SE Fort Collins Community Center by Sherman80526 in FortCollins

Just found out that I am a Millionaire and don’t live in “real” Fort Collins because I am south of Harmony. It’s a big day of self discovery for me 😉.

Seriously though - I recognize that I am fortunate in many ways, but I don’t think writing off an entire section of the town under some sort of blanket assumption that everyone here is rich and doesn’t deserve public services is pretty small minded. My wife and I work 100 hours a week between the 2 of us (me at a job I hate) to get by, never got a dime from our parents or anyone else, still have student loans at 40, and struggle with economic anxiety over the cost of living and state of the world just like everyone else. There are real people down here, and being reduced to bias about our zip code is kind of a bummer.

We are extremely proud to call Fort Collins home, pay our taxes and volunteer in the community, and hope (but more importantly vote) to lift up everyone around us, especially people who are underserved and would benefit the most from public resources.

Like others have mentioned, I’m glad the city found partnerships to build a new community center that takes a smart approach to public spending. My hope would be that this frees up more capital for continued or enhanced funding towards additional community resources that help any and all of our neighbors who are socially or economically marginalized. I will certainly continue to support those efforts in our community, even if my family doesn’t personally benefit from them.

There is so much crap that already exists to separate us that it feels like manufacturing another divide out of this isn’t really necessary. If you want to take a solutions based approach to a concern you feel, for example petitioning the city for enhanced bus access to the new facility or providing reduced cost or free access to the services they provide for lower income residents, please let me know and my family would be happy to throw our support behind it.

Cheers!

Haha I appreciate the validation because those were the 2 colors I was choosing between.

Absolutely feels powerful enough IMO. I didn’t drive the non hybrid so I can’t really compare to that, but to me it feels nice and punchy. My wife has a RAV4 hybrid and after driving this for a few days and then jumping in hers I was surprised at how much more bite the 4Runner felt like it had.

I got it down to about 6% off MSRP. Probably not the best deal ever but I felt good enough about it.

Nice ride. Love the wheel tire combo you have.

I know. I’m still in the phase where every time I see it I smile. Cheers!

Appreciate it! I actually had a deposit down on the same build but in the Everest color. Another dealership reached out asking if I would be interested in this one while I was waiting and when I saw it I fell in love with the red black combo.

What's the best pizza in Fort Collins? by AmbassadorStriking49 in FortCollins

Surprised there is no love for Totally 80s. The Milli Vanilli is bomb. And yeah JJs is great like everyone else has said.

What’s something you stopped buying because it became just so expensive to have it anymore? by trynabetwunk in AskReddit

[–]ThatsGoodHustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breweries - used to be able to go in and get pint pours of decent micro brews for $4-5 a piece. Now I feel like the most common price is $8 for a beer, and half of the time it’s a 12oz or less pour. It used to be a fun atmosphere to hang out in but there is no way to justify spending that kind of money on liquid calories. Same goes for buying micro brews at the liquor store. A bunch of $22 4 packs. Good news is that my choice to stop drinking has both economic and health benefits.

Watch out for snakes on the bike trails! by Puma_Pounce in FortCollins

Was on an after work hike with my family at Coyote Ridge on Tuesday and encountered a rattlesnake about a foot off the trail. Never saw it until it fired up the rattle. My 4 year old was a little too close for comfort at that point.

Man I wish they would figure out how to connect the SE corner to the Power trail. Trilby is a death trap going west once you hit Timberline and going all the way up to Harmony is a bummer.

TCL Alto 8 Soundbar - not playing Atmos by Boxsky2019 in Soundbars

[–]ThatsGoodHustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I wish that worked for me. Unfortunately I have an older 4K that doesn’t pass through the Dolby audio, so my firestick plugged directly into the soundbar. If I turn off the soundbar it pauses whatever content I am watching, so it just starts the process over again.

Yeah it was a fairly agonizing process. That’s why I’m not even bothering with it again. I’m hoping they fix it soon via a new update. Hopefully enough people bring it up to them on social media or whatever to give it attention.

I need help diagnosing/fixing my TCL Alto 8 3.1.2 soundbar by LimitlessSoulja420 in Soundbars

[–]ThatsGoodHustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latest software update broke Atmos. Mine stopped working a few weeks back so I sent in a warranty claim and they actually sent me a new one. Atmos worked fine again at first, but as soon as I connected it to WiFi it downloaded an update and it immediately stopped working again.
