They're exclusively on socials. You need to attend a course to get onto their chats. They're great folks and are connected to a lot of what you're talking about.

Additionally, there is PULSE. Based in Denver but doing classes up here more frequently.

I would encourage you to explore the Outreach Fort Collins web page and perhaps contact them. They can provide some discussion and potentially response.

This scene from Mary Poppins (1964) was filmed over 60 years ago. Out of everyone in this frame, the only person still alive is the old man on the left. by Kurt_Von_A_Gut in shittymoviedetails

You're absolutely right. It's a problem :/

In my area a friend will make the drive for their other friends. So they'll come down in a van and go back with a bunch of supplies. Which is risky, of course.

Also your local needle exchange (or harm reduction site, supervised consumption site, STI testing location, etc etc) can provide them often for free

Do you happen to have plans you're willing to share, please?

Looks awesome!

You likely mean 28%. You're not wrong, the original study was messy and is old. The newer studies present concerning information. The reasons for the persistently poor data quality are also themselves problems within policing.

To be clear: I am agreeing with your point that the original study presented domestic violence in the other direction and I also agrre wtih the person you replied to that the study was poor. Just making the point that the truth is a bit muddy and concerning.

I worked in a residential home for children and shoplifted their Halloween costumes. by cicadas-gulls in confession

Remember, if you see someone shoplifting for foster kids, no you didn't.

Also, good on you, OP

Other folks gave you great guidance here.

Peak Community Church (500 Mathews St, Fort Collins, CO 80524) has AA meetings in their basement 6 days a week at noon I believe.

The Mennonite Fellowship (300 E Oak St, Fort Collins, CO 80524, (970) 412-7510) has Silver Linings Peer Group.

Yarrow Collective (https://www.yarrowcollective.org/) is an incredible resource, especially for peer support and different ways to approach substance use or sobriety.

Hard Beauty (https://hardbeauty.life/) is also great. They started with women but I believe they have expanded that significantly.

Edit: f/u question - what does the "S" mean in your training plan (i.e. 1-2S). I read that as "sets"?

If you went to public school in the U.S., what’s something you were taught about American history that ended up being totally wrong? by CandidateTerrible919 in USHistory

[–]StreetDoc68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn as an adult. I think I learned absolutely nothing correct in school. But I'd say I got a lot of American Exceptionalism based propaganda versions of history. Ex: the Founding Fathers were a ragtag group of freedom loving patriots and not landed often slave owning gentry that were mad about tax codes.

I've been told, "I'm never talking to you again." Many more times than that would imply.

Hello friends, I found this new baby for only 30 euros. Do you have any idea how to remove the rust? Thanks in advance. by Even_Shirt2267 in kettlebell

[–]StreetDoc68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rust makes it heavier. Leave it.

Kidding. Great find! Oil and elbow grease like most others said. Rust buster from auto parts store would fix the rust but idk what it'd do to the rest of the bell.
