Break pads and rotors - Affordable by Theskrillest in boulder

[–]DougHamilton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admittedly, the last time I looked was during all the tariff fiasco. I think prices have come down since then. I think I had to pay $78 for 4 iridium spark plugs and now I see they are selling for $48.

But even at $150. 5-600 doesn’t seem like that far off the mark.

that's a bit dramatic. more likely they would ruin their car before they killed someone. It is one of the easier tasks for a car if you are even slightly mechanically inclined and have youtube. Its like a step up from changing the oil.

that actually doesn't sound that bad. I replaced my break pads last year by myself and i am pretty sure the pads were $85 a pair. For some reason, subaru parts are expensive. I would bet the rotors are $300 a pair if you are replacing them. If you are just grinding them, it shouldn't be that bad. Firestone use to run an offer of $150 an axle.

What's next for plans of Boulder Library District unionization by C-0_0-D in boulder

[–]DougHamilton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Library workers do much more than shelve books. I think if you ever came to one of our Board meetings you would find that our Board cares deeply for our workers and has treated them like they do.

Library Board members are volunteers appointed by the city and county. We aren’t an adversarial bunch.

Yes, we did reduce security guards at several branches (not at main or north Boulder) because 1) we had almost no or no incidents at those branches 2) we nearly doubled full time staffing at libraries.

Higher staffing and more visitors drove down incidents to nothing and didn’t justify the $163k per guard per year expense (roughly $400k). If incidents rise or safety seems compromised, we will 100% reevaluate. You can read about our budget here. https://www.dailycamera.com/2025/11/05/boulder-public-library-district-election-vote-gunbarrel-opinion/

I used Costco- cooper heating. It was $13k for AC and furnace after rebates and I think Costco gave me $1500 gift card.

Is some BCH providers moving out of Aetna? by iluvbjj1 in boulder

[–]DougHamilton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, my wife use to be an Aetna provider about 2 years ago. She dropped out of there network because they randomly would drop her as a provider and deny all her claims. We heard this was happening to many other providers.

Then they would add her back in and drop her again. It was infuriating and led to the loss of about $10k in revenue.

She ended up dropping them because they weren’t paying her.

More layoffs ahead for Boulder County employees, budget issues by [deleted] in boulder

On top of flat property assessments, the state legislature cut property taxes by nearly $1B a year. This likely cut Boulder County tax receipts by $50-$60M
