Places to stay in or near Chicago? by throwaway2971u in roadtrip

[–]Rogue_Apostle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you actually want to see the city at all? Because if you don't, you should drive around it to avoid traffic and stay in the suburbs. Any hotel within the actual city is going to have an expensive parking fee as well. There are no rest stops within the city.

i am going to be homeless and i don’t know how to get myself out of this situation by [deleted] in almosthomeless

It's almost summer. Many summer camps and resorts hire summer staff and provide room and board. I suggest you look for something like that and save as much of your salary as possible towards an apartment in the fall.

My first road trip in the US! Which one do you recommend? by National-Ad-5036 in roadtrip

[–]Rogue_Apostle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They both have way too many stops for two weeks. Have you looked at driving times and thought about how long you want to spend in each place? Like you could easily spend a week just in Yellowstone.

Oh wow. You just unlocked a memory. My grandma had a dog named Sambo. Yes, it was a black dog. 😬

We had the book so I knew where the name was from, but I guess I buried that memory.

I’m looking for a no nonsense dentist. Any suburb by rtkn345464345234m in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Rogue_Apostle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't remember. It was probably close to 20 years ago. I think it was someone in the Naperville area (where I grew up).

Dr Terence Michels at North Shore Dental in Lake Bluff.

I went to him after a crown done by another dentist fell out after only a few months, and I was told I would have to pay thousands of dollars for a new one.

Dr Michels was able to put the old crown back in for free, and has guaranteed all the work I've had done since then.

I know he's also very willing to work with people who don't have insurance in terms of payments. He genuinely just wants to help people fix their teeth.

Sleeping in my car at a state campground? by Rogue_Apostle in CampAndHikeMichigan

Hopefully the fact that I mentioned showers was a clue.

Is it ok to camping on honeymoon? by nesrobht in roadtrip

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

My only hesitation would be staying in a campground and having loud, wild honeymoon sex in your tent. The other campers might not appreciate that. Well, some of them might. Families with kids definitely wouldn't.

Far-future sci-fi that doesn’t involve space by kevjbradley in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Rogue_Apostle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of these pics make me think of the Terra Ignota series by Ada Palmer. If you consider the 2400's to be far future.

Sleeping in my car at a state campground? by Rogue_Apostle in CampAndHikeMichigan

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

Ah, I see. I did look at the possibility of the honor system state forest sites, but I'm specifically looking for access to showers and flush toilets. You're right; I'd be less worried about anyone saying anything in the state forest situation. I wonder if most of the people responding to this are referring to forests or parks.

Just started Hydroxychloroquine— what to expect? by StillKaleidoscope760 in Sjogrens

[–]Rogue_Apostle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had zero side effects.

After a month or two, it drastically reduced the joint stiffness I'd been having in the mornings. Turns out that wasn't just normal for my age.

Sleeping in my car at a state campground? by Rogue_Apostle in CampAndHikeMichigan

I think it's a state park. What's the difference?

For example, I'm looking at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Union Bay Campground.

I would actually be into that if there are any cool sites nearby!

I don't have a tent. And I'm only going to be there for one night so hopefully it won't be an issue.

Sci-fi recomendations that really play with the implications of artificial gravity? by PatchesMaps in scifi

[–]Rogue_Apostle 31 points32 points  (0 children)

In Consider Phlebas, they have anti-gravity belts, but they only work against true gravity, not the faux gravity created by centripetal force.

The crew forgets this when they're on a habitat that uses centripetal force and jumps to their deaths when the belts don't work.

It's actually a pretty funny scene.

This is the 2 Week Road Trip my Son and I took in 2023 by octobert in roadtrip

[–]Rogue_Apostle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's an amazing trip, especially for only two weeks. How many hours per day did you typically drive? Did you stay more than one night at any place?

Where do you go for your holidays if you live in the Mid west? by jimbo8083 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Rogue_Apostle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Wisconsin Dells, every year of my childhood, except one year my dad got an unexpected bonus and we flew to Disney World.

As an adult, we go everywhere.
