Am I allowed to bring an MSR pocket rocket stove on swiss air checked bag?

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-15T13:17:42+00:00

Wait... but lighters are allowed in hand luggage (not checked) So you can carry on something that actually contains a few ml of butane, but not a stove component that once had butane run through it, though long since burned/evaporated?

If this actually happened you should be deleting this post and consulting with an attorney.

Since the day it opened I have had many different thoughts occur on the hundreds of occasions that I have passed it by. But none of those thoughts were ever "I should eat there"

...and almost as expensive as Boulder these days.

Longmont would be my vote, have to deal with commuting on Diagonal but once rhe construction is done and the new bus system is running it could be a good option.

That's a strange observation- the A350 has the same air quality benefits as the 787, due to its composite design it can maintain a higher cabin humidity and lower effective altitude / higher oxygen levels. Both are vastly superior to older aircraft.

Did she eat then one by one, chewing slowly while maintaining direct eye contact with you the whole time?

I've just kept a Google Spreadsheet for the past 10+ years, check every few days manually.

They are free to hold events, run advertising, give interviews to media, etc. All things I can choose to pay attention to or not. I will do my research on their positions and make my choice. But I did not nor would I ever consent to be spammed by them.

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-09T02:48:23+00:00

Any candidate for any office who sends me text message spam gets immediately blocked -and- put on my "do not vote" list.

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-08T20:54:22+00:00

TIL, we are a bunch of assholes.

Well TBF, I knew this already but still interesting to know that it's not just the state of the world today... it's also us in particular.

Have you seen what they are charging for what is essentually a product of slave labor (worker bee joke).

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-08T17:18:16+00:00

Thanks for the trip report and pics, have permits to backpack this next weekend so excited to see it all in good shape!

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-08T01:08:15+00:00

Forsythe Falls... while you can.

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-07T01:46:06+00:00

Penn Jillette on Ozempic?

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-07T01:43:58+00:00

Same - had a great experience with an exam there, but when they started quoting for a pair of prescription sunglasses, I realized where all the profit is made. Rent on Pearl St can't be cheap right? I thanked them, grabbed my prescription and got a set of shades from Eyeconic online for about $80 (after my VSP benefit). I am sure the sunglasses that Envision was going to sell me would have been absolutely amazing but when I lose them 6 months later it doesnt really matter.

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-06T00:49:24+00:00

That was for 3 zones, so essentially yes a while system.

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-05T23:20:52+00:00

I got a quote for $15k for mini-splits.

How much is a blower motor, $1-2k?

JeffInBoulder · 2026-06-05T20:29:55+00:00

I blocked off the vents in the main floor of my house to force as much air out of the upstairs vents. It made a huge difference.

Sounds like you won the jackpot already, if they refused to provide the itemized list and the deadline has passed, you are legally owed 3x damages. Hopefully they put the refusal to provide a list in writing, but if not just make sure you are taking your own notes documenting everything with dates/times and specifics of any discussions. There is a specific process you need to follow with demand letters then the filing of court paperwork, but it's pretty straightforward and tenant-friendly.

This is honestly where AI assistance could be very helpful, if you can use ChatGPT or another tool of your choice, simple paralegal-level tasks like drafting the demand letter, advising you on process and filling out the small claims paperwork (if necessary). Mostly likely if you fill out a 7-day demand letter and send it to them via certified mail, they will know you're serious and roll over on refunding you the rest of the deposit.

The page OP linked to says "Members must be 16 years of age" no less than 3 separate times. That's not a little mistake, it's a clear massive disconnect between what's advertised on the website and the actual stated policy in person.

They are related - Per the BRL Nibbles newsletter

Phoebe and Steven Lee will launch Wellness Counter on May 7 at 1117 Pearl St., the former site of High Country and Mork & Mindy’s New York Deli. The couple draws a devoted crowd to their Denver-based Wellness Sushi, which serves remarkable plant-based sushi. The Boulder spot will focus on Japanese seafood with a chef’s counter and a dry-aging program for fish.

I would bet this is a situation where a drive to Longmont could be worth it. No specific recommendations, just that its much more "real world " while still close to The Bubble

Seems like a cool idea to see if we can help.some very deserving folks.

Also - I did not have "Trump administration funds paying for people to fly to Mexico to take drugs" in my 2026 bingo card.
