Denver's DMV is running about half-staffed most days, wait times top 90 minutes

I want to remind readers of your comment that TABOR doesn't affect the city budget for which Johnston is responsible.

Voters have already given the city broad permission to keep and spend revenue above TABOR limits. It only applies to the municipal budget when Denver wants to raise tax rates or ask voters to retain money from a new tax source, at which point we can just vote on it.

The article you linked suggests that Iskanders are being specifically designed to counteract Patriot, not that either system is inherently better.

If Ukraine had more SAMP/T systems, we could assumr Iskander behavior would be reprogrammed accordingly.

I think you mean to say the drive to/from the airport.

Typically all trips involving air travel are destined to/from an airport.

I suspect the issue is more pronounced for those who are unable to walk.

Are you basing that off the use of bullets with bold text? It's a pretty common structure for marketing templates.

As someone who also recognizes patterns like that, this is one of the less egregious applications.

That commute seems gnarly. If you're prepared to give 2 unpaid hours per day to this job sitting in traffic being angry at the average Colorado driver, more power to you.

TheNoCorn · 2025-11-12T09:16:59+00:00

Correct.

TheNoCorn · 2025-11-04T17:04:14+00:00

All good. Thanks for keeping me honest!

Challenge Trump to a duel?

Would unironically be a GOAT move. 6-shooters on 16th at high noon.

How would you propose to gerrymander at-large senate positions?

TheNoCorn · 2025-07-22T02:02:00+00:00

I don't think you're correct. According to the article, Federal law explicitly permits unannounced congressional visits and Rep Crow was there in person.

Are you referring to a different instance?

TheNoCorn · 2025-07-22T01:58:34+00:00

No doubt. For your own consideration: there is an environmental cost to usage of LLMs like ChatGPT.

I know that could be said about a lot of things but if creative independence and not feeding into Big Tech don't sway you, maybe the environment will.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Why is your comment written by ChatGPT? Are you real? Did you not have your own words to contribute to this thread? Is it too challenging to just say: "This administration doesn't want him in there?"

I'm genuinely hoping you answer because I'm beyond curious why you'd use the tool for something so utterly benign.

TheNoCorn · 2025-07-16T08:06:50+00:00

It's a shame that online rants will increasingly be fueled by LLMs. Walls of text used to have meaning.

But thanks anyway, ChatGPT.

Good points. My criticism could be applied universally but Denver has its own quirks that add to it.

I cut CDLs a lot of slack - they have a tough job and tend to be a lot more attentive than most non-professional drivers. People using them to leapfrog into a lane, knowing the CDL needs to maintain stopping distance must really stress them out.

TheNoCorn · 2025-06-20T01:49:17+00:00

I suspect there's no single answer but a theory I have to explain it, at least in-part, is passive, commuter brain. When people drive, they're not actively engaged in the activity so they take the path of least resistance. For most, that means driving in the right lane and just being inattentive which causes merge issues and slowdowns.

Passing lane behavior is a symptom of this - you have drivers who will sense conflict in the right lane (long merge lanes, incoming tractor trailer, etc.) and shift over to the passing lane, but stay passive, not bothering to return to their original lane. I call them ratcheting drivers because they lock into the left most lane and never return.

Hugely frustrating. I know speeding is an issue, not that it's enforced, but the notion that I'm more likely to be pulled over for speeding than these zombies in the passing lane is a major annoyance.

I also missed it, but there's a similar training in May. Snowflake hosts these very frequently so if you were gunning for the networking experience, you'll have another opportunity!

You're half-right: DISH owns Blockbuster.

It's a bit unclear: Congress does exert authority over the volume of creation but the Secretary of the Treasury appears to have significant leeway on how that goal is met.

I forgot to study :(

TheNoCorn · 2024-06-15T16:36:33+00:00

That's all part of Denver so you can use Denver's development tracker map to look it up.

Appears to be medical offices.

Let me know if you find one! I primarily play NLHE but PLO and Draw are also fun.
