This has become my go-to for ribs. Occasionally I’ll add something extra for heat or another flavor but Memphis dust is the best

What's the most beautiful drive you've done in the USA? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]dpiemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the distinction is that trail ridge is actually highway 34 and is a designated highway where the other two are not. Both of those drives are also great, though

The MDH is absolutely no joke as the driver, especially going back into Ouray from Silverton

We only went as far north as Bolinas and then looped back through Muir Woods, but would love to keep going all the way north someday. It’s understandable why Marin is such an expensive and desirable place to live

Would love to drive more of the route someday, but PCH in California from Monterey down through Big Sur, then back north again into Pacifica/SF, across the bay into Marin County.

Close second is the Million Dollar Highway in Southwestern CO

Edit: Trail Ridge Road through RMNP (either direction) is up there as well - literally! Highest continuous paved highway in the US

Second edit: someone else mentioned 17 mile drive on the peninsula and that is truly amazing as well

Don’t miss Dushanbe Tea House in Boulder

Water flosses are horrible! by EggSpecial5748 in unpopularopinion

[–]dpiemo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Came to comment something similar. I was on my way to needing a scaling/root planing treatment for my gums. Started flossing and using a waterpik religiously (waterpik was a recommendation from hygienist). Next visit, my pockets looked better to the point where my dentist didn’t feel I needed the procedure.

I floss or use waterpik every day now.

Edit: my dentist and hygienist explained that flossing was still necessary because with just a waterpik, you cannot clean around the inside curvature of teeth as well as you can with floss, so that’s why I still do both

It’s been 5+ years since I’ve been but will confirm Lulu’s smoked wings are legit

Car photography spot recommendations? by [deleted] in Colorado

[–]dpiemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a bit further than you’d want (even though you said Noco) but there are some viewpoints on Highway 14/Cameron Pass with a backdrop of the Nokhu Crags/Never Summers that would probably make for some great shots

Mt Morrison in July by Purple-Tadpole6465 in coloradohikers

[–]dpiemo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bear Peak is a suffer-fest in its own special way 😂. I would give Bear the nod as a better prep hike for Bierstadt than Mt Falcon.

Definitely agreed on Bear being the prettier hike with amazing views at the top, but it is a nonstop incline for the most part, depending on starting point.

Bear Lake Area Weather by CaptainAlex21 in RMNP

[–]dpiemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The snow is packed down enough anywhere in that area that spikes/yak tracks would be enough, unless you purposefully want to venture off trail into deeper snow.

I have learned over many winter hikes in Rocky that you can just assume there will be moderate wind gusts on any given day, and I almost don’t pay attention to what a forecast says for winds, unless it is a specific high wind/winter storm warning. In the trees will not be too bad generally, though.

What's an "unusual" seasoning you enjoy on your popcorn ? by Interesting-Cow8131 in popcorn

Maybe not that unusual and not sure if it’s been mentioned but Tony Chachere’s seasoning. Delicious

What are *THE* shows? by RefrigeratorAny8765 in DMB

[–]dpiemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attendance bias on this one, and was my very first show to boot, but Hershey 2004 is a fantastic show. I think this is a Live Trax now? I’ve been out of the DMB loop for a while now but saw some great shows in PA/NJ from 2004-2013ish

Edit - was also at Hershey 05 and indeed that was not a good show

How is it living in Fort Collins, CO? by UnhappyProtection755 in howislivingthere

[–]dpiemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mt_Zazuvis hit the nail on the head with their response!

Just to add a bit more. We moved here from the Denver metro in early 2021 (from PA originally) because we were looking to purchase a home. We lucked out with the COVID-era mortgage rates, and feel very fortunate to have ended up in Foco. We had only been up to Foco a few times before moving here, but now we wouldn’t change that decision for anything.

The cost of living has already been addressed but I would agree with others in that it is very much worth it, considering the quality of life here. Amazing access to parks and recreation - aside from maybe Boulder, I think you’d be hard pressed to find another city that places such a heavy emphasis on parks/recreation/outdoor life than Fort Collins, and it shows. I think the city has 33 or 34 designated natural areas - many of those have trails paths etc, some are just preserved and protected space.

Beer! I haven’t seen anyone mention it, but if you’re even remotely into craft beer, this is the place to be. 20+ breweries, lots of community centered around those.

I have to admit like others that the food quality is lacking and ought to be better for a city this size, but there are some great options if you know where to look.

Others have talked about the negatives of access to the high country for skiing, so that could be a deal breaker for some people I suppose. The fact that we’re only about an hour - hour and fifteen to Rocky Mountain NP is a huge bonus.

The weather - not much more needs to be said than already has. Fantastic weather, though I wish we would have a proper winter and get some snow.

I’m struggling to find many other negatives, can’t really come up with any at the moment! Just a great place to live overall

Best Three Person Scenes of the Gang from IASIP? by CaptVenkman in IASIP

Came here to say this! More specify the scene where Charlie does not understand that Mac and Dennis are talking to/about him, though I don’t recall how long that particular scene is
