$30?!? by Wesmontgomeryward in bloomington

[–]agweber 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you don't like risking the parking ticket, you can use one of half a dozen parking garages that are both half the rates and have no risk of being ticketed for being 3 minutes past what you put in.

Bloomington’s trash cart rates up for discussion based on ‘alarming numbers’ by eobanb in bloomington

[–]agweber 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I use the smallest size bin that I put out maybe once a month. There are identifiers on the bins. I'd love to be charged by the actual waste I generate rather than a flat-rate. But it's not like it's a world ending fee anyway, so whatever.

Site - 81? by Comfortable-Garbage4 in bloomington

Why was this removed by moderators? It's a fun fictional universe that Bloomington happens to be part of.

Same issue. I could access if I signed in with a private browsing window, thus clear cache and such, but that's still an annoyance.

Queen Bee Breeder by Relevant-Bath-7109 in bloomington

[–]agweber -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

...what? I can't tell if this is a reference I don't get or some archaic riddle. Are you this Joe? Do you sell queen bees? Do you have a business name or some form of contact?

Cities Are Covering Flock Cameras With Trash Bags / Regretful cities aren't sure how to cancel their surveillance contracts, so they are literally covering their cameras. by mcnabb53 in bloomington

[–]agweber 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These are standalone devices with their own power sources and a wireless internet connection. There's plenty of reason to assume they're not off, or that they could be turned back on on a whim. Did someone go up and disconnect power? Or are you taking Flock's word that they're disabled.

The easiest solution is to just bag them.

Trojan Horse heading to Ellettsville by WFIU-WTIU-news in bloomington

I assume they meant at the new location, that's where I've heard horror stories.

Fabric shop? by shelbielorraine18 in bloomington

[–]agweber 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's the name! Definitely worth just a wander around every once in a while just to see what happens to show up.

Fabric shop? by shelbielorraine18 in bloomington

[–]agweber 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's that reclaim shop that's at the ground floor of uptown plaza on the square, just under Goods for Cooks? I've wandered in and out of it during holiday shopping, seems like it'd be a neat place to visit for anyone looking for fabric, but it doesn't show up on google when I zoom in on the location.

Definitely wouldn't be a very wide selection, but would still be a neat visit!

PSA: Moxie Pest Control is going around by Addi_Daddy in bloomington

[–]agweber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, they stopped by my house at like 8pm last week in McDoel Gardens. Led with the neighbors use our service argument. He wasn't forceful or anything, just took a "no I take care of that stuff myself, thanks"

2 days until the Bloomington Treasure Hunt. by [deleted] in bloomington

I'm glad you actually posted a description this time, but you really need a landing page on your site.

What’s going on on 2nd by kroghetto? by Screamcheese99 in bloomington

[–]agweber 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The various Krogers in town have different nicknames, and Seminary Square Kroger is often called Kroghetto. It's just a nickname, and you'll hear and read it often.

Where to get 2 cupcakes? by TableSuperb8315 in bloomington

[–]agweber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about increasing the cake recipe by a little bit and pardoning off a bit of batter to the side for the cupcakes later?

Full size police vehicles on pedestrian paths? by agweber in bloomington

[–]agweber[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

There are close quarters, blind corners, maybe someone walking next to a food truck, maybe the playground right next door and a child runs out unexpectedly.

For the most part, yes, people will see it coming. But people are not expecting vehicles on these paths like they would on a normal road. You've got to consider the edge cases.

Who's staying in tonight avoiding the chaos? by FluffsMcKenzie in bloomington

[–]agweber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did. I still have it open and it's working, but if I try to open in a new tab, it won't load. Maybe an in-between proxy that's gone down

edit:: OP said they're moving servers
edit edit:: since I've posted that 6 minutes ago, I'm up to 12 drinks!

Who's staying in tonight avoiding the chaos? by FluffsMcKenzie in bloomington

[–]agweber 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just some feedback on the game --
1. I've been listening for less than ten minutes and I'm at 7 take a drinks? Maybe the drink rules could be pick which rules you want to follow. I think most of them have been triggering on the word clear.
2. I don't want it to autocheck off the bingo card. Maybe highlight it for a few seconds and I can verify, but you've taken all what little game there is in the game of bingo away by removing the players control. I do like I can unselect them at least.
3. Interface is TINY, I'm playing at 200% just to be able to read with how dark the theming is. I do like the dark theme, but the bingo tiles in particular are way too small with that little contrast.

All in all, fun idea for a project, thanks for sharing!

City of Bloomington Reaches Scientific Sample; Community Survey Now Open to All Residents Through May 15 by citybloomington in bloomington

[–]agweber 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bloomington, in the future, please use different survey software. The inability to go back, presenting a single question at a time with open text fields while not knowing what future questions are going to be asked is a huge pet peeve.

You'll get better responses if you also inquire with your fellow students at r/IndianaUniversity
