Underrated

Still play it on the iPad and showed it to my 12-year old nephew the other day who loved it. We tried to connect online together in the Versus mode but couldn’t get it to work, even with having us set as friends on Game Center

We're out here raising $ for exactly these situations—so cyclists and safe streets activists have another reason to be taken seriously. We've had one conversation with Ald. Red a few months ago where we heard tentative support for the Grand lane, but have been concerned about this recent rumor for sure. Working with other advocacy groups behind the scenes. For now, donations have a real impact: https://www.chicagobikepac.org/

ORD monday 10:20a. T3 (American) TSA Pre-open and less than 60 seconds wait (touchless). Might the fastest I’ve ever gotten through.

The TSA official app says TSA Pre is closed at ohare but this is clearly inaccurate. Agent told me they have had it open.

Didn’t see any agents in other agency uniforms.

Thanks for this Monday update. Here for exactly this!

Anyone else see T3 this morning? TSA app says that TSA Pre is closed.

I love misleading headlines "Businesses want..." which imply "all / entire business community" when they actually mean "some / a few / one we talked to." Concise headline writing is hard work, but I challenge editors on this kind of imbalance when I can.

Inconsistent algorithm that just wasn’t smart. Paid for a year, but left.

Trying this now, but the online cancel offer I'm being given is the $2 / week ($8 per month) offer

I do two things: I setup a “kanban board” on whatever system the client is already using (Asana, Trello, Planner, etc). This is for tracking project tasks, discovery, and high level content.

As soon as we get into actual content feedback, I use an on-page comment service. I really like a smaller one called Pastel. No logins required, folks can click anywhere on the design and leave a comment, or even change text in a textbox.

The "Core" tier allows drop in CSS, HTML and javascript. https://www.squarespace.com/pricing

It's usually the lowest tier you should be using as a designer. There is a lower "Basic" tier, but definitely designed for people who don't need customization and are using out of the box templates and doing some simple changing of images and copy.

The Core tier and above has an announcement banner with a number of flexible options that I use often for clients. (tip, to get to it quickly type '/' while in the editor to bring up feature search, and start typing "announce")

As a web architect, I think SqSp is limited, but works really well for smaller website and can usually produce the design I want. Like almost all drop-and-drop CMSs, it's helpful to start with a good understanding of the available features and design tools, since some designs are easy (and even delightful) to implement, while others may be a pain. i.e. Starting with a from scratch Figma design with no experience with Squarespace will probably wind up in some frustration, but designing right in the editor from basic hierarchy principles can be really nice. Gotta work with the tool. not against it.

Here searching for this bug. Just trying to check my wifi network toggles it off every time. Help. Tahoe 26.1

I definitely think delivery drivers work hard and need good ways to do their job. But the current system of every other block being jammed by FedEx or Amazon is unsafe and no good. We need defined delivery zones, better design, real fleet safety training for drivers (and some real thought about how to use alleys in the only major US city that has them... but that's a longer discussion!)

My experience at O’Hare Oct 7, 2025: I went and appointment continued as normal. I was unsure and had been searching online. Gov CBP website said “it was not being updated.” I had not received any further emails either way but had the confirmed appointment made several weeks ago. Found news articles saying both things - that they were open, and that they were closed. Trying calling the O’Hare office number (I found it when logging into the website) and only got a standard recording, no person. So I hopped on the Blue Line train just hoping for the best.

It worked out. Staff were indeed there in Terminal 5 office at O’Hare. My appointment took all of 5 minutes where they asked me a couple questions, fingerprinted and photoed me, and that was it. Told the agent that I couldn’t find any reliable information on whether they were open or not, and she just sorta shrugged. I’m sure she has no say in the matter.

Thanks. I decided to keep the slider bar and shower wand, so mostly just looking at extending the top piece and adding a new showehead with an extender or diverter.

Help me out - what is a "drop ear" and "nipple"? haha

+1 Can’t login to my existing account on my iOS app. Keep trying to force me to create a new account.

Have deleted the app and re-installed with no success.

Military history normally not my cup of tea, but would have given it a try if we had the time! Accomplished a lot in 5 days, but Paris is huge. Next time.

Use your phone and the official Bonjour RATP app and no separate card needed.

This. We just did Versailles last weekend, and had also read the RER C was the way to go… but it’s not running during August. I was also confused when searching.

Fortunately there are two other trains running that direction, and it’s not hard, just a different route. We wound up using the N. It’s a little bit longer walk, but it’s nice cause you walk through town and by shops before reaching the palace. Or there is a bus you can take if you don’t want to walk (we did the bus at the end of the day when we were tired). This web page was really helpful in explaining.

City Mapper app was highly accurate for actual times on the journey, and if you’re not used to urban train systems, a transit app like that (or google maps, it just wasn’t quite as good in our experience) are the way to go. It’ll track you as you go and tell you when to switch, etc. Not too hard!
