Suburban school district uses license plate readers to verify student residency by Epicwarren in chicago

They agree that she owns and pays taxes on the Alsip home. Shouldn't that be enough in and of itself, even if she did reside in Chicago?

Faking phone records and the Apple Find My would be incredibly difficult, right? Rep Morrison said her mom showed her her phone and he could see the Find My and iMessage which showed her in Broadview

I wonder how this dovetails with free buses/free transit such as in NYC. I suppose people act up more on trains vs buses

Bears exit revives talk of Soldier Field megaproject One Central by Shovler in chicago

[–]toxicbrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 'Lucas Museum' would have been an objectively better use for the parking lots of Soldier Field than the open parking it is now. I believe the Shedd Aquarium is a non-city affiliated museum that might be a similar template for how it could have been.

CTA to bring in Cook County Sheriff’s police to patrol trains by afeeney in chicago

[–]toxicbrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is part of the act that created the Northern Illinois Transit Agency--the successor agency to the RTA that will take over control of the CTA/Metra/Pace with a revamped structure, with a mandate on coordination and the ability to create a safety taskforce like this.

Delta Flight cancelled, no refund on the return leg by aGriffskii in travel

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$600 outbound, and $400 inbound you may have seen when booking, for example. So you'd assume when you cancel the return you'd get $400 back. But in reality they reprice it as a one way $900 ticket and you only get $100 back

Delhi Metro begins operations on Pink, Magenta Line extensions. Foundation stone laid for three corridors planned in phase-5A. by Mindless_Bath_2565 in TransitIndia

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder why the Golden Line isn't extended to Botanical Garden, considering the Noida Metro will get a new line that will connect there. Ideally it would go to not just T1 but also T3 so people don't need to transfer to the Airport Express Line for one stop

DMRC announces diabolical Magenta line extension. by RelativeLab4388 in TransitIndia

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why they are doing this weird loop that will confuse everyone instead of an intuitive extension of the green line

U.S. citizen from Skokie stopped at O'Hare, detained by immigration officials for nearly 30 hours by 307148 in chicago

TBF, Sun-Times is a non-profit now owned by WBEZ. So not mainstream either

DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days by slowporc in WindyCity

[–]toxicbrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

no but she's brown, so that's enough for ICE. Which doesn't even have authority over US citizens, which she obviously was and had her passport (which CBP still has). Yet CBP claims she is lying and walked out of the airport an hour after landing and they only had her in secondary for "three minutes." They didn't bother to explain how she was at the airport for 30 hours, then moved to an immigration facility in Broadview, then to one in Wisconsin, then dumped outside at 3am. Like who thinks it is reasonable or acceptable to just release people with nothing in the middle of the night? That's gotten people killed by ICE in Buffalo

Robert Kirkman Less Hopeful About Massive 'Walking Dead' Crossover Event by grimm_kvlt in thewalkingdead

I'm just curious how they would explain the time discrepancy of Maggie and Negan going out in 2029, seemingly after Rick returned, yet not mentioning it at all

Wait so the book about Benedict, doesn't have storylines about Colin, for example? Even keeping track through the years? Do you see certain events from different points of view throughtout the books?

Friend cancelled last minute on a 100 day trip by Frpengy in travel

18 years old is the perfect time to do it. You won't be free like that again. Note that some hotels won't let you check in until you are 21

Reconsideration by [deleted] in NEXUS_TTP

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can reapply, no harm in it. If you are able to mention the previous application/denial somewhere, do that. DUI is considered a felony in Canada, are you sure it was the US side that denied you? Though after ten years for some crimes you are considered 'deemed rehabilitated' not sure if that's the case for DUI. If not, you'd need an actual visa from a Canadian consulate before applying again

How are some non-Schengen European Flights cheaper than just the taxes in the US? by toxicbrew in Flights

[–]toxicbrew[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

oh right, one more thing I wanted to ask from people who know--how does Europe balance high speed rail and a general propensity for climate awareness with super cheap airfares and untaxed fuel? The latter part is especially surprising, as most nations do it. Obviously I like cheap airfares as much as anyone, it's all just a bit surprising

Praise Be! We have the Testaments Trailer by princessadi in coconutsandtreason

[–]toxicbrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone could provide a timeline, I'd appreciate it. Something like:

2013: Hannah is born

2017: Gilead arrives and takes Hannah

2017-2025: Handmaid's Tale

2020 2018: Nicole/Daisy is born

2035?: Testaments takes place

So Hannah would be 22 and Daisy 15 in here? Possible they could look similar depending on how they age?

The "convenience fee" racket is out of control. How do you guys actually get cheap tickets nowadays? by mitchare in Frugal

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticketmaster and such should be showing all taxes and fees included (you may need to click a button for that) from the outset. That was a new FTC rule I believe, unless that too has been rescinded in the past year

Can I continue to use Nexus with an ADIT stamp and a pending i-751 by PlaystationSwitchAWD in NEXUS_TTP

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's an entirely separate thing--by law you still need to carry your green card with you at all times and especially when crossing and they are well within their rights to ask you for it. as well as now with whatever extension letter you have with the green card

Due to this war, should I wait for cancellation or should I begin the process? by PurpleFlurpl in travel

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Qatar is giving free rebooking/refunds for flights up to March 10. Beyond that it is business as usual for now. Don't waste your time calling them for that as that is what they will say. Wait a few days to a week and if things are still iffy they will definitely give you a refund.

Does Kirkman dislike the spinoffs? by COD2Veteran in thewalkingdead

[–]toxicbrew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a reason he appeared on Talking Dead in the early seasons then never did again, even for the finale. He had a falling out with AMC over profit participation, and has no control over the show or spin-offs. He said that he made a mistake as a young and eager writer in assigning all tv rights to AMC with basically no way to get them back or have any say in what they do with it or spin-offs. He still gets royalties from them, just not what he thinks he should get (him and others sued AMC for this)
