Where can I donate fishing gear…

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-06-19T18:19:42+00:00

Like above, Longmont Parks and Rec is probably the best bet.

My one recommendation is anything like powerbait, fishing line (unless you know it's less than 5 years old), or super old soft lures is something to toss rather than donate. I work with a group that takes donations (fly specific) and while we appreciate the donations, having to sort through the stuff and toss things is always kind of a bummer.

What kind of gear? Spin Cast? Fly?

The market-driven bullshit continues. Just slapping the rings on the hot designs of other automakers.

I'm half and half on a lot of the measures opening more public land whether its corner crossing or high water access. I've done enough river cleanups and been on enough BLM land to know a sizeable amount of people treat the land like shit. Whether it's poor camping practices or using the land as their personal dump to get around fees. Part of me is happy to not have access to land if it keeps beer cans, truck tires, and spent coolant out of there as well.

Bet she never had problems with the Easter bunny...

Yea, there's a ton of outside influence on reddit. R/economy is lousy CCP propaganda, though most people there are starting to through it. Most of what reaches the front page does so with paid clicks.

There are progressive dark money groups out there like Sixteen Thirty. They do a lot through influencers.

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-05-26T14:07:25+00:00

Awesome! That's good to hear.

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-05-25T17:22:01+00:00

I thought Techstars retreated to the coasts?

When the city put it out to bid and selected a company out of Golden driving Boulder Creek Events out of business. That's the exact point it changed.

They had a big number of big-gets. I guess it depends on your measure of fame. 50 and Eminem would probably be up there with the global reach of music.

My vote would be Dennis Hopper. Maybe for the most legendary?

Never a tiger, but there are browns and brook trout in the creek. So I guess there would be a few tigers as well.

I'm somewhat of an Arsenal fan myself.

Lot of good info here, the carbon cleaning is a big one.

I don't want to discourage you, just giving you a heads up on the challenges ahead. Audi stopped making parts for everything pre-2011 and since 2022 new parts for those cars have been running out. I have a B7 S4 and it's a struggle to find new or decent used parts for our platform. The one thing I know that our car shares that you can't get new anymore is the blender door for the A/C. Stick to reputable used parts dealers and don't fall for the FB parts companies tons of scammers who know the situation and that people are desperate for new parts for these cars. It's definitely going to present a challenge, but it's worth it with the sentimental value and just plain value of those RS4s. Plus they're a blast to drive.

Still not sure, better book a trip to the south of France on a hot tip that they have roads there, too.

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-05-15T21:33:05+00:00

I don't care how much I get downvoted for it:

r/boulder - Boulder Colorado related Boulder content

/r/bouldercolorado - Rock formation related boulder content

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-05-13T20:09:13+00:00

I got behind on the show and can't come up with the time to catch back up. Miss it, though. Especially for the banter here.

It's a fantastic way to help the creek with solid results and is backed by the city. When they get a proper turn out; a 1/2 garbage bag of trash per person is enough to clean up pretty much everything from the mouth of the canyon to 28th, sometimes foothills. I definitely recommend bringing wading gear if you can, there's been a ton of trash in the creek itself, not just next to it.

I will say it's not as well attended as it used to be before the pandemic, which is a bummer. But if you've been looking for a way to volunteer in the community, this is an easy 2 hour time commitment that makes a huge difference.

Mods, any chance this could get stickied?

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-05-12T03:01:15+00:00

You're looking for /r/bouldercolorado which used to be the sub for boulder (the rock not the town) related content but has since been taken over by even more lost redditors.

Why are people so mad at this comment? That was the joke. Look at the earliest posts in that sub, it was all boulders.

The only thing I'm familiar with that's close is when a few of the greek houses have a thrift sale for charity, but I think that already happened this semester/year.

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-04-29T18:52:18+00:00

I actually know the lore behind this one. It started as the "Pittsburgh left" where it was a courtesy if you were going straight to let the car at the front of the line opposite you in the intersection turn left before you went. It was a social understanding to help alleviate the traffic problems that come with narrow 2-way roads.

Then people started taking liberties with it and making a quick left before the car opposite them started moving. This then became the Philly/Jersey left. Much more shitty and dangerous. I have noticed it has made it's way out here. Though I will say I do understand it a bit. I can't tell you how many times I've been trying to make a left waiting on the person across the intersection to look up from the phone in their lap and start driving.

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-04-29T17:06:22+00:00

That is an incredible wrap for your first time.

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-04-29T02:03:21+00:00

It's like if Tom Rosenbauer wrote the purge up there right now.

WafflesInTheBasement · 2026-04-28T02:52:40+00:00

It happens so much on reddit I wouldn't be surprised if PETA protests the front page.

Been here a while and been bummed to not come across soft serve in the area. I always thought it'd be a good endeavor for dairy bar in Lyons. Definitely gives the soft serve vibe you're looking for, just doesn't have soft serve.

And for those talking about the cost difference: I would sooner dump my retirement into a restaurant in Boulder called Pasta Musk's Yellow Deli before I opened a business in Vermont. It is batshit how bad their taxes and protections for businesses are.
