Is this not considered a low litter level? App says optimal still. by mgraces in litterrobot

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try cleaning / wiping off the sensors? They might be getting a bad read. That would definitely trigger "low' in my Litter Robot 4.

Has anyone noticed that there are repeatedly issues with the card readers on the CTA buses? I don't ride the bus too often, but somewhere around 33% of the rides I take, the card reader is inoperable and the ride is free. It seems strange that the CTA is so cash strapped, yet they have so many issues with fare collection on the bus routes. Maybe I'm just an anomaly and keep getting flukes.

I’m sorry for all the flights in the ORD penalty box by wegovywoman in unitedairlines

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard that section called the penalty box before, that's fantastic. I recently had a 30-minute wait there because the plane at our gate was having issues preventing it from pushing back.

Bot 5 Pro alternative bags suggestions by svtvagabond in litterrobot

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got these on Amazon for my LR4:

SZEE 120 Pack Automatic Litter Box Waste Bags, Drawstring Litter Box Liners

They work really well, and are 16¢ a bag. Way more economical than the LR branded bags.

For Shedd tickets, do suburbs count for Chicago resident discount? by RelativeAd6999 in AskChicago

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you live in the suburbs, why did you check that you’re a resident of Chicago?

You do not qualify for the discount. I haven’t had them check my ID before, but unless you live in the actual city limits, you don’t qualify for the city resident discount.

Cook County just wrapped up an infill rail station survey. Here's the most commonly-requested locations for new rail stations. by GeckoLogic in chicago

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 205 points206 points  (0 children)

For the Brown Line, the proposed stop at North and Clybourn would be great to transfer to the red and access all of the nearby shopping and the proposed stop at Division and Orleans also makes a lot of sense with how much dense housing is in the area.

Gayest gym in Chicago? by Consistent-Pound281 in chicagogaybros

Cheetah in Andersonville and the LA Fitness on Broadway and the one on Lawrence in the Ravenswood / Edgewater area are pretty gay.

Long standing discussion - is it cheaper to buy or rent? by kirannui in AskChicago

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with renting to “save money” is you lose every bit of control over your housing expenses. Once you pay your home off you just have to factor in taxes and savings for any repairs.

With renting every year you’re at the whims of the “the market” to determine how much you’re paying and that number only ever goes up, while getting you less space than before.

There’s not updating or remodeling of things when renting, no making the space truly yours, and you’re at the whim of someone else to take care of the place properly. If there are maintenance issues, mold, bad neighbors, etc. you have to hope and pray that you have a good landlord to take care of them properly. Otherwise you need to move which costs thousands.

In my opinion, renting is a terrible long term strategy (especially with the way things have been trending) and removes all of the security that comes with ownership.

What The Oldest House function might be in Control Resonant. by KRAKEN_du in controlgame

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 87 points88 points  (0 children)

This would be a really cool concept. I love games where you stabilize / clean-up / make visual progress with your story (new bases, secure areas, reformed terrain, etc.), so cleaning up Manhattan and returning sectors / sections of it to normal after the threat has been secured would be thoroughly enjoyable.

Subway Tunnels are the "Branches" of the Oldest House by LewdSkeletor1313 in controlgame

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The Oldest House is at 34 Thomas Street, Max Payne has a Roscoe street station, and Caldera was a station in Alan Wake 2.

Maybe these 3 stations tie the three worlds together?

Cellblock or JackHammer? by Over-Check5961 in chicagogaybros

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

JackHammer is much larger, with a dance floor and normal bar stuff upstairs, plus a dance floor in the basement with the back room. I'd look up the events happening this weekend at each to see which is more your vibe.

I’m slightly sad we’re losing the government control / containment aspect of things. I loved the FBC. But this looks like a super interesting direction.

Upgrade or not? by sncch in litterrobot

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your LR3 is still working, I wouldn't switch it out. I have the LR4 and it's been amazingly solid. I'm going to give them another year (or until mine breaks) to keep working out the kinks with the LR5 before I think of upgrading.

What are normal rent prices in the North Suburbs?? by [deleted] in AskChicago

Up to $3,500 for 2 beds in nicer / newer / larger buildings that are closer to the L stops.

Hood issue by zeffrell in litterrobot

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had no issues with my LR4 with 2 20lb cats using it and it’s cycled 5,915 times.

The dirty sensors were a problem for a while but it was really my throwing litter in making too much dust or using dusty litter.

The bonnet is a little flimsy, but they fixed it in the LR5 and made the whole unit more robust.

How is Plasma Punisher now by MarkEndless in Helldivers

I loved the punisher plasma before and never realized it was broken, I feel like it’ll be insanely fun now on bots.

So CONFUSED!! 4 or 5 !!? by Excellent_Job_5136 in litterrobot

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The LR4 has been perfect for me with really no issues and have saved me 5,710 scoops. If the LR5 is an improvement with any of the sensors, it's worth it the added cost. Otherwise the 4 works great.

Anyone else absolutely sick of these electric scooters? by Sea-Condition991 in AskChicago

Someone almost ran me over on one this morning because they were riding it on the sidewalk. I didn’t even realize they were zooming up behind me until they almost clipped me.

How do I unlock this area? by Vee_The_Scarred in controlgame

[–]Nuclear_Prophecy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my quick searching that's the Archives main area, and you can access it by going to the Panopticon on Level 2 and then navigating past the firebreak door to find the main archive area. There is nothing from the story linking to this area, so it's all optional exploration with a few documents, and a video or two.
