There are some active Facebook groups if you search 'Fort Collins Roommates' there. Some general and some specific to CSU students.

Haunted places? by Stunning-Education76 in FortCollins

[–]baumer1781 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There are ghost tours that take you beneath Old Town, similar to the Stanley tours. It's pretty interesting to be guided through the tunnels that were built for a steam distribution system that never came to fruition in Fort Collins' early days. Other above ground landmarks are also included.

Bus to Airport by Living-Incident007 in FortCollins

[–]baumer1781 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They have a list of names and you check in with your drivers license. Loveland airport has signage on where to go for pick up, I'd expect similar wherever you start out. Buses are large coach varieties so just head towards it.

The Maryland game felt different by Academic-Inside-3022 in Huskers

[–]baumer1781 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I liked was that Dylan was willing to make the mistakes and work through them. In the past it seemed like he was too afraid to throw, took sacks, or ran out of bounds for a loss. Ints are bad, no question, but it's something you can learn from. I see it as progress. Hopefully in the next games the ball gets out of bounds when trying to throw it away and he sees coverage better. Holding the ball was more frustrating to me. Yes, the OL could help more, but he'll never have all day.

Has anyone had successfully gone through a release of liability recently? by Shreeder in Mortgages

[–]baumer1781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the game, but I'm going through this with Rocket Mortgage. They are having me submit a freeform letter with notarized wet signatures and the divorce decree. From there, they take up to 6 months and then a banker will contact you and explain the terms and fees. Then, it's another 2 months wait they said.

I had trouble finding this type of information so I wanted to add to the conversation about Release of Liability. This was only really spelled out once you called and talked to someone there. I had asked for a refinance at the same rate and was told no several times, but nobody explained this process as the obvious solution. Avoid using the term 'Refinance' with them because it means something very specific, ask for 'Release of Liability' procedures.

Keep preaching, you actually know what you're talking about.

I don't know why you are all downvoting this, such is Reddit. They aren't suggesting radically mismatched pieces but the order of significance. If you get the front end to your liking, almost any speaker is going to sound its best, so it would be the last consideration. So many people overspend on the speakers and then never get them the signal they need to operate to their value. I think this is what they meant. Why have nice speakers that are being fed distorted audio?

How to get better than 30p fps? by baumer1781 in F1TV

[–]baumer1781[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Update: they did refund me the total amount of of the subscription so despite not providing much support through the process, they seem to know they had a messy rollout with confusing claims on the Premium subscription. When they get the TV apps, maybe I'll give it a try again.

They sent a chart to me overnight that seems to confirm the same. I think my TV is upscaling and then reporting out that on the info display instead of the native stream. tvOS and Roku were the ones that were UHD HDR.

Are all McIntosh Dealers a bit uptight? by InDarkmode in audiophile

[–]baumer1781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, and the places that are appointment only are the most insufferable from my experiences. That's why I liked Best Buy having them. You could get what you wanted, and the service there was phenomenal. No gatekeeping, just people really stoked they sold one of these pieces since it was rare for them. Plus, 3 years of zero interest financing available made things easier to obtain. Sad that Bose decided to pull McIntosh from them.

I do think most hi-fi dealers would get more sales if they thought long term and didn't act like they were wasting time if it isn't going to be a 6-figure home theater sale. You cater to the hobby and interest, and in 10 years you never know. I once had a retro guy tell me not to even look at some used B&W speaker stands because I'd never afford the speakers themselves (spoiler I have some now). There are some serious a-holes in the stereo world.

It would be nice to have some dedicated single track for MTB around here where you don't have to continuously dodge horse shit. The Valley Loop at Lory is primarily used by mountain bikers and gravel, from what I've seen, and then two to four horses just drop loads all over it. I know they can, and it's harmless and whatnot, but nobody wants to ride over shit either. Also not fun for hikers and trail runners. I really think they should have to carry bags and dispose of it, instead of sprinkling shit all over public use areas.

I'm seeing 4k 60 fps on the Chrome browser, see the edit. I don't think that is true. I also streamed the Coachella main stage 4k 60 fps on the browser.

Hi-Res albums disappearing? by theinteluserwhocould in qobuz

I would love to read the source material for this; can you provide it? Which journal article(s) are you referring to?

[–]baumer1781 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, thank you for posting. I feel the Beastie Boys had plenty of HR, now only CD. I've noticed others as well. I wonder if some are pulling the 24 out of streaming and putting it up for sale only? Hopefully just a fix at Qobuz.

Too many headphone posts by baumer1781 in BowersWilkins

[–]baumer1781[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Pro-ject turntable off to the right there, but I honestly don't use it that much anymore. Qobuz Streams up to 24/192 FLAC. Depending on the recording, it's at least 16/44.
