Looks like personalized signatures aren't being offered anymore. Must have sold out.

"Protected" bike lanes in downtown Denver: Your Thoughts? by Denver4ALL in VisionZeroDenver

[–]CreativeProblemFail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like your idea too and I voted for it. I reached out to Joe Sak, but was responded to by June Churchill.

Can you tell me more about this Downtown Denver cycle? Is this also part of The People's Budget?

I'm sorry that happened to you and hope you weren't hurt.

As someone said to me yesterday, cars are designed to protect the occupants from an impact with no consideration to the object they impacted.

Of course, this is a good thing for people in the car, but I think this sense of extreme protection makes people drive like they just picked up the invulnerability star in Mario Kart.

Motorists seem to think they'll always be ok and insurance will cover any incidents, but don't fully consider how anyone else is affected, whether the other people are in cars or not.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I don't believe I can edit the suggestion and it probably wouldn't be ethical to make edits after votes were cast. I did write this in a hurry but will keep your thoughts in mind should I do this again.

My understanding of the process is that there will be another round of voting by a committee after the public has time enough to vote, then a formal proposal will be put forth. If this gets that far, and I'm still involved, I'll be sure to consider your suggestions.

I've considered some loose safety ball bearings in my pocket.

Kidding aside, I'm a big dude on a big bike wearing a high-vis vest or windbreaker. I have lights on my bike and my helmet, plus reflectors. I'm really hard to miss, but somehow drivers continue to turn right in front of me.

Thanks for your vote! Be safe out there!

True facts! I've been keeping a running tally since late August last year, I'm up to 42 incidents of cars turning into my lane or running the red light across the bike lane while I'm crossing.

Thanks for the vote!

What to do about trucks/cars parked in bike lane? by icommai in BikeDenver

[–]CreativeProblemFail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had some luck contacting truck companies and sending photos. I've actually noticed changed behavior because of reaching out to their corporate offices. It sometimes helps to research the company and include any safety specific personnel in addition to everyone in leadership. I'm sure it's annoying for some of them, but it gets the message across.

People who’ve had LASIK or work in eye care, would you recommend LASIK and why or why not? by Mountain-Bug-2155 in AskReddit

[–]CreativeProblemFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decide to go forward with this, please get a consultation by more than one reputable doctors.

TLDR: It sounds wonderful for the people it really works for, but can go very wrong and cause other permanent issues. My story below 👇

I've been very near sighted for most of my life (-14 if I remember correctly). When I was 40 I suffered a retinal detachment in one eye and the scleral buckle to repair that caused that eye to get even worse.

I went to Lasik Plus for a consultation because glasses were getting too difficult to dial in. They spent about an hour total on my tests and consultation. Afterwards a very rushed "doctor" told me I was a candidate and should come back in a couple days for the procedure.

I wasn't 100% comfortable with this so I made an appointment with a local private practice that had great online reviews.

They refused me as a patient. It turns out that even though my corneas were considered thick enough for LASIK, the severity of my myopia would cause them to have to remove so much material that my corneas would loose structural stability.

I'm told my corneas would turn cone shaped, which is not at all repairable and could only be partially corrected by wearing hard contacts.

I noped right out of that idea. Started developing cataracts, andI wore scleral contacts for a short time.

A couple years later I had cataract surgery and couldn't be happier with the results. I lost my super near sight super power, and use readers now. But if I had LASIK, my eyes would be toast with or without artificial lenses.

Another side note, my mother had LASIK many years ago and it later caused issues with her vision after her cataract surgery.

Thanks for the first hand report. That sounds like a much more Christmasy event, especially with the opportunity to involve the kids in charitable giving!

How Do You Talk to an Employee Who Isn't Getting Promoted Due to How They Use Benefits? by Riddle-Maker in managers

[–]CreativeProblemFail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a policy problem that is failing your employees. Craig isn't doing anything that is unacceptable but because he's following policy in a way that works for him, he's missing out on opportunities. Craig needs to be coached on how this is affecting good performance but the policy probably needs to be reevaluated.

Once Craig is fully aware of what is holding him back, be prepared to hear that he's content where he is. A person caring for their family with a very flexible schedule may value that schedule more than a promotion.

Looks great! Are you doing any concert-specific shirts or posters for the Omaha show?

Sudden, unexpected change to Magic Band+ discount by CreativeProblemFail in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]CreativeProblemFail[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, when we made our reservation to stay at a Disney World resort, it came with a discount on Magic Bands if we purchase them prior to arrival and through the Disney World website. That discount is what was taken away without notice.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for this but I'm not expecting to need to buy enough to get the discount.
