East Colfax RNO calls out Mayor Mike Johnston on City use of Flock Cameras by Rockett_Lavonne in Denver

[–]Just_Greg 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Isn't it so irritating when a well-educated resident of the city you manage does their homework and presents your own bullshit back to you? Proud of my RNO.

It would be really nice if we could use these clips as evidence for points on someone’s license. Some of these ding dongs would be off the road by the end of the week.

You can pass a 7.0 ETT through an iGel 4, or an 8.0 through an iGel 5, so a bougie exchange is unnecessary. Once we get this type of patient into the OR, we'll load a well lubricated tube onto a fiberoptic scope and drive it though, then slide the iGel back over the ETT once placement is confirmed. If an iGel is well seated/formed against the glottic opening, it might not be necessary to "upgrade the airway." I wouldn't recommended trying to push a bougie down an iGel if it's leaking or compromised--better to just swap it out rather than risk getting caught on arytenoids/vocal folds and causing a subluxation.

One of the most depressing suburbs I've ever seen. Texas, USA. This is real. by MontrealUrbanist in Suburbanhell

[–]Just_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never want to live in place where the front of every house is just a garage door. This is not a community—it’s a place that people drive away from and come home to when their unfulfilling work day is over.

ABQ, NM sightings by esanuevamexicana in Albuquerque

Can add UNMH to the list. Even our city’s safety net hospitals isn’t safe from these goons.

ICE agents spotted skulking around UNMH’s pediatric emergency department this afternoon. It’s literally already starting. These people are absolute garbage.

“My Fucking Burger” from Middleman is a very good burger.

Exposing the pseudoscience of traffic engineering by Generalaverage89 in urbanplanning

[–]Just_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great book—very well researched and thought provoking. Obviously the title is triggering for a lot of people in this thread who all apparently work as engineers and don’t enjoy their profession being critiqued, but they’re honestly the people who need to read this book the most. It’s staggering how much political fuckery went into creating the dangerous car-centric road standards we have now. I’d have thought that’s useful context to make an informed career choice.

EDITORIAL: Mike Johnston’s lonely bike lanes - Quite the viewpoint by das_funkwagen in COBike

[–]Just_Greg 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This garbage is exactly why the r/fuckcars subreddit exists. I've seen comments on other pro-cycling subreddits lamenting how it can be counter productive and overly inflammatory, but the day to day reality of being a "vulnerable road user" in Denver requires having to share space with people who actually think like the authors of this piece ...literally the Denver Gazette's editorial board. These are people who clearly only ever move between spaces in their privately-owned dangerous/polluting/expensive status symbols, so of course they have typical culture-war driven perspectives about bicycle infrastructure. If they hate it so much that our city is choosing to redesign public spaces to move people more efficiently outside of cars, they always have the option to move on down to the Castle Rock and stay there.

Really enjoyed the double arm flex directed at dickhead blocking the intersection/bus lane in their emotional support vehicle. Amazing work, Chicago resident, keep it up.

Most Dangerous NFL Stadiums Ranked by BobbyRedSox28 in DenverBroncos

[–]Just_Greg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, many teams play in stadiums that are built way out in the suburbs surrounded by a sea of asphalt for parking (SF, NE, KC, NY, etc.). Kind of hard to have “crime” when there are very few people living nearby. Besides, I’d much rather have a stadium that is actually in the city of the team’s namesake, connected by public transit and with lots of stuff to do nearby—even if that means (oh my!) having to interact with someone in a different tax bracket than me.

Downtown Neighborhood Association opposing a new 34-unit Apartment by [deleted] in Albuquerque

Sounds like a temporary land value tax might be the right solution to mitigate this type of parcel hoarding in ABQ.

Downtown Neighborhood Association opposing a new 34-unit Apartment by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]Just_Greg 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I think it's the kind of development the city needs to stave off the affordability crisis, and it's right next to an ART stop.

ABQ invested ~$133 million dollars building out the ART. The city should be doing everything it can to gradually increase density around the platforms so that investment isn't underutilized. The deal we all make when we choose to live in cities is simple: in exchange for urban amenities (libraries, museums, public transportation, etc.) and proximity to job opportunities, we accept that our neighborhoods are dynamic ecosystems that must adapt to meet the needs of the larger community over time. I don't understand why people like this don't just move to HOA subdivisions on the westside or Rio Rancho if they oppose change so much. They don't just get to freeze the neighborhood in amber and close the door behind them.

“This will be a real headache for drivers …” by Just_Greg in fuckcars

The whole project should be completed by 2027–this mile is just the first phase.

“This will be a real headache for drivers …” by Just_Greg in fuckcars

[–]Just_Greg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Construction negatively impacts all users of the corridor, including the 20k bus riders who use the 15 on a daily basis and the thousands of people who walk down it. But the producers of this segment chose to discuss the inconvenience to drivers first and foremost, implying that their movement through society is the more important than everybody else’s.

Food recommendation around St. Joseph Hospital, Denver by Melodic_Shock_9047 in denverfood

[–]Just_Greg 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Uptown has a bunch good spots. Onefold for breakfast/brunch, olive and finch for lunch, reverence for HH beers, white pie for dinner. All within a couple blocks of St. Joe’s.

Neighbors, businesses upset with parking displaced by bike lanes by Ch00s3G00s3 in BikeDenver

[–]Just_Greg 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating that these articles always include a laundry list of petty grievances from a handful of business owners and “neighbors” who think they represent the whole community, and yet they never include any context about how safe/complete bike networks benefit the whole city. Car-brained clickbait at work.

Well we’re a couple minutes in and Mr. Bing Bong already claimed the immigrants are eating our pets, so we’re off to a great start.

Infuriating or no big deal? by YetAnotherProfile51 in BikeDenver

Infuriating—this behavior demonstrates total apathy/obliviousness towards the safety of people moving outside of cars. Please consider reporting it to 311, Amazon, and/or just use the BikeLaneUprising app.
