@PaulMarcoe Nice so far! I set one up in my backyard a month ago and it looks like a cell tower with the feeders hanging from it. 😂

@RobHartWBBM @WBBM1059Traffic We had a scary one on the UP-W a couple years ago. Stroller with a balloon on the tracks. Engineer caught it, dumped the air, and stopped short. Thankfully benign. Not what anyone needed at 5:30a.

Today’s Metra UP Northwest delay (Train 632) is due to an “obstruction on the tracks” @WBBM1059Traffic

@airmainengineer ORD has always had the clockwise traffic flow. They are all about keeping things moving and safely as possible. Yeah it's annoying if you're a passenger, but trust me, it's there for design. There are exceptions in times of low traffic.

Ever notice planes sometimes do a big loop around the terminals before takeoff? ATC isn’t trying to waste time , they’re usually spacing aircraft safely, managing traffic flow, or fitting arrivals into the active runway pattern. It looks inefficient from the map, but it’s often the safest and fastest option overall. And this definitely isn’t the only flight that gets the “scenic tour.” 😄✈️

You ever tried going the wrong way in a busy roundabout?

@SurfGirl303 @gwoman9810 @StephenBright Although I never got that bad, I was pre-diabetic for years. Took is mildly seriously. All it took was a major knee surgery recovery to get me over the line. Now Type 2. I'm well controlled but that was the scare I needed.

Y’all my best friend was pre diabetic and never did anything about it then almost died this morning when she developed diabetic ketoacidosis. Thankfully she called 911 and is in the ICU. I just got home to get some rest. Please if you have pre diabetes take it seriously and do what your doctor tells you to do. You do not want your friends and family to see you like that 😭🩷

@chromatica99 I've had that thought. I definitely don't have the drive I used to have, but it never leaves me completely. It'll always be with you, just in modified forms.

After almost 12 years of photography, I’m putting serious thought into putting down my paintbrush for good.

The SECOND I put my phone down and walk away is always the second someone calls. 😡. Do you know how many times I’ve seen the doctors in the past 5 months. 😡😡😡😡

Always have to read “Warnings” and “Cautions” in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual. If not, things like this one can happen or even worse.

@the1redsparrow Depends on how old it is. I don't know the magical number, but after X amount of years, MacOS updates won't apply anymore. I feel like it may be 10 years but I could be wrong.

Do MacBooks have some sort of update or do I have to just fucking purchase a more recent one?

Do any Chicago meteorologist's have data on the wind this year? It sure has seemed way windier than I can ever remember, especially over the past month.
