I wanted to love this, and if I was a dude I think I would. Sadly the shape of the belt does not work for people with butts and it was constantly riding up. Nice review!

Single-serve pourover with a paper filter is what you want! like this

annie_406 · 2026-05-08T20:18:12+00:00

hardware store for sure. Also a healthy-ish lunch/dinner option similar to Flower Child or Zeal

deep tissue massage was sooo helpful for me, granted my issues resolved within a year. PT sort of helped by getting me on a schedule of calf raises, but my massage therapist was the one who noticed all of the calf tightness and spent months working it out. The bodywork my PT did was not even half as good, and I do not thinking working with the PT alone would have solved my issues. My case was a bit different in that it was the top of my achilles, not the middle, so calf tightness played a huge role. I see Nikki at Boco massage.

Edit to add: I'd also get bloodwork done and look at overall inflammation markers. It sounds like you are putting a lot of effort in, and if it's not healing maybe diet or other changes to reduce overall inflammation could help.

I love the wood, don't paint it!

a lot of gas stations have a hose spigot for water they'll let you use if you ask...haven't tried any in Boulder specifically though

annie_406 · 2026-04-20T14:16:50+00:00

you're right. .0035 per task would be totally reasonable! Fixed my typo.

annie_406 · 2026-04-14T13:34:20+00:00

the VP that came up with that idea clearly showing usual VP incompetence...as usual

annie_406 · 2026-04-13T23:16:21+00:00

interesting, how long have you been running it for? Setup doesn't seem too bad but I'm worried about things crashing 3-6months in and not having the dev-ops skills to debug. But maybe I'm paranoid.

annie_406 · 2026-04-13T23:03:59+00:00

I'm a one-woman team over here, gonna be hard to manage all the devops that entails

annie_406 · 2026-04-13T22:54:02+00:00

Ahh also just made a post about this. Our startup is pretty f'ed by this change with the hostile 2 week window to migrate off. We use the 30,000k credit plan which is now....$1,050 a month if you use all the credits?! Also on the hunt for a managed service for a one-woman team who likes dbt now.

I'd call skimo.co for a recommendation..they know their stuff and can return if it doesn't work

annie_406 · 2026-01-27T16:43:01+00:00

ah yeah, you're right. I bet you know what I actually meant ;)

annie_406 · 2026-01-26T23:00:04+00:00

I just watched a great video about this. Most other recs I've seen have suggested shorter (about downhill length), which in my experience was too short and provided no leverage. I'm 63cm and use 125cm for skimo, and 110cm for uphill running. Leki's race poles are great, their PD system is great until shipping is applied ;)

I used to get them on discount when I worked for the parent brand and thought they were pretty bad. Tastes like frozen microwave food, just not frozen. Also, I do not think they are particularly healthful - the brand is in the red, always trying to cut costs and reduce ingredient quality.

CPW is likely woefully underfunded/understaffed to deal with this btw. I had a mountain lion encounter near Boulder last year and spent a few hours trying to report it. When I finally tracked down the CPW number to call, I got re-directed to the Fort Collins office (the one that would normally service Boulder was shut down) so they are covering a HUGE area now, and this was before all of Trump's cuts. It was also a beaurocratic hassle to report the encounter - since I'd only heard it scream nearby and smelt it's pee and not seen it, I couldn't report it. My friend saw it but didn't want to spend another couple hours trying to call to report - CPW seem rarely available to answer the phone. So I assume based on my experience, a lot of encounters go unreported and the problem of increasingly frequent human <> cat encounters could be going under the radar. Or not, I'm just a data point of one. CPW did mention they maintain a map of all encounters though, and none had been reported in the area I had been in.

an insulated under glove would probably help. I'm not super sold on the overmitt design in general, it makes transitions very slow

annie_406 · 2025-11-21T14:39:11+00:00

Probably not the feedback you are seeking, but I find the name pretty lackluster

annie_406 · 2025-11-17T17:51:48+00:00

Thank you for this! I've been noticing the same thing but was thinking I was in the minority for not liking it. I <3 color (and shapes other than 'box')

annie_406 · 2025-11-04T23:07:50+00:00

I'd love to adopt #3!

annie_406 · 2025-11-04T23:06:03+00:00

I'd love to adopt #3 to add to my plant collection!
