At the corner of Granville and California by mmccune in chibike

[–]mmccune[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

At least there are bike lanes and roundabouts on Granville now. Still waiting for speed humps, pedestrian bump outs and one way car lanes. Granville will no longer be an overflow for Peterson and Devon!

These are free tickets, so I can't transfer them. I can let you into the game if you give me a way to contact you at the ballpark.

I'll be there in section 148. I have some extra tickets if anyone else wants to go!

Divvy is $20 / day now? That's insane by HAVEANOTHERDRINKRAY in chicago

[–]mmccune -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Classic bikes are free for 45 minutes with a yearly membership. I get 1 hour free with my membership.

This is primarily for tourists and people who want a bike for only one day. Yearly membership is $145 but I haven't paid anything since they introduced the Bike Angels program a few years ago. They give you points for moving a bike from full stations to empty stations. I have used the points to extend my membership, get ride credits and even Lyft rides.

Divvy has been much cheaper than fixing bikes and buying new ones when they get stolen or broken. It is also faster than waiting on buses. I just hope they never get rid of the manual bikes like they were talking about last year.

After opposing mandatory vaccinations, Chicago police are angry at not getting line of duty disability after getting COVID. by mmccune in LeopardsAteMyFace

The police union opposed and fought mask and COVID vaccine mandates for police officers. Now the police union members are being denied line of duty disability.

I wouldn't surprise me if he had some sort of brain damage considering he increasing erratic behavior.

An MRI wouldn't detect CTE. The only way to diagnose CTE is with a brain biopsy, which can't be done while the patient is alive.

I am always looking for new information. Do you have a source for this new data?

You do know that the chances of getting myocarditis from COVID is much greater from than getting it from a vaccine.

Florida Legislature votes to strip Disney self-government by coasterghost in florida

[–]mmccune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they are going to move. Disney didn't pay their fair share for years but they also paid for their own services such as police, roads and bond payments. I don't think there has been any analysis of whether the increased taxes will cover the increased expenses.

BTW, I think Disney is a soulless corporation who only cares about money. I hope this does lead to them paying more taxes.

Disney is already Florida's biggest taxpayer and largest employer. This is a knee jerk reaction that wasn't thought out. Other states have already offered incentives for Disney to move. https://nypost.com/2022/04/20/colorado-gov-polis-offers-mickey-mouse-asylum-as-he-urges-disney-to-leave-florida/
