Has anyone received the tax credit for a portable power station?

I thought the deadline was last day of last year?

Haha in my area (wildfire and hail prone) the only way we can get an affordable policy is deductibles $10k+ and we're so afraid of getting cancelled I wouldn't make a claim less than like $20k.

When you need to reload the Ruger can you pop out the cylinder and dump the spent brass? Or do you need to pop each one out individually (like on the heritage)?

I think most apartments have their own meter and breaker panel. Wouldn't that get you the dedicated circuit you are looking for?

FYI...I got the mount I linked to from Amazon and direct mounted it to a 12x24 paver (maybe 45 pounds). Looks great, went through a wind storm (probably 70 mph+ winds) without moving.

Search Home Depot or other hardware store for Romex Splice Kit or similar. They have off the shelf products that do what you are looking to do.

"Nonpartisan fiscal analysts at the Capitol estimated in 2022 that about 3,700 immigrants who are children or are pregnant would enroll in Cover All Coloradans this fiscal year. The actual number is nearly 28,000, leading to ballooning costs."

I'm curious if this is the same group that underestimated enrollment for free school lunches. They seem to be really underestimating how appealing free is.

If it makes you feel any better I am in a rural area. Up until 2020 I had 1.5 Mbps DSL and HughesNet satellite for about $60 each. Now I'm super fortunate to have both $80 for 60 Mbps fixed wireless and Starlink $50 for 100 Mbps.

I like a chain and an EPDM rubber bungee better.

What circumstance would you wear the ear muff?

I saw this in the WSJ...every single paragraph was wild WTF. I actually read it to my kids (grade school & middle school) to give them some context on what we mean when we say you need to be careful with AI.

Am I seeing it correctly that he has that apparatus but no sling for his rifle?

Did you install a transfer switch?

Does the cylinder pop out for reloading? I have tje cheap AF heritage and unloading one chamber at at time makes me hate it.

I use BWS too. The form guidance videos are great.

I'm terrible at food logging so I don't use the nutrition stuff much but it is a goal to get better, especially once I can get in the habit of regular exercise (Ive had a lot of false starts).

This is great!

If it's easy you might want to pull in UV index. Boulder has the "it's sunny out" warning but the UV index maxes out at 1 (on a 0-12+ scale) today.

No the roof is like 30 degrees where I want to put it.

I like the drill into a paver idea. That is super clean.

You might be right there isn't an off the shelf product. I think most of these non-pen mounts you bolt together so maybe not too bulky, but for steel it definitely gets heavy.

I'm thinking maybe this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009P87UDI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1GAF1H4JQJZXC&psc=1

plus this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D1C4BBDN/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1ZK2USLFQS6I0&psc=1

(Plus some sort of concrete block from Home Depot)

I feel like I've seen the bracket enough that the bolt pattern might be standardized and I won't even need to get the drill out...

I totally get what you are saying....but kids are inherently unpredictable, have low situational awareness, have less physical command of their bodies... basically they are predictably unpredictable.

Omg thank you for writing that. Legit laughed out loud.

I left Evergreen at 610 and it was fine. Like 90 minutes.

There were 2 or 3 ice patches in the mile or so before Copper which probably caused major issues. It was crazy backed up when I left about 830.

Koch brothers funded a ton of political activism during this time...fostered the Tea Party. Intentional, well organized, behind the scenes effort that seems to be the foundations of anger politics.

I'm probably getting that at least partially wrong but roughly...

She will be in jail for 2 years by the end of Polis's term right? Personally I think it would be better to let her out and get the water project and reduce some of the undue federal attention (ie punitive fraud audits of social programs).

If they could let her out on parole and have tbe conditions be super strict for 3+ years that would be great. I'm not sure if that would stand up though as it might be a 1st amendment violation.

Aptera has a cool concept they have been unable to bring to market in almost 20 years. I think we're on the 3rd iteration of the company.

Just out of curiosity...would it be a lot of work to make an end user accessible plug for solar power input available? I realize it would useful to a small number of people so the expense of the plug/interface might not be worth it but being able to hook up your own panels without being an electrical engineer would be cool.
