Sorry, I thought the question was what GIS was.

They were a programmer and DBA

I was at a museum with my son when I saw the breaking news on my phone. I kept seeing people high five each other, and hugging each other, saying things like "He's guilty!" or "They did it!".

Everyone was very happy/

We were in a Dinosaur (a.k.a. evolution) museum, so yes, you are exactly right

@negativenull@lemmy.world avatar

My son asks me that all the time (dinosaurs are his very favorite things).

I'd have to say either Allosaurus or Ankylosaurus, thought there are so many to pick from.

Utahraptor, Microraptor, Camarasaurus (I've seen lots of these)

Edit: what's yours?

I'm also 40something, and my idea changes my. I love exploring them with my son. There's a lot to like about Triceratops, so that's a great choice.

Fantastic book in the modern state of dinosaur paleontology: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0062490435 if you are interested.

Colorado’s Bold New Approach to Highways — Not Building Them | The state has made it harder to widen highways, and transportation officials are turning their eyes to transit. ( www.nytimes.com )

In Colorado, that new vision was catalyzed by climate change. In 2019, Gov. Jared Polis signed a law that required the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90 percent within 30 years. As the state tried to figure out how it would get there, it zeroed in on drivers. Transportation is the largest single contributor to...

TABOR has fucked up the finances of the state for decades, making roads/highways/bridges/etc all crumbing, and not enough money to deal with it. Due to Colorado growth, the roads are not big enough to keep up. All "widening" in the last decade as become "Toll Only" lanes on highways, in a public/private partnership deal. These are, in effect, wealthy people cheater lanes.

I'm okay with limiting the widening of highways, as long as public transportation can meet demand, but as stated above, RTD (local bus/light-rail) has been VERY badly manage, and they just aren't expanding, even when they have to funding to do so.

@negativenull@lemmy.world avatar

The issue I have with the Toll lanes is that private business fronts the money (since the state can't get enough to do so), so they get to profit from it. ~~ E470 was supposed to be a Toll lane until everything was paid off. So when it was paid off, did they remove the tolls? No. They are still private.~~ All new tolls (3 or 4 in the last few years) are all doing the same thing.

You are right that alternative transportation is needed, but RTD is very very far from that. There are some circumstances (like from the Airport to Downtown, or several Suburbs to Downtown) that the light rail works well. RTD is setup as a Hub/Spoke model, so as long as you are going To/From downtown, and are close enough to a station, it can work, and work well. For the vast majority of people in Denver, it doesn't work (forcing them onto the overcrowded highways which lead to the toll lanes).

I thought I had read years ago that it was paid off, but looking it up now, you are right. I need to retract that part of it.

This is exactly right. T-Rex is a Therapod. Another line of Therapods turned into birds. That line of Therapods is called Dromeasaurs.

If you owe somebody $1000, it's your problem. If you owe somebody $100,000,000, it's their problem.

It will take yet more lawsuits, more appeals, more delays, etc, to collect that $100 million, of ever it's collected.

This was a "Chamber of Commerce" poll as well (which is extremely Republican). Real numbers are probably better still.
