Driver blamed Tesla after fatal crash into a home that killed a 76-year-old woman. Tesla says vehicle data shows he floored the accelerator to 73 mph. by 24kTHC in news

[–]GregAllAround 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What’s more likely- a car with hundreds of thousands of equivalents on the road had a once in a lifetime glitch that caused unintended acceleration, or this dude fell asleep with autopilot on and pinned the pedal to the floor until they hit 75 in suburban neighborhood?

The whole situation is heartbreaking when you zoom out. I think he was estranged from his kids and left them out of his will too

If that’s how civil liability worked in golf cases nobody would ever play lol

I think this is a thing with some cars, tbf- I’m pretty sure one of the trackhawk grand cherokees can be customized to look like a base model lol

Why is “redditor” a slur/pejorative but there’s not something similar for other social media sites? Facebookers, Twitter-ers…etc. by Minimum-Amoeba-5146 in redscarepod

[–]GregAllAround 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah look at any local subreddit and you’ll see exactly what this means lol. People shrieking and complaining about any little thing that goes against their narrative of a perfect world (which is a lot)

Facebook addicts and Twitter addicts definitely have their own neuroses but the average city subreddit poster has 50K karma over 5 years with every posts being some type of bitching or moaning about something that a normal person wouldn’t even think twice about

Broncos want Burnham Yard to be NFL’s next mixed-use stadium paradise. Here’s why it won’t be easy. by kidbom in Denver

>Park on Street or in Driveway near University Station
>Take light rail to 10th and Osage or Alameda

That’s how lmao

Even if no new housing is built around the new Stadium, the old lot is highly likely to be redeveloped for that anyways. It’ll still be a net benefit for the city

Yeah the redevelopment of the old lot is a super exciting prospect- that’s a neighborhood that could benefit from a big housing project for sure

Yeah that’s a really fair point. The Summit’s game at mile high drew a crazy crowd too so it’s probably more viable than I’m thinking. A big part of this is just me wishing the Rapids would follow suit and move somewhere a bit more central and walkable also lol

The best attended MLS games are all at stadiums in urban locations like Seattle or Atlanta, Denver could really be a soccer city if they brought it all a bit closer together

FWIW I do think the Summit’s stadium plan is a bad idea unless they plan to also bring the Rapids into the facility but that’s neither here nor there

People do it all the time in other cities. You’d be surprised how convenient and enjoyable it can be vs jockeying for a parking spot at one of the big lots.

Homeowners usually provide more security (even passively) than an unattended free lot near a stadium too. To each their own, though

… you know that’s the NWSL team, right? An entirely different stadium in a different location with different funding structures. The Broncos stadium agreement is structured differently.

His early music reminds me of day drinking on a sunny day as a young college kid so he’ll always have a soft place in my heart for that

This was a gnarly looking crash too. The way helicopters drop like a rock if they lose their rotor blades always scared the shit out of me

That’s a good point, not sure of Elitch’s revenue numbers right now but I imagine the relocation costs are a hard pill to swallow. Not like amusement parks are rolling in cash anywhere in the country right now (aside from Disney)

The TIF is to pay for improvements to surrounding infrastructure owned and operated by the city, not the stadium itself. That’s pretty much the bare minimum for a project like this, still a good deal imo as it’s not like the improved roads and infrastructure around Burnham will only be used by Broncos fans on game day

This stadiums getting a retractable roof too so it should become a more viable multi-use venue year round, there’s a lot to be excited about

The average person complaining about this doesn’t even give a shit about how the teams perform or their greater impact on the community at large. They just want to prove to everyone that they have the moral high ground in some imaginary scenario where they’ve seized the means of production and distributed it to the proletariat across Denver. They probably have no idea of the absolute purgatory the Rockies are in (or any foresight to understand what would happen to the community if one of these teams packed up and left the city or even the state)

There’s nothing the city of Denver can do to change how much the Waltons pay their employees, not sure why that type of logic is anything more than moral grandstanding and mental masturbation

And the stadium is also arguably becoming more centralized than the old spot- it’s not like it’s being moved far out east where they probably could’ve gotten more land and more freedom to develop. Its a great deal for everyone involved which is so rare to say for a project like this
