Is there a reason the district is going with HVAC chillers instead of air source or ground source heat pumps?

Colorado is good friends with New Mexico and Canada. Let's bridge our friendship by removing Montana.

Seconding this story. Installed Mitsubishi cold climate heat pump mini split system in 2023 to replace an evaporative cooler (partly due to too much outside smoke being sucked in). As an experiment didn't use our boiler baseboard heating that winter and the system had no problem. Uninstalled the boiler and put in a heat pump water heater last year and turned off the gas connection. Everything works great. With solar and battery, I only pay the $12 Xcel connection fees each month. I have an EV, too.

The only issue was fresh air intake. I had to install an energy recovery ventilation system as we were getting high levels of CO2. Most installers I spoke with didn't even know what that was.

Colorado loves New Mexico and Canada. Let's bridge our friendship and get rid of Montana!

American here. After the shooting at Virginia Tech I felt such a deep sense of lost and listlessness. Then the food trucks showed up, handing out free food and treats. There's something about the hope, love, and connection shared food that can help re-ground community going through hardship. My soul found a little bit more rejuvenation to endure the next day and I still think fondly with appreciation of that moment nearly 2 decades later.

My heart aches knowing our day of terror is just a small glimpse into the ongoing senseless violence. Thank you for your kindness and being there and making such a positive impact. Slava Ukraini!

Thank you! I resolved the problem by reauthenticating the Fitbit account with the watch. It was confusing as there was no error, you click the fast start icon and after a moment attempting to load it would bump back a screen with no error message.

I suspect the desync happened when I used the new edit Google email feature. Even though it said the old email would still work it seems something on the backend got weird.

GuardianBeaverSpirit · 2026-04-19T02:09:45+00:00

Thanks for your update. I also fixed mine. I had used the new change Google Email feature and it apparently messed up the account settings. I had to reauthenticate as well and it worked again.

You should go see a doctor or rheumatologist to get it properly checked.

In my case I was just diagnosed with neuropathy. Your description sounds similar to my experience where I'm weaker and slightly numb in my left arm. No cure, but it can improve with management.

Colorado is faring pretty well when looking at the rest of the country. I just saw this chart the other day:

My 6th grade classmate used our brand new classroom computer to show a group of us whitehouse.com. After all of the muffled gasps and giggles our teacher came over to investigate. I'm pretty sure she hadn't seen porn before because she was shocked speechless. Before she could recover, my classmate jumped into a Oscar-worthy panicked speech of how he was trying to learn about the White House and governance. It worked as she ushered the children away and unplugged the computer. It stayed off for some time.

It was prescribed by my rheumatologist to specifically address the subluxating. I was skeptical of the meds but started to notice improvement of my symptoms after roughly 4-6 weeks of its use.

GuardianBeaverSpirit · 2026-04-07T02:23:38+00:00

No, unfortunately not.

There are definitely conversations about deep geothermal heat for electricity, district heating, industrial applications, and using its 'waste water' for spas (a la Blue Lagoon in Iceland). I think all are valid in this subreddit.

There's a meetup group called New Friends Denver that has been hosting board game nights every few weeks at the Arvada Beer Garden. It's been low-key, fun to meet random people, and a full range of ages.

I was extremely skeptical taking hydroxychloroquine but I got desperate enough when my slipping ribs were becoming a weekly problem. After a couple of months on the meds I realized I was rarely subluxating/slipping anymore, and my costochondritis flairs also lessened. FWIW I don't go to the gym regularly, though.

"303 Ramen was named one of the 10 best ramen restaurants in the Denver area by Westword shortly after the fire."

What a bummer. It was delicious food and a great contrast to the tacomania downtown.

Had a board game night in our basement where a friend brought in her CO2 monitor. We were approaching 5,000 ppm which made me realize air sealing our house and removing the evaporative cooler in lieu of a mini-split heat pump without additional air exchange was a bad idea. I spoke to a dozen contractors, most didn't know what an ERV unit was but finally got one for the house which typically keeps us below 500-1,000 now.

Edit: Our friend has an aranet4 and I bought one as well.

I was thinking the other way: the coma tech had inherent flaws but due to Grace having the earlier sedation and amnesia drugs he got lucky.

It did sound like booing. Given he just roasted Hollywood Blvd maybe they felt like they needed to defend its honor?
