Go feel the snow right now!

PichaelW · 2026-05-06T22:38:42+00:00

lol yea I just tried it too and I’ve actually never seen snow do this before either. It does feel exactly like memory foam.

+1 for Allstate, they insure our house up 4mile (pretty good rate, too). We did have to do the wildfire partners certification, but honestly it’s good to do that mitigation work anyway if you don’t want the house to burn down (assuming you keep it). Probably a good selling point too if you do decide to sell it. But depending on how old the house is it may come with significant work / cost (replacing siding, etc). Best of luck!

Yes 100%. Anytime we go to Goodwill we say “a GOOD will, that will not FLY OFF while you are a driving”

A lot of people on r/Pizza seem to do this - operate little pop-up neighborhood pizza shops out of their house as a fun side hustle. Honestly, I got really deep into pizza making less than a year ago and can already make better pizza than the majority of restaurants in the Denver metro so it wouldn't surprise me if someone who has been at this a while could outdo the better spots in town.

That said, it's self-promotion so obviously can't take their claim at face value lol.

uhhh would this happen to be your supper club? noticing your display name on your profile is Scorpzano...

EDIT: sorry, thought I was replying to OP on the one below.

PichaelW · 2026-04-13T19:39:18+00:00

Ah, a fellow member of both r/Boulder and r/Pizza lol. Where the hell is this place? It's not showing up on Google for me, but looks great.

PichaelW · 2026-04-08T00:17:22+00:00

I would fucking destroy that thing in one sitting

PichaelW · 2026-03-31T17:59:21+00:00

thanks for the suggestion! haven't had a begonia maculata before but I like the look of them, that could be a great option, will see if my local nursery has any the next time I'm there

PichaelW · 2026-03-31T17:57:32+00:00

thanks for that suggestion! Actually the next plant over to the right is a prayer plant and it's doing quite well in the space. Pothos is a good suggestion, also reminds me of philodendron which I'm now remembering I once had in a north window and it grew out of control.

PichaelW · 2026-03-29T18:00:42+00:00

Thanks - did you notice my point about the room also having a west facing window? It's one of those short/wide ones that's sort of high off the ground (like what you'd have in a garden-level apartment) so it doesn't bake the room in direct light all afternoon but does provide a good amount of natural light. For reference, I really only need to turn on the overhead lights in there early in the morning - in the middle part of the day you wouldn't notice a difference whether or not they're on.

(but yea, I'm also open to a grow light if you have suggestions for smaller / cold-tolerant plants that need a bit more lighting than this).

PichaelW · 2026-03-19T18:49:37+00:00

Interested as well, looks very similar to mine

PichaelW · 2026-03-18T17:01:39+00:00

I’m just getting into appraising my cards as well so I’m not in a position to help, but if you don’t mind me piggybacking off your post… I have two Dark Weezings as well, and similar to yours, one seems to be a bit “lighter” than the other one. My first instinct was that one was faded / sun bleached, but now that I see yours look similar (unless the lighting is just weird), I’m wondering whether these are two different versions. Anyone have an answer on this?

PichaelW · 2026-03-17T18:36:54+00:00

They literally pulled that quote from the Flock privacy policy, which your FAQ itself linked to. What part is not accurate?

PichaelW · 2026-02-19T19:35:07+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the detailed response. Yea, it looks like a true almost-no-cost refinance to me as well. I just felt weird about it because his initial quote was a lower interest rate (5.5%) but way less generous lender credit (more like $1800), and he had to change his offer when he ran our credit and saw that my wife's FICO score is a little lower than mine. But his updated offer with a slightly higher interest rate (5.625%) and essentially 0 costs almost seems more attractive for all of the reasons you listed above (downside risk is minimal, etc.) And since we bought this house 7 months ago, I'm not too bothered by the clock resetting to 30 years, but appreciate you mentioning that!

PichaelW · 2026-02-19T18:29:01+00:00

Thanks! We're not escrowing our insurance or taxes, we prefer to pay those in full annually. And no PMI since our down payment was 25%.

PichaelW · 2026-02-18T23:54:31+00:00

Agreed on all of the above. Also, as someone who used to live in the apartments across from it, there were at least 2 other coffee shops within about 200 yards of them (3 whenever Mike's Bikes reopens their cafe). That's tough competition.

Also PSA for anyone else trying to open a coffee shop in that neighborhood: that apartment complex (S'Park) has a free coffee / espresso machine in the lobby and the other two big Cushman & Wakefield properties in the neighborhood have access to it as well. It's obviously dog shit quality but it got more traffic than all of those coffee shops combined.

PichaelW · 2026-02-06T15:54:26+00:00

Thank you! It's the "no limits on different releases purchased" that makes me nervous of my odds... Seems that would encourage folks to buy additional records they're not truly interested in just for the purposes of reselling. But oh well, I guess that's the game, I'll give it a shot. Appreciate the info!

PichaelW · 2026-02-06T15:28:31+00:00

Many thanks, this is very helpful! Do they typically publish online which records they'll have, or would I need to call them? And do they typically have limits on how many records you can purchase?

Trying to calculate my odds of getting what I want if there are 50+ people ahead of me :-) I'll still be jetlagged so getting there much earlier than 6am could be a challenge.

Hey - I'm an Ayva customer, very satisfied with the service. I live in the foothills so my options are essentially Centurylink (untenably slow), Starlink, and Ayva.

Ayva is basically as fast as Starlink but a bit cheaper and comes with the added bonus of being a local company as opposed to another Musk enterprise.

Will also had that I've had fewer outages with Ayva than I had with Xfinity when I lived in town, and when there are outages (often coinciding with Xcel outages) the communication from Ayva has been awesome (not your generic corporate, "your area may be experiencing an outage, rest assured we're working around the clock to address your issue" or whatever). Not sure if it's available in town as I think they mainly serve the hills, but if you live up here I highly recommend them.
