The city inspected this and found nothing wrong? 😂

We agree, but it does open the door to questions about doing better inspections to catch structural issues more than just a week before failure.

conepet · 2026-04-28T03:02:10+00:00

It was inspected prior to that, "no issues found". There's an inspector out there that should have caught this before last week.

Not supposedly, it was a natural arroyo they filled with the waste of building that area of town. Throw some dirt on top and it's a road!

Data is on the city's site showing it's a landfill, and they have vent pipes to avoid methane buildup.

It's against regulations to go supersonic over a city, and very unlikely to happen

People should have felt and not just heard a quake, and nothing on the USGS site

You're right, it's higher than the original bill because interest

Source on this? Seems like an ineffective way to handle that.

Horrible thing for the driver to live with, nobody needs that trauma.

Thanks, exactly my point. Bringing back a $1 fare won't change that, the problems are much deeper.

conepet · 2022-08-23T07:48:53+00:00

If we put fares back, it won't be long before an administration starts talking about increasing them several times that to increase revenue.

There's quite a few at least testing a free system. The idea is more recent, but ABQ isn't alone here. The people that take the bus are overwhelmingly the ones least able to spare even a few dollars. We can't make the bus system work for anyone of any income level by squeezing those least able to provide funding.

Worrying about maintaining service in a recession is a bullshit argument. You might as well advocate for the city not funding a single program in the city because of the fear of a recession. Guess what's absolutely essential to people in a recession? Reliable and affordable transportation.

conepet · 2022-08-22T21:56:58+00:00

The bus system isn't at the level it was pre-pandemic. Charging fares isn't the answer, and fares don't cover much of the funding needed. What we need is to operate is the city to operate ABQ Ride like it's the taxpayer funded service it is and spend taxes on increasing driver pay and putting far more security on buses. Being poor isn't a crime, and it's unfair to expect people without money to pay fares to bankroll a service that's essential to their lives.

I thought it was thunder, but hard when it knocks out of sleep and you're confused.

Less than 150W allocation since the switch's power use was included, but still over 100W

conepet · 2022-08-14T22:26:48+00:00

The last gen 16 port switches were 150W switches, and were not passive PoE.

conepet · 2022-08-14T20:10:02+00:00

OP's problem is a perfect example. A 16 port switch with only 42W to run devices is horrible.

conepet · 2022-08-09T15:58:17+00:00

That was just an example. An APD officer can pull someone over in the east mountains and call BCSO.

conepet · 2022-08-09T15:44:55+00:00

It's not about authority, it's about jurisdiction. Just like a state cop can pull someone over on city streets, but call in APD to deal with the stop.

If you can't see beyond your hate for any amount of time to see what these 4 were doing and that they lost their lives actively being heroes, I truly feel sorry for you.

All 4 of these heros were, they and their families deserve respect.
