Except there is literally not a single written record of the Holocaust. I'm completely serious. Go ahead, look for one.

Yes there are, you fucking dumbass.

https://www.denverpost.com/201...

It took me exactly 30 seconds to find that article. An I know these fucking records exist. The damn nazi's that kept them told the alias what they are. So go fuck yourself.

People like to put holocaust deniers on the same level as the flat earthers. Laugh at them for their stupidity and move on. They shouldn't. The flat earthers are just harmless in their brand of stupidity. These holocaust deniers would have us believe that the systematic round up, record, and murder of 12 million human beings never happened.

Yes, I'm feeding the troll.

Higher temperatures sooner in the year causing earlier melting.

In Colorado we've had record low temperatures for February.

A trend which carried on in March

It may surprise you to learn that after things get cold in an area that they then get warmer which causes all that snow to melt. The increasingly extreme weather and weather fluctuations are indicative of Climate Change.

It's not a coincidence that all these "rare weather events" are becoming increasingly common because they are part of the larger pattern that is Climate Change.

Where do you think much of the snowpack is, hmm...

Maybe flooding is due to more moisture?? Like, say from a rare event that dropped a lot more moisture across a wide region than normal??

Nah, can't be! Has to be the mythical Spaghetti Monster vibrating the atmosphere to shake out all the water!

Going AC because (I'm a coward) I'll probably be accused of flamebait and maybe it is, but I think there's a growing segment of Americans who would be more than happy to see people thrown in jail for things they don't like.

Perhaps they're all trolls, but some people are actually calling for civil war so they can rid America of the "communists", by which they mean everyone from Jeff Flake to Louis Farrakhan. They say Ilhan Omar should never have been allowed in Congress and that she should be deported. They say that illegals should be shot on sight as they cross the border. (Apparently that is how Bibi can claim Israel's wall is 99.9% effective). If you're accused of a heinous enough crime, you shouldn't have the benefit of a trial. Illegal immigration is one of those crimes.They say only citizens should have ANY rights. They say Islam is not a religion and therefore should not be protected by the First Amendment.

Lying to Congress and evading taxes are just "process crimes" as if those shouldn't be bothered with. If anything is a "process crime", it's overstaying your visa or illegally crossing the border.

They support sheriffs who say they won't enforce laws. They argue that a cop beating someone who is handcuffed to a chair in a basement until they're unconscious is justified.

Who's Unconscious Now?

Microsoft has done pretty well in Fargo. Plenty of highly-skilled workers, low cost of living, safe, no pollution...and there are other tech companies in town, too. https://www.denverpost.com/200...

Another example? Epic software is just outside Madison, WI. There are tons of other tech companies in the Madison / Milwaukee area.

The beauty of tech is that it can be done anywhere.

Cities are putting up fiber-as-utility all over right now. Just here in Colorado, we have some 6+ cities running their own fiber, they have 1+G connections to the homes (and more to businesses) for less than $100 (several are around $50 for that 1G up/down).
Centennial CO Fiber
Longmont CO fiber Ft. Collins, CO Fiber Oops. Turns out that we have over 100 towns/cities adding/already added GB fiber-as-utility on their own.

How is all this disagreeing with me?

Get bent.

Colorado ranks pretty freaking close to last place nationally in public education funding and that includes its public universities, which run almost entirely on grants, endowments and tuition.

First, you're likely the same sad AC attempting to appear more authoritative by making another comment pretending to be a third party. Keep in mind, if you were, it would look exactly like that post. As such, I have to assume you're probably the same sad fellow.

Second, I did actually validate my position. If you look at the thread, I've posted links that support my position. But just because I don't mind beating dead horse arguments in the street to prove you have no case:

Third, my insults actually come AFTER and indifferent to my arguments. Many people don't seem to know what an Ad Hominem is in the first place. An ad hominem is not me saying 1+1=2 because logic... and you're an idiot. An Ad hominem is me saying "1+1=2" BECAUSE you're an idiot.

My arguments in this discussion are not reliant on my insults. My insults are secondary observations of another's character.

liar liar.

To prove you're a liar again on top of the lie just there...

Let us say we didn't do an ID at all but merely cross referenced the citizenship database with the voter registration database?

because we don't do that.

can we do that?

It would not require US citizens to do anything. The two databases would just be be compared.

I suspect that is also voter suppression, right... Liar?

I'm sorry, your tired stupid talking points fool only the fools. Peddle your sad lies elsewhere.

Ah yes, a conspiracy theory believing nutcase. For Trump to not have had relations with those women requires three people to lie:

• The porn actresses in question (both of them)
• Michael Cohen also has to be lying under oath

Keeping in mind that Trump's story is inconsistent, the evidence shows that

• Trump had relations with both women
• He paid them both hush money

But, hey, if you believe conspiracy theories, maybe you're also one of those idiots who believe the Earth is flat

I drive past this bottling plant every day, as do many other people as it's between the highway (well, two highways actually) and a large part of residential inner city.

It's historically been an isolated and industrial part of Denver, but there's a huge revitalization effort going on there. If you look on that Google map you'll see more than just car parks and industrial lots. There's a Natural Grocers just a block down and within half a mile there are three craft breweries, including the newish Blue Moon craft brewery (not to be confused with the horrible licensed Coors product).

Here's an article on what's happening to the street it's on:

Wouldn't this be akin to a warrant for searching your house? You can't really say "I lost my house keys"

You wouldn't be held in contempt of court if you did,

Yes, you very well might.

(The situation is more like this: that they search your house, they find a safe in your house, and they ask for the key for the safe. You can't say "I won't give that to you, it would be self-incrimination."

It is an interesting interpretation of the law, by the way: they can compel you to give them the keys, but it's not clear you have to give them a combination: http://blogs.denverpost.com/cr...

This blog post explains it very nicely.

You think standing matters to ICE or Border Patrol?

How credulous can you be?

I'll add that it's very easy to change your party affiliation if you pay attention to the deadline to do so before a primary.

Paying attention is key. Unaffiliated voters in Colorado just got 2 primary ballots for the first time. A new law allows them to vote in ONE party's primary. It's their choice, but they can't vote in both and yet a certain percentage of them are doing exactly that and invalidating both ballots in the process.

Hundreds of Colorado’s unaffiliated voters are turning in primary ballots for both parties, nullifying their votes

Have you even been to West Virginia? High-speed internet service is a major technical challenge there because of the geography. It's really mountainous and sparsely-populated.

Colorado has much worse terrain -- higher mountains, more snow, etc. -- and yet Colorado finished wiring all of its county seats wth high-speed, fiber-optic broadband Internet back in 2014: Wired Internet arrives in Silverton, finally

Democrats have been slowing down the confirmation process, so that Trump has many fewer people in place than other presidents at this point in their term.

Nope, actually, it's Trump's lack of nominees.

Good little lemming on blaming Democrats. Like for the embassy. You know, for the country that disinvited him.

Admittedly, it's within the rules and an aspect of Democratic resistance that is actually succeeding.

Kinda your own practice really.

Not exactly a success though.

That kind of ruling is what causes Civil Wars.

It's hurts the country but it does slow down Trump's agenda, and that's what matters most.

Actually, Trump's agenda of trying to put crazy shits in office is what's going to hurt the country.

Fortunately for him, his base is more concerned that heattacks the people who don't stand for the national anthem.

It's ok, he doesn't actually have any need to govern. He can just demand apologies.

It's hardly a municipal power issue. If you went to Xcel and asked for a GW of power delivered to your building then they'd want to make damn sure you were going to be a long term customer. Building out that kind of infrastructure is typically done on a decades-long process of capital investment and no entity (public or private) is going to front that cost for something that could vanish tomorrow

There's something of a game of chicken going on between Evraz Steel and Xcel in Colorado where Evraz "depends" on low rates and Xcel "needs" their single largest customer.

Yesiree, Republicans know full well that there is voter fraud, and that is because so much Votter Fraud is performed by Republicans - highly ranked ones even - And your wet dream of a voter ID is going to do nothing, not one thing but eliminate a trite old chestnut of a talking point.

Personally, I'm in favor of voter ID - but given that Republicans bring it up every election cycle like it is the cure blessed by God himself for them thar godless commiecrats and their letting them chocolate people - who always commit fraud, amirite? - is just Bullshit - to use your term.

Phase it in, make it free ( hey, maybe we can get that Russian Oligarch who funnels money to Republicans through the NRA to chip in ) and start long before elections.

But how is that going to actually stop Republican election fraud? Or is that Okay because the Republican party has shown it has a lock on the moral high ground?

In Colorado at a "March For Our Lives" demonstration there were people rolling coal as a sort of counter-protest.

At least 2 drivers were cited under Colorado law. It's only a traffic citation though, not an assault charge.

I've seen it a couple of times but more common are diesel pickups which are either modified or poorly maintained (why not both?) that just spew smoke whenever they accelerate.

in the Aurora, Co Mall, somebody had bought an iphone and another person running by grabbed it. Apparently, they tore a finger off the owner, and yet, the crook continued to run with it.

I would have bet any amount of bitcoin that this was an urban legend, but here ya go.

Although having said that, it sounds like the thief wasn't deliberately trying to steal the finger; it just got mangled by the cord wrapped around the victim's finger by the sudden pulling force. The thief didn't so much "take the finger" as take so much skin, doubtful that it could be used to reconstruct a fingerprint, that the finger had to be amputated.

Throw somebody with little or no training outside of weekly target practice in an active shooter situation and they're probably going to screw up.

Except for all those times they did not screw up.

Do citizens (not police officers) with guns ever stop mass shootings?

I remember when Gabriel Giffords got shot. There was a 'good guy with a gun' on site but he didn't draw.

Joe Zamudio arrived on the scene after the shooter had been stopped, and make the right decision in a split-second call. He illustrates an armed citizen exercising excellent judgment and not screwing up.

Privacy for all, or privacy for none.

Allowing specific exceptions for anyone opens holes that can not be closed.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that police don't lie to get warrants, but they do:

Go light up in front of the FBI or Federal court in your State, then. The Feds will still bust you. Just because local jurisdictions no longer emphasize enforcement of pot laws, doesn't mean they not exist. Feds arrested plenty of people in Colorado where pot was legal from a State standpoint...

...unlike a well understood technology like passenger trains...

Um.... I think you underestimate the incompetence of the people likely to be involved. Last year:http://www.cpr.org/news/story/trains-boulder-longmont-still-far-will-be-finished-rtd-says

The train to Denver International Airport starts next week. It's the first of four lines opening this year in the metro area. But none of them will go to Boulder and Longmont, even though residents there have paid hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes with the promise of getting rail service

This year: http://www.denverpost.com/2017/04/23/longmont-long-delayed-fastracks-line/

Former Longmont Mayor Julia Pirnack is firmly in the no-compromise camp. She is trying to get $5,000 together so that a former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler can explore whether anyone can viably sue the Regional Transportation District for the lack of a train in Longmont. Pirnack said in an interview earlier this month that since she was one of the people who pushed for Longmont to vote for FasTracks in 2004, she feels that RTD made a liar out of her because the commuter line promised in the FasTracks plan is currently not planned to reach Longmont until 2042.

Doubtless they're planning on finishing the Great Colorado Hyperloop sometime in the latter part of the aeon.

A few months ago, the Denver Post switched their comment section to something called "Civil Comments"

Our article comments have been a cesspool of trolls and spam for years. Enter Civil Comments. Civil Comments is intended to bring back the civil in online discourse

The idea is every time you post a comment you are required to rate several other comments as either "Civil" or "Not Civil", but if you are "wrong" too many times you might get banned. That is, if you rate a comment as "Civil" when enough other people say it's "Uncivil" you get warnings at first and are told to click a button saying you agree to rate comments fairly.

It's also persistent - once I was asked to rate the same comment 4 or 5 times in a row and I kept saying it was "Uncivil" (it was a response to someone with "Richard" in their name and the comment called him "Dick" as an obvious insult).

I took the same approach as I do here - I'm not going to downvote (or rate as "Uncivil") a comment just because I disagree with it but I soon discovered that rating a comment as "Uncivil" was much less risky than rating a questionable comment as "Civil".

And abuse still exists although it has curtailed some of it. I still see uncivil comments and I see what I consider civil comments removed presumably just because someone disagreed.

If a post is removed it reads:

this comment did not meet civility standards

None of my comments were ever removed AFAIK, but I kept getting warnings for misrating other people's comments. The last straw was when I rated a questionable comment as "Civil" even though I disagreed with its point. It was mostly opinion, but the facts stated were true. It was the kind of comment I'd have rather recused myself from rating but in the interest of fairness and not rating anything I disagreed with as "Uncivil" I rated it as "Civil". I guess I was wrong.

Since then I haven't even bothered to comment or even log in to rate other people's posts. I don't think I'm actually banned as long as I'm willing to click that button.

And I'm better off for not participating. There are a handful of regulars who post there and you can probably predict what they're going to say about any particular article. Very few comments are anything but the usual partisan BS that isn't funny and certainly doesn't add any insight to the article.

I doubt Republicans consider engineering, math, biology, English and such as bad.

That's incorrect; it depends which Republicans you're talking to. If you mean the old-style Barry Goldwater fiscal conservatives, you're correct. If you mean religious conservatives, like the ones who voted for Ted Cruz or Mike Huckabee, you're wrong: they see biology classes as evil because they teach evolution. With the Trump supporters, it's probably a mixed bag. But there is a very, very large fraction of Republican voters who don't believe in evolution, so science classes are a sore point for them. Even worse, it looks like some Republicans are turning to flat Earth-ism.

How is this different from the Koch brothers?

Oh...right...it's not.

Yeah, the Kochs don't like Trump either.

Not to mention the sixty million gallons of contaminated water you dumped into the river.

Sorry but these days the only people contaminating the water that badly are with the EPA.

But you'll be happy to know none of them will ever be punished because hey, government employees so no consequences for even the most horrific failures!

The academics who sit on the board advise the EPA's scientific board on whether its research is sound.

Ok, then if you are producing a bunch of faulty research that is getting past these advisors, why should they not be fired? They obviously are not working out.

I mean the EPA actually CAUSED more pollution than they have prevented in recent years, without any consequence - so there is some major house cleaning to be done there.

So... in your mind one accidental spill by the EPA is more pollution than all of the pollution prevented across the US through EPA laws over that year... I'd like to see your scientific calculations to prove this assertion. Somehow I think that your opinion is tragically flawed.

You people seem so convinced that California is a dysfunctional socialist nightmare, but never seem to explain why it's economy is so huge. You likely think the state budget is still in the red (it's not, democrats gained power and sorted out the nonsensical tax cuts, the state budget has been doing well for the past 6 years or so). Meanwhile Kansas has been a conservative's wet dream and shit is so bad there the GOP is trying to decide between selling the state off for scrap or (shudder) raise taxes.

On topic specifically, "it's already taxed" by the federal government, not the state. Companies utilize both state and federal resources and should pay both. This sounds less like "California is fucking over the rocket industry" and more like "California is not willing to let the rocket industry fuck over the state as much as other states are begging to." POSSIBLY because California having by far the biggest state economy and having sufficient funding, is not as desperate to whore itself out like red states are.

Is it a good idea? I dunno, I don't have any numbers on anything in front of me. Neither do you. You know who might? California legislators. Maybe they even talked with the rocket industry directly through intermediaries like lobbyists or telephone calls to determine if it was a good idea. Maybe not, maybe this is just one crazy bureaucrat who saw a rocket and thought "No. Looks far too much like a penis. I won't have it happening in MY state tax free!"

Either way, your bumper-sticker sized economic wisdom doesn't square with reality here.

I think the courts have already ruled on this in the case of combinations to safes. If I recall correctly, they have ruled that you cannot be compelled to provide the combination. Random googling returns this blog post about exactly this topic, complete with references.

the judge equates the password or pin code to a safe combination and using prior supreme court precedent that defendants have no 5th amendment protection in a combination are then compelled to divulge the combination/password/pin.

Completely untrue in just about every way.

The Supreme Court actually has never directly ruled on such a case, but have used lock combinations as an example case in other rulings. In those rulings, they have consistently implied that one would not have to divulge the combination. As stated in the Supreme Court ruling, “the expression of the contents of an individual’s mind is testimonial communication for purposes of the Fifth Amendment."

So you're arguing that these drugs don't get you high?

That's what I'm told about marijuana. It has no effect whatsoever which is why everyone wants to smoke it. No matter how many articles come out about people jumping out windows, shooting themselves, ignoring train whistles, thinking it's funny to give someone laced food without their knowledge, or driving the wrong way in traffic and killing people, I'm always told it's not the weed. It has to be something else because marijuana is perfectly safe.

BTW, I only keep hearing about "rigged" elections, fraud, stealing votes etc. from two kinds of people. Political dilettantes and Republicans.

Only difference being that as far as I can tell, while political dilettantes have always been partial to conspiracy theories because they are... well...dilettantes...
Republicans seem to have built their myth of "being cheated" around that time JFK beat their "not a crook" sweatball Tricky Dick.
Who just happened to be running multiple schemes to rig elections just as his party was busy implementing the "Southern strategy" in order to woo southern whites.
Who were at the time all hot and bothered about losing their "legitimate" ways of rigging elections against black voters, they went around dressed in nothing but dresses made out of bed linen.
Sorta like what ISIS folk do.

He's putting his money where his mouth is. However I would be more sympathetic to the pot movement in general if they were at least demonstrably more honest than the people who want to keep it outlawed. The notion that schools will benefit immensely seems to be a slightly more realistic version of the old claim that legalized sale of pot would generate $599 godzillion in tax revenue per picosecond to the end of eternity. The problem with either claim is that it assumes that legalization would cause people to want to buy at retail what they and their friends could grow in their backyard. (there are other dishonest claims from the pro-pot camp but this one directly ties to the summary)

It's happening right now:

http://www.denverpost.com/2016...

Those numbers are not even in the least bit close to what the pot propagandists claimed would be instantly and eternally realized in tax revenue. Sure, it is greater than zero but it is not the huge numbers they promised.

People buy beer even though they can brew it at home.

That isn't even close to the same thing. Marijuana needs almost nothing to grow beyond what dandelions or any other plant need. I've seen plenty of places where it has grown by accident. You can't make beer by accident, you have to set out to make it. There are other spirits that can be made by accident but beer isn't one of them.

Relevant. ;)

I think it's sad that you believe the examples you presented don't happen to caucasians too.

Ok, I'll bite. Per capita, do the different ethnic groups in this country experience the same level of racism?

Minorities do no have a monopoly on being treated poorly by others.

We are not talking about merely being treated poorly by others. We are talking about systemic abuse and roadblocks that some groups experience at a much greater frequency than others.

Furthermore, I provided specific examples the nature and frequency of which are backed by history. Unlike you, I did not just talk about people being treated badly. Bad treatment is something that affects all poor people regardless of race. But there is a very specific subset of mistreatment that occurs again and again, with some groups getting the brunt of it, which is part of this country's history.

I refer, again, to last year story about lending discrimination (link here.) A better article about this specific case can be found here .

I will also refer to you to the lawsuit brought against Toyota for discriminating against Blacks and Asians (link here.)

I will also refer to you to the recent case in Denver of six Black employees and one White whistleblower against a warehouse with a habit of calling blacks “lazy, stupid Africans” and punishing those who complained. Link here.)

Again, this is not about, as you put it, believing bad shit doesn't happen to Caucasians. This is beyond what we think of bad shit happening in life. This is methodical, hard-to-eradicate racism whose targets are very specific.

I believe everyone should get treated fair, and about all, equally. Unless you are saying that all groups are systematically getting the same levels bad treatment (and you can prove it), your argument has no leg to stand on.

I totally agree. Without EVIDENCE there is no case here.

There is evidence. Certainly not enough to convict, but enough to get a warrant to search for additional evidence. The key question is whether he can be compelled to assist in that search. The Supreme Court has ruled that a suspect cannot be compelled to provide the combination to a lock, so I don't see how this is significantly different.

If you are talking about this case, I believe that it is considered to be a "dicta" and is not considered to be binding law. http://blogs.denverpost.com/cr...

Clearly you suck at Google then. Colorado has laws about rooftop runoff and rain barrels, prohibiting them.

NO , because you are annoying. Stop.. and realize that everything you are pointing out is trumped by the simple reality .. (And you should know the drill by now kid..) "Correlation does not imply causation."

You point out a handful of cases of stupid people doing stupid things and just around the time that they have had a taste of some marijuana. So it was definitely the Marijuana that did it every time. You know Carl Sagan smoked pot, but we never heard anything about him jumping out of windows or trying to fly.

It is funny how people like you love to point out the same urban legends and stories and have no idea what they are talking about and are so resistant to being clued into reality.
