I bet we’ll be hearing this “obsolete” word thrown around with the Mile High Stadium as negotiations & asks for funds from “no new taxes” gets heated.
A #stadium that seats 70k + fans, is sold out & hosts every #NFL game type plus more is not obsolete, especially after 25 years! #Broncos

I imagine this surprises no one! What is more important to me is what they mean with the rhetoric of “transformational opportunity” as it’s been an industrial area since it was developed. The last thing we need is another trophy surrounded by a res of asphalt oceans for billionaires!

Seems Siri needs a geography lesson. Unless Epcot was duplicated in California!

DUH! LMFAO!
Have we really reached such depths of thinking that people have to be told to verify sizes?!
With the way descriptions are written these days by ignorant people, maybe 🤔

Unintended consequences: can’t maintain the R.O.W. because the “temporary” objects were installed without consideration to maintenance as hopefully permanent devices will be.
In the meantime, plenty of composted debris intoxicated by vehicles is developing in a distributed manner!😉

#NaturalGrocers How do you & we know the quality and integrity of the Natural Grocers brand of organic EVOO? We hear about the quality reduction & adulteration of EVOO to the U.S. so in purchasing it, I’d like to learn about what I’m purchasing & how I’m assured of it.

Why not just call it the “Denver WSL (pronounced “whistle”) team” until an official name is announced? NWSL can be appropriately shortened to WSL without losing integrity & it’d be much easier to say.
Whether whistle & women would be a controversial issue is a cultural conundrum!

These are useless questions to ask of people preached to by bureaucrats & bureaucratic organizations. They are asking how they more effectively convince us of their perspective, get our agreement or at least neutralize our influence in changing what they have to do for the real common good!

It should be illegal to cut a credit limit with a balance such that it can increase the credit utilization rate! The credit score uses this to determine the score & will subsequently reduce the score. Best to freeze a portion of the limit until transparent requirements are met.
Not happening soon!😐

I noticed this inconvenient time tax on the Frontier Airlines app. I’m curious if this is being used on other apps that don’t need to be signed into?

If there’s a desire to get more people using non-personal private vehicles to get from the airport, as well as TO it, it seems appropriate to waive the #OmnitTrans ONT airport shuttle fee with a paid #MetroLink pass as well. What am I missing?

This not unlike someone stating that a surgeon stitched up a patient. It’s practically an admission that the lowest compensated professional industry (in company with MDs, lawyers, accountants, engineers, designers) is not worth what they do because they only “draw up plans!” Pathetic!

You’d be forgiven thinking that the headlines of these two articles are conflicting—nope! Just marketing to cover all bases for people to lend their limited attention and cognitive capacity to corporate & capitalism means. New people move to lackluster places all the time LOL

How do you know your transit agency doesn’t care about maintaining the schedule: it removes any suggestion of how late the vehicle is! #RTD Denver wants to hide when the bus is 9 minutes late on a 15-minute headway route!

It may not seem like such an uncommon phenomenon to much of the continent, but in a place where fog is a rare event, a fog advisory is almost unheard of! In the city it’s practically a non-issue because of our bubble, but beyond the central city, it’s a new experience for many!

It seems that we’ve misallocated the issues of privilege & entitlement to “generations” & age rather than behavior, often from classicism.

It’s difficult to get the bison any closer for a selfie, but I got one with my NDSU Bison hat on LOL
They are quite skittish of humans. These are calves so just the little guys

I think it’s time to treat this political event as a normal day for government workers of DC to the extent they can—no paid holiday for the privilege of being in the same region as the inauguration.

If I was a #FlyFrontier exec trying to improve the image of the company & service with almost no cost, I’d include service fees that are practically pure profit, in the accumulation of Points and/or Miles, as a cheap (& typically unused) way of thinking the customer for the inconvenience!

It’s frustrating to see companies offer an important service focused on quantity over quality. I don’t care about résumé designs that don’t get results. I’d rather have 6 formats I can tweak that have been proven successful by newly hired applicants, not the thousands that haven’t gotten offers!

It’s practically heresy to not support a form Broncos player who also graduated from the Air Force Academy, but when their comments are completely emotional & subjective with little tie to the requirement of approving an annexation, I’m okay to call out this media attention of a celebrity not prof.

I think VisionZero supporters do recognize that each has a role as human will err despite our best attempts societally.
