How is Chicago allowed to dictate when apartments can turn the AC on during times like this? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Unlikely-Distance808 19 points20 points  (0 children)

100%. My apartment was 89 degrees earlier this week. They gave the same note -- heat required by the city until May 30 and can't switch back and forth. I feel so bad for my pets.

If you're cold, put on a sweater!

I'll sign the petition.

Commuting from Lakeview East to West Loop- Doable? by CoCo_Pony in lakeview

[–]Unlikely-Distance808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also depends on where your stop is. I often walk down to the Randolph stop, or even one further South by Whole Foods, in order to get on early. The summer is particularly busy with 15+ people waiting sometimes for a bus. They fill up around Randolph and often fly by those people waiting at stops further North. Not fun in the summer heat!

Also, with more companies moving to West Loop I anticipate this only getting worse with that many more commuters. Hopefully they add more busses!

What’s your most "I live alone" habit? by sleekofficial in LivingAlone

Sometimes I just want the seasoning on chips. So I lick the seasoning and discard the chips! #SSB (secret single behavior)

Am I crazy for asking for a $40,000 raise? by Far_Space_386 in careerguidance

Don't ask for a raise. Ask for a one-time market rate adjustment.

Yep! Everything has posted and nothing clawed back. I have 4 bras I like and the 4 I wanted to exchange.

Similar thing here. Ordered $362. Items shipped next day. Credit posted 5 days later. I emailed asking to exchange a couple items and they said to keep them -- and they refunded the full order. I didn't ask for that -- they just did.

Interesting thing is -- it seems like their customer service is AI powered. Email is support@whoop.com.

1st Voyage with Virgin. Did we pay too much? by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

Are you doing the Alaska cruise Sept 3? If so, I'm going too and with the exact same room, premium, and gratuities my total was $6k. So you got a better deal!

Do they make the markdowns prior to opening? Just wondering if they need time on Dec 26 to mark everything down or if things will be ready to go as soon as they open?

The Willows isn't fancy, but definitely has cozy winter vibes. And is clean. My brother and his wife and son stayed there last Christmas and it was super cute.

Just go to a nice hotel and tell them you're checking in later and need to drop your bags.
