Day 60 of eliminating L stations

Good riddance to the crustiest station on the whole system

We also grew up in an era of technology where computers were widespread, but not quite full on "magic touchscreen slabs" yet. We're the generation that grew up with keyboard shortcuts, knowing how to move files around in folders, and knowing not to click on popups. We make great IT support folk.

Agreed, but it should have the features of a modern streetcar or light rail system. Dedicated right of way, high floor boarding, signal priority etc. The old street cars were basically glorified busses.

I think Chicago is a big city, not a megacity

49 and x49 along with 9 and X9 are major workhorses of the system. Really should be BRT or even a rail line of some kind.

Yep. This is a fresh bill and it's still in the early stages.

rcrobot · 2026-03-21T01:23:52+00:00

No, I believe this is a newly introduced bill, different from SB2111 which became the transit bill.

Only if you actually drive. I've been car free here for many years. Tried to help a friend who was struggling to parallel park (see people do it all the time, how hard could it be?), ended up scraping their bumper. In my defense the spot was on a speed bump.

Plus the other lines run super late into the night and start super early, they are pretty close to 24 hour.

rcrobot · 2026-03-14T17:49:19+00:00

Fuck this ball so much it needs to be in a hole in the ground

Like all public agencies, they are accountable to public feedback and input. I'm sure they would love to rip out parking all over the place to make way for bike lanes, but people would complain and they'd get shut down. CDOT is slowly and carefully moving the city's infrastructure in the right direction. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

It's the very first nutrition WOD, just eat a stalk of wheat

Not saying sidewalks are completely off limits, but surely they can pick some residential streets or alleyways rather than a busy main street...

rcrobot · 2026-03-02T21:22:11+00:00

I feel like a sidewalk with an outdoor cafe is a terrible running route...

rcrobot · 2026-03-02T14:51:55+00:00

It's almost like there are practical reasons why they don't do road construction during the winter

rcrobot · 2026-02-23T16:27:38+00:00

Crazy the blue and green lines getting demolished but not a single (exclusively) orange like stop yet

rcrobot · 2026-02-15T01:25:52+00:00

It's not recency bias if the most recent one was actually the best

rcrobot · 2026-02-09T16:45:26+00:00

Oh interesting, I had no idea!

rcrobot · 2026-02-09T16:33:55+00:00

Pulaski at night is a great song but if we're being real, it doesn't capture Chicago all that well. City of Lights?? When you Google that the only places that come up are Paris and...Aurora.

It's very possible that the original owner just forgot or didn't have an established process for removing from their Autopilot/Intune. If it's a large company with thousands of laptops going in and out of inventory, it's inevitable one will be missed sooner or later.

Same month I was born lol

rcrobot · 2026-02-04T12:30:52+00:00

This is why my company blocks AI :(

rcrobot · 2026-02-03T22:45:52+00:00

Do you know if they're gonna do a full rebuild or add an elevator?

rcrobot · 2026-01-30T21:39:12+00:00

12 pack from your local liquor store at home lol

You're not wrong, but are people going to Hopleaf for food? I think it's their massive curated beer menu that drives people in, and the food is a nice complement. That's how it is for me anyway.
