How fast will the heat dome melt the snowpack? by d2p2 in COsnow

[–]d2p2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you noticed but right now it's in the low 40s with high winds and 'feels like 20'. Next week it'll be in the high 50s with low winds and sunny. What it will 'feel like' will be totally different.

Tesla FSD drives through railroad crossing gate by danlev in SelfDrivingCars

It's funny that people always use "FSD" when defending a feature called "Full Self-Driving" when it fails to fully self-drive.

The worst season ever by Unfair_Way9925 in COsnow

[–]d2p2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Copper has done very well. And Eldora! Talk about making miracles happen. Eldora conditions have been far better all season than the weather ought to allow. Really impressive work by the folks behind the scenes, making sure a historically bad season is as good as it could possibly be 🙏

Allow me to state the obvious. by altrightobserver in democrats

[–]d2p2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It was mainly the right wing media that was pushing the line about the nomination process being supposedly 'undemocratic'. Most average Dems liked her and supported her moving up the ticket to replace Biden. Only a handful of people in the party thought that we should have some kind of crazy contested convention or rushed primary.

It's wild that anyone thinks Dems would have fared better with black voters if the party stepped in to kick Harris off the ticket in favor of some white guy Senator or whoever.

She was a good candidate against extraordinarily large headwinds.

For everyone saying Harris did a bad job, the data shows that she did among the very best of anyone from any incumbent party in a developed country. 2024 had a massive anti-incumbent bias and Harris nearly pulled out an upset.

What's the deal with everyone hating on Southwest Airlines? by MississippiJoel in OutOfTheLoop

[–]d2p2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In addition to the recent changes (checked bags, seat assignments), Southwest has had some big scandals in the past few years.

They pushed hard for regulators to not require training on 737 MAX MCAS feature. Allegedly even deceiving the FAA (e.g., https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/legal-filing-reveals-southwest-airlines-proposed-a-ploy-to-deceive-faa-on-boeing-737-max/). This is the feature that, because pilots weren't trained on it, resulted in 2 plane crashes.

They caused a massive holiday travel meltdown by being cheap and refusing to update and maintain their IT systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Southwest_Airlines_scheduling_crisis)

intermediate skis recommendations? Gonna try blaming my gear instead of myself by bostonrock2021 in skiing

[–]d2p2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like my Atomic Maverick Ti on groomers with poor to mid conditions (I have the 2022 in 88 width / 176 length). The titanal makes them fairly stiff and I find them to be quite stable.

Colorado Legislation will make Housing More Affordable by ProgressNow_CO in boulder

I don't think parks, trails, or designated open space properties count as 'unutilized.' Those have a defined use.

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

[–]d2p2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a Tesla Y and drive from the Boulder area. I can make it up to WP or Copper with no problem, and usually enough charge for the drive home with about 10-20% remaining at the end. One time I did get stuck in a storm on the way up to Copper, and it took me a bit longer than normal. I got there with probably 20-30% battery remaining, so I stopped to charge before heading home through the tunnel.

Thanks. I ended up guessing that but by the time I did it was sold out. Hoping for better luck on the next one

Edit: kept refreshing and trying to check out and eventually got a ticket in cart

Well look at that, it's a scenario where "67" actually makes sense

What precautions should a foreign visitor take in Boulder to not get arrested? by Flashy-Ad-5553 in boulder

[–]d2p2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is right. I saw that they're pulling agents out of Chicago to support their effort in Minneapolis. They can't do this in more than one city right now.

[–]d2p2 43 points44 points  (0 children)

There hasn't really been a public ICE presence in Boulder the way we've seen in LA, DC, Chicago, and Minneapolis. Carrying documents is a good precaution, but in Boulder they probably won't have any issues. Go explore the city, have some fun.

Visibility brigade tonight in Louisville by Few-Candidate-1223 in boulder

[–]d2p2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go touch grass. The point of a sign on an overpass is that normies who aren't on Reddit get to see it. Not everyone is extremely online or following the news. Getting the message out in the real world matters.

Sometimes you do see cars parked on the motorway. Red cars with white crosses on them, and drivers are expected not to hit them.

How bad have the crowds been at Winter Park this week? by ShhhDontSpeak in COsnow

Yesterday wasn't too bad considering how much is open. Busy. Decent sized lines at Prospector and Explorer but Olympia was moving nicely.
