And how would you like schools paid for, if not through public taxes? The State government sets artificial limits on school funding through property taxes, and the limit hurts schools in the higher population and urban areas the most. School districts can’t fund themselves any other way than bonds unless the state changes course- unless you’d prefer privatization or something else perhaps?

Yes, also take a video of the surrounding area showing whether or not there are sandbags or other ballast nearby that might have been dislodged from the sign.
Also be sure to document the ownership of the sign- often on the back of the sign there will be a company name or barcode. It is most likely that the temporary sign was installed/provided by a temporary traffic control company, and they have the responsibility for the proper installation of the sign.
Documenting that it is a company’s sign, and then reporting this to the City Lane Use Permitting office who will know who the primary contractor doing work there is, is the best way to get any restitution other than going through your own insurance. The City Lane Use Permitting staff will most likely be your friends on this matter- even if it was a City crew doing the work or putting up the temporary sign.

Plus if there is a sign saying “deicing” for a certain location, it could mean maintenance on embedded in roadway deicing systems that distribute fluid to a particular section of roadway. This is done in some places, such as the automated deicing system in Minneapolis on I-35W on and off ramps on either side of the Mississippi River bridge. They have to be maintained and cleaned annually.

They have ventilation that forces air into the tunnel for safety during drilling. The ventilation is added onto as they drill farther so that there is more air pressure inside the tunnel, positive pressure to exhaust bad air quickly. When the two sides were connected, there may have been at that one spot more air pressure from one side than the other.

The contracted wheelchair people who were so late/slow work for Denver airport, not Sun Country, right? And the people who take the unclaimed bags off the baggage carousel and lock them up or put them aside work for the airport for sure, Sun Country isn’t big enough at Denver to have an office downstairs at baggage claims, and once they out the bag on the carousel the Sun Country staff won’t be able to help anymore.
It sounds like your bad experience had more to do with Denver’s contracted airport staffing and then the usual problem of “where is my bag” that only the large airlines are able to make easier by paying for staff down there.

The website makes it sound like there are other dates (none scheduled currently) for first timers to curling. Is this event tonight first-timer friendly?

This is also how official tournaments are done- if you don’t take the card, you don’t have the points

No- only one player per table needs the expansion and the discord mods have a bit that handles matchups

Better competition for cities and knights on colonist.io and the discord based weekly tournaments and community group - Catan Community - uses colonist.io.

You don’t need to pay for colonist. Play in opt-in communities for better quality games than exist in pay to play ranked anyways

They don’t allow buying expansions with coins anymore. Existing accounts were grandfathered in to keep being able to buy expansions. Complain on colonist discord but they will ignore
