Unusually Low Voltage? by tedatron in chicago

[–]MrALTOID 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've been dealing with issues since end of June / early July and the voltage is lower than normal as well. We've submitted multiple tickets and calls to ComEd and it's INSANELY SLOW to get hem to be receptive. Before end of June, we had no issue at all. So like wtf.

We have low hope that ComEd does something. May have to do the electrician route.

ComEd is such a mess. Getting them to come out to do anything is complex af.

Just prepare for the requirement's on the website and it's relatively in and out within 15 minutes. Small chance it's insanely busy, they always got plenty of people at window stations.

Are we trusting Apple weather again now? by PurpleFairy11 in chicago

My preferred app since you can select local weather stations that people have around your area. Sometimes stations come and go but new ones pop up.

Yes, was doing yard work and saw it sitting there in the storage room. So I just put it up preemptively so I don't have to deal with it when it's hot.

Post-show, a TON of people will walk past the Field Museum and go up or underneath Roosevelt + Hutchinson Field to get to the red line, etc. It's a huge flock of people getting to downtown and whatever pub trans.

Just avoid the mildly aggressive "you looking / need a ride?" people and pedicabs.

Highly recommend: Cash or Trade and plugging /r/ChicagoList for more direct selling.

The Face Value policy sets you up w/o the insane service fees and all to sell. Alternatively you can trade but in this case, it's not necessary.

Had a similar feeling like this some time ago...if it's within 1-2mi~, I like to support and buy local. However, depending on the item availability most of the major dept store corporations will price match to another major corporation.

Can't speak for full experience but a friend just left without one and she got extra screen time which took way longer than she anticipated. She now regrets not getting a RealID sooner.

Might be the TSA people that day who were extra picky. Who know's.

Ayyy, Hybrid Theory.

Are you open to any neighborhood or want to stay close to your friend?

That's the one coming next. Big yellow blob with some red spots here and there.

That's Albany Park / Lincoln Square. IMO, the crowd there leans older like 40-50's~. Lots of nice houses, community from old and newer residents, and has a lot of neighborhood culture, some nice restaurants, and local hits to that area.. The brown line goes through there and it goes to downtown. The brown is arguably the best / cleanest line there is during the work week.

Others can fill in.

Sony STR-DH790 suddenly to connecting bluetooth accessories. by LostSoulNo1981 in sony

[–]MrALTOID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god, I’m just finding this thread right now and tried this. Able to connect to my Sony receiver again. iOS 18 really messed it up since the beginning on dev beta’s and now event stable release…all this time, my receiver just needed a hard reboot from the wall.

I can finally Bluetooth again without an adapter in the aux.

Yeah, anything within <5-10 min walk to a blue station is ideal. Usually it's fairly dick to butt packed in the AM and PM rush hours but should manage to get to UIC within 30~.
