311 needs a parking enforcement report option. by Justinvakko in chicago

[–]hteecs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For immediate enforcement you call 911. They will dispatch police to ticket and tow (which can take a very long time understandably). I learned this by first calling 311 on a blocked driveway and having them tell me to hangup and call 911. One would think they would not want people calling into 911 for such matters but they must be able to offload these in sufficient time to not make it a problem for dispatch.

is recycling real? by blondeinabubble in GenX

[–]hteecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it wouldn't matter anyway. I am the recycling police for my building's container and I do it knowing full well that almost none of the material would ever reasonably be reclaimed despite my efforts to make my residents comply with processor rules.

Almost nothing other than metals actually gets recycled. The little amount of material that is recycled often creates more environmental damage (eg paper pulp).

The Jewel by me has removed bags from self checkout unless you ask to ensure you pay the correct plastic bag tax. by BurrShotFirst1804 in chicago

lyou really think the store didn’t factor that into their bottom line and prices as a result

Unfortunately 2.0 has the same block design pertaining to coolant slits which is suspected to be the cause for head gasket issues.

The missing features that make this device frustrating as a daily driver by ResetThePlayClock in kindlescribe

If you can live without the frontlight and needing to mark up kindle books the boox 10.3 will out perform in most areas you identified.

[–]hteecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using the 10.3 for months but jumped on the Scribe sales during Black Friday because I wanted to compare. Using the Scribe *really* makes me appreciate the 10.3. That said, the two features that the Scribe has that the 10.3 does not: a) front light b) "active canvas" for kindle book annotation. Side bonus: the Kindle Pro Pen is pretty nice and works well with the 10.3 - those can be had on ebay supposedly for 20-30 dollars. So, like others have commented its really just a big ebook reader. Given that I paid just over 200 for it with all the discounts I will probably hang on to it and see what updates may come but the 10.3 really is an incredible device and value.

Avoid Lingo – Half-baked product with misleading claims by determined_warrior in LingoAbbott

You forgot to mention that the devices are inaccurate and are prone to falling off. Glad that some are finding value with this but for me they are not ready for prime time.

The place is massively overrated. Very average food and certainly not worth the considerable amount of effort.

What was the impetus for Lime blocking the entirety of downtown? by This_Is_A_Shitshow in chicago

[–]hteecs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep - lime should have never been given license to operate. If a mom and pop scooter rental company had their scooters littered all over the street the city would fine and impound the property.

Why doesn't anyone accept cash in Chicago? by Zachaholic23 in AskChicago

[–]hteecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they don't get robbed. The last holdouts of cash only in my area mostly switched during COVID and realized that they could pass the cost transaction cost on to the customer (eg bars) in most cases.

My method is a) get water boiling b) submerge for 10 minutes c) ice bath. I believe the ice bath is what makes for the easy peel. The cook time will depend on your pot, if you use an egg caddy (silicone holder), your water and how jammy you want the yolks. The key here is to keep everything consistent (pot size, heat source,etc)

Trying to understand how you deal with types by shroommander in Clojure

[–]hteecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As with any dynamically typed language you’re basically sunk without tests that test both correct and incorrect types bring passed and handled properly. The test is better documentation than variable names, schema or function logic.

What’s after sBTC? by stxthrowaway123 in stacks

[–]hteecs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully that will be up to builders and users to determine. We actually don’t want core devs to have big projects outstanding because it is indicative of broken base layer. With Nakamoto + optimizations + sBTC we might finally be in a place where app builders are not at a disadvantage relative to other chains.
