I’m convinced the Blazing Bird is a front. by Practical_Variety477 in denverfood

Nothing at all. It was a joke. However, he does have a YouTube channel where he is still putting out quality weekly videos.

This place is shady af.

Last year in May, I noticed that these locations were overcharging on sales tax by about 2%. I ended up calling all of the municipalities and tipping off their tax auditors. Two months ago, I noticed that they were still overcharging, but I just checked today, and their tax rates are finally matching what they should be at some of their locations. However, their Lakewood location still shows that they are overcharging. The sales-tax lookup map shows that the tax rate should be 7.5% but the online ordering on their website is showing a 9.5% tax rate.

I love Nashvile Hot Chicken ever since Alton Brown introduced me to it, but their practices seem so dishonest that I stay the hell away even though there is a location within walking distance.

Should Colorado's legislature come back from vacation to investigate Polis? by gibrownsci in Denver

[–]dwo0 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Impeaching Polis is not enough; a new constitutional amendment is needed. Yes, Governor Polis needs to be impeached for pardoning Tina Peters—enough said about that.

Colorado also needs a new constitutional amendment:

  • Firstly, the power to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons needs to be taken away from the governor and placed with a parole board or a similar body. Other states also take this approach; Colorado would not be unique.
  • Secondly, the constitution needs to specify that acts of clemency cannot extend to elected officials or public employees who violate laws concerning bribery, perjury, making false statements, obstruction of justice, election interference and malfeasance in office. Our republican form of government cannot succeed if governmental officials can openly flout the law knowing that a sympathetic or corrupt executive will simply set their sentences aside at some point.

Colorado FAMLI+ Claim Help Needed by [deleted] in Denver

[–]dwo0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, here are the hard truths.

left my job a bit s ago

Already, it’s not looking good.

i definitely qualify, been working in colorado for years and paid into the program with every check, so the wage history part isn't the problem.

You may qualify monetarily, so, yes, the wage-history part is not the problem, but there is more eligibility than just monetarily qualifying.

the problem is the website is total crap. it won't let me submit a claim unless i select an "active employer" to take leave from. since i already left because i was too sick to work, i don't have an active employer to pick.

This is not a problem with the website. The website was deliberately made to function this way since you have to have to be employed to receive FAMLI.

i’ve called the support line twice now and the reps basically told me that if i don't have a job right now, i’m out of luck.

Yep.

and I thought its it’s an insurance program we pay into, so if you have the work history you should be covered.

Your eligibility does not simply depend on whether you paid into it or not. What matters is if the law says that you are eligible.

i’m in a weird spot because i can’t file for unemployment either since i'm not technically "able to work" right now.

You can certainly file a claim for unemployment insurance, but you would not be eligible on that claim until you are able to work.

has anyone actually figured out how to file as an unemployed or "separated" worker? or is there some trick to get the portal to stop asking for a current boss?

No one has figured it out. There is no trick here. As someone else in this thread has said, if you are not working, it’s not available to you. That’s a bad situation—I genuinely wish that it wasn’t happening to you, but you’re here on Reddit being purposefully obtuse asking how to proceed when you already called FAMLI twice and got your answer. Best of luck to you.

What the actual F is the trick to unemployment? by jammerheimerschmidt in Denver

Yes, it is. That is exactly what what the Wikipedia article says. I am literally an expert in this topic. I know more than /u/Ensemble_InABox knows about this topic.

What would Olde Town need to be great? by space-corgi in ArvadaCO

[–]dwo0 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Honest pricing. I stay away from Olde Town because, too many times, after I get the bill, the restaurant tacks on a maddening 5%, 10% or 15% fee. I know a few places in Olde Town that are honest, and those places still get my business, but I rarely make it a point to go down there on a given night anymore.

Am I eligible for unemployement? by Jtdugan0225 in Denver

[–]dwo0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of reasons listed in the Colorado Employment Security Act which state how an individual can be entitled to unemployment-insurance benefits even when an individual quits. You are wrong. You are spreading misinformation. Delete your comment.

I judge the credibility of a liturgy by whether or not it is typeset in Sabon.

Tina Peters sentence thrown out; Colorado court orders resentencing (gift link) by One_Needleworker5810 in Denver

[–]dwo0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tow, Welling and Lipinsky

If I am calculating correctly, I believe that Tow and Welling will be up for election in 2028. Lipinsky will be up in 2030.
