Stockton/McGillvray Cabin (book that gives the history on page 121 - Boulder Hiking Trails preview link) Picture I took of it for reference

Apparently they're using more advanced skimmers that you can't just pull off the credit card slot now. Easily detectable over bluetooth with their app though. Here's the direct link to the app in the Play Store.

Most people learn programming on their own by taking on a personal project. There is no substitute for experience - you have to write code - a lot of it. You might try taking a more comprehensive online course, such as this one, by Reddit CEO Steve Huffman. It goes through creating an entire web application, from forms and inputs, to caching, databases, user accounts, security, etc.

Here is the alternate survey for current residents of Boulder:

Why not fill it out? This is one opportunity to get our voices heard about the out of control rent/housing situation in Boulder. It took me about ten minutes.

Sky Pond can be done in one day from Boulder. Your math at 11-12 hours is about right with time to sightsee. However Sky Pond wouldn't be my first suggestion if you're only going to RMNP for one day. The Four Lake Loop is much better for a one day trip. In one day you'll see most of the highlights on the west side of the Park. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/four-lake-loop

Bear Peak itself isn't closed, but many of the trails in South Boulder around Bear Peak have been. bearcanyon.org has an interactive map here of the trail and wildlife closures present in the area.

Here is the way I took. Click the "Recordings" tab to see the route and see that it has been hiked as recently as today. You can take any of the Connector trails from around Lehigh street to Shanahan North Fork Trail to Shanahan Mesa Trail to Fern Canyon Trail to the summit of Bear Peak. Conveniently the Skip bus that goes to Fairview high school also goes through this area.

FWIW, I have this one from Amazon. Not the most full featured, but gets the job done and is pretty comfortable for the price.

It's not even supposed to get that cold....

highs around 70 for a couple of days and then back up

The Lichen Loop Trail at Heil Ranch open space is really nice for kids. Shanahan Ridge (access from Greenbriar Ave. on S. Boulder) is also nice.

This is the South Boulder Creek Trail which heads south from South Boulder Road (AKA, Table Mesa Road) under US 36 and then heads south-west before turning west toward Marshal Road. The photo is from where the trail heads west. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/south-boulder-creek-trail

I have two of them I ordered from Amazon, the Rexing brand I think, at about 85$ each. Not a single failure from either cam, now almost two years in service. You need to buy an SD card and learn to use the features so you know how to use it when you need it. The install can be a pain to run the cable behind the ceiling and dash trim down to the power supply, or you can just leave the power cable to dangle. There are models that have front and back facing cams as well; mine just records the front windshield view.

Edit: price is at 99$ now for the single channel cam; https://www.amazon.com/Rexing-Dashboard-Recorder-G-Sensor-Recording/dp/B00X528FNE/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1544553083&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=Rexing+dash+cam&psc=1

Baker Street Pub's aren't all that great. They are neither properly sawdusty (the ones you get in pubs in Scotland have that great banger sawdust-and-suet character to them), properly greasy (as a homemade scotch egg should be), nor properly awful (as are the ones you get in the fridge section at Sainsbury's). Also, Baker Street does indeed have vaguely british crap on the walls -- but it is far from a real pub or chippie. Like a hamburger prepared by a fancy restaurant in Mexico City, Baker Street british food has the correct ingredients but is strangely awry -- the mysterious gritty revulsion/desire dichotomy of proper greasy british pub grub is missing, replaced by the blander, more innocuous greasiness of quasi-upscale American chain food. Scotch eggs are best drunk in a proper, scungy pub that sells beer, peanuts, toasties, Scotch, and, well, Scotch eggs -- and just about nothing else; or in a freezing cold alley behind High Street where the only late-night chippie sells fish and chips in fake newspaper at 2am and you have to stand outside with the other drunk people, warming your hands on a bit of congealed fat and cholesterol that once belonged to at least three different animals.

Your best bet for a proper scotch egg in Boulder is to make it yourself. The allrecipes.com recipe isn't a bad start -- though you should use something really cheap for the sausage (those gold-colored tubes from Jimmy Dean are the high end of acceptability) -- and niceties like worcestershire sauce are a false start, even if you do remember to pronounce it "wooster sauce". You don't have to deep fry the final assembly -- pan frying in about 1/4" of oil is fine, if you roll it around enough to get a lumpy sphere instead of a cube. Remember to mix breadcrumbs into the sausage, as well as placing them around it: a proper Scotch egg should be able to survive being placed in a jacket pocket for an hour or two before you eat it.

$700 isn't exactly reasonable unless you're making tech money, but that's boulder for you.

Best I could find on AirBnB https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2590423?checkin=10%2F31%2F2015&checkout=11%2F14%2F2015&s=ND7qGzrG

You could start by mentioning the many trailer park/manufactured home neighborhoods (example home to <em>buy</em> for $17,500), and add in the fact that every new housing subdivision needs to have a percentage of its units designated "permanently affordable."

> I don't see that happening right now

If you search AirBnB for a yet-unbooked week (say, in May) you'll see that they list over 1000 properties as weekly rentals in Boulder. 697 of these are "entire place/whole house" rentals.

https://www.airbnb.com/s/boulder-colorado?checkin=05%2F16%2F2015&amp;checkout=05%2F22%2F2015&amp;source=bb 697 of these are "whole house/entire place" listings.

Considering that Boulder only has 40,000 households, that's nearly 1 in ever 56 properties here listed as a weekly rental.

That has to affect both the rental market and the housing market overall in a profound way. Not to mention the effect it's having on the neighborhoods.

I saw this comment about the accident on NextDoor

> We witnessed it. A car turned in front of a police car that had it’s lights and sirens on. The police car hit it and flipped. Thankfully, it didn’t look like anyone was seriously hurt.

Hopefully everyone involved is okay!

There's McClellan Mountain road, just South of I-70 near Silver Plume (access is from Georgetown). Altitude is 13,500 ft.

It is potentially a bit challenging and scary if you're not used to jeep roads.

If you use a trial and know you are in it for the long-haul, consider the Costco 2-year deal: 2 years for $319.

This breaks up to be about $13 bucks a month. The free weight section isn't too crowded when I go (at really random times usually).

The Boulder County Trail Conditions facebook page has updates on trail conditions. Automod wont let me link to it, but they posted this morning about peak conditions.

There are also comments made by folks who have hiked here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/bear-peak-via-shanahan-ridge

Trail closures can be seen here: https://bouldercolorado.gov/osmp/osmp-projects

Also feel free to visit /r/coloradohikers/ as well!

This one is in Boulder County. And you know what? There's nothing wrong with that. It wouldn't be there if people didn't shop there.

Christ, people in Boulder can be douchebags.

... a supply of seal blubber and sugar cubes can get you through till tuesday.

I recommend a copy of Endurance as reading while waiting for your snow to melt.

Also:

Inquire Boulder is an app you can download that allows you to report issues with the city fast.! Just open the app, select your issue, and take a picture - the app knows the location and who can fix it for you.

Be Heard Boulder is the city's online engagement forum if doing stuff behind a screen is your thing. It allows you to provide input on featured projects that will help guide decisions down the road.

There are stations that detect and report on lighting activity.

This app can give you near real time updates of lightning strikes in your vicinity.

Efrain's will solve that problem for you.

Edit: just noticed that's exactly what the other guy said. [6] my bad.

The corner looks to be 15th and Mapleton, right off of High Street. I used to work with a guy who lives right there, recognized the view immediately.

Edit: Yup. Tip of the old court house and a particular rock peak on South Green Mtn are aligned, if you extend the line it goes right to where I said.

OP posted weather.com which has some of the worst forecasts I've seen. NOAA and Weather Underground are much better, in my experience. WU is predicting less than an inch over the next 10days.

There is a post on Next Door from Public Information Officer Boulder County Public Health late last night. https://nextdoor.com/news_feed/?post=140466493

In the thread the same person wrote: "At this time the only testing site is in Denver and you need a doctor's recommendation to be tested so that they can determine your risk and other factors."

I understand needing a doctor's referral. I don't understand why people have to go to Denver. Some people can't do that. Is that what that means - people have to go to Denver?

I've been listening to the news from other states all day. Lots of places are getting the tests send to LabCorp or Quest. You know how doctors (and vets) have that stuff that gets shipped daily.

A few days ago someone here posted a link to CU offering testing to people for $49 for uninsured, and I assume taking insurance for the rest. Does anyone know how that works and if it is being done in Boulder?

Edit: Also, Boulder County Health webpage tells people to call their doctor. A lot of people don't have a primary care doctor for so many reasons. I don't have one at the moment because I'm so busy working with specialists on my issues. And, the one before that screwed a lot of things up and retired, I think. Anyway, I find that really annoying. They know better. There is that urgent care place. Should people go there? They specify not to go the hospital.

Others have done a great job of addressing the other possibilities. I'm here to say we have had an intensely hot summer. Very little precip. And we have hit 100, last week. We have broken high temp records this summer.

So in addition to the excellent points made by the other commenters, where are you getting your weather info?

Here's the simple route I take approximately once per week throughout the warmer months. I've taken friends on this route on their first real road ride greater than 10 miles and I've never had a complaint about safety or exposure. Enjoy!

Yep :) read all signs and respect the rules!

I was just at the ranger station in Boulder getting a camping permit for next month. They said the road is open but most of the trails have 30+ inch drifts - past the lower parts of Hessie.

see post from 2 days ago. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/lost-lake-via-hessie-trail

I checked some of the images that were used to make the final pano, which I used Hugin to blend and stitch together, and most of their settings were F/4 and between 1/500 and 1/300 shutter speed, no exposure correction. I wanted to have F/2.5 but those turned out much more overexposed so I had to make do with what worked. I used a cheap point-and-shoot that I have had for years, the Canon powershot A610.

No one ever said "well, they hold this viewpoint that's different from mine, and so they're all assholes". In fact, I would be willing to join an organization that is 99% Christians or whatever religion, if they would let me join. The fact that they won't even let me join, is bigotry. Definition of a bigot: ' a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc.' https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigot

Further, pointing at The Masons as 'more bigoted' does not excuse the Elks of their own behavior.

Nope, for a temporary install just use things like this and a pair of pliers, and ideally wrap them in some electrical tape if they'll be in the elements.

It's worth plugging the Inquire Boulder app for this stuff - you can send pictures + geotagged locations of issues (potholes, bad drainage, 'near-misses' with cars, etc) directly to the relevant folks on the city side.

I've gotten a few nasty potholes near bus stops filled using it, and it sounds like they take reports into account in their engineering processes, so it's worthwhile to have.

Install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.co.cdphe.exposurenotifications

It does not track you or stalk you. It just matches anonymous tokens and notifies you if anyone you were near for a while registers a positive test. The more people use it, the better.

If you're willing to throw down a few bucks, you can buy a five-pack of ISO-certified eclipse shades from Lunt (certified by the Americal Astronomical Society as well) on Amazon. It says out of stock right now but it's supposed to come back in stock tomorrow (17th) so with Prime you could still get it before Monday.

Check out http://appandtaps.com! It is a cool app that lets you find all the happy hours around Boulder. They are on Google Play, but not iOS yet.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AppAndTaps

Haha I wasn't trying to say it was a lot but 7 active under 700k and 75 under contract or recently sold under 700k likely more than most people would guess. I got it from 8z's mobile app.

Their website, formerly cohomefinder.com, is the best for anyone searching for a home. I found both of the homes we bought on there before our realtor showed them to us. Helps to be diligent in this market :)

I buy cheapies off Amazon. $30 turns night into day.

My assumption is that the vintage of the charging port can be used to discern generation, or at least age of design. This appears to be a back generation, relying as it does on Micro USB (versus more updated ones with USB-C). If I'm going to be need light for literally all night, I will bring another 18650 in a small plastic box or bag, as I will easily accept the 50g weight of another battery to have more light for longer.

A single circumferential strap is ok for running, but works better when you're swapping between hand and head frequently. If you're going to stick your light on your head and leave it there, opt for a design that has a top strap to stop the light from slipping down.

Same thoughts on battery pack. Most designs these days put the battery in the same box as the light (in front). There are still some that put battery in the back (which give me painful 3R12 battery flashbacks) - those again are better for running but can be cumbersome to frequently swap from hand to head.

One of these, or something similar, hidden somewhere not visible even to a determined thief, inline to the fuel pump is a great way to prevent this sort of thing:

https://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-GSW-18-Heavy-Duty-Electrical/dp/B00004WLKC

It stopped an attempt on our truck in Denver in LoDo not long ago (our only trip to Denver in over a year, as it happens). It left us with a near dead battery from cranking, and a broken door lock and a broken ignition lock part, but the truck was there.

All of our vehicles have cutoffs now. You have to stick your finger in places nobody ever would, and know what you were doing.

It takes a couple of hours, tops.

Hey look, this nice Amazon merchant company "Basic Spirit" made something just for you

It looks like All Trails might be a good resourse - https://www.alltrails.com/explore/us/colorado/boulder?b_tl_lat=40.1264888189701&amp;b_tl_lng=-105.60604752129653&amp;b_br_lat=39.932825254014574&amp;b_br_lng=-105.15289918103339&amp;a[]=off-road-driving.

I will usually just use a forest service map via caltopo.com or even Google maps. Switzerland Trail is a good intro if you are doing some research.

https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/beaver-brook-watershed-loop?p=28982412

Beaver Brook Watershed Trial is up near Morrison, awesome & beautiful trail and wasn’t very busy! It has a small parking lot so get there early! It’s probably chilly in the morning.

Born and raised in Louisiana,I must say iv never herd of anyone catching crawfish with a fishing rod,although we do use them on our rods as “bait” to catch bigger fish.if your wanting to catch them in there natural habitats you would be better of ordering a crawfish trap and set bait in it.put the trap into the water and let the Magic happen.you need something to bring them out of there homes and the bait in the trap im will surely do it.here is a link so you can have an idea of what a crawfish trap is.trap example

No, not nearly as dry or warm.

Here look for yourself:

December 2021

Here is a link to the weather in Boulder on October 18, 2021. At 8:48 in the morning, when I took this picture, the wind was gusting in a strong northwest direction (as it was coming from the south and east) and the humidity was nearly 100%. The fires were west of town, meaning the wind was actively pushing the smoke away.

Also “visitor”? Rofl dude, I work for a place in town. I was there the entire time there was smoke and I hiked on a few days when the smoke was pretty thick. I know exactly what smoky conditions are like, and this wasn’t it.

>it's likely to land in a spot that doesn't typically get totals over a few inches.

Uh, has this person ever been to Colorado? Western Boulder County is literally where the US 24-hour snowfall record was set.

Frontiersmen spray is 2%

https://www.amazon.com/Frontiersman-Capsaicinoids-Deterrent-Protection-Multipack/dp/B0B71XGZQD#immersive-view_1664379780147

FoxLabs is 4% unless I’m reading their levels incorrectly.

Grab the city's Inquire app and report it through there, they can come pick it up.

I've been reporting/sending pics of all trash piles/heaps/needles I find on my bike commute, and I see them cleaned up within a couple of days. It's also a great way for the city to track data around this problem-- the more we all report everything, the more and more seriously they can deal with it as it continues to grow and take over our communal spaces.

Alternatively, if it's only wood/metal and there's no fabric of questionable cleanliness, and if it seems perfectly fine otherwise, you can wipe it down and donate it to a thrift store.

Academics have written entire books on this subject.

Fun fact: last year the leader of Bethel Church was sued for child sexual abuse last year, sexual abuse in 2015 and again for sexual abuse in 2011. I'll let you find those on your own (it's pretty easy)

Get some books and start out with the east stuff. Switzerland Trail as mentioned above. Another one is Rollins Pass. Some tips I would have for you is get an air compressor that you can hook up to the battery. Many roads you’ll want to air down for better traction and comfort. Eventually a winch is important to have if you’re going into very remote areas. You’ll also want very good tires. I personally love my Toyo A/T IIs that are 10 ply tires. They’re big and heavy but I know I have good sidewall protection and most tire issues while off roading are blown sidewalls. They’re also a good tire that you can use on highway. I picked them because I use my vehicle as my daily so 95% of my driving is pavement. Just remember start small and work your way up.

Thanks for doing this! I want to plug wag bags or disposable toilets for solid waste if anyone is not aware of them. I take at least one with me any time I am on an extended hike, climb, or even car camping. These are especially important in the alpine but really everywhere that sees excessive use. At this point this is most of Colorado so I encourage every to hop on this train. -- https://www.amazon.com/RESTOP-Portable-Toilet-Liquid-Included/dp/B093JC7PV7

I actually came across this BBQ set and love it.

I can only think of one bear attack in Boulder County since I've moved here 30 years ago.

I do have a bear horn https://www.amazon.com/Frontiersman-Bear-Horn-Sound-Chance/dp/B06XSNLWSR which I'm sure you can buy locally - I have no idea if you can take them on airplanes or not. I have never had occasion to use it but I have tested. This thing is unbelievably loud. If you have a dog with you hold onto the leash. Probably get a firm grip on your son also.

On a serious note I have had more incidents with cattle than anything else while hiking and biking in the Open Space ( especially since I frequently hike with my dog ) . Just give them a little room and you'll usually be fine. When the calves are born the mothers will park the little ones in tall grass or other cover while they graze nearby. DO NOT get between mom and the baby.

I wasn't sure which route you were going with that question so I covered both I think.

We display all the information from our station on our website. But you can also find it on Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KCOBOULD199

Do you mind if we reach out in the future about your weather station? We had plans to highlight reliable local and personal weather stations across the Front Range on our site but never finalized that idea. We'd love to include your station if it is a good fit.

It should point to true north, as you would see in a map. I dont think it should be magnetic north, though it really doesn't matter. Your wind direction would just be off by a handful of degrees.

Other than Trail Ridge Road (entrance fee), and Rollins Pass (dirt road), there's also Poudre Canyon Road. It's a long haul to Fraser, as you have a few passes to go over. If you have gravel tires, you can take shortcut across North Park, rather than having to go all the way to Thoreau. Strava Route

I think Trail Ridge Road would be a lot simpler.

Interesting. I'm driving FWD ('97 Lumina) currently. Does this link seem like it has good tips? MI is is flat and regularly plowed / salted so I've never even had to think about actual traction issues before. I might end up asking the guys at the Tire Source if they're as honest as you say, I don't feel like I know enough about this stuff to make much of an informed decision even after some research.

also as far as all-season goes, do you have a specific brand or model preference? My car is a luxury car but I've definitely taken it in to some off road conditions since moving out here. Seems like a little more grip wouldn't hurt even in the summer compared to what I have now.

Unfortunately there will be no recording. However, if you register for the event you will receive the Event recap and resources that were provided. You can also reach to our Child Specialist, Jen Nelson, directly here.

I bought this filtration system last year, and have really liked it. I get comments on how the water tastes good every month or two by visitors.

The perfect trail to get altitude acclimated is to see the Doudy Draw Trail. Undulating meadows and perfect Flat Irons Mountain views right in front of you. Glorious https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/doudy-draw-and-spring-brook-loop-trail

Depends on the Yurt, yeah? Yurts are traditionally from Mongolia I believe, which isn't known for their temperate weather. This one looks pretty cozy in a winter-like setting,

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4587205?s=WmjlYmxG&amp;sug=51

If it's available to rent, my guess is that there's some sort of heat source to it, rather than thinking, "big tent".

Hi, I'd like to share a Google Maps link with you. Link: <https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=40.106897,-105.302839&amp;spn=0.036434,0.084543&amp;t=h&amp;z=14&amp;vpsrc=6&amp;iwloc=lyrftr:starred_items:112180057334927850381:,40.106684*,-105.322437,40.1067,-105.322409>

Its a nice trail, but not a big mountain.

Cabinets are often semi-custom so we really aren't equipped to deal in them besides their hardware (hinges, slides, knobs, etc) but you'd be looking for things like: -solid hardwood on the faces (particle board and laminate will be cheaper but not as durable) -euro hinging (invisible from the outside) -good drawer construction (with a rail-glide system like the ball-bearing style Accuride) -good dove tail joints on the front

Here's a decent buying guide from last summer

Smoke growth in only the last few hours is kind of insane. I found a 24 hour time lapse hosted on Windy, avoiding the reddit hug of death for the small, self-hosted webcam it sources. Check the clarity of the air above the lake seen in Wednesday, and then the smoke that fills the lake today (Thursday Oct 15 2020). The difference is phenomenal.

Which storage place quoted you $180? I actually need a space like that.

If you go on the nextdoor.com website you can look for "garage" or "longterm parking" and find people that have offered this.

A kind soul from Bike Index let me know they found my stolen bike for sale online on OfferUp. In case that post gets taken down, I took this screenshot showing it’s definitely my bike. .

This is absolutely my bike (they even removed the front fender which had been previously damaged).

I called Boulder PD and they said an officer will call me back. What else should I do?

one thing I do when looking for things in CL that might help you is to use https://www.searchtempest.com/ to run searches at a set distance from where you are. It's not real user friendly but one you figure it out it's real handy. You can also use it to setup an RSS feed that will deliver the search results to an RSS aggregator like https://www.inoreader.com/ for automated searching.

This might give you some ideas:

I think in more recent years Boulder's Ironman changed up the bike course to something shorter.

You could ride to Hygiene or Rabbit Mountain.

This is definitely doable, did it last month. It is not an easy ride though ... Here's how I did it: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/451539900

If you want to skip going up the bike path along the canyon, you can go up sunshine, then down poorman's, then down four mile, ride up the canyon to sugarloaf.

Meyer's Gulch is a nice out and back trail. 2.5 mi each way, fairly easy terrain, some nice wildflowers at the right time of year, and some cool birds in the area.

I've seen people shooting here. http://www.everytrail.com/guide/caribou-4x4-road

I'm not sure that going into the national forest is going to get you away from idiots though. It's almost entirely legal in that area from what I could tell, but there were people shooting from the road across a stream. Jackasses.

Edit: I just read the other article that was linked. This was a couple years ago, so things may have changed in that area since then.

Well I hadn't got any messages from people so I just mapped out the route below and will start early tomorrow. Visit Estes Park in the morning to noon and then make my way over to Grand Lake for some camping. Then Sunday, head back to Estes and go down to Nederland and come back to Boulder. That trail ridge road and peak to peak hwy will offer some of the best views you can get in colorado. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=206850145689741559168.0004c1dafb3a7b0d76db5

You're more than welcome to join, and if not, I'm still down to just chill and grab a beer next week. Let me know!

It's pretty simple in theory, right? Odds to miss getting the plate are just 63,273,599/63,273,600 x 63,273,598/63,273,599 ... with 1,800,000 terms. I didn't quickly find a calculator that could do this calculation with replacement, so I just used a non-replacing calculator and subtracted 900,000 from the basket of 63,273,600, then ran it 1,800,000 times to get a ballpark estimate. Looks like it's about 97.15% to fail to happen and thus 2.85% to happen, assuming I didn't make a mistake. Calculator here: https://www.omnicalculator.com/statistics/probability

The idea is to simulate the corona virus attaching to specific receptors in order to identify how we can disrupt that process with drug molecules. These simulations are really expensive to run, so having access to massive compute resources (aka your computer when it's not running) helps accelerate the progress.

It's not guaranteed to find a solution, and any drug candidates that they identify will have to be tested in real life, but it's a tangible action you can take towards understanding and combating the virus! Also, for what it's worth, I've worked with the research group that's in charge of this project and they are great scientists.

> For a bank that less than a decade ago nearly brought our treasury to an end, (so much so we had to bail them out to the tune of $10 billion just to keep us afloat), that's not too shabby.

There is plenty to complain about Goldman, but you should at least be factual. If you recall, Warren Buffett invested in Goldman during the financial crisis on very favorable terms (for Buffett) and gave them his unique Buffett imprimatur instilling confidence. Goldman was well capitalized. They didn't want or need the TARP money but it was forced on them (yes!) and they paid it back quickly.

Bitch and moan about all kinds of Goldman practices, but you can't just blame the 2009 financial crisis on them. There is Quora question on this if anyone cares to read it:

PS: I'm in favor of privatizing more infrastructure, given how in-debt our government is. I also really appreciate being able to pretty well estimate the time from Boulder to the airport because of the toll road.

Looks like your site is wordpress. I'd talk to your employees that manage your site but my recommendation: Use Google Apps for email and document sharing. Setup your actually website on another company.

If I were running it, I'd probably host on Linode or some other VPS company. But that takes a bit more time/management on the server itself. So you're really looking for "managed Wordpress hosting" most likely. I have never looked into this as I always self manage because I enjoy it.

As an aside, your website is a bit slow to load (around 3.3 seconds to load the main page. For comparison, Google search results return in around 0.25-0.5 seconds). I'd recommend looking into W3 Total Cache plugin or something similar for your website to speed up page load speeds.

If you do a virtual event, then one activity can be a trivia game about your son. Using the platform, https://kahoot.com. You create the questions about your son. Questions could be some the kids may know and some they may not to help make it tough, educational, and fun. Each kid answers on their own device. You could even be the game show host on zoom, reading off the questions and then reporting who answered the most right questions at the end. Maybe offer some type of prize. I suggest you do a dry run of this on your own before the actual live event.

To build off a previous comment on The group baking exercise, you could mail off a box to each kid that has a birthday tablecloth, beverages, snacks that your son likes and other fun items they can participate in together. Maybe have a steak dinner delivered to each of their houses and make it a bit more adult-Ish since he’s 17.

There’s a number of types of electrolytes. Some love Liquid IV. I think propel and smart water have them? In the summer, I’ll fill a 16oz portion with a few splashes of this because it’s not flavored.

Lemon is helpful in water. Some drink it with a straw to avoid hitting teeth with the citric acid.

Possibly American Educational Products in Boulder or Beyond the Blackboard in Arvada.

Do a google search for "teachers supply" stores or "educational toy store"

It wasnt easy to find anything below $20/month. But chinese made tkstar has a rear bike light that concealed a gps unit. $5/month for 2G sim, i choose sim (US mobile). Comes with app that isnt secure (no ssl login) but does geofencing, vibration alert, sleeps when not moving, water resistant. Setup instructions arent great which is why it gets subpar reviews. Cost $45 on amazon. Ive had it for 2.5 years and its been surprisingly reliable. Charge it every 2 weeks or so, depending on how much i ride. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JKSLDXP/ Im surprised ebike companies dont partner with someone and sell a reasonably priced plan that is wired to the battery so never needs charging. Maybe some do. I hope yall succeed. Ive had a bike stolen in Boulder. It sucked. The cops dont seem to be taking no-brainer steps like GPS to figure out where they are going.

Yep. I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004RACK/

I'm not sure about adjustment, never had to do it. I would try to look online for the manual for the valve. I've only replaced the valve when it failed to keep the pressure low enough. Good luck!

No, he referenced the building code. That code only applies when the unit is built or remodeled.

The info for rental inspections is found in the City of Boulder Rental Handbook on page 7. Here is the specific part about electric dryers:

>3. Clothes dryer exhaust systems. Shall be independent of all
other systems and shall be exhausted outside the structure in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. (IPMC
403.5)
• Exception 1. Approved condensing (ductless) clothes
dryers.
• Exception 2. For electric clothes dryers, an approved
commercially manufactured lint containment system
within the appliance space and accessible for
maintenance.

Exception 2 allows for one of these.

Yes, I am a great landlord, and I would never rent a place with an interior venting dryer. It is still allowed in Boulder though because landlords are powerful here.

I have a vipertek vts-159 I got from Amazon.

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/VIPERTEK-VTS-195-Rechargeable-Tactical-Flashlight/dp/B01FL444JW&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiika-d94HwAhXGVs0KHSn3DEEQFjAAegQIChAB&amp;usg=AOvVaw0zWVdoI29i3ZkJTGuxJQ1M

In general vipertek has great ratings. Like others here have said, there are situations where just having it and pressing the button in a "back the eff off, I'm serious" defensive stance can be enough, and it's an intimidatingly loud snapping current sound (I've had to use it in that capacity before, and luckily I've never had to actually use it on someone so far).

What I also like about vipertek is that their stunguns keep their battery charge for an impressive length of time. I keep mine in my car year-round (so it's been in the cold all winter) and I bring it indoors to charge it about 3x/year. It never seems low when I recharge it either, but I just figure I'd rather make sure it's charged than be SOL at the wrong time. 4 months sitting in the cold while still holding a strong charge is pretty dang good for a rechargable battery.

Here you go.

I start with a really good and simple Yellow Curry Paste. Just add water and paste to a pot, simmer chicken or only veggies if vegetarian. I also add Curry powder and Masala Seasoning as well, because I like mine very rich and as spicy as I can handle. The paste itself is likely enough. Once the meat is done, I add whole mini carrots and diced potatoes. Let that cook until veggies are done. Next, I add coconut milk and allow it to simmer more. Last, I add tomato sauce and let it simmer down even more. The Curry Powder, Curry Paste, Masala Powder contain some of the same ingredients. So there really isn't a need for all of them, I just like LOTS of spices. They do blend well. You can add cream at the very end to make it a creamier curry/masala.

The ingredients I use:

Yellow Curry Paste, Water, Chicken, Curry Powder, Masala Powder, Mini Carrots, Potatoes, 1 can Coconut Milk, 1 can Tomato Sauce.

You can find the curry and masala powder at local stores, but I'm not sure about the paste. I live way up in the mountains so I just order when I need it. The cooking can take a few hours for the flavors to really come together. Great Indian food shouldn't be rushed. Steam some Basmati Rice when the cooking is almost complete. Place the Masala on your plated rice and you'll be in heaven. Get some naan if you'd like to really make it authentic.

I hope it turns out as good as mine! Make plenty for some leftovers the next day or more.

This is unfortunate, sorry to hear,--I hope there is a traffic/cdot/police cam or other surveillance camera at that corner. I suggest getting a dash cam for your front and rear windows, 2 of them, idiots in cars subreddit, amazon dash cams, or other resources may be a place to start. Here is a dashboard cam with night vision, suggest getting 120 GB SD memory storage card for each camera, then mount, and learn to make part of your pre driving and post driving routine https://www.amazon.com/Dashboard-Recorder-Nighthawk-Wide-Angle-Recording/

With so many distracted, and so many attention-capturing and keeping gadgets/ technologies/environmental influences out there, (including driving while on the phone / eating / talking / adjusting radio / temp control while driving, etc. ) being equated to actually affecting driving enough to be like driving while impaired, I have started to feel enough of a consistent impulse to just get a dashboard cam.

It is more than worthy investment in self awareness, self defense, and self response-ability now. Perhaps this will abate and tougher peer pressures, peer education, and safe driving education requirements will reduce this need in the future---for now it continues to just grow. Also check both ways when approaching, transiting, and exiting intersections, people are running yellows and red lights more consistently now.

There are various brands etc., but this is the one I ended up with.

"Far from helping us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and, ironically, often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it, but to draw instead upon a more distanced compassion." https://www.amazon.com/Against-Empathy-Case-Rational-Compassion/dp/0062339338

P.S. I'm an adult with enough awareness to know that Boulder is nothing without its university.

excellent comment, thank you for sharing.

One product I've seen but not used are these easily removable and lightweight spoke reflectors.

I'm hesitant to mount anything heavy and battery-powered on a road bike but these seem like a really nice middle ground and they look like they'd work on aero spokes as well.

I haven't typically found fresh stock past late May/early June in most grocery stores around here. If I do find any this late in the year it's usually a super small selection that often doesn't look great. The fresh stuff in March-May typically sell out really quickly, that may be why you haven't seen any, I last picked up a few pounds for rhubarb pies at Easter. I last saw a tiny selection (like, seriously, just a few stalks) at King Soopers maybe 2-3 weeks ago? I haven't seen frozen rhubarb around here recently, either.

However, it's currently in stock at Whole Foods on Amazon for delivery, if you don't mind paying a bit of an upcharge for it.

EDIT: Well, it literally was in stock a moment ago. Crud.
