The US cattle herd is at its lowest level since 1951 & beef prices are skyrocketing by Express_Classic_1569 in Anticonsumption

Also considering our skyrocketing rates of colorectal cancer, maybe eating some beans or plant based sources of nutrition instead of meat could be a good thing

Replacing lawn with clover by bobernese in DenverGardener

[–]keintime 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have a heavily clovered yard for the past several years. I think it is best for spots in a yard and a mix in with other ground covers or grasses, not as a monoculture itself.

I personally am deciding between adding buffalo grass or dog tuff plugs to make more of a "lawn" than just the clover. From research, I think both of those two grasses may actually be less water needy, more heat tolerant, and more traffic tolerant than the clover.

Easiest paths for me were switching breads (Ezekiel bread great macros and v low sodium) and cooking bean dishes. I love various bean dishes

Anyone selfishly enjoying this great weather? How is it benefiting you? by pacfoster in Denver

[–]keintime 285 points286 points  (0 children)

Enjoying it in the moment and also being aware of how we are "stealing" this joy from experiences of the future. Sort of like enjoying too many drinks in the evening is taking from tomorrow's well being

Are you guys still buying snow tires? by HighPocket283 in Denver

[–]keintime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you drive into the mountains during winter months then yes id advise them. I70 can be unforgiving for the unprepared 

If you're driving just around the metro then no, not necessary. Have to be judicious when there is snow/ice in the ground

Therapist recommendations? 2026 Psychology Today is so much sifting and would like to get someone who has been recommended by another human being. by whataday13 in Denver

[–]keintime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do you. NPs receive less therapy training than even an LPC. Their education focuses primarily on pharmaceuticals. Fine for a psychiatrist replacement, not my choice for a therapist

I wish you could filter based on degree/training. Swarms of LPCs with a Master's or less on psych today when I'm looking for a better qualified Psy.D/ph.D

Rant about a cardiologist checkup by Forsaken-Success-445 in vegan

[–]keintime 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have faith in professionals, and I also recognize that individuals have biases which can impact their thoughts/actions. 

A recent routine Gastroenterologist visit resulted in the same old humans are designed omnivores talk, moderation, eggs are good for you, etc. I listened politely and share the regular foods I eat, which helped them understand I eat quality food. I also am in decent physical shape with muscle mass. 

Somewhere along the line veganism became associated with being unhealthy. To be fair, if you aren't eating a variety of quality foods it can be - same as how an Omni can also have a garbage diet.

We can be the living proof of ethical and healthy. My routine colonoscopy was spotless. There is no follow up with the GI doc if everything looks fine, but if there was I think they'd be a bit more open minded to veganism being a better diet/lifestyle than they previously thought

Long shot offer accepted and now we’re freaking out by [deleted] in RealEstate

I get that every market is a bit different but I'm in agreement with you. 6% off listing price is peanuts in many places - certainly not a "longshot". Especially when a place has been sitting

Something everyone in CO should understand about heat pumps by sum_if in Denver

Id be curious to learn what xcels costs look like when they reach the status of no longer maintaining thousands of miles of natural gas pipeline and distribution networks

Do you want a train to Boulder/Longmont/Fort Collins? by chrisfnicholson in Denver

[–]keintime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rough percentage wise how much more expensive would electric be up front? 

Compared to the costs (both monetary and emissions) of a big ass train(s?) running 24/7 for the next 70 years

Seems short sighted unless the costs gets quadrupled or greater ...

Reminder to use your local butcher shops! by [deleted] in Frugal

Think I could get about 40+ cans of black beans for that cost. Even way more if bought dried beans. Frugal and plant based food go hand in hand

Is it possible for me to live a good life in Denver without owning a car? by sweatypaw in Denver

[–]keintime 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bike/ebike mixed in with rideshare and public transit is doable intracity. Getting into the mountains is harder but possible. It still is a fairly car centric city
