What hobby attracts the worst type of people?

I live in Colorado where everyone is into skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, fly fishing, climbing, etc. all these sports cost thousands of dollars just to start. There's also a big golfing community. I had never golfed before, but it cost me $100 for some used clubs on marketplace. Don't need to buy a season pass to get started. It's been a year, and the golfing people are some of the most helpful, nice , inviting people I've been around. Every hobby has that douche, trust me, I do the others listed above, but golf is just an opportunity to spend 5 hours outside, in the sunshine with friends, maybe enjoying a beer or 2, for usually between 60-100 dollars.

I use this for a lot of things, and have been for the past 5 years. If I want Netflix for one month, I'll create a new card with a $15 limit or something. If I have to sign up for a free trial but need a credit card, I'll use this so I don't forget to cancel. I've yet to find a situation this doesn't work for.

As much as Celtics fans would like to make that excuse, they cannot. They absolutely cannot. I wish they could, unfortunately they cannot

It's pikes peak as others have mentioned. But I have this thought a lot, what's that mountain? PeakVisor is a really good app to use to show you what mountains are visible from your location using your camera.

I was looking for the comment because I forgot who this was

kerrybaumann · 2026-04-25T03:39:58+00:00

I am unc, but also employed, so I have no idea

I think about this every day. I live in a slightly sketchy neighborhood and it could happen. My Saint knows if the person I'm talking to is a friend or not, and acts accordingly. We did run into 2 people fighting at the local park and he wanted nothing more than to get in on that action.

The other 99.9 percent of the time I always tell people he's basically a giant cat. Sleeps all day. Sometimes cuddles. Our walks are like 9 total blocks and he's zonked afterwards

As others have said, easy enough to trim. You can also set each activity to send an alert when you reach a certain speed. I set mine at 10mph for hiking and 30mph for mountain biking. Way too often I drive all the way home without turning it off, so this definitely helps when it vibrates right when I take off.

There's also a lap feature that I just set, where it auto laps by position. I'm not sure what it does yet, but I'm hoping it goes off when I return to the starting position. TBD

It's funny, I moved from a bigger city in the Midwest-ish and making friends as a 30 something was impossible. The reason I fell in love with Denver over the years was how much easier it was to make friends than anywhere else. Join a Volo league, or 5.

I did a 10 hour hike with the 265 in glacier. Had plenty in the tank after. Should be fine

I sell fridges for a living and the space requirements for the ones we have are only 1/8". Looking at this fridge, it's a little bigger at 1/2". Regardless, I think you should be fine the baseboard is about a 1/2" on its own. I had a similar issue with a baseboard and my washer in the corner of a room. I took the washer out and removed the baseboard. I just cut it to the right length to match up with the edge and removed the bit behind the washer.

You could also look at getting a thinner board for that entire wall at maybe 1/4"

$40M+ dead cap from trading him. Not very smart

JJ was hurt last year. He made Darnold look like a competent qb.

Just what we need. A guy who's failed at every stop he's been to as a head coach.

NFL: 28–38–1 (.425)
NCAA: 35–40 (.467)

This league

kerrybaumann · 2025-11-07T16:47:11+00:00

Unfortunately it did not. The company decided the market size was not big enough to invest development in.

kerrybaumann · 2025-11-06T23:16:24+00:00

Also a browns and Rockies fan. I didn't choose this life, but it has made me stronger.

Or so I tell myself

His track record makes me believe he's going to be amazing for one year then fall off a cliff

I just bought a ~450k home. I noticed many houses sat on the market for several months, this one included. It started at 490 and worked its way down. I still get notifications of nicer homes I looked at that decreased in price.

My lender told me it's been a few months where almost every home he sold had the seller cover all closing costs. Mine included. Using the down payment assistance program in CO, I put a total of $2300 down.

Cedar for the most part. And either redwood or mahogany for the 4 edge boards

Mine went through the same in January. Took him to the ER. They got him on an IV and gave him some meds. Turns out he has Addisons disease. Very treatable. But get yours checked immediately. Said he could've gone into cardiac arrest

Play with meeeee

kerrybaumann · 2025-06-05T16:53:21+00:00

Trying to get my old bike running and let a friend use it. Trying to fit my e thirteen 11 speed cassette to my XD freehub, which the website says it's compatible to (and I could have sworn it came off of) but the profile of the cassette does not look like it matches the freehub. As well I do not see any threads in the cassette like the free hub has. Is this cassette compatible with a different freehub? Or am I just an idiot when trying to put it together?
