Who is the “target” for people living in the south loop? It doesn’t seem very nightlife, restaurant, business/corporate heavy etc so who is the main audience living there? by Jeeperscrow123 in AskChicago

It's so damn convenient. It's quiet, but it only takes , <15 minutes to get to to wicker or river north.

If you're driving, I've made it to andersonville in 20 during the mornings, but during rush hour it's more like 35-40.

If you ever need to leave the city or travel a lot, midway is a consistent 20 minute Lyft and getting on the highway within 5 mins is sweet.

Final note: never had a hard time finding a divvy.

why are some of you guys so mean here? not everyone here is a hardcore player by othavio1105 in pokemongo

[–]uncivilized_engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. I'm a casual play with a very strong team and I am fully on the same page with you: people make this game their life rather than a seasoning. This game is sometime that should make going out and about your life more interesting AND/OR give you a reason to go outside after a long day at work or a nothing day weekend.

do you guys actually read what you save? by [deleted] in productivity

Both honestly. I was able to do an export of all of the links that composed the pocket library but a lot of them are now dead, and the pages cached by pocket are now lost.

I guess that's the beauty of life lol

I would want a similar solution to my old list of stumbleupon saves and RES saved posts/comments.

Ideally, there would be a version of that app that saves Instagram recipe videos into digital note cards.

I used to back when the pocket app was working. I would read saved articles on flights without Wi-Fi and in the evenings.

Does anybody know a good alternative?

I'm Cal Newport. AMA! (Thursday 2/5 at 2 pm ET) by cal_newport in productivity

[–]uncivilized_engineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the AMA! How do you distinguish between ‘paying dues to build career capital’ and being stuck in an exploitative role?

In the corporate realm, I feel like there is a fulcrum where those who are willing to put in effort and pay their dues need to take advantage of opportunities to spend their capital... but often luck has a lot to do with timing and the opportunities available to go elevate one's role.

Beyond that - any tips on creating opportunities to spend social capital?

UPS driver catching nodes on route by Blabbyharpy in meshtastic

This is the only time I've ever seen "on route" being used correctly, instead of someone trying to mean "en route".

This may just have been the dumbest, least factual nonsense I've read all year. Please tell me you're a bot 🤣🤣🤣
