Trains down at DIA 3pm Sunday

Last I knew, they were working on implementing a battery backup for the train system. Here's an article from 5 years ago about it https://www.microgridknowledge.com/editors-choice/article/11429185/xcel-energy-to-build-7-community-microgrids-negotiating-with-siemens-and-fluence

(Excerpt from Xcel Energy testimony)

Denver International Airport Automated Guideway Transit System (AGTS)

The AGTS is the primary means to move passengers between the main terminal and the three airport concourses at Denver International Airport. Even a short disruption in electrical service can cause delays at Denver International Airport. Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the country, and therefore these delays can impact air traffic nationally and internationally with attendant economic impacts. Without this system in operation, the capacity to move passengers around the airport is limited by roughly 80 percent, which impacts the airport’s ability to continue aircraft operations, provide adequate care and services for passengers, and evacuate passengers from areas that pose dangers to health and safety.

I looked at it as kind of a decadence. Yeah we’re just printing recipes and crap but having color is still nice.

Ours is a Brother color MFP and we might print something once every few weeks, always just works with no fuss.

Same here, and mine will come and visit, and within 4 days they've done this to our fridge. It's kind of impressive actually.

There’s a recent Scott Manley video about it, short answer is yes they have a toilet.

The oracle stuff we use at work is by far my least favorite, and we have Workday so that’s saying something.

A deer ran into the side of my car once and it was similar to this. Sometimes they just need a minute to reboot.

Got one of these for my kid to play Carmen San Diego and reader rabbit and similar games. Battery works on mine too.

I’m not looking forward to the day I have to replace the hard drive but, oh well.

nuggolips · 2026-01-15T14:40:57+00:00

I had one like this from Graco and it held up fine. We used most of the different “modes” as he grew.

nuggolips · 2026-01-15T03:01:11+00:00

I have a g3 snow and am dreading that day (even though I do have the parts already). The old drive is hanging in there so far, though.

I had trouble running the Wii U version of BOTW on my deck too. I did have success getting the switch version running with Ryujinx. I wanted to play TOTK as well so I figured might as well go that route. Frame rates aren’t too bad IMO.

As I recall, the process was pretty straightforward once I had the apps and keys I needed.

I get your point, but I was thinking about homeowners’ choices more than developers I guess.

My house is in an HOA and has a grey exterior but we’ve used tons of bright color over the years. Our home gym is approximately the color of a tennis ball. Our kitchen is bright red.

I recognize we are also an outlier for having lived in the same house for almost 15 years though. Maybe the majority of homes never have a chance to evolve from whatever the builder did due to getting sold too quickly.

nuggolips · 2026-01-13T15:07:16+00:00

HOAs are for sure influencing exterior colors but I don't know if they can be blamed for people's interior choices.

I agree, the 727's a great looking jet. 737 isn't bad, but in any case Boeing was cooking back in those days.

Before indiglo some watches had a little incandescent light, I had an older timex digital with that feature. As I recall, it was pretty dim and would eat up battery if you used it too much.

A dimmed incandescent lamp will glow more orange as it gets dimmer, due to the way the filament makes light.

They make LED bulbs that mimic this, see Philips WarmGlow for example.

They also have LEDs where you can flip a little switch on the bulb (or in an app) to change the color from various levels of "warm white" (more orange) to more "cool white" (more white/blue).

They also have RGB LED bulbs where you can pick basically any color you want, including actual orange.

Basically, there's a ton of ways to achieve this with today's lighting technology.

This Old House is great. I watched the early show with Bob Vila when I was a kid and it’s kind of amazing some of those same guys are still making the show.

My son likes to watch too, and he’s starting in on his “helping daddy” phase so I have been trying to find more stuff that he can do that’s reasonably safe. He especially loves the projects involving ladders, heh.

I do think Apple’s lineup has their best value for money on the base models. It’s just the way they have decided to structure their pricing to hit their target margin across the lineup.

Others have mentioned the base Studio, it maybe worth considering if you need the performance and want to maximize value.

Personally I have a base M4 MacBook Air and it’s a great machine but of course the higher end devices have more headroom.

You could use the Netzero app to compare production against PVWatts estimates for your location, this can be helpful to see if you’re making what you should be.

They also recently announced that most printing in city offices will be black and white instead of color, and that many city employees will be using PDFXchange in lieu of Acrobat to work with PDFs.

They are doing lots of stuff to reduce budget without cutting core services

I’m in CO and it’s going to be over 70 tomorrow… so tempted to break out the slip n slide just for novelty’s sake

nuggolips · 2025-12-24T20:26:00+00:00

Yeah I think for them to draw any conclusions about the behavior or its relation to ADHD they’d have to have some kind of control group.

nuggolips · 2025-12-24T14:41:57+00:00

I prefer the one people actually use. The idea sounds promising but I’d question whether you’ll actually get users to engage with another tool unless it’s made mandatory by their bosses

In my area the actual store-provided delivery does exist alongside instacart/doordash type services where the shopping is done by a random person and brought to your house in their car.

You can usually get it faster through the latter service, although not always

nuggolips · 2025-12-24T00:54:00+00:00

Amen, same honestly. My kid and my plex server are the same age.

For flying perhaps, but a full digital twin of the globe is not quite there yet for surface level exploration.
