The robots are coming, even for @danny_macaskill

In line for a table during the last day of business for a Lincoln Square institution, Cafe Selmarie! Thanks for all the great meals and memories!

Crazy that it's been a week (?) and Metra @OnTheMehtra still hasn't figured out how to make the Ventra App work. After a 15 minute delay while their servers spin and spin, with no result, I finally get to the purchase screen and get this. Is anyone competent trying to fix this?

Trying this again, Chicago, where can I get pfefferneusse?

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need: 1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks. 2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of. 3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles. 4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops. 5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of. 6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift. 7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care. 8. Sugar and flour are treats. 9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores. 10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some. 11. They rarely get fresh meat. 12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch. 13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef. 14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread. 15. Butter or margarine is nice too. 16. Eggs are a real commodity. 17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake. 18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated. 19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that. 20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing. In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

In 2017 Judge William H. Hooks gave the drunk, speeding driver who killed Groupon employee Bobby Cann on his bike only 10 days in jail. Hooks is up for reelection in the November 8 election. Here's a look at why his decision on the case was unjust. chi.streetsblog.org/2022/10/…

Happy national aviation day to @fly2ohare @fly2midway - #Chicago became largest US port of trade by value last year because of our great airports and we also have the most connected airport in North America! Huge driver of our economy and attractiveness to companies small & large

Whether geospatial data or just POD (plain old data) learning just a little SQL will take you a very long way. And SQL is likely to be here for a very long time, any time invested in learning SQL will pay benefits for years.

Ald. Samantha Nugent (39th) called the death of Taha Khan, 5, killed by a hit-and-run driver, a “devastating loss.” However, Ald. Nugent voted to allow 9 mph speeding near parks and schools, and reportedly won't let CDOT install speed humps in her ward. chi.streetsblog.org/2022/08/…
