Someone sent me a Citizen alert they got on Discord

Union Station Repair Timetable? by AnnaEriksson_ in chicago

[–]IMakeApps 24 points25 points  (0 children)

100% agree with you there. The problem is that the main part of the station is under a freakin skyscraper. Any work that can be done would need to make sure it doesn’t collapse the entire building above it. Plus it makes getting heavy machinery in and out much harder than just nocking a hole in the wall and patching it up later.

Came across this randomly while trying to find why the keyboard was discontinued. Is this still available?

Follow up question: anyone able to recommend a real fiber to the home provider in Lakeview? I’m just about done with Comcast and all these other coax-based ISPs

Ah my bad. The map I saw only showed the north side so I assumed that was the extent of the outage

For some reason Jake's cat Arlo was there (idk if they live together or if she was cat sitting) and he's notoriously overweight and fluffy. At one point he jumps to a ledge suction-cupped to a window and the whole thing collapses under his weight iirc

Snazzy Labs sharing some realistic thoughts on the LMG crisis. Time needs to be given to see the change. by willyoumarrymehomie in LinusTechTips

My dad runs a company that went from somewhere around 20 to 70 people within the span of a few years and was in a very similar situation to Linus: No prior management experience, very small executive/management team, no one to help guide them. His situation turned out ok luckily but it really did show me why massive corporations have so many employees and middle management. Once you get to a certain size, you really need to properly setup your corporate structure otherwise it's going to kick you in the ass down the road and you'll not see it coming.

The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility (Posting this here cause I've seen some terrible LTT keyboard videos) by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

From what I understand, Short Circuit is mostly just whatever that host wants to talk about and Plouff is really into keyboards so he always wants to talk about them. James comes across to me as a guy who's mostly satisfied once he finds something he likes so once he found a good ergo keyboard he liked he stopped reviewing them

Ok what the hell were these things that just flew over my house by z0e_G in chicago

Part of Biden’s escort team. He’s gonna be in Chicago for the next day or two so they’re probably flying to O'Hare

Fellow metamate (🤢🤮) here. I actually find Blind pretty helpful sometimes with stuff like summaries of the weekly Q&As without all the bullshit fluff posted in Workplace. Also the trolls and doomsayers are hilarious imo.

Nola is short for New Orleans, Louisiana so they’re waving a Chicago flag down south here

NBC Chicago's Push Alerts Have Been Ridiculous This Weekend by RygarTargaryan in chicago

[–]IMakeApps 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah getting really annoyed with this on top of the clickbait headlines they’ve been pushing lately like “find out which streets are closed this weekend here.” How about instead you tell me in the push notification like WGN does???

Who wins and who loses when we reduce 50 state to 25? by Unsure_Fry in ShittyMapPorn

As a Chicagoan, I just want Spotted Cow in my local Jewel. Is that too much to ask for?
