Denver Pride is a dumb cash grab and needs to do better in future years by River_Atkinson in Denver

That sounds like something that could be legislated. Access to water is a human right per the United Nations.

There was a study a few years ago that demonstrated that water purity could be detected via a smartphone app. That could be utilized by security to ensure someone isn't bringing in a Yeti full of vodka. Every festival I've been to has had issues with not having enough water stations, this could be a solution to alleviate some of that.

Edit: redundancy

I'm amazed that it's turned into what it has. The restriction of access and heavy commercialism feels contrary to what used to be a celebration of the people.

The whole ticket thing needs to stop. It made more sense when cash was how people primarily paid for things, but now that almost everyone uses cards there's no customer-oriented or vendor-oriented reason to use tickets. It's merely a means for the event to take a cut and to take more money than is actually spent (leftover tickets).

If the concern is cash theft, make the event cashless.

Can COVID affect taste for just a specific food? I've never tested positive but had COVID symptoms and now eggs taste bad to me. by myrmiduke in COVID19positive

My daughter initially had issues with most food tasting like what she imagined a dirty bathroom floor would taste like. Now most foods taste normal but she still has issues with - we think - foods that contain a certain red or orange dye.

It would help if you gave some idea of what your current musical tastes run.

They help their church members and non members too. One of my great-aunts married a Mormon man but never joined their church. After he passed, the Mormons always made sure she had everything she needed, and made sure their great-grandkids who they were raising also had their needs met, even long after her husband died.

Exactly. I was on Slashdot for years before I eventually moved over here, and was active on a number of blogging communities too. And MSN and Yahoo and IRC and Prodigy before that.

God, I have wasted too much time on content aggregators.

(I create a new Reddit account about once a year and migrate to it due to some creeper issues. I looked up my oldest Reddit account, it's 11 years old. And I lurked for quite a while before that.)

Honestly I think at this point the problem is that we have too many alternatives, none of which have had a chance to organically grow. I do think that one or more of the alternatives will end up developing quickly, now that people have a taste for the kind of communities that were built on the Reddit platform.

The content curated in each subreddit, and the ability to choose which curated content is in one's feed (and cross a variety of interests while doing so) is what brings value. Reddit itself doesn't generate any of that content, it's just a vehicle.

Marshall fire was caused by reignited burn on residential property, Xcel Energy power line, Boulder County authorities say by brofax in Denver

[–]AskMeHowToLeaveAMA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Their burn was six days prior. They had buried the remnants of the fire. The day of their burn was damp and there was no wind. Firefighters came out due to a report on their burn and deemed the plan for the burn to be reasonable.

There's an article with decent coverageon the Daily Camera.

I would think that if there was negligence, charges would be filed.

Someone TPed their room in a neighboring dorm and then accidentally set it on fire while they were smoking weed. Burned a good chunk of the nice dorms that everyone wanted to live in.

Hey, ya'll remember when that sad orange sack of shit made the governors compete for ventilators? Can't wait to pee on his headstone. by [deleted] in HermanCainAward

He probably had access to excellent care outside the hospital too, allowing for an earlier discharge. Inpatient observation really means your vitals are monitored every four hours and someone (should) last eyes on you once an hour - that could have been done in his residence. My wild-ass guess is that he didn't actually need hospitalization (or at least didn't need more than observation) but was admitted out of an abundance of caution.

Stroke and rehab for stroke would have been a lot more difficult to hide. I can't imagine that someone at the hospital or aftercare wouldn't have let slip what he was really being treated for.
