I bought a smart plug so that I could remotely start my PC when I'm away, so that I can remote into it. I guess I now have to worry about Phillips sending random updates to my smart plug. 👍

🚍 Service changes started today! Here’s what you need to know: ⚠️ Bus frequencies changed and service on Routes 10, 11, 12, 32 and 92 ended, along with all Sunday service. 📍Routes 2, 3 & Foothills Shuttle have a temporary detour in place. Connect to Foothills Campus via Route 3 at W. Elizabeth & Overland Trail. 🗺️ View detour maps: ridetransfort.com/routes-and-schedules 🐏 CSU student move-in starts this week! Routes 3, 31 & HORN have a detour on campus: stops on Plum St. between Shields St. and the CSU Transit Center will be closed. Temporary stops are on Laurel St."
It's interesting that this plan is supposed to save money because this plan makes service better on many routes. 2, 5, 9, 14, and 19 all have enhanced frequencies. (2 is now a significantly longer route so it kinda needs two buses). 3 has four buses running at once now. 16 hits Fossil Ridge High School going both ways instead of just on the east bound leg. We're finally getting an east/west route without having to connect to a different route that's inconvenient and out of the way. I'm a little upset about the reduction in the MAX frequency (from every 20min during off-peak and 10min on-peak) to 15min all day. Old CSU promotional videos indicate that it was originally going to be 15min all day. Also the reduction in night service is a little disappointing. Other than that, I'm pretty pumped.
When I select an object and press Control + T, there used to be a floating menu an option to flip the selection vertically or horizontally. I have the box that says "Show Transform Controls" on, but the menu that used to show up no longer shows up.
I used to be able to select a group of objects, didn't matter what was in that group, and apply transformations to that group. When the group is selected, I used to be able to press Control + T and I'd get transformation tools for the entire group. Now, nothing happens and the only way to apply transformations to everything is to highlight the objects in the group. Also, the floating menu with transformation tools no longer shows up.
As I prepare to move into my college dorm, I want to still be able to fly but my laptop I'm using for school is too slow. Messing around with Steam Link yields a pretty promising result but I can't get my Logitech 3D Pro joystick to work. With it being plugged into my laptop, it shows up on my desktop as a controller in steam but not in Xplane, as it's probably not being recognized as an HID device. Had anyone found a way for this to work?
I just completed my first flight, and it was quite the adventure.
My first attempt ended in me disconnecting after takeoff because I forgot to clamp my yoke down to my desk. I kind of panicked because I didn't know if ATC would be upset but I was flying from a small airport with zero traffic to another small airport with zero traffic (KFNL-KRAP) so I didn't think it would be that big of a deal. I stuttered and had to ask for the information again which I think everyone probably does on their first flight.
My second attempt was successful. Maybe I was unprepared, but I was expecting a heading to fly before I took off, not after I put the gear up. Noted for next time even though I did ask before I took off since my charts (from ChartFox) said to expect a heading between 350 CW and 150. I forgot that ATC would ask what altitude you're passing but I responded correctly, I think. I was also got a bit confused because KRAP doesn't have any STARs so when he asked if I had an approach on file, I didn't know how to answer since it wasn't a question I was expecting. After a long moment of silence, I asked if the ILS 32 was ok and he said it was so that was chill. I got my landing clearance very very early. I landed, read back his taxi instructions and parked at the gate.
I will most likely be returning to the network, practicing routes between smaller fields before going somewhere big. Thank you, DEN_CTR for being patient and sorry for the first attempt.
Also, is it rude to tell ATC that they are pronouncing your airline wrong? The airline I was flying was Avelo (Uh-vel-oh) and he kept mispronouncing it as Avelon (Ah-vul-lohn). There were more important things to be communicated so I didn't bother.
I executed a go-around after floating too long and had zero preparations made for a GA. I went back and forth between "Fine I'll hand fly it" and "Ooo I think I got the FMC to work" I ended up hand flying the approach. Although a serious question, is there a way to set the exit heading on a hold?
I pick those out every time but I've never though to ask for a salad without them since it might come across as needy or entitled.
My coworker and I were geeking out when we saw this plane and were curious what it was doing.
My Town has an interactive map where we can suggest transportation improvements. Just 1 more lane will fix it
I wish the College Underpass at Foothills Parkway connected to the Mason Trail. That would provide a really safe way to access the mall.
It's almost like it's selected but it isn't. I can't apply any transformations (except those that can be done with the handles) like mirroring to any other shapes or text. If I delete the circle, the circle to the left gets outlined. What's going on?
Never knew this existed until was looking at our Bikeway network
I'm part of multiple flight sim subreddits and it seems like every month, there's someone promoting a new app they made, but they all look very similar. I've noticed that AI loves using emojis because I have dabbled around with AI code to see what's possible. I've never and probably will never publish an AI app. You look at programs and software made 4-5 years, it was very rare see options use emojis in addition to the labels on the button. I feel like calling them out, but I don't want to ruin the mood. What are other pretty obvious giveaways that an app is made by/using AI?
:(
Side note: Something that bugs me with WED is when I go to update one little thing and I get with a million validation errors because the scenery is outdated or using depreciated assets. Like, I just want to change the codes, but now I got to go through and replace every single tree because the trees that were placed are now depreciated.
How many times have they had to clean ramen out before they put this sign up 😂
My timeslot was today, and there were only Quads and Community Doubles. Was that to be expected? I really would've thought that there would be more singles, given the financial barrier compared to the Single Shared Bathroom and Single Private Bathroom.
I just got an Apple 2c from my grandparents who were going to throw it away. When I insert a disk, one of three things happen. 1. I get a message saying it's unable to load prodos. 2. I get a message to check disk drive. 3. I get nothing but the Apple //2 Title up top. Is it worth fixing and selling?
From the main show, half of those buses goes to/from Colorado State University. The other half goes to the Downtown Transit Center which is where our BRT begins. This is like proper BRT too with a dedicated guideway once it gets out of downtown. That runs every 10 minutes using 60ft buses. There are roughly 5 parking lots along that BRT which get pretty packed. The first BRT to leave once the first round of shuttles gets to Downtown, is packed, shoulder-to-shoulder. I didn't take them this year since I biked but if I remember correctly from last year, the buses also got police escorts. The shuttles are special and only take that route for the 4th but besides the frequency, the BRT uses the same buses on the same route as it would any other day.
Even with all this, there are still plenty of people who would rather sit in traffic on two lane roads for 40 minutes in their car
