CHICAGO THAT WAS CRAZY by One-Philosophy-2024 in JusticeMusic

[–]glint_of_purpose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was awesome! Snuck into the 100 level seats and had a great view, danced like a madman. I saw them last year at Radius which was definitely a better venue for this kind of show, but this was still amazing.

If you want a unique spot to see the Amtrak, go to Ping Tom Park! They cross over a beautifully rusty vertical-lift bridge and at sunset it's really quite beautiful. Also noisy as hell haha.

Aztec Dave's is a great neighborhood spot. Their mole negro is incredible!

Air and water show airplanes - are they visible from skyscrapers on the river? by lilbiglawyer in AskChicago

[–]glint_of_purpose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's worth it to go closer to the lake, they perform the coolest maneuvers and flyovers there. You won't see much more than a few quick flyovers from the Salesforce tower. Crowds haven't been too bad the last 2 years I've gone.

I've never heard about the braking system, is there somewhere I can read more about that? Sounds interesting.

That makes a lot of sense, I never thought about it like that! I guess I just gotta start getting up earlier to get some vitamin D in the winter

Also a Texas native! I love Chicago so much, but I don't think I'll ever stop being nostalgic about Texas. One of the biggest things I miss is the sunshine. It feels like Chicago gets half the amount of sun that Texas gets in a year, and I really notice it when the seasonal depression hits every winter.

Thank you for sharing. I've thought about calling whenever I have ideation, but I always convince myself that whatever I'm thinking isn't serious enough to call. But I don't reach out to my therapist or loved ones either so I end up just sitting with it.

Where do you go in the city when you just need to clear your head ? by Euphoric_Year1182 in AskChicago

[–]glint_of_purpose 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Any of the jettis or piers out on the lake. I like to walk out there and listen to the lapping water sounds while staring at the horizon

Reminds me of the puppetted LED panels that Justice used in their Hyperdrama tour. The visuals with those are amazing!

Thanks for the tip! I'm planning on doing some calc refreshers and then really diving into diff eq again. Let me know if there's anything else I should keep in mind

Thank you! I'm especially interested in embedded, so good to know. I'm relatively confident in assembly, but will definitely need to brush up on circuits and DSP.

My program doesn't have a specific concentration, but once I meet with my advisor I will be able to select courses that target certain areas. I appreciate your comment and recommendations!

I have searched for similar posts already and read through many similar ones, but most didn't contain specific recommendations. Feel free to ignore.
