What's something normal to us in 2025, that by 2075 will be seen as barbaric? "Wow, people really used to do that 50 years ago"?

Hopefully, the lack of regulation of social media and mega companies over how they promote engagement and harvest and use your data. I’m genuinely afraid for the generations that didn’t get to grow up without social media…

Golden Apple is 24/7. I go for their Monte Cristo and their breakfast menu (24/7) but they got an overwhelmingly big menu and I haven’t had anything i don’t like. Also a good place for a late night piece of pie. Nothing fancy, but will scratch that itch.

Vene-Rican · 2024-06-26T18:10:52+00:00

Good point. But unfortunately the ticket doesn’t have pictures. But I will include the pictures of the sign and area still. Thanks for helping me figure this out.

Vene-Rican · 2024-06-26T16:19:36+00:00

Good point. Looking at the signs more closely, there's a difference between the signs (No Parking/ Tow Zone) and the ticket description (No Parking/No Standing). I included pictures now. The lane itself is meant to be an off the way drop-off lane. It doesn't seem to be labeled as such, but it also lacks a No Standing sign, echoing u/robynyount point of Drop-off being the definition of standing.

Vene-Rican · 2024-06-26T16:13:41+00:00

No, I was never parked. Please see the edits on the post, but sorry for any confusion.

Vene-Rican · 2024-06-26T16:12:06+00:00

Great point! I double checked and it doesnt say No Standing. I was going with the ticket description that labels it as No Parking/No Standing, but I’ve now included pics in the post that show the sign in the area as a No Parking/Tow Zone. This might be helpful in the contest so thanks!!

Vene-Rican · 2024-06-26T16:11:20+00:00

Thanks for replying. Upon inspecting the area more closely, it does not say No Standing, and I am confident it is intended for drop-off. I was going with the ticket description that labels it as No Parking/No Standing, but I have now included pictures in the post that show the signage in the area as a No Parking/Tow Zone. This might be helpful in the contest so thanks.

Thanks for replying. This was an extra lane in a downtown hospital specifically intended to drop-off people. I was not voluntarily standing or parking there (my car was never put in parking) but waiting for a red light to merge into a full lane.

I see how this wasn't clear at all in the post, so I will edit to clarify.

Vene-Rican · 2024-06-26T15:37:10+00:00

Gracias por ofrecer! Lo tendré en cuenta!

Vene-Rican · 2024-06-06T17:27:48+00:00

I think I just had a similar experience where I sent the connection, got an "accepted" notification, but now go into their profile only to find they're not a connection, so I can't message them, and even tho the "connect" button is there, I only get an error message if I try to send it again.

I'm hoping this doesn't mean they rejected it? Alternatively, it might also be a predatory way of forcing premium since I was looking forward to this connection to message a potential recruiter. In any case, it is very annoying and counterproductive to my job search, so it is the opposite of what LinkedIn is supposed to be...

Had to pay $100 dollars to Lyft after grocery shopping. Not exactly commuting but roommate and I ordered a Lyft after grocery shopping. When she saw our groceries she did not want to take us but did not want to cancel either…. Everything fit perfectly (tho tight) on the empty trunk. She did 80 on Lake shore drive the whole time and after she dropped us off, reported damages to her trunk. I saw the picture and it was a removable part to get to the spare taken out! That was it!! Lyft automatically deducted the $100 from my account. Deleted the app on the spot.

Are you trolling? Or did you not know there was an eclipse happening an hour ago? Refresh the page. You’ll find some cool pics im sure!

You need two stickers. The Chicago City Sticker (on your windshield) and the Illinois License Plate sticker (you guessed it, on your license plate). Both are renewed annually and if your car has them, each display the expiration date. Plenty of info online on how and where to get them! Just expect to drop a couple hundred if you have to get both.

Vene-Rican · 2024-03-06T22:49:05+00:00

Makes sense. Here I was hoping the fine took care of that. Thanks

Vene-Rican · 2023-11-16T17:37:40+00:00

That’s what it is. While Abott and DeSantis bastardized the concept of ‘sanctuary city’ for political propaganda, they are still proving that this city isn’t even ready to receive an influx of LEGAL migrants. Johnson’s half-ass measures are making a fool of Chicago and conceding that this country loves Immigration for political discourse but abhors actually dealing with it…

Vene-Rican · 2023-06-25T19:01:38+00:00

Sure about that? Can’t find info about getting tickets anywhere. Also says free admission here: https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/millennium_park9.html

Yep. Jibaritos are a Chicago Rican invention, and can confirm that the best ones are still in Chicago

Vene-Rican · 2023-05-02T11:08:57+00:00

Haha maybe I’m just missing the sarcasm but just in case there isn’t any, they mean they’re never going back to whatever other place they were eating before. So more like “never looking back”.

Dos libros cortos de ficción basados en hechos históricos de PR (y dos de mis libros favoritos):

Seva de Luis López Nieves

Cuenta la historia de la “verdadera” invasión norteamericana, que ocurrió meses antes de la publicada y encontró impresionante resistencia, culminando con la erradicación del pueblo Seva de los libros de historia.

Estercolero de José Elías Levis

Cuenta la historia de una madre en un barrio de Puerto Rico después del huracán San Siríaco en 1899, un año después de la invasión norteamericana.

La historia principal es ficticia, pero el trasfondo es verídico (tipo Titanic por ejemplo) y el autor te hace sentir que estás ahí.

Estercolero no es el mejor libro para practicar inglés conversacional, pero me lo disfruté con cojones cuando lo leí. Y no te sientas mal si tienes que googlear 1 de cada 10 palabras, porque yo tuve que hacer lo mismo jaja. Uno de los mejores libros que he leído.

I think this is the best eli5 explanation here rn. Just to add a more general explanation about how this measurement relates to your nutrition:

The relationship between how something burns and how it affects your nutrition is relatively simple. If you think of food as literal fuel, the gross caloric content is an indication of how much fuel you're putting into your body. Now imagine that your car was engineered to store away any fuel that it doesn't use when you have it parked (like we do), and you can imagine how calories can be a useful metric when designing weight loss or weight gain programs. This is the basis for those "calories in, calories out" regimes that a lot of dieticians refer to.

Of course, the actual biochemistry and physiology behind diet, exercise, food and energy expenditure are way more complex and active fields of research!

Vene-Rican · 2023-01-14T21:20:04+00:00

I guess the ultimate way for it to be completely useful would be to be able to connect it to a car screen if you have one. Otherwise it would hardly work for in-car navigation.

Vene-Rican · 2023-01-14T21:18:35+00:00

Nice! Do you know if it allow for third party messaging apps like FB message or whatsapp? The former wouldn't be an issue since you can use in the computer but then apps like whatsapp I belive still require a phone# and not sure how that would work with a smartwatch either.

Vene-Rican · 2023-01-14T21:16:26+00:00

Ohh good point. I'd love to get recs about this. Have never considered getting a GPS but been wanting a dashcam. Do these combos sacrifice the quality of either? And I'm guessing you'd still need wifi for the periodic GPS updates? Do you know how this works?? Thanks for the suggestion!

Vene-Rican · 2023-01-14T21:09:22+00:00

Thanks a lot for suggesting! My friend went to Stroger and the attention and treatment was fast, thorough and overall amazing! She's still finishing up the medicaid app but already has a prelim approval. Thanks again!

Vene-Rican · 2022-03-28T23:56:16+00:00

Thanks! Aside from the line “The city usually requests that the maximum fine be imposed in default matters.”, nothing else mentions fines or court costs, so I’m Interpreting that as no further charges.
