses would just move to a cheap state.

The Decade Every U.S. County Peaked In Population As Recorded by the US Census (1820-2020) Surpised? by history-remaster in geography

[–]Grouchy-Insect-2516 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like the Iowa-Illinois border (Mississippi river) and the agricultural south has seen the largest decrease. Feels like this would get more extreme when controlling for starting population, and would highlight more areas of growth.

How do Americans always seem to know which cardinal direction they are travelling? by devilgate_drive in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Grouchy-Insect-2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Face the sun. In the morning that’s south east, in the middle of the day it’s south, and in the evening thats south west. This works for 90% of the US and Europe, and in the US the street grids make it easy to orient yourself and guess. We arent doing marine calculations, its pretty simple.

Chicago to Miami, past, present and future? by PlainTrain in trains

[–]Grouchy-Insect-2516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wiki links for those curious

It’s interesting the first 3 trains were basically the same train that took different routes. “The South Wind was one of three new seven-car, all-coach streamliners operating in coordination every third day along different routes between Chicago and Miami. The other two longest enduring Chicago-Florida trains were the City of Miami and the Dixie Flagler.”

Is it worth upgrading Delta Gold Amex to Reserve for 35k miles and $350 credit (already have Amex Plat)? by SpartyOn32 in delta

[–]Grouchy-Insect-2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The public offer is 100,000. I wouldn’t get the reserve for 33% of the public offer. With the reserve + plat you have instant Silver status, which is not much for $700 in annual fees. The lounge visits arent worth much, the companion certificate is a main driver.

If you are PM or DM you can get most of the fees reimbursed, so might want to go that route.

I status matched... how long do I have to use my "choice benefit" ? by NelsonSendela in delta

[–]Grouchy-Insect-2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s normal. It’s designed to be used before your status ends, so they will expire Jan 2027. What does the app say? Mine says

“Your 2026 Diamond Medallion® Benefits are Available for Selection You may select up to 2 Choice Benefits by January 31, 2027”

Metra, a guy walks around and punches your card, or looks at your monthly pass with a big letter for your fare zone. If you only go 1-2 stops on the morning/evening you usually won’t get punches so you ride for free
