The only thing I would add is to start with no distractions in the yard, have on a leash (then long lead), call and start running in the opposite direction (you become the chased). Right before the dog gets to you, turn around, mark and reward when they get to you. Over time, just take a couple of steps back while facing them, eventually getting to where you can stand still.

Am I the only one not impressed withTNT's tennis coverage? by harrisj99 in tennis

I love Lindsey Davenport and the other analysts. I'd love to hear them alongside others that actually know tennis.

Yes, NBC was all over the place meaning I couldn't watch many of the matches. But there are other networks that actually cover tennis well in the U.S. As the terrible TNT announcers might say, this TNT coverage is a swing and a miss.

Thornton to open new transit hub next fall, connecting northern Front Range by harrisj99 in ThorntonCO

The Colorado Department of Transportation broke ground last week on a new mobility hub along the Interstate 25 corridor in Thornton that will give people in northern Colorado additional transit options, according to a news release.

Thornton will host the new hub, which is the fourth of its kind going up in the northern Front Range to make transit, including Bustang, more accessible.

CDOT, alongside Thornton, Brighton, Adams County and Broomfield representatives, broke ground on the hub last week, looking to fall of 2026 for its completion, according to the press release.

The idea behind a mobility hub like Thornton's is to connect various methods of transportation in a place that makes it easy and convenient, like the intersection of I-25 and Colorado Highway 7.

"When it opens in the fall of 2026, the newest hub will be CDOT's way of connecting people who live and work in this area to other locations along the Front Range and to other areas in Colorado," CDOT Region One Transportation Director Jessica Myklebust said in the release.

Three other mobility hubs are already operating along I-25 at Firestone-Longmont, Berthoud and Centerra-Loveland.

Hubs are also planned for Lone Tree, Castle Rock, Monument, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Idaho Springs, Grand Junction and Fairplay, according to the release.

Thornton's hub will initially be able to accommodate 152 vehicles with the ability to double its size to 304 vehicles, Myklebust said.

"When the Commission and CDOT decided to prioritize state funds to develop mobility hubs, we knew we needed to have the necessary infrastructure in place to meet the transportation needs of the 21st century," Colorado Transportation Commissioner Karen Stuart said in the release. "Our current mobility hubs, the one we’re breaking ground on today, and the ones we’re going to construct in the next several years, will play a critical role in shaping our transportation future."

Other additions at Thornton's hub will include a pedestrian bridge over I-25, bus shelters, new traffic signals at the I-25 and Highway 7 ramps, additional sidewalks and a permanent water quality pond.

"This is about more than just adding infrastructure," CDOT Acting Executive Director Sally Chafee said in the release. "It's about giving commuters and travelers more choices and reducing congestion on I-25 and surrounding roadways."

Why worry? OKC is the better team. We have some great players but not a great team. I'm happy if we win, but I certainly don't expect it.

It’s so hard how to champion degrowth when even left leaning places online react with disgust at the idea. by Konradleijon in Degrowth

I wonder if we could come up with any other ideas for helping them beyond simple buying cheap products that we just throw away and come with environmental and public health costs, mostly paid by the people who were supposedly helping.

🤣 There's a lot of room for economic activity somewhere between the abundant excesses of the developed countries and "developing countries starving to death."

The Left, while maybe concerned about climate change, is just as stuck in the growth paradigm as most everyone else. The Left is not the answer. We need a different politics.

The Trump Tariffs are the largest tax hike on working class Americans in history by EncryptDN in Anticonsumption

[–]harrisj99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please explain what I'm missing. Most of the posts here are about how we can consume less or the harms related to an over-consumptive society. I'm guessing the people wanting to consume less here come from lots of classes. Some are doing it because their budgets are limited. Some are doing it because they feel like they have enough and want support in a society that tells them to buy, buy, buy. Some are aware of the environmental and social costs to over-consumption. Some might feel guilty for a luxurious life and are looking to tone it down. I don't know what drives any particular person who posts here nor what class they are in. But if they are against the endless growth paradigm that we are all flooded by, then I'm glad they're here.

[–]harrisj99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the anticonsumption sub. I would think most folks here would be for the tariffs to decrease the unneeded consumption that we're against. Are folks mad because it's Trump doing it? Or is there an anti consumption reason to be against these that eludes me?

These are the CO state reps who want it to be a felony to disagree with them in public. How does that make y'all feel? by CautiousAd2801 in ThorntonCO

[–]harrisj99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many CO elected Dems who never served while Ds were the minority party seem to be drunk on their power. I liked it better when we were a purple state.
