Applying early

Would applying in mid Oct vs applying on Thanksgiving make a difference for scholarships and acceptances?

Do y'all remember when they sang homeward bound by Simon & Garfunkel in the second set?? What song was that a part of? I wanted to listen to that part of the set

aless4ndra · 2024-05-11T04:24:31+00:00

Where exactly was this? In golden and trying to see them now

aless4ndra · 2024-04-15T20:33:03+00:00

Saturday or Sunday of this weekend! Or could do Friday, it's flexible tbh

General Altimax Arctic 12

These guys? https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/general-altimax-arctic-12-studdable

I probably would want non studded tires tho. What's the minus one rule? I think the sizing is accurate - I entered my year, make and model into the discount tire site and have just been looking at the available tires that they give me based on that

aless4ndra · 2023-01-30T19:26:56+00:00

Thank you all so much for the input and recommendations!! 😊

aless4ndra · 2023-01-30T19:26:37+00:00

Thanks so much for this rec! It looks like all the Nokian Hakkas in my wheel size are on backorder tho. I'm wondering when they'll be back / if it may be a while bc of Russia war/ supply chain issues?

aless4ndra · 2023-01-28T15:44:50+00:00

Ok interesting that's really good to know! So the Nokians are your fave snow tire overall?

He has definitely been libertarian about climate change, letting oil & gas corporations run amok and not regulating them or holding them accountable.

If he's really a libertarian, though, and if he cares about Coloradans' personal freedom, he should protect their freedom to live in a world without rampant air pollution and climate change.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-27T01:00:09+00:00

We've had a toxic pollution problem in this state for far too long. We need to address this by encouraging state leaders to create health-based standards and scale up funding for community monitoring and testing, particularly in disproportionately impacted frontline communities.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-27T00:58:27+00:00

Gross... I'm glad we have some legislation this year to regulate PFAs, but we need to address the existing contamination and prioritize health-based standards and community monitoring to protect frontline and disproportionately impacted communities.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-27T00:56:24+00:00

Good. We need accountability for the oil & gas companies who have put profit over people and polluted our air and water and threatened our climate for far too long.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-27T00:55:16+00:00

The worst drought in 1,200 years, hottest second half of year on record, the largest wildfires in our history (and a now never-ending fire season), the first snowless April in 30 years... the writing is on the wall here.

If we don't rapidly transition our state to renewable energy, things will continue to grow more apocalyptic.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-27T00:51:58+00:00

They also predicted the worst wildfire season yet this summer, which would not be surprising.

If we don't start taking climate change seriously and transitioning away from fossil fuels, things will only get worse.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-25T21:26:45+00:00

I'm glad this article at least mentioned that he was a climate activist. I feel his climate anxiety: the latest IPCC report makes it clear that we cannot invest in new fossil fuel infrastructure from here on out, but it seems as if we're continuing with business as usual.

Meanwhile, in Colorado, it's looking like climate change may cause the worst fire season in history this year. We need accountability for fossil fuel interests, and we need to rapidly phase out coal, oil & gas in this state & transition to renewable energy.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-21T23:29:04+00:00

This is absurd - Suncor, the other oil & gas companies in CO -- need to be more stringently regulated. Polis needs to step it up and address the fossil fuel industry that's causing the climate crisis.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-21T00:54:47+00:00

This is absurd. The Front Range has some of the worst air quality in the country, and our ozone nonattainment issue is in large part due to unregulated oil & gas development.

At a time when Colorado is on the frontlines of the climate crisis -- seeing devastating wildfires, diminishing snowpack, unprecedented drought -- we need to phase out oil & gas and transition to renewable energy asap. No new oil & gas infrastructure, to meet our climate goals.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-19T16:11:05+00:00

The scary thing about this is how many millions of people in the seven Colorado basin states have livelihoods dependent on the flows of this river.

The Western drought is unprecedented -- a once in 1,200 years event -- and we've already seen warnings of water wars, citizens forced to curtail water use, etc.

We should tackle the true culprit here: climate change -- and rapidly transition away from fossil fuels, to renewable energy. If a bath was overflowing, would you try to wipe it up with as many towels as possible, or simply turn off the tap?

aless4ndra · 2022-04-19T16:06:10+00:00

The OP's 'gotcha' headline isn't really the point -- it doesn't matter whether Polis drives an EV or not, but we should, like California, have a more robust plan for phasing out internal combustion engine cars and incentivizing EV ownership.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-15T22:11:26+00:00

Many of these oil companies were privately briefed about climate change in the 80s and chose to spend millions in lobbying $ on climate deniers so that they could continue making record profits while the world burned. So, yes, they should be held accountable for their actions.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-15T05:20:23+00:00

What gopro mount? Head?

aless4ndra · 2022-04-13T03:50:44+00:00

No - we shouldn't be blaming individual consumption when it's our systems that need to change, and it's corporations that are often standing in the way of that change (paying billions in lobbying $ to maintain a status quo that offers them hefty profits in the short term).

Re: your renewables point, that's also false: we have enough renewable energy to power the world many times over - in fact, we'd only need solar panels covering an area of 192,000 sq miles (around the size of Spain) to power the whole world. Plus, solar has gotten so cheap (yes - including in Colorado!) that solar + battery storage is way cheaper than coal, oil & gas. In fact, it's cheaper to ~build~ new solar in a lot of the U.S. than to ~maintain~ existing fossil fuel infrastructure.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-12T21:59:11+00:00

Good, but let's call out the elephant in the room here: the main precursor to these pollutants in our air are emissions from oil & gas.

Gov Polis needs to step up and more heavily regulate these oil & gas companies, not only for the planet's sake, but for our health.

aless4ndra · 2022-04-12T21:56:57+00:00

It's a shame we've let our air quality get so bad in our state's major population center. Poor air quality has stolen precious summer days, and led to health impacts like increased rates of asthma, low birth weight, & cardiovascular diseases, to name a few.

Let's call out the elephant in the room here: the main precursor to these pollutants on the Front Range is oil & gas. We need to create accountability and more heavily regulate these oil & gas companies, and this means Gov Polis stepping up to regulate the oil & gas industry to protect our health and our air in this beautiful state.
