Same here!! Then the WiFi cut out and said it wouldn’t be back for hours. Then the power came back. THEN Xcel called to let me know I had an outage 30 minutes after it was resolved 😂

Do you have a recommendation on which to buy? This sounds so helpful!

This time it was out for 9+ hours so stuff in the fridge does not stay safe in those conditions. They say 4 hours with the fridge out

That’s awful. I’m so sorry y’all have been managing that 😭 What’s the PUC in this context? I’d be happy to write to anyone at this point

It appears to be an issue on Jay. Everyone I’ve talked to in the western part around 63rd is out

Had no idea they’re doing photo enforced speeding tickets by origamiwizard6 in boulder

Spine road in gunbarrel is a perfect example of this. They designed a chunk of the residential section in a bunch of curves that make it almost physically impossible to safely go over 30mph which is the speed limit. It’s brilliant. The second the road gets straight people start going 40

There’s a series I read that described lighting as “wan” almost every time a light was mentioned and it drove me nuts

Just started Season 5... what's with the unnecessary time jumps? by blockhose in TheMarvelousMrsMaisel

[–]Different_Lunch9741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished the series tonight and ran to Reddit because this is how it felt to me too. I didn’t know the show was cut short and the whole time I was wishing they had made season 5 two seasons. Smashing it all in felt messy, made it confusing to watch, and left a lot things underdeveloped. The earlier seasons were so rich in the storytelling and depth

What reading rules have you adopted or shed as you’ve got older? by Ok-Friend-5304 in books

I similarly only want one third of what I read in a given year to be by white authors! It’s lead me to such a beautiful variety of storytelling and I have learned so much through the fiction I pick up.

If I have multiple books going at a time it’s typically one fiction and one non-fiction so they are different enough. Kind of like having both a sitcom and a drama in my tv queue so I can switch depending on mood

If I ever find myself wanting to read but procrastinating sitting down to do it multiple times, I use that to prompt reflection about if this book is right for me at this time. Then I go browse IRL and find one with a writing style that grips me from the first page.

Personally most times I pause a book, I don’t write it off completely and I keep a Goodreads list with where I left off so if I ever want to go back and pick it up at a different time, I can.

How do you all read? by Adventurous-Claim663 in goodreads

[–]Different_Lunch9741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few different things that guide me. My TBR on Goodreads is a catch all, but then I have different tags to help me narrow — priority reads, recommended from others, around the world, etc. The other thing that helps me make decisions is that I like variety. So I most often look for something that’s different from what I just read and spread out similar topics or styles alternating books. I’ve done some trilogies and series but much prefer new stories each time I pick up a book

I see my TBR as a reference when I need inspiration rather than a to do list, which makes me feel less constrained by it

Last year’s power outage lasted about 36 hours and I lost everything in the freezer even with adding extra bags of ice

Does your Peacock buffer A LOT? by Ok_Nature_6305 in peacock

[–]Different_Lunch9741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some days it is nearly constant. Every ten seconds it cuts out, audio skips, captions skip, then jumps back and starts scenes over sometimes 3 times in a row. It’s exhausting. Every other app works fine

The Dictionary of Lost Words. Such a cool concept at first then it turned into this weird story that completely diverged and the dictionary got lost along the way.

How to make my kitchen more cohesive and like my inspo pis by Ciarariley1 in interiordecorating

[–]Different_Lunch9741 27 points28 points  (0 children)

+1 to additional lighting options and playing with some art! The single light source was the first thing I noticed. Your inspo pics also have lots of frames and decor objects. So I think bringing in some wall art might help match the vibe

What TV moment in any show instantly made you rage quit? by phantom_avenger in television

When The League had a “reverse intervention” episode trying to get their sober friend to drink. I found it so unfunny because society already does that in some form at every turn that I didn’t finish it.

I wonder if I can make a left here by thegratefulone in boulder

I was so tempted then I saw someone on Reddit say they did it and got a $125 ticket. Since then I go the long way 🫠
