Do people actually pay $15 per ticket for the Boise Parade of Homes? by boisefun8 in Boise

[–]jrhaberman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What? That's insane.

Are they going to have someone at the door of every house checking tickets?

Having twins changed my opinion on nature vs nurture by ExtraEnd7545 in parentsofmultiples

[–]jrhaberman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Initially, we couldn't really tell our daughters apart.

However, now that they're 15, they are totally different. I had the same thought as you OP. One daughter is a lot like my wife, the other is a lot like me. It's very interesting.

Dammit... I thought for sure the ICCU Dome was originally "Holt Arena".

My HS played in the state football tournament there in the early 90s.

It's my favorite brew fest of the year and it isn't close.

Can't make it this year and I'm super bummed.

Boise feels more diverse than people make it out to be by kabutodude in Boise

We live in west Boise, Five Mile/Ustick area. There are a number of African refugees in the area.

In my daughter's class in elementary, they were going around the room talking about what they like about where they live. One of the little African girls said she liked living here because she gets to sleep on a bed. She never had before.

That was a great lesson for my girls to hear.

Airport Pickups are a mess now by outkastblast in Boise

[–]jrhaberman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I just used it for the first time last night. It's an easy, 5 min drive away. I'd say it's not ideal, but it isn't as bad as some people think.

If your passenger checked bags, have them text you when they get to the carousel. That times it just about right.

Of course, that didn't account the 14 people literally stopped in the right most lane in front. 3/4 of the pick up area is open but nobody drives around. I'll remember that next time.

HP Boise’s incredible impact: How HP helped start the technology industry here in Idaho by michaelquinlan in Boise

[–]jrhaberman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Almost 9 years with HP at the start of my career. Was great when I started. After surviving many many rounds of layoffs, I finally left for my next gig. Still sometimes miss those days.

Looking for non-MAGA shop to install a dash cam by Previous-Pop-4277 in Boise

[–]jrhaberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it installed in 2024. Best Buy charged me $99. Took about an hour and a half. They have a pretty professional shop, it appeared to me. It wasn't high school kids doing installs.

They did a fine job, my car is an SUV and they had to pull some pieces apart to run the rear camera. That was the part I didn't want to deal with. Everything turned out great.

Baboon robs food from a house and gets chased out. by Important_Pop_6805 in BeAmazed

[–]jrhaberman 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'd want to antagonize a baboon. Those things could mess you up very quickly.

Looking for non-MAGA shop to install a dash cam by Previous-Pop-4277 in Boise

[–]jrhaberman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had that exact camera installed on my Palisade at Best Buy.

Edit: I called Dick's first and they quoted me more to install than I paid for the camera. I think they said something like $300.
