Still relatively new to Chicago, whenever I've made that journey I've been slightly terrified due to the high traffic volume paired with inadequate bike infrastructure. Is there like a pedestrianized bridge along there somewhere that I've missed?
Edit: Thanks for ideas, I particularly liked crossing on Damen. Will try out the other suggestions in the future!
Obviously we still don't know what the video is for but I just wanted to put this out there in case there's more clues.
Don’t remember the exact position but here’s what matters. I’m playing as white. I move my h2 pawn to h4. Opponent plays f3!? I respond obviously with Brick x pipi. Opponent grimaces for a minute and continues with 9mm hollow point x pipi. Is this move legal? I hadn’t heard of this variation but I discussed it with him while I waited for the ambulance. He said “you’re lucky I didn’t kill you for throwing a brick at my cock.” I said “Google En Passant” and he said “Google En Pa-go fuck yourself you piece of shit”. I haven’t heard of this move and can’t find it on Google. Anybody familiar with FIDE regulations here? Still somewhat new to chess (161660 rating) so not sure
(sorry if the formatting is weird i’m on mobile!) i seriously had one of the craziest days of my life today and that included meeting 8 of the islanders! i saw someone post their impressions of them the other night (edit: credit goes to u/heels3223 !) so i thought i would do the same and recap tonight’s event.
so the people there tonight were cash, cinco, will, kyra, olivia, korey, trina, elly, jeremy, and bailey. i only met and got pictures with the first 8 since my friend didn’t really want to meet jeremy or bailey which is kinda a bummer bc i wanted to because i heard jeremy is really funny irl.
first person i met was cinco, he’s much more slim and tall in person and definitely handsome. all the girls there were dyingggg over him and he was super friendly and charismatic with everyone. willing to take pictures and even checked ours to make sure we all looked good lol. loved my interaction with him!
next i met will and kyra. they were standing off to the side bc not many people wanted to take pics which was kinda a bummer. kyra is tiny and much more quiet and reserved than she came off as on television. they asked us our names and where we were from which was nice because it felt more personal and like they wanted to get to know us.
next i met olivia, she’s definitely a girls girl who can banter with any girl she meets. i wasn’t a fan of hers on the show but she was pretty nice and offered pics right away. she also asked us personal questions and was chatty.
next i got in line to meet cash and i was NOT leaving without talking to my fave girl. she was obviously a crowd favorite but was SO humble and nice to everyone and took the time to actually chat with us about the show and even mentioned how she hadn’t watched the show completely yet and was asking us about whether or not they showed certain things. like she said she one time wore a strap around her face or something and was scared it was aired lol. she also went on about how much she likes cinco, she loves waking up with him and just looking at him (who wouldn’t tho…) then of course all of us wanted cinco to come over so we were able to get a picture with both cash and cinco and their chemistry is just tangible in person we were all obsessed. at one point my friend said they were a power couple and cash said “michelle and barack are shaking.” she was so much fun to talk to and it was like meeting a friend and not a celebrity, everyone was like that though!
next we met korey, someone i met tha
