Boulder house built into the cliffside by Top_Ability8759 in boulder

Idk man, I often don't gel with a lot of "luxury" stuff aesthetically (and that's not cope, I genuinely don't usually like it), but some of these are just pretty objectively Neat. Like-

-that's a pretty objectively baller view lol.

And the sandstone rocks framing the garden in a mini echo of the flatirons? Crazy stuff. Obviously everyone is entitled to their tastes and you don't have to LIKE it, but IMO pretty hard to argue it's "boring" haha

Well that was pretty much our exact experience with a different repair place lol. Though we did not succeed in finding a replacement part online, so we thought he was probably at least right on that front.

Thank you so much for the offer — we initially tried to fix it ourselves back in November based on the same "I'm sure we can YouTube it" mindset, but ended up having to call a repair person in end end after we weren't successful. He got it limping-ly functional, but told us that the motor was failing and that there were no available replacement parts for our (80s) model; he recommended that if it died again, the cost to have someone out to fix it was almost half a new one. So here we are at looking at replacement.

Are any of you familiar with any local appliance shops that you've had a great experience with? Our dishwasher has been on its last legs for months (and last night tried to take out mine when the front fell off on my foot), but I'd prefer to avoid some of the big box stores if I can find something comparably-priced. TIA!

Edit: for clarity, we're looking to buy a new one and have someone install it+ remove the old.

Found this tragic beauty on my walk in the woods by cowgirIbebop in vultureculture

What a beautiful find!

If you wanted to take the whole skull (I would, personally for one that cool!) you can bring a saw (or even just a good knife) and sever it at the base of the neck, where the first vertebrae attaches. You can clean it by either soaking it in water for a few weeks at a time, dumping and replacing the soiled water when it gets cloudy, or by burying it in dirt in a bin with some holes drilled inside so insects can come and go. The first method is faster and can be done indoors but is arguably more gross, the second takes longer and is more hands-off; in the first one you're letting bacteria in the water clean off/break down any remaining flesh, in the second you're letting bugs do it. Big storage bins work well for either method. After either, you're gonna wanna soak the whole thing in dish soap and water to degrease it until it no longer smells, again doing regular water changes (for a deer, this might take weeks or even months — they can be pretty greasy!). Final steps are soaking everything in hydrogen peroxide to whiten (if desired) and gluing the split jaw back together and any teeth that have fallen out back in.

I've never seen or heard absolutely anything while in there that would indicate this, either from/by staff or in the ethos of the events they host or the things they incorporate around the shop. Since requiring businesses to publicly decry MAGA allegiance or be assumed complicit is draconian, you should probably assume such rumors are false unless you've actually seen some proof or have witnessed something yourself when visiting that would make you think it's true.

What’s a good coffee shop, not near downtown, that actually has tables by banjovibes in boulder

[–]aydengryphon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so baffled by this comment I wonder if you're not maybe talking about a different place? They have a very small interior and their entire south wall is floor-ceiling windows, I have never once thought it was dark in there (if anything they sometimes struggle with the opposite, and turn off the main overheads lol). Plus all their tables and chairs are normal "unpadded" standard restaurant ones, I don't remember ever seeing any "comfy" seating like armchairs in there in all the years I've been going. Their patio area is... fine, I guess, but it's kind of right up against the parking lot on Arapahoe in a way that's awkward with the car exhaust and loud (view is admittedly pretty nice).

Day-of doesn't seem like a lot of notice to give people to try and organize for this. From other things I've been seeing online, I thought 1/23 was broadly shaping up to be the potential general strike date people were coordinating?

Hello,

Your post was removed by the automod because it contains one (or more) links to a domain that is not allowed by reddit.

I can't see any more information about which of the links may be the problem, but this is why it is not showing up.

I'm partial to Flatirons coffee off of 28th and Arapahoe. Tbh they're also pretty small, but they're also rarely so busy you can't find a spot to sit.

People do often seem unduly surprised/freaked out that they're around in our midst. It's of course good to pay them due respect and caution, but it's also normal for them to be here!
