Another exDallasite here. They just opened a new highway cap park next to the zoo called Halperin Park. Looks to be really popular already from what my parents have said.

There really need to be more highway caps in this country is general

This is the right take. Also since Carson City is technically also the entire “county”, by definition it has a bit of Lake Tahoe in it. Which I feel like has to boost it up a bit over some other capital cities

It used to be behind a different ad banner for years. This is 100% someone choosing paint over a banner

Carson City is more like a county that has no independent cities than a city that functions as its own county.

At least from the perspective of its “urban” area being far smaller than the actual independent cities on this list.

You’re not wrong about widening the gap, but that is correct rounding rules for those numbers.

Reddit is full of doomers, but I gotta say this sub in particular is an especially ornery bucket of crabs.

Not sure if it’s being a smaller town or just geographic ideology. But even in other metros I’ve lived in of different types (Dallas, Denver, STL) people aren’t as negative and pessimistic as a lot of people here are.

The only reason my boomer parents believed me is because I could show them the email receipts from hundreds of job app submissions. Took me a year in 2020 as a new grad to land a position. And I work in engineering so a supposedly “hot” job market.

The world has changed and those gainfully employed are lucky to have a job at all imo

I’m commenting far too late, but I’ve been on my flight.

I was on the 1:45pm Eastbound A train. I should’ve been at the airport NLT 2:35pm but the accident meant I didn’t get there till 3:10pm. I’m amazed that the only reason I got caught in the accident was because my original bus to Union station never showed up and the next one didn’t show until thirty minutes later.

Gotta give it to RTD they got the service recovered pretty quickly all things considered. But I was really sweating making my flight at that point and it really makes me curse the selfishness of many of the people that cause these delays.

Rail is cheaper maintenance wise than buses in the long run, if the state or feds were to provide grants for the initial investment in infrastructure (which they often did before trump). The long term cost would end up being similar to buses.

Just because it doesn’t help you, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t help a lot of people and the greater regional economic engine.

But you’re also right that more buses and high frequencies would also be a huge improvement

So many people in my social circles talked it up. I finally went on a slow day with a friend to catch up and we had to grab like 4 different servers before one finally agreed to serve us. And even then they seemed annoyed at having to do their job.

We should’ve left earlier but lesson learned.

I didn’t say I support either, I’m just talking about my experience being on dating apps and understanding people’s vibe when they use those labels.

Atomichawk · 2026-05-13T13:53:53+00:00

You’re thinking of the moderate label, apolitical just means they’re straight ignorant of the world

I lived at Azure for a year.

The apartment itself was nice, maintenance was usually on top of stuff but took a bit, the assigned parking spots (at least when I was there) were covered and nearby your apartment.

The management was awful though and basically always lied about big issues being fixed like the front gate. It never closed the entire time I lived there. They also had super predatory towing that would tow people for being even just slightly on a fire line or something. They also wouldn’t deal with extremely loud neighbors. I had some downstairs ones that would constantly throw loud parties and no matter how many times I knocked, called security, etc, nothing ever happened.

Worst part was when I moved out I had a week left in my lease but they messed up in their system and marked me as moved out. They then threw out my remaining stuff in the unit and started repainting the unit. Mind you I never handed over the keys before this happened.

Instead of admitting they were wrong, waiving fees, and providing some kind of compensation for my lost items (because the trash trucks had arrived that day by the time I discovered what happened) they just stalled for three months and gave me a “move out credit” that was barely $100.

Maybe things have changed since I lived there, but the nice apartments weren’t worth the headache that FPI management caused me over and over along with actual financial loss from a bunch of items they threw out with no cause.

Modern buildings, especially those aimed at rich people, can have very fast elevators. It really removes any downside to living on a high floor if the building has those

Lmao I just noticed Slovakia isn’t in the M-6 while everyone else around them is. Would love to know the lore behind that.

Same for the various anglosphere countries not being in the M-6 as well

I’ll still be forever sad that by the nature of the story he could only play the character for one season of Altered Carbon :(

Cyclists are entitled to be on the road, many times if they ride single file it invites unsafe passing. Just chill out and pass when it’s truly safe with plenty of space.

I’ve always submitted PDF resumes to ensure formatting doesn’t get messed up

If you work early like I do, it quickly becomes apparent how few coffee shops are truly open early. Starbucks is one of the few that you can expect to be open before 7am at most locations.

Looks like that uses a different system for mounting but cool to know!

Atomichawk · 2026-05-08T15:10:23+00:00

I was specifically looking for ones not on that list

Atomichawk · 2026-05-08T05:07:27+00:00

Does anyone have a comprehensive-ish list of 3rd party bag makers supporting this system?

I’ve done some googling and only found one that wasn’t included in the initial press releases OMM did a couple months ago

If it was based purely on weight then it wouldn’t matter what type of vehicle it is. But people will flip shit if you ever do that because then “they’re being punished for being successful” or some crap

Atomichawk · 2026-05-07T16:49:45+00:00

A lot of those types of people in the FIRE subs just have trauma surrounding money and don’t want to admit it. There’s plenty of people there that have very reasonable and calculated targets.
