The others said everything I would have. Ill add the bike lane on dearborn is a lot of fun for riding through downtown.

Be sure to checkout [email protected] I have a decent list of resources in the side bar, including the offical bike maps and the popular Mellow Streets Map.

Happy riding!

If you want a good sense of how bad it is in the states here are two episodes of Freakomomics that do a job of exposing the issue.

“The Perfect Crime”: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-perfect-crime/ (From 2014)

Then a follow-up episode: “Why Is the U.S. So Good at Killing Pedestrians?”: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/why-is-the-u-s-so-good-at-killing-pedestrians/ (from July 2023)

Save A Lot locations under the ownership of a company called Yellow Banana have opened on the South Side and the West Side. Save A Lot locations have closed unexpectedly, and Yellow Banana owners have acknowledged poor store conditions and expired foods. A location closed briefly in 2022 due to a rat infestation.

Not a day goes by I don’t appreciate being walking distance from a Pete’s.

Damn this blew up! (I removed the comments with the really annoying/over-the-top emotes. )

Im not pretending to be an expert in city planning but lowering the default limit seems like a good place to start.

People still driving crazy? Advocate for a camera(both replies i got said it was the only way it’s enforced and I agree, and lets not bring a cop with a gun into every speeding violation), or for traffic calming devices(speed bumps, narrowing streets with bollards, etc) . If you make it harder to speed on side streets people are going to go back to the thoroughfares as it should be and enforcing those lower limits elsewhere becomes less of an issue.

I’m just spitballing.

Ive been thinking about the city speed limit since that report came out in June. 30 absolutely too high, it should really be 25 or even 20, especially on residential streets.

Chicago ranked 161st out of 163 big cities and scored a seven out of 100. Speed limits tanked the city’s bikeability. The report’s analysis considers streets with a 30 mph speed limit — a standard for most Chicago streets — or higher as unsafe for cycling.

“The person who wrote the People For Bikes report told Streetsblog last year that if Chicago had a 25 mph speed limit, we would shoot up to being the 15th best city in the U.S. in their rankings.”

The Federal Highway Administration has found that a car traveling 30 mph that hits a pedestrian has a 45% chance of killing or seriously injuring them, while at 20 mph, the likelihood of death drops to 5%

This wouldn’t be distracting at all 😻

I think she made the right call

This is so stupid.

Im an avid siri user, yeah it doesnt get it right all the time but its super useful for homekit and helpful in the kitchen. I couldn’t imagine them just abandoning it without introducing an alternative.

“What this tells us is that voters see DeSantis as the sort of guy who could really just spend a whole evening nursing a Heineken alone in a dark corner of a bar"

Finally! A candidate I can relate with.

Youre good! I use calibre to load ebooks from other sources to my kindle

Griffin doing okay?

Nubya Garcia, she’s part of the blossoming London scene right now. She’s the real deal, no doubt about it. I had the incredible experience of seeing her play live last summer in Chicago and its was phenomenal.

Her Tiny Desk is one of the best. Source, the lead track, is probably my favorite of her’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTIZikaOTDE

A French station, amazing! TSF is definitely going into the rotation. I’ll be checking out KCSM later today as well, California seems to have a pretty healthy jazz radio scene, love to see it.

Thanks for the shares!

Oh nice, just added it to Foobar, thank you! I’ll have to check out some of Jose’s programs later, “Bop, Straight Ahead” sounds promising.

Oh hell yeah! Did you follow a recipe for the crust dough?

Where does David stand on belly rubs, because that belly is just asking for them.

Private trackers have a smaller footprint and are less attractive to LE than the bigger public ones. ISPs may not be tracking traffic to the smaller sites either so you’re probably less likely to get one of those annoying “we know what you’re doing” letters using a private. Being invite only restricts the amount of bad actors(LE) that get in too.

Private trackers also have rules around seeding and have incentives to encourage more seeding, so they tend to have a good amount of them across all sorts of content.

As for anime trackers, thats out of my wheelhouse, but any good private general tracker should a decent anime collection.

Just my two cents
