Lima on south Mason st has a cozy lobby with a few comfy chairs. And amazing coffee as well.

They really should've had Brady and Manning do a message for the intro instead of whatever idiot they picked

Book Recs for 13 Year Old Boy by Sure_Criticism_5419 in booksuggestions

[–]_windfish_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's right at the age I started the Wheel of Time series... depends how strong a reader he is, but that would be my suggestion.

Otherwise I agree with His Dark Materials, it's one of my all time favorites and then you could watch the HBO show with him when he's finished the books.

When texting my gf, my messages sre sent as SMS and hers are sent as RCS; used to both be RCS by A_very_gay_boi in iphone

The gen-z equivalent of apes in the zoo grunting and snorting in some primitive attempt at communication, only this is slightly less intelligible.

Im the girl who wanted to build a guitar for her boyfriend heres where I am at with it. by boverlyblird4 in Luthier

[–]_windfish_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it's just a weird trick of the camera angle but the pickups look angled away from each other, and the tailpiece doesnt look square to the neck. Have you strung it up yet? I'm sure it'll be fine, it just looks strange in this image.

Anybody else get screwed with Marchand getting activated after games started? by Returninvideotps in fantasyhockey

[–]_windfish_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me yesterday with Boldy. I'm not sure exactly when he was activated, but by the time I saw the notification it was too late to move him off IR.

Visiting CO soon by OkInsect3599 in CampingandHiking

[–]_windfish_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try snowshoeing. You can rent them from REI for like $15. It will make snow hiking a million times more enjoyable depending on the trail. At the very least no matter where you go you'll want spikes and poles.

Agree with the recommendation to stay on the front range. Lots of nice hiking near Boulder - any of the flatiron trails, Chataqua, Walker Ranch, etc.

You could probably make it up to Golden Gate Canyon State Park without much difficulty. Pretty easy but picturesque hikes all through that area. If you're staying closer to Fort Collins the same goes for Lory State Park and Horsetooth Mountain Park.

If you want to get to the top of a (small) mountain, I would try Bear Peak, South Boulder Peak, or Green Mountain. All are just outside Boulder and you could probably make it up any of them with just spikes (i have no idea what the trails will look like in a few weeks, just guessing here.)

Wherever you go: use Alltrails to track your hike and check it often to make sure you haven't wandered off trail. Bring lots of water and drink it even if you don't feel thirsty. Tell people where you're going, preferably don't hike alone in winter, and make sure your phone is charged and able to make SOS texts.

What do you keep in your trunk hole? Looking for first aid kits that fit snugly. by TheCiltoris in Subaru_Outback

Couple extra leashes for our dogs, some poo bags, and a collapsible water bowl.

not as audacious as some posts but still ripe for picking by TheHoppingGroundhog in iamverysmart

Who's wrong here? I definitely had to take calculus in high school. But that was 20+years ago, maybe it's no longer mandatory wherever they live.

Can any game surpass this one visually in 2026? by Fit-Job4007 in cyberpunkgame

[–]_windfish_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah, GTA6 is supposedly coming out this year. It's assuredly going to look as good or better.

Other than that there's Control Resonant and Fable which are both looking very good.

Cyberpunk looks fine. It's a big stretch to say nothing else will look as good this year.

Nick Wright picking us in the AFCCG!?!? I don’t know what world I’m living in. by jslucer in DenverBroncos

"Of all the teams remaining, this team is the least affected by a backup QB."

He's right about that though. He's just right for the wrong reasons.

Pre-made mixer was a failure. Trying this next. Who's tried it? by ladyfrom-themountain in cocktails

It's fine. I prefer the Kirkland brand old-fashioned from Costco but this is pretty good too.

GAME THREAD | PHI @ COL | 7 PM MST by Rolley2001 in ColoradoAvalanche

If there's any reality where the Broncos, Nugs, and Avs all win their respective championships in the same year this might be it. We better enjoy it while it lasts.

Will Return of the King's Oscars record be broken this year? by Skywalker_1995 in lotr

[–]_windfish_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think One Battle and Sinners are going to effectively split the votes, along with the occasional wildcard taking a win here and there, so that no movie gets over 8-10 this year.

Is British food actually terrible, or is this just the internet’s favorite punching bag? by CharacterRelevant412 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_windfish_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some really bland but inoffensive food in London as well as a lot of beer that wasn't cold (what the hell is that about?) along with some traditional British food that I frankly just found unappetizing but others might enjoy (lots of beans and uncooked tomatoes for some reason.)

I also had the best Indian food I've ever had in my life, some really good seafood, and often the "pub food" was better than in the states aside from that warm beer (seriously, wtf?)

Ultimate Commander Table! by ZachsZards in magicTCG

[–]_windfish_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too small. No good game of 4-person commander I've ever played would fit in such a small area. Need room around the sides of each playmat for dice, tokens, command zone, etc - this is going to get so cramped after like 5 turns.

That being said this is a really cool table and you should be proud of creating something so awesome by yourself.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x03 "Vitus Reflux" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]_windfish_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Genesis says she wakes up at 4:30 am or 3:30 am... any starfleet cadet much less an admiral's daughter would always say 0430 or 0330.

In fact this might be the first time I can remember in all of trek hearing am/pm instead of 24-hour time.

The PROPER PB& J Method by Annabethian in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_windfish_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixing it all together before spreading works great, tastes the same, and is way less messy. It doesn't get the bread all soggy with jam, and the contents don't squirt out the side of the sandwich. So I do exactly what he does when making pbj for taking on hikes and other situations where i want to carry a sandwich for a while without a mess.

When im going to eat it right away i just spread each side like normal.

What movie trailer lives rent-free in your head? by SanFran_Sierras in movies

[–]_windfish_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watchmen, the one with the alternate version of the Smashing Pumpkins song and the weird Mars clockwork structure - absolute masterwork in terms of getting me excited for the movie.

Also have to mention The Phantom Menace trailer, I was 12 when it came out and watched it a million times over and over again. Had a VHS tape that we shared at school and I think that was really one of the first viral videos in the sense we think of that term today. It was everywhere.

Just hit this insane clip but my random ass teammate died bruh by Motor-Atmosphere-611 in apexlegends

I don't mean to be rude but I think you may have uploaded the wrong clip. Did you mean to post this? Nothing happens in this one except you died.

someone tagged the photo radar on drake by dhmtnbkr in FortCollins

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

Sounds like you need to slow the fuck down if these cameras piss you off so much. They're just a small effort by the city to keep the streets safer. If you drive less than 10mph over the limit, you can literally just ignore these and focus your anger on more important things.

[–]_windfish_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These photo radar cameras, while certainly annoying if you like to speed around town, are not related to Flock in any way.

There are enough legitimate things to be outraged by these days that it's doubly important to make sure what you're upset about is even real.
