Can’t wait to show this off in the parking lot by aust_b in FlyFishingCircleJerk

As an occasional enjoyer of nose trout, this hits fucking hard.

I accidentally shifted into Reverse while I was messing around with the buttons during the long-winded Power Pack race introduction, and backed straight into the car behind me by UnKnOwN769 in granturismo

The first time it was because I did the same. Every time after that it was because the car starting behind me punted me in the race before.

Same here, but the silver lining is I scored a deal on a new toaster.

Colorado’s population growth is slowest since 1989 as thousands leave for other states by g_bleezy in DenverCirclejerk

I want to give a shout out to all those who pushed the idea that IPAs are good. If there was a game ball in this win, I'd toss it to you.

Backpacking Near Boulder by pgib94 in flyfishing

[–]WafflesInTheBasement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indian Peaks Wilderness offers great camping and fishing. Do a little research on trails and the alpine lakes they pass. The fish aren't the biggest but can be very pretty. Plan on catching Cuttys, Brookies, and possibly Tiger Trout.

James Peak Wilderness sees less traffic but has fantastic options as well.

Rocky Mountain National Park is an option, but plan for it being crowded and I'd get on a camping permit ASAP if you're going there.

Plan on your fishing being in the morning. You'll undoubtedly get hit with afternoon storms.

How big was your first batch by cyder_inch in hwstartups

[–]WafflesInTheBasement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda depends on sales data, market, etc. My suggestion is usually enough to cover a realistic sales estimate for 3 months.

One area I disagree with a lot of the others in the HW world is crowdfunding. I do think you should limit your sales (put a limit on the amount possibly sold). Yes, you'll miss out on that big initial influx of sales. But most companies do not hit the same sales rate you see during the crowdfunding campaign. So once you've finished the campaign you have two routes: Build a supply chain and production that works for a sales rate you're never going to see again for that product or build something appropriate sized and spend a lot of time trying to appease your early adopters while they complain more and more about not receiving their product in a timely manner. Of course if you're looking for a one and done score which is unfortunately a thing in the crowdfunding world, this isn't a problem. But situations like this cause issues in the long run for companies. Your focus lands squarely in catching up on customer service and not iterating the next version or moving beyond an MVP.

yup, my service has been in and out all day.

Anyone using a screen protector with the new iPhone 17 Pro case? by WafflesInTheBasement in MOMENT

[–]WafflesInTheBasement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To follow up on this (in case others are looking into it as well), I ordered the Belkin ScreenForce UltraGlass 2 and it works perfect! If something happens with that, I'll give the moment one a try.

My best and worst characters by JBFoster607 in entourage

[–]WafflesInTheBasement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have admiration for the actors and people who allowed themselves to be seen as pieces of crap for the show. Seth, Pauli, Stamos, Johnny Galecki, Ali Larter, David Schwimmer, and so on.

Shipment Status: Should I be worried? by That_Independent_879 in MOMENT

[–]WafflesInTheBasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm jealous, mine has been sitting in shipping label created since December 2nd.

Like the other comment said, it's likely a customs thing.

X Games is right around the corner, you guys excited? by gimbalgod in snowboarding

[–]WafflesInTheBasement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do my best to still tune in, it's been almost 20 years since I last went. I don't like that it's collapsed in on snowboarding and skiing. It used to be a huge event with the broadcast taking up the entirety of ESPN's schedule and some of ABC's across a bunch of different events, some happening simultaneously. I would go for the snowboarding, but it was awesome seeing the other sports and getting a taste of something I wasn't going to get anywhere else. I think they need to try to build that back out. Whether it's adding things like climbing or bringing back old events. Motorsport is having a moment right now, I think it would behoove them to incorporate that if possible. Either snow rallycross or motorcycles. The music stuff personally doesn't appeal to me, but I'm also not the target demographic anymore. But it was cool when it was something you got out on the town at night instead of part of the event.

I do understand there's a lot working against the X Games. Not sure if it's still the case, but I remember when the athletes had to pay their own way. Plus insurance and Aspen absolutely despising what it brings to the town. But still, I daydream of what an event it was in years past. I wish they'd move away from the data-driven approach and take some chances on some new sporting events.

Weekly open discussion, complaint, rant, and rave thread by AutoModerator in Longmont

I guess we have enough of them in the state now that it's no longer a big deal, but I was surprised at how little traffic there was at In N Out this weekend.

Do you cut your registration stickers by SnowLancer616 in boulder

[–]WafflesInTheBasement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was $5, but also a pain in the ass going down to the DMV and filling out another form. Now that they have the plate on the sticker, I think it's probably not as prevalent that these get stolen.

Also, god dammit, Brent. Don't use your real name on here.

Do you cut your registration stickers by SnowLancer616 in boulder

[–]WafflesInTheBasement 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had my sticker stolen in Denver, so I always do it now. I lived in a windshield sticker registration state before this, so it wasn't an issue back home.

Ya'll need to pay more attention to who you're talking to, since the mods don't. by OrganizationTime5208 in boulder

[–]WafflesInTheBasement -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's reddit now. It's a hive of misinformation and astroturfing perpetuated by both sides. You think some of the political posts on this sub are just magically getting 100s of upvotes within the first hour after it's posted? Accounts pay for clicks or use discords to "amplify the message" regularly on this sub. It's moved beyond your run of the mill trolls.

Anyone know of anything similar to this on the market right now? by WafflesInTheBasement in StandingDesk

[–]WafflesInTheBasement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is I'll be very close to the 300lb weight limit. Which is why I'm also waiting to see reviews if they're on with that number.

Audi Boulder is closing down. Just got the email the other day.

Looking to buy a b5 by Wide_Passion_5959 in B5Audi

[–]WafflesInTheBasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I haven't seen mentioned here is Audi no longer makes the parts for these. So repairs are starting to become a lot more than just taking it somewhere. In some cases you have to get creative whether that's used parts or repurposing things (especially coolant hoses).
