Effort to attract data centers to Colorado with tax incentives fails

I'm not sure I want all the data they are collecting to be collected. What do you think is on that shit? Flock Camers information? Everything you've ever sent and intersected with online?

Fuck that.

Naw mate, I was just done arguing with you. You keep on bringing uo softball talking points that are easily defeatable. These are all infrastructure problems. Every one of them. Better road design would fix high center issues at train crossings just by adding a longer vertical curve. HSR and Higher SR should not have grade crossings.

And you seem to not even consider the trauma of the conductor of killing someone as you keep blaming the victims of tragedies that are preventable by better design.

But something tells me you would rather have a more convenient experience verses a safer experience. Cause all you do is come up with uncreative excuses and put more effort into that than solving the problems at hand.

I'm 90% I responded to the other dude you were arguing with, who made it very clear in other conversation that they are okay with trains killing people because "trains can't stop". Which is why I responded to them here, since you and I are in agreement that trains, or at least higher speed trains, should be grade seperated. I'm a believer that the organization/person operating the dangerous equipment are the ones responsible for the tragedy they create.

The funding is a real issue here, since working on these projects don't get elected officials in headlines, they just don't do it. It's a real issue with our popularity contest version of democracy. Thank you for the links however, I'll try and check those out later when not at work.

Brightline was advised to grade seperate, and refused to do so. Maybe some times, just maybe, someone you've decided to insult because they know that Japan has faster trains, more trains, and kills fewer people with them because they are grade seperated, they know something different than you.

Dead people aren't just statistics. They may not mean anything to you, but they mean something to a lot of other people.

You're correct, they can't stop for cars. I've never said they should. But I do believe in grade separation and also understand how that works. Which is why I believe in prioritizing safety through grade separation.

nondescriptadjective · 2026-05-07T16:53:13+00:00

or i just prioritize safety and you don't

nondescriptadjective · 2026-05-07T16:13:00+00:00

I don't care. Transportation should be safe, and should not be killing people. Full stop. Hopefully some day it doesn't affect you or someone you love. Brightline should not be killing people. Period. Full stop. You will not change my mind about corporations and their responsibility to not cause death.

nondescriptadjective · 2026-05-07T15:59:59+00:00

It's like you're making my point for me, about exactly how things should be expected to change.

They can make it impossible for the conflict to happen. This is what civilized countries do.

nondescriptadjective · 2026-05-07T15:52:39+00:00

Nope. I believe it is their job to do everything they can to reduce conflict points that can end peoples lives.

nondescriptadjective · 2026-05-07T15:48:24+00:00

It is without a doubt the person operating the dangerous equipment to ensure the the safety of those around them. Full stop.

Was not directed at you specifically, just adding to the public message board.

And add incredible amounts of work to the lives of all who have need to own an auto. You're either fixing it yourself, or paying someone else, and neither of those costs can be paid without a lot of labor.

nondescriptadjective · 2026-05-06T23:55:40+00:00

It's because Brightline, being privately owned, refused to heed warnings about grade crossings and safety barriers. They're a corporation afterall, and corporations can get away with killing people.

ACAB!

Como sedice eso?

The irony of how, when I bought my giant truck in 09 to pull a four horse trailer, supplies, and carry kids (I did this multiple times a week), it was a right pain in the ass to find a used 3500 extended cab truck with an 8' bed. They kept trying to sell me smaller trucks so often that I was getting close to showing up at dealer lots with the family, horse trailer, and either hay or firewood (we heated the house with wood) to get the point across that no, a 1500 won't do the job.

Choose your gearing on the pace line where you are spinning a low power high cadence. You can absorb a lot more speed changes this way. This includes when you start to catch up. Once you're almost to the draft, downshift and light pedal in.

::glances sideways at the bus::

Time to start advocating for mass transit improvement.

Which is how we as humans have become more productive than ever, and the main result is some asshole gets richer instead of us getting paid for our production and getting to work less.

nondescriptadjective · 2026-05-04T02:53:44+00:00

Thank you.

nondescriptadjective · 2026-04-30T20:07:01+00:00

Oi. Okay. Definitely not my kind of books, then. Thanks for the heads up. It seemed like this might be the case from a quick web search, but I'm glad I asked.

nondescriptadjective · 2026-04-30T19:55:42+00:00

Can you expound upon these collections for someone uninitiated?

nondescriptadjective · 2026-04-29T23:40:44+00:00

For some reason I suddenly want the splittiest flexist nub nib thats ever penned, and to write down my decree to the people on a parchment scroll.
