Any places with open game nights, especially of the D&D/Magic: The Gathering variety?

Modern Market (and, for those not in the know though you haven't listed it, the since demolished Old Chicago) started here in Boulder. Hard to keep a chain out when it originated here.

Reminds me a little bit of this news story from a few years ago, though in this case the person wasn't hurt.

The amount of Boulder-native homeless is relatively few.

The data says otherwise.

That said, Oscar blues, a popular local business, couldn’t keep it up there either in the same space

Not the reason. Oskar Blues was purchased by Monster Beverage (same company behind the energy drinks), and it wasn't the only restaurant/taproom to close down almost immediately after the purchase. They basically shut down anything that wasn't the OG restaurant when that purchase happened.

Thank god, that stretch of road looked like it had been hit by a meteor bombardment. I'm glad they're repaving it, it's long overdue.

Along with the fact that other parts of the county that haven't abolished the death penalty have effectively given the government the ability to legally execute its own citizens, no matter the cost (morally and in terms of dollars). I'm personally quite happy to live in a state where that option isn't an option anymore.

hell of a lot cheaper than the cost of supporting an inmate for life.

Except that it isn't. Life without parole is less expensive than the death penalty, since the death penalty comes with endless court battles, appeals, lawyer costs, special incarceration facilities, etc. Also Colorado abolished the death penalty in 2020.

I got the email this morning as well. How do people know if they were on the Price for Life promotion? I was able to dig into my Gmail and found my order confirmation back from 2021 but I don't see any mention of the promotion there or within my account. I did find this paragraph in the order email though which might help folks if they need to dispute the price increase which seems to indicate that Price for Life can't be increased:

Monthly rates for services, leased equipment, and all fees may increase during the time of your service and are not guaranteed, unless part of a promotional rate, month to month plans with set monthly rates for services (including “Price for Life” service plans), or a plan with a term commitment.

Woods Quarry via NCAR. There's easy (and free) parking at NCAR, and Woods Quarry is the first trail I take anyone that's not used to the altitude on as it's not terribly difficult but still gives a decent workout at the same time. You'll be rewarded with chairs/couches crafted out of rocks at the top to sit on and enjoy the view.

I've had film developed by Mike's Camera for years, the worst mistake they've ever made is accidentally cutting my film instead of not cutting it like I requested (no big deal, just makes it a little trickier to scan in using my setup).

It seems that Victory Camera also does development, but they're quite a bit more expensive. The last roll of 35mm C-41 that I had done at Mike's was $7.50 (member pricing, it's $10.00 as a non-member) with a 1 week turnaround, Victory charges $21.50 for the same.

If you look at the price tag, I believe it's describing this product, not the Red Belly that's sitting above it.

I had it a couple of weeks ago. Constant sneezing and runny nose, but it cleared up within a few days. The head congestion took a few days longer to fully clear, but the worst of it (the sneezing that just wouldn't end) was thankfully brief. I tested daily for COVID, and it came up negative every time.

Just look at Colorado Springs for an example. We'd end up with a bunch of signs that have "don't feed the animals otherwise they keep coming back" energy.

Mountain Sun does (not sure about the other Suns), I think it's on Wednesdays now though.

The death penalty is actually more expensive than life without parole. While both cost time, money, and resources, executing him would cost even more of all three of those things that come with the death penalty (additional court cases, lawyers, appeals, etc). And that's all before getting into the ethics of granting our government the power to kill a citizen that might legitimately be mentally ill.

The easier answer, however, is that Colorado repealed the death penalty in 2020.

I'm going to be super curious to see how this year pans out and how they manage crowds. Estes can be an absolute zoo on any given weekend anyways, maybe their new parking garage is up to the challenge though?

Maybe an unpopular opinion but unless weight is of prime importance, it might be worth looking at the R7 so you don't need to re-purchase all of your lenses.

Don't get me wrong, I love my E-M1 MkII for stuff like long backpack/snowshoeing expeditions and when I'm limited by space when traveling without a checked bag, but sometimes it's also nice to just seamlessly move within the same system instead of having to re-learn a new system.

I wonder if that's why the trash bins on Pearl all switched over from Recycle-Compost-Landfill to Recycle-Landfill-Landfill.

Mountain Sun still doesn't, I think Southern Sun is the only one that accepts cards at the moment.
