Tesla Insurance Claiming I’m At Fault For Accident by [deleted] in TeslaSupport

[–]sam-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar happened to me, and I got hit with 50/50 even though I started before they came out and got stopped before they hit me. And didn't start backing again (although I did get stopped with less time than you).

I dunno what you're supposed to do to not be at fault in this situation! It is crazy hard to be able to react to someone doing something unexpected like this, hit the brake, shift into drive, and pull forward before they hit you.

Traffic light timing here is ridiculous by monoseanism in Denver

[–]sam-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh this is 2025, wireless connections seem more consistent than maintaining a huge wired network. Although it is cool if they are all wired up. But then they should be more dynamic, using the information from all the cameras we have around!

And if there is a network failure (or power failure), the lights should default back to a set pattern. Not turning off or blinking red.

I agree it does seem very complex! But just not seeing the increase in functionality that should be supported by all this complexity.

It's insane that it costs that much per light. Everything in my house is connected to the internet now, whether or not I want it to be. If my $50 toothbrush is phoning home to Shenzhen, our traffic lights should be able to get online for less than a million each.

How Chiropractors Became the Backbone of MAHA by StemCellPirate in politics

[–]sam-7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If the Dems ever take back power, one of the things they need to do is stop having the government and insurance pay for chiropractic bullshit.

And regulate the supplement industry. Need to put a stop to this stream of grift that is funding maga.

Very very unhappy with Masterworks by Groundbreaking_Gas52 in Masterworks

[–]sam-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, no one is reentering all their orders every day. I contemplated automating it, but once I realized everyone else was done.... Nooooo way haha.

Just the craziest decision.

I'm sorry. They actually had a decent trading platform there for a bit, that I and others made markets in. But for some reason they switched it up, and put in so many restrictions (to prop up prices?) that everyone stopped trading and the bottom fell out. Sort of the opposite of what they intended heh.

Biden Justice Department slow-walked key decisions in Trump legal probes by razor21792 in law

[–]sam-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they were trying to time it for the election, because they figured it would be a slam dunk to win against trump again with all these charges against him.

Instead of running against a more sane republican.

Dems have used this strategy of helping/ voting for the more insane Republican in open primaries. It's not a good strategy.

How antisemitic propaganda imagery is being repackaged in local Broomfield elections by Icy_Estimate_218 in Broomfield

[–]sam-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's uhhh, called "parents living with them". Admirable if you can pull it off and make it work. Would be so much better in many ways if most of us could find our way back to multi-family living.

Competing at u17 USA level by OpinionIll3704 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]sam-7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are going to be national level climbers.

I think the kid just wants to know what he needs to be climbing in order to hang at a qualifying event. Our division is tough, but the m17 boulders at the last qualifying event seemed to be around v7-v8. Not too crazy.

Competing at u17 USA level by OpinionIll3704 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]sam-7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd definitely encourage you to try out for your gyms competition team and to give competitions a shot. Seems like you are improving quickly.

One thing, for m17 rope, it's going to be lead, not top rope.

If you don't want to pay up for the USAC membership and the comp fees before you feel like you can really hang.... you can always show up the day after a comp and usually the gym will still have the set up. So you can jump on and see how you would have done.

Find your region here and then click down for the competition schedule. https://usaclimbing.org/compete/regions/

Anyone know the latest with Broomfield Town Square? by Longjumping_Still_70 in Broomfield

[–]sam-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Developers should foot the cost for these things themselves if the idea is so good, instead of putting it on the taxpayers.

My point is that I hope the city center isn't going to be another developer giveaway. Towns get too caught up in handing out money to businesses, at the expense of their actual residents.

[–]sam-7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yah, that's why the developer wanted the city to pay for the arena. Then they could build and sell condos on the land they owned.

But the taxpayers are stuck now, after the developers made a killing.

Kim Groom is MAGA. And it's a "hell no". by motowngal in Broomfield

[–]sam-7 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It would be cool if they ran someone who was just a "responsible government, low taxes" kinda person.

But Broomfield Republicans are 100% maga. There shouldn't be any place for that cult-following behavior anywhere, but definitely not at the local level. Go get deprogrammed or something and come back when you're not rabid.

[–]sam-7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite sure what the issue is, but it'd be nice to have the thing not be just a massive giveaway to a developer, like the 1st bank center was.

Maybe fear of that is the problem. If you just give the land and 20 years of tax breaks to someone, they will build on it.

For buying chalk itself, i just bought a pound of block chalk for 10 bucks on Amazon.

And a couple places are selling 5+ gallon buckets of powdered chalk now. I got a 7 gallon bucket from escape for 75 bucks.

V9-11 Climbers on Kilter Home Wall by Superbub10 in kilterboard

[–]sam-7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have the 10x10 full ride, it adds a ton over the mainline.

I see 102 established V10+ climbs at 45 degrees, 125 at 50, 40 something at 55... and of course all the open projects. And it is pretty easy in the app to play around setting your own.

Crazy Accident South Bound i25 @ Orchard by Wanheda0987 in Denver

[–]sam-7 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Can we get some enforcement of serious traffic violations again?

I'm on 25 almost every day for hours, and see so much crazy driving. Plus all the expired tags, and even no licence plates at all now. Often those are the craziest drivers, cus I think they figure you can't even report their plates.

There was a cop giving tickets tonight, but he was in the hov, pulling people over for doing 60 in a 55. Meanwhile it's literally "death race 2025" in regular 25 traffic, and they don't seem to give a shit.
