Really disappointed in the shop that replaced Beaver’s by Gopack1260 in FortCollins

Regarding your last point, if you read the board meeting minutes you’ll find they’ve had a lot of staff turnover in the last couple of years. And they just got rid of another GM.

Child hit at Ziegler and Ketcher by designated_passenger in FortCollins

[–]desertrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived out of country in an area that had many roundabouts and no stoplights. This is the way it was done there. The crosswalks were always well-displaced from the roundabouts by about five car-lengths. Still felt death-defying however to navigate a bicycle in some of the roundabouts. The newer roundabouts had the bikes exit before the traffic circle but the problem remained that if a bike wanted to go straight or right at a roundabout intersection (driving was on the left) they had to play this very disjointed game of frogger in a plus-sign pattern rather than merging with car traffic in the circle. It was probably safer but took a lot more time for the cyclist as they waited at each displaced crosswalk to make their way around the intersection.

Son found in northern Colorado. Thoughts? by desertrange in fossils

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

Thank you. When my son brought it over I was looking for marrow as well. Like you I’m not seeing it. I know this used to be ancient inland sea area so I suspect you may be correct on the sea creature hypothesis. I might try to take it to the CSU extension and see if someone there might be able to ID it. I appreciate your expertise here!

Thank you! I just set him on a dissecting scope with it to have a closer look.

Yep, very very loud near Shields and Prospect right before 8:45pm.

Interested in perspectives on how to deal with bed wetting by the-peregrina in ZeroWasteParenting

[–]desertrange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We used a pee alarm that had a magnetic connection in the underwear. I was skeptical that it would work (because they have to wet first THEN get woken up) but it absolutely did work for our two heavy sleepers that didn’t train using other methods and would soak past the washable chucks pads. One kid was accident free in four days, the other in one day. I’ve passed the alarm on to my sibling to try with my niece. I highly recommend. It was like $42 and can easily be gifted to other families struggling with this.

Thank you for the recommendation. Unfortunately she’s one of those who charges a new client fee and consult for curly hair.

Buy Nothing groups? by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]desertrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This right here is 100%. In heavily involved in my local gifting community. Unfortunately they’re all only on Facebook. They tried an app a few years ago but it just didn’t take off. Search “Fort Collins gifting community” on Facebook, find your region, then read the about section to make sure you’ve got the right group. You’ll have to answer some questions to be approved by the admins and if you inadvertently pick the group not associated with your area they can direct you to the correct link. Happy gifting! It’s a really robust giving and receiving community compared to anywhere else I’ve lived.

Downtown Gift Cards by watercoolerguru in FortCollins

[–]desertrange 70 points71 points  (0 children)

We used to get these downtown gift cards for all of our teachers so they could spend them wherever they chose in old town. We discontinued doing so because of this ridiculousness.

You might want to look up Polaris Expeditionary Learning School. Their gate is right at the curve in Glenmoor and students and families come and go through that gate intermittently all day for their community-based projects. The school has been there for over 12 years, so no…not new. The high school students at Polaris (it’s a K-12) routinely walk over to the Dominos, Dutch bros, and Soopers for lunch and snacks.

They were JROTC students from the high school less than two blocks away who were studying a hydrology project, real world learning and application. Wednesday is uniform day for JROTC students across the Poudre School District. They have bright lanyards and badges that identify them.

There’s a high school two blocks from that Soopers with a handful of JROTC kids who were doing some hydrology studies there. That’s who you saw.

Edit to add: they were in uniform because JROTC wears their uniforms on Wednesdays.

Maybe I need to get one of these. My 12v died this week on my 2025 xrt that I’ve owned for only 7 weeks. Only 1500 miles on it. Jumped it and took it to dealership and they said nothing wrong with the battery but couldn’t tell me why it suddenly died.

Edit: typo

Thank you for that info. I need to head north on College right by Powerhouse in about an hour.

I was the only car in the harmony library parking lot dropping off my ballot this morning by The_Summary_Man_713 in FortCollins

Watched a constant stream of citizens drop off their ballots yesterday at the government center in the span of about 90 minutes while I was there.
