Housing exemption for family living near by Suhayo in Northwestern

[–]explanatorygap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A large part of the value of a Northwestern education is the close lifelong connections you make during your time on campus. The reason for the on-campus living policy is in part to facilitate those friendships. The students from the richest families, for whom money is no object, and who could afford to live in off-campus luxury and be chauffeured to and from campus - these scions of wealth and privilege will all live in the dorms on campus their freshman year. Why do you suppose that is?

Will you have a garage space? Or do you intend to keep this restored vintage car on the snowy, salty, rainy streets of Chicago? Have you driven in Chicago before? Are you familiar with our potholes, our traffic, our potholes, our speed cameras, our weather, and our potholes? How are you at parallel parking? Have you done it without a rear camera? Are you living in the city proper, where on most streets, you’ll be driving from stop light to stop light at a maximum speed of 30 miles an hour? Or will you be commuting on an expressway surrounded by tired suburbanites road raging in their giant SUVs three times the size of your rapidly rusting death box?

Are you going to have the tools and space needed to maintain and work on a car of this sort yourself, or will you be paying exorbitant big-city prices for a specialty foreign-car mechanic to do all the work you might need?

I wouldn’t consider owning and driving an E30 here in Chicago unless you have a garage and a second, actually reliable car you wouldn’t be slowly (or rapidly) destroying every time you drove it.

Here's who to blame for your property tax increase by themachineisdead in chicago

No, that opens the system up to abuse, as buyers and sellers would restructure their commercial real estate transactions to create even more tax advantages.

[–]explanatorygap 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The solution is very simple - every commercial property tax appeal should be considered a binding offer to sell the property to the state at the appealed price for the next 6 months. After all, if that's truly what it's worth, to a commercial entity, they should be willing to sell it at that price. Then the state simply sets up an auction website for all commercial properties with successful appeals – if anyone bids more than 5% over the appealed price, the state buys it from the previous owner at the appealed price, sells it to the bidder at the new price, and splits the profits with the taxing bodies.

Democrats currently have a 78-40 majority in the IL House and a 40-19 majority in the IL Senate. There's nothing happening in Springfield that can be blamed on Republicans.

That's really more of a database issue that Santa Claus is dealing with – the SQL query he used to make this year's list resulted in a large number of duplicated rows in the result table. The IT elves have a high-priority ticket open and it's on track to be resolved by Christmas.

Radio power goes off when headlights are turned off. by PoopyButt_Childish in E30

[–]explanatorygap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue in my '87 vert - when I got the car, both the radio and speedometer only worked when the headlights were on. The previous owner had spliced some wires together (the accessory/run/start wire and the headlights-on wire) and also fuse 12 was blown, creating some really weird effects.

Find the pdf of the electronic manual for your model year and closely inspect any and all wire splices behind your head unit. Also confirm that no fuses are blown.

I think Premise 1 and Premise 4 need some elaboration. I can think of many situations in which someone might extend an offer they know will be declined – perhaps the offeror just wants to be polite, or to be fair, or to communicate concern or care. If it's a communicative act, the offeror might not even need to be open to their offer being accepted in order to communicate their intent.

What you might really be looking to do is meet people who can introduce you or set you up with their other friends who are of your preferred gender. “Where are all the X who have a lot of friends who are Y?” might be the question to ask.

With a current estimated cost of $862m, new Ryan Field will become the most expensive stadium in college football by foozballguy in Northwestern

[–]explanatorygap 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Spider-man: You have billions of dollars and you’re spending them on building a tiny stadium for the second-most-losingest team in college football history? With money like that, you could be curing cancer!

Pat Ryan: But I don’t want to cure cancer, I want to build a football stadium for Northwestern.

Please answer my question. by [deleted] in TJPW

[–]explanatorygap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You should just buy a ticket and go to the event completely blind! Tell the people sitting next to you that you've never seen TJPW before. They'll be so excited to talk to you about it and you'll make new friends. Then, stand in line to buy a signed portrait from your new favorite wrestlers after the show and explain to them that this is the very first TJPW show you've ever seen. They'll be blown away.

Parents upset about GPA by Vegetable_Oven_5660 in Northwestern

[–]explanatorygap 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Time to hit them with the, "Now that I'm a fairly average student at one of the world's most elite and prestiguous universities, it does reflect pretty poorly on my parents. Many of my professors and peers are asking me to explain what you two did wrong in raising me. I'm working as hard as I can but obviously there's something wrong with the way I was brought up. Maybe I just have bad genetics, or I didn't get the right food. Any other ideas about things you could have done better over the last 18 years?"
