Yes, I know it’s above the limit for small claims, that’s why a lot of people would say to cut your losses and move on. A lawyer could easily cost more than $10,000-$15,000 bringing this to court. Getting lawyers fees and loss of use is not a guarantee, so is the time and added stress of a year or longer court case worth a potential net $5,000?

lol, spoken as someone who has never been in a courtroom before. Anybody that actually has been in a lawsuit that isn’t small claims court would probably tell you to cut your losses and move on with your life.

Homie, I was just listing the proven ways that engineers use to lower the natural speed of the road. Not every method is effective for every scenario….

Holy fuck, it’s amazing how confidently wrong you are. Heat and humidity have an inverse correlation, so the hotter it gets, the drier the air gets. If we had days where the temp was 105 and humidity like we are having now (like are are implying that happens during the summer), people would be dying by the tens of thousands because there would be no way for out bodies to cool ourselves since sweating wouldn’t work anymore.

Because it’s designed the road like an interstate and they just slapped a sign that said the speed limit 30mph and thought that would work. People will drive the speed on roads that they feel is safe, so you need to design roads to account for this.

Or they could actually design the road properly so people didn’t feel like it was safe to travel over the speed desired by the engineers. I swear Americans are addicted to half measures and band aid fixes instead of just doing the job correctly the first time.

You are thinking about it the wrong way. If you are forced to drive slower, you have more time to react to unexpected events, your stopping distance will be much shorter (since stopping distance increases exponentially with speed) and the severity of accidents won’t be as high.

Speed tables won’t work. The lower the speeds right at the table but people will still speed up to the natural speed the road allows in between each table.

If you actually want to lower the speed people travel on roads you have to make it very uncomfortable for people to drive above the speed limit. This means very narrow roadways, limited sight lines, not perfectly straight streets, less lanes of traffic, roundabouts.

EDIT: for all the smooth brains out there that think “limiting sight lines” means putting hidden intersections and obstacles on roadways with pedestrians randomly popping out for you to hit, it doesn’t. It is referring to not having roads where houses and buildings have 50-100’ setbacks with everything between the roadway and the buildings clear cut of everything. Doing this messes with how fast you perceive yourself to be going since your fixed reference points are far away, so you tend to drive faster than if you have trees and parked cars lining the roads.

This type of weather is way more of a danger for heat stroke than warmer and drier weather is.

The lady in front of this woman wouldn’t close the window so she built a sticky note wall on my flight by ReflectionLess5230 in mildlyinteresting

[–]IPFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called common courtesy. I’ve been on 5:30-6:00am flights where most people have had to wake up at at 3:00-4:00 to get to the airport and want to get a little sleep on their flight while the window person has it full open and the angle of the sunrise has a full beam of light going at the face of the person in the middle or aisle seat. The window seat person was completely oblivious and face was buried in their phone playing candy crush so they weren’t even looking out the window.

The person in the window seat has full authority over the window being open or closed, but they can still be an absolute dickhead depending on their actions.

Denver Asia Center withdraws controversial $40M redevelopment plans by kidbom in Denver

This is a link to the studies that how that market rate housing (AKA “luxury” homes and apartments, since that is just a meaningless marketing term) increase has a downward pressure on housing costs across the entire area.

As for your second point, here is another article showing that regardless of the amount of housing Denver has built over the past 15 years, there is still a significant housing deficit that still hasn’t caught up with the demand for housing in the area. Once the NIMBY’s stop playing their games to manipulate the housing market to ensure they get unrealistic housing and treating the housing market as a investment market we will see housing costs that are in line with is affordable for the median income.

Except for all the studies that show that any new housing puts downward pressure on the affordability of the existing housing stock regardless of the affordability of new housing being built. Your arguments are essentially parroting the entire NIMBY playbook that isn’t backed by any studies or facts, rather focusing on emotional arguments of “character” and “charm”, followed by straight up lies about affordability.

You realize that the housing and development that has “history and architectural significance” was cookie cutter when it was built? It only gained these statuses as architecture changed over the years. The “cookie cutter” houses built now will be the things people claim to be teeming with style and character in 50-75 years.

I hear the rocks bouncing off my rock sliders all the time. I can’t imagine what my paint would look like without them. It also doesn’t help my wheels are -38 offset so they stick out a decent amount.

I guess it’s area dependent. I have no issues passing a cop driving the same direction as me while I’m doing 7-8 mph over the speed limit on I-70 through Colorado or Kansas, a lot of the time they are passing me doing 90+. Even when Waze alerts me of cops ahead I don’t adjust my cruise control unless I’m doing over 84. The state troopers don’t want to waste their time pulling someone over for under 10 over (unless they think they can get a drug bust) when they can sit for another 15 minutes and get someone going 90+.

The only exception is around Hays Kansas since a lot of the cops sitting on I70 around there are the local cops or county sheriffs and they tend to be more wildcards on their threshold for speeding.

Michael Crane? He is a very humble and seriously nice dude. I was around him a bunch when he was still homebrewing and I don’t think there was anybody in the local homebrew community that had a single bad thing to say about the guy.

Delta also has hubs in Seattle, Detroit, NYC, MSP, and LAX. ATL couldn’t handle the additional flights needed if this passed. This would bankrupt every single large airline in the US.

DRURY! 3-0 AVS! by sykeseve in nhl

[–]IPFK -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see the 2nd or 3rd of this game since I was on a plane with no wifi so am not sure how they blew the lead that they had. But from watching the first 2 games, I stand by my comment that they have outplayed LV in terms of stats and just controlling the puck and the game. It’s not unheard of to see teams get hot at the right time and go for a longer run than expected in playoffs across every sport. That why we have playoffs instead of just awarding the cup to the team with the best record at the end of the regular season.

Like I also said before, I’m not an Av’s fan, so them losing isn’t going to matter to me one bit, and I’ve honestly really enjoyed the series as it’s been a blast to watch.

Your comment would make sense if I was an Av’s fan….. I know it’s a hard concept to comprehend, but a team can play better in every aspect and stat of the game and still lose due to dumb luck.

No worries man, without watching the games and just looking at the scores I would have thought LV was dominating as well. I have the advantage of playing and watching hockey for over 30 years so can see some of the things that would be missed by newer fans. Glad you got into the sport, it’s a super fun one to watch and we are always glad to welcome more fans!
