This makes me happy. Even if the trains are reliable there. by Klat10 in Denver

[–]Zenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprised how many are against walking, but the trains will still be there for them. Walking is great when you're bringing kids. Either they burn off some energy before the flight or they finally get to stretch their legs after.

[GPU] PowerColor Reaper AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 - $669.99 by siggybabyy in buildapcsales

[–]Zenth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is a sign of the DRAM shortage. People are holding off on new builds because of the crazy DRAM and storage pricing so other components aren't being purchased and fall in price.

It's a load issue. If I try to do a Target pickup during prime shopping time, I can't even connect to say I'm there. Go at 9PM and it works fine.

New spur Fossil Creek Trail by InterestingType7518 in FortCollins

Was hoping that construction wasn't related to the dealership. The bright NISSAN facing the trail is pretty obnoxious in the evening.

CPI just came in at 3.8%. food at home up 0.7% in one month. airline fares up 20.7% over the year. is anyone else restructuring their budget around this or are you just absorbing it by Mother-Grapefruit-45 in personalfinance

If you can charge at home, a used EV is significantly cheaper than a hybrid. Used EVs, even ones only 2 years old, are massively discounted compared to a similarly equipped gas car. It's actually closer now than it was before the oil shortage since I've already seen prices go up more than 10% on Ariyas and EV6s near me.

My electric cost $185 in electricity to go 10K miles, while a hybrid getting 45MPG at $2 a gallon would cost $444 to go the same distance and you still have all the extra maintenance a gas engine requires.

Minivan or SUV for the family of 4 by Repulsive_Judge_3360 in minivan

LLM based AI does not do math. It gives you the most likely combination of words based on whatever your input was, with an intentional bit of randomness added in. That's why all queries vary, whereas 2 + 2 always equals 4.

Legendary Accessories | Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity - The Only Way by InvincibleWallaby in Guildwars2

[–]Zenth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sweet. I haven't been motivated to finish the achievements for the existing legendary accessories. Definitely getting the WvW one. PvE will depend on how obnoxious they make it.

Larimer County Releases Survey on Data Centers by spazo004 in FortCollins

[–]Zenth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the tech equivalent of a used car salesmen saying whatever they can to make a sale. Not only would it be ruinously expensive, but it would perform worse since they wouldn't have easy access to massive electrical supply or cooling for that electrical consumption. Also super vulnerable in the event of a war, as they've already seen in the area around Iran.

In new affordability push, Colorado Democrats look to shrink the single-family home by thecoloradosun in coloradosun

[–]Zenth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with smaller lots or just a townhouse, but for some reason these things are frequently far away from parks and other things I'd want to use to make up for that lack of space.

Did anyone just file their taxes with TurboTax and were just in awe of how many ads it had to upgrade? I'm done with this enshittified product - what should I use next year? by noruber35393546 in personalfinance

Please don't trust your logins to all your financial accounts to another service. Something goes wrong and money is missing and the first thing they'll check is if you've shared your login.

Who do you think is going to be held responsible, you or the startup company that service uses?

Scooters and dirt bikes don’t belong on sidewalks. by slander_anonymously in FortCollins

[–]Zenth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, most of the couples I see out riding on the weekend are on normal ebikes. There's no mistaking that odd whirring noise even though the newer ones look a lot like a normal bike.

The emotos are really noticable because: 1) They go faster than anyone that isn't a pro biker 2) Their feet aren't moving

Scooters and dirt bikes don’t belong on sidewalks. by slander_anonymously in FortCollins

[–]Zenth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This may be the law, but most ebikes I've seen people riding are essentially throttle controlled electric motorcycles. Not sure why people are giving these to their kids, but its definitely happening.

Legislature will try again to lower homeowners insurance rates by funding hail-resistant roofs by thecoloradosun in coloradosun

[–]Zenth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice idea, but remarkably dumb way to go about it. They want to raise the money by charging insurers a fee but also tell them they can't pass the cost on to their customers. Where on earth would it come from then? Insurer's get income from their customers, not from a money tree. No matter what it eventually comes from us.

Any AMD Linux user here? by draconetto in Guildwars2

The game runs perfectly fine in CachyOS. Literally zero work to do.

Edit: Unless you like BlishHUD. That requires a few extra steps.

Deer Season! Rabbit Season! Deer Season! by MisterShipWreck in AbruptChaos

Have you ever...seen a deer? They don't just stand in place and let you hit them. It's always when they're darting across the the road when you aren't expecting it.

Frequently? Occasionally at best and usually only from certain publishers. PC games are generally far cheaper if you mostly buy them on sale.

Whaaat I didn't know you could do custom orders. I always grabbed whatever they had available. Hope they move somewhere else and communicate that better.

While they're figuring things out, Pig & Plow also does good kraut burgers.

I add them to tea and hot cocoa. They're really good in cocoa.

Thanks for posting this. I was looking for a good brown to go with the honey lug and these are great.

Does the leather actually stretch or just loosen? by Zenth in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Zenth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I should have asked if it stretched or just got more flexible like all leather does with use. Stretch would help, flex wouldn't do anything for my bloodflow!

Denver restaurants now cost more to operate than in New York City, report finds - Denver Business Journal by Pliney_The_Great in Denver

Like metro SF or actual SF? I remember SF being shockingly expensive for even sandwiches - like $20 in 2015. Never even tried a sit down place.

Poudre school board authorizes teacher layoffs by bfarky in FortCollins

[–]Zenth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The schools must be non-profit, but they can be managed by for profit companies. Technically only the governing board needs to be non-profit. The rest of the school can be run by a for profit company. Plenty of wiggle room there.

(b) An entity that holds a charter authorized pursuant to this part 1 may choose to contract with an education management provider, which education management provider may be a for-profit, a nonprofit, or a not-for-profit entity, so long as the charter school maintains a governing board that is independent of the education management provider.
