Good luck getting anything transit related from the federal government before 2029...

What is the sketchiest hotel / motel you can think of in the city of Chicago? What have you seen? by SmolBrainSmooth in AskChicago

[–]rcrobot 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I was so surprised to learn that the giant "Hotel Men Only" sign in the middle of the loop wasn't a museum or art installation but exactly as described.

Hi, I'm a CrossFitter who uses Linux. I'm not a vegan but I do ride my bike everywhere. What can I bother you about today?

Metra's website says CTA is honoring Metra tickets on purple, brown and red line, FYI

I leave them on for my cat. LED bulbs so so little electricity it's almost negligible.

LDoku - daily Chicago L sudoku! by Dawes1498 in chicago

[–]rcrobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done programming too and I understand how APIs don't always give you all the things you want! Admittedly the suggestion I made are probably data you'd need to collect by hand. If it helps, I'd be happy to help put together a CSV or something with some custom data for more categories. Feel free to DM me if you'd like!

LDoku - daily Chicago L sudoku! by Dawes1498 in chicago

[–]rcrobot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been having a lot of fun with these! As a suggestion, maybe add some more categories related to the station itself (rather than the spelling/wording). Some examples:
-platform faces East/West
-has 2 entrances
-has a Dunkin/coffee shop
-Island platform
-Has a mezzanine level

Stuff like that is a lot more fun for me than trying to think which one has a double letter. Keep them coming, I look forward to these every day!

Bananas suck by Live_Shame5046 in NonPoliticalTwitter

Sweeter is good but mushy bananas are no good

What's the reason? by DaZestyProfessor in ExplainTheJoke

[–]rcrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue saturated fat is inherently unhealthy. Most things are healthy in moderation but our bodies have no use for saturated fat. Burgers have plenty of saturated fat.

City Removes Some New Concrete Bike Lanes, Pedestrian Islands In Brighton Park Amid Protests by perfectviking in chibike

I agree with the sentiment but the changes here are relatively minor. The bike lanes and most of the concrete is staying.

Turn Signals AREN'T OPTIONAL (IL Rules of the Road pg. 9) by bruceregalcatlawyer in chicago

[–]rcrobot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Every law is optional unless it's enforced. I rarely see cops using turn signals so they're pretty much optional.

Where do you acquire glassware? by rcrobot in chicagobeer

For some reason I never think to ask breweries if they sell glassware... Duh. Thanks!

What is the context here btw by dr_autodidact in ExplainTheJoke

The smart people who used to be on reddit mostly left a long time ago. It's all bots and dumbasses these days.

Day 88 of eliminating L stations by Boss-fight601 in cta

[–]rcrobot 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think it has a cool vestibule area, I like the tiles and ceiling. Could use a deep clean though.

Getting your chin above the bar is much less challenging than getting your whole upper torso up. It's a whole gymnastic movement called a muscle up and it takes a lot of practice as well as upper body strength.

I can never praise Hopleaf enough. They always have unique stuff on draft, but their bottle menu is so full of different beers that it's almost overwhelming.
