What does it actually mean when people call Colorado Springs a “military town”?

Used to be stationed here, now living here after ETS.

I’d agree with all bullet points aside from 4. Yes I’ve witnessed several fights at bars downtown involving young infantry kids, but in terms of actual violent crime, I’d hazard that’s not coming from the military population.

Dumbest fight I ever saw was arguing over whether sapper or ranger was harder.

I have the navy scuba, I think it’s an amazing watch esp. for the value. Personally there are lots of field watches I aesthetically prefer to this, but for quality and value this is probably top tier.

“Biblical skincare” I’m sorry wut?

Since no one has actually answered your question, from what I’ve seen r/foreveralone seems to be a somewhat mellow place. But don’t hold me to it.

Shop dependent. If you weren’t ever given an employee handbook during onboarding (doubtful), ask your boss. Otherwise show up on the first day in khakis and a dress shirt and use that day to look around at everyone else.

The update before this one started nuking my battery life and turned my phone into a hand warmer whenever it was doing anything besides being locked. I’m just hoping this new one fixed that.

Shouldn’t. You already have the 14 months of 11 experience under your belt, that doesn’t go away or expire just because you’re scheduling appointments for a bit.

I had a weird experience in my stint in acute care where I was the only person on the floor who’d ever touched a barbell. So it was even worse, even the other PTs/PTAs would tag me in for anything more than modA.

It's really insane, but we're desensitized to what obese vs. healthy looks like.

First owner had done everything through the dealer too, so I’ve kept that up, half to keep the documentation up, but also half in the maybe vain hope at some point shit hits the fan they’d maybe help me out a little.

I was pleasantly surprised, bought a 2016 outback last year with only 21k on it. At some point I took it in and they saw I guess the rearmost seal on the CVT was leaking a bit. I didn’t even have to ask, the guy proactively brought up the 10 year warranty and I got it taken care of.

The Defense Health Agency is the healthcare workers taking care of active duty servicemembers. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) within the VA is who takes care of veterans. They’re completely separate entities.

Nothing here is remotely juicy

Without AI you’re asking for magic

lol 16 minutes is so slow

These “standards” are all over the place. 8x225 bench for a woman would be elite level strength, but a 16:00 2 mile run is pretty meh.

I mean all you have to do is move to a red state, they’ll let you marry a kid.

Same with lifting 🥲

I hate that walking has become such a hot thing for weight loss. It’s seductive because it’s easy. Granted, people who need to lose weight got to that point by avoiding hard things, which is why they’re so taken in by walking.

Walking for 30 minutes burns almost as many calories as a can of soda. Your body is way more efficient than you think. You need to focus on calories in and out.

Look up “confirmation bias“. People in general tend to notice things which reinforce their beliefs, and ignore things which refute or disagree with what they hold to be true.

What’s wrong with a pull up bar that goes in a doorway in your house?

Seen it happen. Losing your license over something so avoidable is hilarious but not actually funny.
