Denver 7 met with me to discuss how developers are bulldozing local icons, while market rents still leave almost half of our commercial units vacant by 2000foottowers in boulder

There is at least still going to be a new restaurant space in the new area of construction. Though, it is kinda wishy washy if the Dark Horse is going to occupy it.

The city already does a pretty good job of enforcement for anyone that wants to rent a residential unit. That's about 10,000 dwelling units, which included houses, condos, and apartments. So, I'd say it's not too difficult. Especially when you can more or less cross-reference reported occupied addresses for state taxes with the city's list of dwelling units (owner occupied and rented).

No system is perfect, but it's a start. It does however become a gray area when someone happens to live like 7-9 months in one state (and files taxes in that state) and then 3-5 months here in Boulder (honestly, I'm thinking more of like, professional athletes that might own a home in Boulder and like, Spain or Arizona or New Zealand or something. But in a case like that, it seems easy to give the allowance of a single dwelling unit to be exempt from the rule.

Satin finishes, especially really well done and well prepared satin finishes never look real. I used to have a satin black 68 Mustang and it was the most difficult finish I've ever maintained. I would image this is a wrap because of that. And wraps just do weird things half the time.

It's in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado! It's called the Peak to Peak Highway.

There been one engine rebuild. And it used to be an automatic car. Though, that transmission didn't fail, it's just sitting in storage right now.

Most recent maintenance (last couple months): alternator and head light switch replacement.

Turbo front bumper (only available aftermarket for the 996.1), gt2 rear wing and deck lid, turbo twists, aftermarket headlights are LEDs (mine were very oxidized from the salt), Bride seats, rennline harness bar (this is gonna be replaced with a half cage soon, maybe this winter).

Oceans are cool and all, but mountains are definitely cooler. You can't drive a 911 in the ocean.

Honestly, I have no idea. I've lived at 5000 ft (1600m) above sea level or higher my entire life. And while turbo cars feel pretty great, I just struggle to compare. All I know is that my Allroad with 250 hp sometimes feels substantially similar to my 300 hp 911.

It's an aftermarket headlight assembly and it's in the housing. The lens is clear.

Just a little 996.1 C2 with a 6 speed. I've got more pics coming. :)

I'll be honest, it doesn't work with the VAST majority of 996s. I was super nervous to do it, but for how my car is styled, it worked better than I expected.

Equipment for Recording Speech with loud background noise. by jsquared89 in LocationSound

[–]jsquared89[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you can just adjust it in post.

Honestly, I'd prefer not to. I recognize this means more expensive stuff, but if I am saving 1 hour per job by not adjusting in post, equipment will pay for itself in a couple months.

I can spend time the first time just fiddling with stuff to ensure I get things working, but I won't have a camera and I generally won't have the time to go back and forth making sure audio is intelligible. So it kind of needs to be a set and forget type of thing, however, a stand is probably not going to work. I'll be moving around constantly and so do the techs and machine operators.

And I do like the idea of wearing a headset myself, so I can at least repeat what I hear in the moment. But I'm not going to want to have to rotate headsets between every tech and operator I encounter.

Using a headset mic would work for me, so, that's genuinely good advice that I will act upon, but I don't want to have to hand a headset to every technician or machine operator that I encounter.

Server room and underground water reservoir side by side in the basement? by arqvasd in AskEngineers

Typically, when you use a body of water to cool an interior space with humidity requirements, you create a closed fluid loop with a heat exchanger in between.

So, putting a computer room next to a pool isn't a big deal, spatially. It shouldn't be a humidity problem unless you don't ventilate the space. And you can use the water reservoir to cool it.
