Parked the car at Broadway #RTD station for the #Rockies game. RTD running packed 3 car trains every 30 minutes after the fireworks. Ultimately took an Uber back to the car

A proper railway station. Preston, UK

This morning's insanity - eliminating the Penny without years of pre-planning. Changing the rounding rules on payroll and invoice calculations in large scale software systems will likely require 1000s of man hours to achieve.

Elevator 1Z at the Colorado Convention Center still out of order.

Somebody in the #denver Center for the performing arts #dcpa has decided to block the main entrance/ exit with temporary barriers for an unexplained reason. The only entry/exit is now via the disabled ramp, 3 people wide. Leaving a performance last night, there were 100 people kettled behind

Has there been any discussion about the consequences of elimination of taxes on tips to worker's social security payouts? Would workers agree to it knowing that it could cut their payouts by a third or more?

Please please please bring the team into Denver somewhere south of I70. In fact, there's plenty of space in the DTC close to the light rail. Imagine, a stadium that you could get to on public transport. Anyway, that's my dream. Also, could you add covered stands and seating

It's 9am, and I'm already on the Colorado crack

When someone comes to Colorado and can't get @realblucifer.bsky.social out of their heads.

The most worthless piece of infrastructure in the City of Denver. Elevator 1Z at the Colorado Convention Center. This has now been out of order for 2 years (or possibly more). This elevator provides access to the convention parking garage to people using the Denver Center for the performing arts.

I run an offshore #PHP team and am constantly looking for bodies. Has anyone been able to locate a good source of programmers capable of developing outside of frameworks such as Laravel and Codeignitor and what country were they from?

I work better with music playing

In Colorado the Healthy Family Workplace Act (HFWA) applies to every employee, and allows the accumulation of 1 hour of paid leave for every 30 hours worked, up to 48. You can use this leave for a variety of health related reasons, including preventative healthcare

Like many others, most of the people I follow come from starter packs. Is there a way to find out what starter pack this person is in? I feel we are getting needless overlap in specialized fields, I've just been offered a starter pack of 30 people and all but 1 I already follow

Great idea, installed app. Says that they don't do airport trips at the moment, which is 90% of my use of ride-sharing

Did a JS developer interview today using Teams.The interviewee attempted to answer every technical question by typing it into chatGPT and reading the answer back. Apart from it being hilariously obvious, what have they been doing for 12 years in the industry that they can't answer a single question

Could somebody start up a Teslabro block list please? I just gagged on "cars don't cause road damage, it's all exponential"

of course Boulder took the signs down but our city would be a better place if they hadn't.

has anyone posted this one yet

Something we might try in Denver instead of hoping that building another ultra-premium block will bring down rents

Our governor, Jarod Polis supporting the RFK nomination for HHS is a reminder that for most politicians, our perception of them is carefully managed. In his terms as governor, his public face has been one of a strong, gay man, happily married with children. The fact that he is extremely wealthy,

The shape and drape enablement act of 2025

Just a reminder for everyone on the #UKPolitics side that Nigel Farage, despite his self portrayal, has literally less name recognition here in the USA than John Inman.

For Denver locals, The ages of man, via Decadence 1. You're too young to go 2. I'll pick you up at 12:30, don't be late! 3. What time did you get back? 4. Did you need us to babysit? 5. You were back early 6. Not going this year?

Would like to know who at PBS is responsible for the fundraising goody bags. Arriving here in the 1990s. "Get this CD set of legendary performances by Lawrence Welk" me: yeah I think my parents had an album of his. 2024: "Get this DVD set of legendary Lawrence Welk performances"

Ok, we’re here but where are you? #WorldBollardAssociation

A neoliberal housing position I dislike: Keep building high end apartments in Denver, and it will ultimately drive down rent payments further down the chain. Advocates of this policy point to Austin, where both have happened. But is correlation causation? It doesn't seem to have happened elsewhere.

There's not enough Denver urbanism here yet

Talks of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants always focus on brown people crossing the southern border, but research indicates that there are nearly as many undocumented Canadians and Europeans in the USA as there are Central Americans, and most of them arrived legally and then

There's been plenty of discussions about the consequences of deporting 10 million people from the perspective of the USA, but not much about what will happen in the countries that have to take them back. Mexico, Central and South America would clearly bear the brunt of such an operation, and none

Talk about deportations and removing citizenship gives me such a sick feeling. As an obvious immigrant I've been part of many discussions on immigration that have verged into "we're not talking about you, obviously" territory and people have been surprised that I'm extremely sympathetic to
