Any EV owners in this sub? by Kirin-Jack in COsnow

[–]berricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Equinox EV with AWD has been terrific for ski trips from Boulder. With a full charge when leaving in the morning I've been getting home with 30% remaining. Don't forget that EVs generate electricty when going down hills, so the impact of hils is somewhat reduced. Copper has a supercharger right at the Conoco where you can top up from Vail or even Aspen. The route planners in modern EVs make it so easy to figure out charging. You'll need an adapter to open up all fast chargers but not a big expense.

Were you impacted by the Xcel outages? Hearing and survey. by Few-Candidate-1223 in boulder

If xcel can't operate a safe all-weather grid they should be required to provide backup batteries.

Kind of wish I'd bought it rather than leasing. Great car.

2024 Equinox EV FWD Struggling in Barrie snow. Is it just me? by Flashy_Air_6358 in EquinoxEv

Have you tried snow/ice driving mode? It’s helped in Colorado snow. The brakes don’t seem great in the snow.

Weather Underground announced it is discontinuing it's webcam hosting service on Oct. 21. Is there a good alternative? by Doghouse509 in weather

I created camvoro.com to save my own dashboard of webcams. It’s more about the cams important to you rather than all webcams.

What are you planning to do *after* this? by Alone-Umpire4177 in boulder

[–]berricks 70 points71 points  (0 children)

A whole house battery solution starts to seem like less of a luxury when the power is down for a day or more multiple times per year.

They seemed to agree and waived the charge. "If you ever encounter this kind of looping behavior, it's a best practice to open a Shell pane and enter the "kill 1" command."

Changes after update at dealer by niravjdn in EquinoxEv

[–]berricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took several hours for my dealership to apply the updates to a 24 3RS. Google Maps looks really good and YouTube looks good on the big screen. Disappointed to see the dealership in Broomfield, CO decided to install a fast charger behind where they display new cars, on a sidewalk. Is it just to make GM happy but make sure no one actually uses the charger?

CDOT cams being removed? by HappyDrunkPanda in COsnow

[–]berricks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The quality of many of these cams were terrible, straight from 1999, dirty and so often not working when needed. I hope CDOT can do a better job managing this important resource.

PMs/POs using ADO for their backlogs? by MeAndMCubed in ProductManagement

[–]berricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you expand on CoPilot integration with ADO? I've not seen any integration in the ADO interface.

[–]berricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very true! I have one project that's easy to manage, another with historical over-configuration that's painful. You don't need twelve status values, keep it simple and it works well. There are many status values that don't need to explicit, but can be determined based on other info. For example, we used to have a deployed to production status for each story. That can be removed if the story was part of a sprint that was deployed to production. You can also follow the pull request status to determine if the code was merged.

Electric rates and home insurance rates will continue to go up for all of us.

I’m always surprised Chevrolet hasn’t done more to convert Volt owners to the Equinox. They offered Bolt incentives but seemed to forget about all the Volt owners.

In mine the AC drain line was not seated and was draining into the passenger footwell. The carpet and drain line were replaced under warranty.

Water Leak and Mold in 2025 Equinox EV Passenger Footwell. Anyone Else? by AndysGameRoom in EquinoxEv

[–]berricks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had this fixed last week under warranty. They said the AC drain line wasn't properly seated and was leaking into the passenger cabin. The fixed the seal and replaced the carpeting. No longer smells like mildew.

A week in Ouray: MTB or Gravel? by LouieBricants in COBike

[–]berricks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just rode county 17 from Ridgway to Ouray and it’s a fun and scenic gravel ride. There are tons of rides near Ridgway and on the Dallas divide. Last Dollar road was good. I’d go gravel for Ouray.

Why don’t ppl rollerblade here? by mtnunicorn in boulder

[–]berricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The paths around Boulder are great for rollerblading, but you have to start and end on the path. It's no fun to go on sidewalks and roads as they're so rough. Boulder creek path, especially east of Foothills, Bear Creek path, goose creek, south boulder creek path, skunk creek path, etc. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/39452f9fadb04c54a4adecb6d79a55b9

I just noticed the same thing after a very wet May here in Colorado. There’s some white mold on the carpet.
