Denver isn't great with public transport either. There's at least a minimal light rail system and buses go pretty much everywhere, so that's the good part, but the city is so sprawled out that unless your destination is a direct route you're looking at an hour or more to exclusively use public transport. And that's really the main city. Start getting out into the expanded metro area and there's not many choices except for a handful of spur rail or bus lines.

It's a lot more than many American cities, especially on paper, but in practice it's pretty rough to use as a primary transport.

Classic case of know your audience. I don't think this is going to be a particularly unpopular opinion here. I know my personal anecdote doesn't mean everyone else agrees with me, but myself and most people I know with social media have dramatically backed off. I think if it weren't for fb shoving strangers and paid content in my face, my feed would be dead. As it stands I only even log in for my bootleg weather guy's posts.

Those are rotating jet turbines. To my limited knowledge there's no way to just stop them. They wind down even if they had turned them off. The very first article I found searching his name showed him approach a jet that was slowly moving across the tarmac, which obviously means the turbines were turning and not going to just immediately lock up if turned off.

I don't even know that the pilots would've seen him from the footage I saw in the one article I looked at.

I guess that's a caption not a "what's going on" but I'm sticking with it

I really hate it when questions are put this way. Forget about need. Needs are food, water, shelter, health, etc.

Why can't we just ask, "would anyone really benefit from 1khz gaming display?" Then we can discuss the merits of the subject and whether there's actually a reason to move to it or if it's just more marketing and dick waving points.

It feels like asking if anyone "needs" it is unnecessarily loaded with snark and judgment.
