I think maybe we need to study the ways of Joey Chestnut so that our stomachs can expand to a great volume when needed

I think we did the best we could. Hard to think of better way to consume calories as quickly as possible than eating really good deep dish

Hell yeah brother, Moby Dick rules. I should have known based on how much I enjoyed reading Bartleby the Scrivener in a high school English class that Melville's longer work would be a very good time. I should have read it sooner!

Agree on annexing/liberating them, but then can we liberate ourselves by having Illinois join eastern time?

I'd settle for Amtrak just running an extra train or two per day down there, especially on Fridays and Sundays. Loads of people from Champaign/Carbondale go up to Chicago for the weekend.

Feels a bit like the right saying "if you release the Epstein files to hurt Trump, it'll hurt Bill Clinton, too." That's not a problem, it's a bonus!

One of the keys to simplifying this is that there are only a few places where a transfer really makes sense:
1. Line termini to other lines and vice versa (i.e. brown kimball to blue Jeff park/ belmont)
2. stations immediately before/after interlining, like Halsted, king dr, Garfield on green

I've planned routes out using maps and schedules a few times. I really wish cta's official printed schedules listed all runs rather than just vague headway intervals because it requires using gtfs or tons of calls to a transit routing engine to get precise times.

Not really, because the travel times between the nodes are not constants; they vary based on the transit schedules. Transit speed run routing is effectively a TSP with a time-varying cost graph

People who are genuinely interested in the science of lifting would be much better served by reading the body of work by Greg Nuckols and co at Stronger By Science than by watching Mike Israetel. They do lean more towards info for powerlifting than bodybuilding which is also a plus imo

I do kinda want renumber the south side streets. It's maddening that we went through the trouble of renaming/numbering all our streets once, but didn't apply the "800 addresses= 1 mile" for the first 3 miles south of Madison like we did everywhere else

Unfortunately this reasonable goal conflicts with another reasonable goal: having south side bus routes use the same number as their street. Basically all the major east-west streets with bus service south of cermak are on odd-numbered streets

I almost never take the ME because the 6 comes every 10 minutes while I always have to check the ME schedule. It makes no sense that we have two quad tracked electrified railroads in this city and one of them runs trains at subway frequencies and the other runs at commuter rail frequencies.

Correction: it's $70 per semester, not academic year.

This in turn means that the costs of rides and yearly passes to non students can be way lower than they otherwise would be.

The reason the system is so well funded is because every student at UIUC pays $70 in fees per academic year that go directly to CUMTD. So that means you have over 20% of the population of Champaign-Urbana paying more than the yearly pass amount into CUMTD.
