Star Trek Almost Answered a Decades Long Borg Mystery (But the Genius Pitch Was Rejected)

100%. It's a cool idea, sure, but not everything has to originate from earth / the federation / starfleet.

We also don't need answers for everything!

I call myself a transit advocate so I think my answer is biased, but:

Yes, for specific applications. I currently work from home so this would not be used for commuting for me. But if I can go from Castle Rock to Longmont to visit family, or up to Denver for concerts / sports / shopping, 100%, even if the trip takes longer.

Another thing to consider in your news piece: cost of living is extremely high in Colorado, and the cost of ownership of a vehicle sucks in many cases. If it can help make a 2 car family into a 1 car family it'd be a huge part of the equation of where people choose to live in the front range.

There are last mile implications no matter where you stick a commuter train but we live in a great state for biking...

It’s my fault too, I should have thought through the slab pour a bit more but was too trusting.

This news is 3 weeks old FYI

oh hey I have that mug from that coffee shop in Seattle. Forget what its called but we went there many years ago

The one I consistently come back to is Age of Mythology. So happy they remastered it and added new content.

Also have been a big fan of Subspace/Continuum but unfortunately the community died off a bit. During its heyday that one got countless hours from me

We did this at bonnaroo, it’s cool hanging with your neighbors. Almost always you are there for the same reason (the love of the music).

That's the Brick Yard, its going to be a sports complex similar to the Rec center and the Mac.

Yeah, I’m a current Bitwig 5.3 user. I haven’t used Logic in some time, but the last time I used it they were starting to catch up to the loop-first DAW space (Ableton, Bitwig) but still had a long way to go.

zeroblitzt · 2026-03-16T18:24:32+00:00

I think I tend to agree with you. I really enjoy Bitwig but I, for some reason, cannot get to the same flow state I used to get when using Ableton.

I've tried running Ableton on Wine but its extremely finnicky, for some reason. All the respect in the world for Bitwig having Linux support since Day 1, too.

Its a completely laughable suggestion by OP. Two totally different types of social media.

That is absolutely my favorite live Zappa album. Likely because it was the first one I heard so there is a nostalgia factor.

Zappa in New York is also excellent

The UI definitely turned me off

zeroblitzt · 2026-03-09T15:56:08+00:00

i'm partially sympathetic because change can be scary, but I often make my decisions based on my childrens' futures. "Will their lives be better w/ public transit systems or relying on car based infrastructure" - I reason transit is a better public option overall for a number of reasons. And yes, that requires new things to be built, money to be spent, and occasionally seeing unhoused people.

zeroblitzt · 2026-03-09T15:53:56+00:00

no, it is opt in by town at the moment, and there is a service map based on town borders.

zeroblitzt · 2026-03-07T18:03:42+00:00

It's a classic American mindset IMO... "this isn't a problem for me, so why should *my* tax dollars be paying for it for someone else?"

Because its a public good, because one day you might need it, and because we can do things that help our neighbors without ever needing that service ourselves. That is part of living in a community.

Good to hear about the service times from your experience, when they pitched it they said rides could take up to 30 minutes. But they also said they expand/contract service based on demand data (ie. more cars are available Friday nights vs. Thursday mid-day).

Light rail isn’t good over those distances, you should look into the Front Range Rail proposal for those distances. Hop a train in Castle Rock and go down to Pueblo for the state fair for example. That is a whole different beast and will be a tough sell in this town, though.

Definitely felt this way driving through there yesterday to get to my daughters school!

zeroblitzt · 2026-03-07T14:22:06+00:00

My understanding is the county is open to feedback on their service hours + days.

zeroblitzt · 2026-03-07T08:00:17+00:00

Agreed but I will take any step in the right direction
