1. Chicago's CTA gets a lot of shit, but it's still pretty reliable, quick, and somewhat clean.

  2. The trains are reasonably quick to go downtown or move around the loop. The busses stop every 400 feet and I can ride my bike faster. They could fix a lot of issues with express busses that have their own lanes.

  3. Totally! However Chicago really hobbled itself by selling their metered parking. They would have to pay the next 60 years of lost revenue on any spaces they remove for bus stops or bus lanes.

  4. That was an infuriatingly stupid, short sighted decision. It wouldn't surprise men if someone got a kickback.

  5. They're shit I dont care what anyone says. When your battery dies have fun with the 30k replacement. Good luck when you're late on a payment and your car drives itself back to the dealer.

  6. Should I sell my house because I live on a one-way street? Try driving your dumb EV the wrong way on a one-way street.

  7. When I left my partner of 10 years he told me he wished I'd told him things weren't going well for me so he'd had a chance to fix things. I said, "So when I told you that 'If I feel the same way I do now in 6 months I'm leaving you', that wasn't an indication that I was unhappy?"

  8. You didn't say "no cap" at the end so it was unclear. (Obviously I'm joking, but it's hard to come up with a more plausible explanation for not understanding you)

  9. No freedom unit lover would use periods for a number instead of commas. This guy is a fraud. Throw metric at him.

  10. As somebody who has owned a Ford Explorer, nobody falls in love with their Ford Explorer.

  11. Nah curl two dingos smash em together and repeat forever

  12. Unless you do it too hard and they fuse into a single, large dingo, releasing a huge amount of energy in the process and obliterating you.

  13. There’s not much research I can find on this, but there’s a consensus that coyotes aren’t consciously luring dogs with the intent to ambush. The belief instead is that dogs follow the coyotes out to the pack, and they coyotes will attack in defense

  14. TL10 says:

    Soul, Turning Red and Luca were good movies. Maybe not classic Pixar tier, but still enjoyable. Coco was probably the last Pixar movie in recent memory that was something truly special.

  15. Luca was so mediocre. I was surprised. Not bad, just completely unremarkable.

  16. Not quite as ridiculous in scale but similarly: was with a girl who was promoted to an hourly level, key-carrying lead role at a US retail chain. Every other week for four months straight the company paid for me to drive her to the airport, fly her to Dallas for the day for some training event, and back in the same day.

  17. This is the kind of thing I think of when people say that businesses are so efficient in a capitalist system.

  18. I doubt this will really change anything because like 95% of people will still get their battery changed at a store if it requires the slightest bit of risk by prying off a back glass panel for example

  19. This law would still be beneficial though. It would ensure that repair shops don't have to charge much labor for battery service and wouldn't risk breaking the phone.

  20. If its simple and can be done quickly i doubt most places would even charge for labor

  21. They'll charge if they can, it just wouldn't be much. Nothing is free nowadays:)

  22. Didn't the two guys have a gun? It's not like this is an interrupted larceny.

  23. (720 ILCS 5/7-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 7-3) Sec. 7-3. Use of force in defense of other property. (a) A person is justified in the use of force against another when and to the extent that he reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to prevent or terminate such other's trespass on or other tortious or criminal interference with either real property (other than a dwelling) or personal property, lawfully in his possession or in the possession of another who is a member of his immediate family or household or of a person whose property he has a legal duty to protect. However, he is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

  24. Every time people reply with it's not that bad based on per capita, I say but four thousand people get shot every year in Chicago and that is ok?

  25. You should clarify that you feel that way about every major city, because that's legit.

  26. Not really, we just have a high population. Look at cases of violence per capita. Plus the guns oftentimes come from our neighboring states.

  27. The US had the high moral ground and they lost it. This country, the US, has zero right to say they want to make life better for any other country in the world until they handle their own embarrassing hypocrisy domestically at home.

  28. I'm not saying the US is flying in on angel wings. Heck, we shouldn't have invaded at all - Bin Laden was in Pakistan within months. All I'm saying is that china is gonna make zero effort to set up a democracy or benefit the average person, they'll just get resources. Am I wrong?

  29. China is not going to set up a democracy or pretend to care about women or sodomized children. What they may possibly do is provide some kind of stability to the region for their own needs.

  30. The US isn't perfect, but I'm still gonna put it ahead of China. You're right about nobody caring for doing the right thing though.

  31. Motorcycle is legally in a turning lane. Car made an abrupt lane change with no signal or head check. Car is completely in the wrong.

  32. Reddit: THIS GUY IS DUMB AS FUCK AND DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING!!!!!

  33. Stop wasting so much money on jail, cops, and bio-carceral measures. Start spending to build good, publicly-accessible healthcare and education, and to provide people with a meaningful social safety net.

  34. I mostly agree, but there will always be a small number of people who just will not do the right thing, even if we make it easy. Some people legitimately just suck.

  35. Great idea it's only rich people with evs anyways. They can afford it and more.

  36. Not sure if you've looked at EV prices but they're middle class accessible now.

  37. Lol, they are rich as well. They just don't own as many boats and space ships as Elon and the other oligarchs.

  38. I guess everyone in a first world country is rich compared to Yemen or something. I'm in the US, which is obviously very relevant. Sorry.

  39. My roommate in college didn't read and I didn't understand why. He said when he reads, he doesn't visualize any of it in his head. He didn't see an image of battles or castles or anything. It blew my mind but I completely understood why he didn't read.

  40. I am insanely paranoid of my car crushing me. Whenever I work under it I make sure I have two jackstands, the hydraulic jack and two tires under it. That's five layers and I'm still sacred.

  41. Your car knows you fear it now and it awaits an opportunity. It's probably reading this thread right now.

  42. The gold dust is for the final sword upgrade, which is permanent, even after resetting.

  43. But if you have the dust and time resets the dust disappears! I saw the dust fly out as time reset. Gah, you re-traumatized me 😭 Why did I bring it up?

  44. If you have the dust and didn't trade it in for the sword I can't help you after the fact lol

  45. I appreciate the sympathy. If I had sold it I would have also been mad.

  46. I binged it all in a few days, was perhaps not the healthiest choice but such a great show

  47. Binging that show and being unhealthy addicted to it is kinda meta-Bojack 🙂

  48. These were literally the doors that inspired Tolkien to create the doors of Moria

  49. Salaries and benefits are the number one biggest expense. If they want people who can negotiate, then the candidate negotiating their own salary is essentially a job test, an audition, a screen test. And it establishes the base salary that will affect (not dictate) their future salaries going forth. Every new position, every new job is an opportunity to reset the base salary. You get the opportunity for much bigger salary bumps when switching jobs or taking new positions in the same organization. The HR manager is absolutely correct.

  50. That's a decent point for jobs which involve negotiation. It's not a fair point for any job which doesn't. A coder or chef negotiates nothing so why does their salary depend on it?
