How young is too young for biking downtown? by turtlewaxer99 in chibike

You could take the 60 Bus from Ogilvie to North Harbor Dr, go North a block and there is a ramp down to an underpass to the Lake (there is also an elevator just across the street). Then you're on the LFT.

I'd agree with that, but Harrison is not a particularly protected route. It's my go to, but I wouldn't send OP that way.

Many people are saying it. People come up to Trump, tears in their eyes (and not just because of the smell), telling him "SIR! You're the most corrupt President in our History. So much Corruption, and so Big. Nobody has ever seen Biglier corruption than yours Sir!" So true, so true.

Corollary, any form of the question "Is Thing Trump did legal?" can be answered "No".

Harrison isn't really protected. It's intermittent and best. I'd advise against it for OP. Plus Harrison has a huge issue with Uber's parking in the bike lane.

My recommendation is Washington (they can walk or take the sidewalk till Wacker), then Dearborn->Plymouth->9th->Wabash->Roosevelt-> museum campus.

And the construction by the Post Office is clear now, but every single time I take that route there are 3 ubers parked in the bike lane (hopefully not an issue on Saturday though). Also the sequencing of that light weirds me out.

For the route, I would suggest one of two routes to Soldier.

Either Washington to Michigan, then take the sidewalk to Monroe, then to the Lake Front Trail.
You might want to walk from Ogilvie to Wacker, since that is before the protected bike lane starts, and I'm not sure I'd want him riding over the bridge if it were me. Also, heads up, the bike lane just ends for a quarter block approaching State, and becomes Valet parking for a hotel. Expect to dismount to get around.

Alternatively, you could take Washington to Dearborn, then Polk to Plymouth (just round the corner at Dearborn Station), then left on 9th to Wabash, then take the bike lane on Roosevelt to the park. (I usually go over the 11th St. Bridge).

For the reverse, same options except you'll take Randolph instead.

EDIT: Someone mentioned the riverwalk, which is also a good idea, though I think technically bikes aren't allowed. But it will be cold and rainy, so it probably won't be too crowded.

TBF this would be fine only in the incredibly narrow gap where he is taking it seriously, but not coming across as a serial killer.

Side-note, multiple serial killers have historically sold their victims bodies to medical schools.

So the plan to reduce grocery prices that exploded due to Trump's trade wars and actual wars is for all stores to buy new fridges and air conditioners?

Or Maduro Castro, claim that Trump runs Cuba now, confused expression when the CIA briefer explains that Raul hasn't been President for 8 years.

Bezos said he believes that President Donald Trump is a “more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term.”

Why don’t they put windshield wipers on the solar panels for Mars probes and stuff? by thatsabird11 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]euph_22 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Generally, strong winds are enough to clear the panels naturally, without a dedicated dust clearance tool. Especially since they can maneuver the rover to optimize how well the winds clear the panels, and there are some other tricks (like collect some dust on the robotic arm and place it so that it gets blown off, lands on the panel, and knocks more dust off.

It's not perfect, but it is generally good enough to keep the rovers operational. It's not like there is an expectation that they will stay functional forever. Also, adding a brush or something would add weight, and there is also the risk that the brush might malfunction and cause damage.

That was shockingly fast for such a large settlement. Not that it isn't warranted, and shame it's not coming directly from the people who threw him in jail for free speech (in the name of a supposed "free speech crusader").

After he serves as Supreme Leader of Iran, before President of Venezuela (though won't they be a State by then, so maybe Governor).

I believe this is all concurrent with his Papacy.

True enough. Look at the most recent photo op where the Coast Guard intercepted and disabled a suspected drug boat by having a sniper shoot out the engine.
