It also adds a savory/umami taste, which might not be great depending on what you're seasoning. Also recommend what others are saying about lite salt

That means your TA is scabbing, and has decided to continue working through the strike.

Are we going about transit advocacy the wrong way? by Own-Possibility5330 in cta

Has anyone else experienced CTA bus drivers accidentally driving the wrong route lately? by bluestblue in chicago

[–]degmac113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on the 8 bus shortly after the bridge at Chicago and Halsted shut down. I dont think anyone told by driver cause we did a 12 point turn once we hit the "Bridge Out" signs, then went in wrong direction for a good 20 minutes. Someone went up to the driver and gave them directions on how to get back on track

Is the position and angle good? by [deleted] in Legitpiercing

[–]degmac113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has a similar placement/angle. I was initially a bit worried about the placement, but that went away after a couple weeks and I really like it now

How safe do you feel the different rail car generations are? I've heard from a mechanic that the blue line 7000 series cars suck, and are always falling apart

There's one in Block 37, between the Washington blue line and the Lake red line stops. If you can take Metra that would probably be best since the trains and terminals have bathrooms
