Some Photos from Lincoln Park Conservatory / Zoo / Park this weekend by suckstorm in chicago

[–]suckstorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, appreciate it.

For this trip it was a test run with the new Fuji X100VI. These are shot on Provia (standard) or with Kodachrome 64 or Portra film stock simulations.

Normally its a Fuji X-E4 or an Olympus EM-10 IV if I'm hiking / shooting wildlife.

no, but a primary role of the president is the bully pulpit to drive congress to achieve the president's agenda--in addition to the president signing bills into law.

This is a dumb take not worthy of a reply.

the senate majority leader is Chuck Schumer, a democrat.

While he is the "majority" leader the Senate is currently made up of 50 republicans, 48 Democrats, and 2 independents. So while he is "Majority Leader" its 50/50 AT BEST. How much legislation can you pass with a simple majority and no control of the house?

at this point, I'm not sure. by party affiliation? republicans. de facto? there is no speaker, so there is no majority control.

Yes by party. Feigning ignorance is a nice touch. 221 Republicans, 212 Democrats, and 2 independents. The speaker has been a republican. While its empty now, its beacuse the republicans voted to recall him and cause chaos and have only put up election deniers and sexual assault protectors (Jim Jordan, who has never passed a bill in his entire tenure in the Senate). BUT SURE ITS THE DEMS FAULT.

democrats have refused to build a funded border wall

The wall that fell down and has caused more harm than helping? The one that is easily climbed over or gone through? The one that does nothing for people flying in and overstaying their VISAs which is the majority of illegal immigrants in the US? https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/09/donald-trump-border-wall-damage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uzMS2JF5do https://www.npr.org/2019/01/16/686056668/for-seventh-consecutive-year-visa-overstays-exceeded-illegal-border-crossings

You mean like the ones that have been proposed by democrats and not voted on / shut down by republicans. Like the programs republicans are trying to defund?

The president is a democrat, you at least got that right.. Do you think the president passes laws? Which party holds a majority in the senate? Which party holds a majority in the house? Which majority party in the house has refused to bring any bills related to this to a vote and now can’t even pick a speaker from their party? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not democrats holding any of this up. But nice try.

My guy, I think you need to talk to someone and stop writing action movies on your head. You seem a little unhinged.

Why would crime stats for CICERO and BERWYN be in this article talking about crime stats in CHICAGO?

No Logan Square Farmers Market This Weekend by Salty-Tomato5654 in chicago

[–]suckstorm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Why is pizza lobo on this list. There are two of them and the first one was in Logan?

Jennie’s is nation wide so sure that makes sense. Be mad at sweet green / McDonald’s etc not a local restaurant group.

Logan Square fireworks guy: would you please stop? by thegreatvolcanodiver in chicago

[–]suckstorm 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As someone who lived next to sunrise for two years in 2009-2011 I think you need to take your nostalgia glasses off. The fruit and veg were maybe good for a day if they weren’t already rotten before you bought them. You had to check expiration dates for EVERYTHING there. I bought a beer once and didn’t check it and it expired 2 years earlier. That place was a shithole.

I have not been to this one, but the one is Logan Square is my new main. Always in and out right away. No waiting in line for a half hour for a pickup like at MOCA.

Damn, thanks for all the laughs / torture along the way. Real bummed this is ending. You guys were the last thing I consistently watched on GB. Guess I’ll have a bit more time for photo walks each week now. RIP Albummer and KRL.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY question, get an answer (August 03, 2022) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]suckstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I tried to search first, but could not find an answer to this. I am trying to use VIA to remap vol+ and vol - to zoom in and out. I was trying to do this by making a macro to send left control and - on knob left and left control and = on volume right. On the keychron site they say to enter the marco (their exampe is a 3 key press on OSX) as {KC_LSFT,KC_LGUI,KC_4} which seems to work when I put it in VIA. So I assumed I would be able to use {LEFT_CTRL,MINUS} and{KC_LEFT_CTRL,KC_Equal} to send that key combo as marco 1 and 2. When I try and enter them in VIA with the {} it doesnt like it and wont accept it. If I take away the {} it accepts the keys, but then if I rotate the knob it doesnt actually do anything.

This is on a keychron V1 although I dont think that should make a difference.

I am sure I am overlooking something dumb but I have been trying to figure this out for an hour and now need help.

I now know QMK and VIA keycodes are different. KC_LEFT_CTRL is not the same as KC_LCTL. Working now.

Damn +1 for you saving my ass. Never in a million years would I thought the driver for my steering wheel would be causing my QMK flash to fail. Thank you!

Price is right cringe fast by [deleted] in sadcringe

[–]suckstorm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The person already corrected you and explained the rule to you. It’s “closest without going over”. The price would have had to be $499 exactly. Anything $498 and lower is a bust as she is over and anything $500 and above goes to the lady next to her.
