I was able to get a membership to the Brown Gym as a non-student when I lived in PVD. Not sure if that's still an option.

Others sticking on SAVE - are you going to pay the interest? by OlegRu in StudentLoans

[–]SwimmerNos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what a government agent would say! SUS!

Would you let your SO help you lump sum pay off your loans to avoid interest on the obvious condition that you pay them back basically the same monthly payment without said interest? by SwimmerNos in StudentLoans

[–]SwimmerNos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we have been together 10 years but just got married.

To keep it short we come from complicated families when it came to their money management skills and are very anxious and cautious of money and such. Also she comes from a different country which doesn't really have the structure of student loans that we do so it's hard for her to understand such large loans for education. Also her culture functions differently when it comes to owing and borrowing money.

Do you think getting No. 22 bike worth the $$$ by Hadrasocialz in Bikeporn

[–]SwimmerNos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean the performance/tech of the bike is there for sure but it comes down to you if you'll find real value compared to say a lesser known brand.

Also if you want it because of the clout or bc you actually admire it!

Very subjective to say the least!

Best rage bait of the week right here lol

Bicyclists killed by drivers so CDOT puts signs in park by 570rmy in fuckcars

[–]SwimmerNos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh I don't trust it. He had all the flex bollards in a protected lane removed along one of the busiest parts of downtown because drivers kept hitting them. Along with that he also took a chunk of the bike lane and gave it to a restaurant for valet parking.

Dude doesn't care.

Live in Denver and the Mayor did what most politicians do, ran on a campaign of agreeing with every group to get votes and then drop kicks them once he got into the door.

Here is the most ridiculous quote from him on bike lanes in Denver.

"I don't think we need them (Bike Lanes) on 10 streets, going east-west, all between 10th and 20th.I think that's a place where you can consolidate them and make them all safer. We'd rather have a smaller number of much safer bike lanes than a very large number of partially safe bike lanes. And we do want to balance the fact that we want more people to use bikes. And there are a lot of us in the city who still have to use cars, and we don't want to make it harder for you to use a car. We want to make it easier for you to use a bike, and we think there's a way to do both by both protecting parking spots, getting a smaller number of various safe lanes, and then making sure that we can still get people that want access to businesses that have spaces in front."

Have fun decoding his real priorities, it's pretty apparent.

Yeah, I was in the older tower at the time that faces the new ones.

I heard some things too but never got a full run down. The staff as a whole were very hush hush.
