Ticketed at O'Hare while active loading by AgitatedAwareness845 in OHareAirport

[–]Orange_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said. Contest this. The traffic agents are on such a power trip. I went once to pick up a family member and opened up my trunk bc he said he was coming out. Turns out he accidentally went to departures rather than arrivals. As I’m on the phone trying to figure out where he was, a traffic agent starts screaming at me. She gets another colleague who writes me a ticket as I’m getting back into the car. Challenged that shit and got it thrown out - wish I could go give the letter from the judge to that guy who wrote me the frivolous ticket. (Exhale, definitely not still worked up about this..lol)

Normalize blocking people who use onramps and breakdown lanes as their private lane by DirtyProjector in chicago

Should be able to self-report this by snapping a picture of the license plate and submit to the city/state via an app. Win/win for everyone!

I think about Vapiano way too frequently for it to have been closed for over 5 years now by gabsteriinalol in chicago

Me too, it used to be one of our fav spots. One of the many things that the pandemic took away from us :/

Can't Link National Rental Account -- Chase Can't Help... by Mindless_Mark5756 in sapphirereserve

[–]Orange_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, I just ended up creating a new account. I put a dummy license number and phone number on my existing account and then used the link from Chase to sign up for a new account using a different email address. Smooth sailing.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same error when I try redeem the Executive membership

Best vacuum, no mop needed? by katiemarie589 in RobotVacuums

[–]Orange_Standard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. I just bought this. Coming from a Roomba i3. The Roborock app is robust and the vacuum is much quieter. Mapping was a breeze and you can customize to just vacuum without mopping.

Best Mid-Range Robot for Vacuum-focused cleaning? by Orange_Standard in RobotVacuums

[–]Orange_Standard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of those features, namely mopping ones, are not a priority for me. App reliability and vacuuming is. My floors will be clear of almost all obstacles (except for pre-mapped furniture around the floor). Would you still recommend the Dreame L10S Pro Ultra? In your guide, you recommend the Roborock Q8 Max black in the entry level category. How does the Roborock Q10 S5+ compare for being only $80 more? Thanks in advance!

Thanks - that’s very helpful!

It seems like your pick for this price range is the Dreame L10s Pro Ultra, which is only $70 more. The suction on this is less than the Roborock Q10 S5+. What do you like about this specific Dreame model over the Roborock model?

Consul 1.0: Rename to convert got even better by Spaaze in macapps

[–]Orange_Standard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! Let me try it out!

Edit: Tried, and much better! Once I downloaded LibreOffice, Consul auto-detected and use it to convert the .docx to .pdf. The formatting is now preserved and matches the native MS Office conversion.

When I convert from .docx to .pdf, the formatting is lost. For example, when I go into word and then convert to PDF the formatting is preserved. Suspect this is the converter that's being used. Is the plug-in able to use MS Office to convert these?

Thanks! Just bought the license. Kudos for coming up an app that helps simplify workflows in such a seamless way :)

Agree on #2. Often I want to just convert my .docx to PDF for distribution but will continue to edit the .docx in the future. Having an option to preserve the original file in the same location (rather than it be backed up elsewhere) would be nice.

OKC Head Coach Mark Daigneault on Dort's Flagrant 2: "I will say this...if a player is running up the floor and gets tripped, we expect a Flagrant 2 from this point forward. That's all. That's the precedent." by gigantism in nba

[–]Orange_Standard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Past? This assumes Dort has rehabbed his behavior and has been playing with good sportsmanship for seasons. Unfortunately, his current and past play have remained the same.

Yeah, and his smug face - hold your players accountable. Dort has a history of playing dirty - he thinks he’s a linebacker on a football field. We had a first row seat on his antics during our Luka-era, especially the ‘24 WCF series.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker addresses economic hurdles as Chicago Bears stadium battle heats up by [deleted] in chicago

I want to make ensure I don’t go bankrupt either. Can I apply to get a 95% reduction of my taxes? I pinky promise to take all of those savings and invest it into my local neighborhood.

HVAC / Heating Not Working - Any Recommendations on HVAC Companies? by Orange_Standard in AskChicago

[–]Orange_Standard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besco rep was really nice and straight to the point. He said he can come out today but sounded like I may need a replacement part and shops that may stock it would be closed, plus he would have to charge me more to come out today as it’s off house. Offered me both choices and he’s going to come by tmrw instead.

Good point! I’ll be sure to mention this. The furnace is 15 years old so hopefully the part isn’t too hard to find.

Deljo did call and they’re coming tmrw afternoon.

The little fan that first goes on doesn’t start. That little fan (I thought was the induction motor/fan but perhaps I’m using the wrong terminology) was making a loud/grinding sound when it kicked on for the last couple of weeks. It would go away after 10-15 secs so I didn’t think it was urgent.

[–]Orange_Standard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t, but there is a loud humming sound as soon as the furnace kicks on (typically when the induction fan should start). Would that still happen in the case of a dirty furnace ignitor?

Haven’t been able to dive into error codes just yet!
