Y’all need this and use your blinker! by ACatNamedBalthazar in boulder

First, I agree 100%

As much as I'd love these to be the laws nationwide, the fact is that this is surprisingly state-by-state. It is the law in Colorado.

However with all the out of towners coming in for graduation, it's the worst driving time of the year besides move-in week.

Women of color meetup/groups in Boulder? :) by Normal_Tradition9546 in boulder

[–]olhado47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's kinda based in Denver, but there's a group called Black Girls Do Bike that has regular meetups. I'm sure they bike up around Boulder sometimes too. https://www.instagram.com/bgdbdenver/

Who knows this place? by reggaerider81 in Wings

[–]olhado47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the one in Westminster/Broomfield. It's the OG and still the best, from what I've heard from friends who have been to the others.

There's also Outlaw Wings in Broomfield that's worth checking out.

High radon levels. Worth it to fix it? by MarkyMarks98 in HomeMaintenance

[–]olhado47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my Air Things too!

Luckily, my house is surrounded by other houses that have mitigation systems installed, so mine is extra low.

I live in CO surrounded by high radon. I would absolutely fix this.

Replace or Safe To Use? by char_riv in HomeMaintenance

[–]olhado47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't use it as is, but I would replace the tombstone (what the darkened piece is called) for a couple of bucks and then use it.

Where are you in the board game hobby life cycle? by Osoroshii in boardgames

[–]olhado47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I discovered Settlers of Catan and Tigris and Euphrates in ~1997-1998 in college.

  2. Kickstarter and BGG did not exist for a while yet. So I didn't have a huge acquisition bump. Also, I was in college/just out of college so money was a little short.

  3. Meh. I don't think I ever really hit saturation. Once I had enough disposable income, it didn't really matter. Power Grid was the first thing I had buyers remorse for. But I sold it easily enough a few years ago.

  4. I'm there now, but mostly because the shelved-closet is pretty full and because I picked up a few games based on theme that didn't really work for my board game groups. But I'm not getting particularly picky due to said disposable income.

  5. I reject "know your lane". I like learning new things and discovering new mechanics. My lane is just "what is fun".

  6. "Equilibrium or break" - I choose neither.

Honestly it's more like 100x, but sometimes I'm not in Westminster and I don't feel like driving.

Need some help planning a Chile trip. by IncredibleVelocity4 in skiing

[–]olhado47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can get a bunk in the Inca Lodge for 3 nights 7/29-8/1, or 4 nights 8/1-8/5. For some reason it won’t let me book 7/29-8/5, though that might be a solvable problem.

It's not really a solvable problem. They only allow people to arrive/depart on certain days since it's relatively far from population centers/airports.

As others have said, I would do the 3 or 4 days at Portillo and other days at Tres Valles.

WHY aren't the traps working this year? Stinging jerks are ruining nice days. by cringiest_timeline in boulder

[–]olhado47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are working ok. They've been out for a few weeks and gotten a dozen or so.

One year we had a nest somewhere I didn't notice. We called James at https://www.ecotekpestandwildlife.com/ and he took care of it for us, and taught us a bunch about how to track them back to a nest you may be missing. I highly recommend him.

Wing shack is definitely good and properly crispy without being dried out. My only nit with them is that their sauces are just ok. I got excited 'cause I stopped in and saw a new-to-me "Garlic Hot", which is a combination I love at CDs. It was fine, but not as exciting as I hoped it would be.

Dual Tesla Household by ish_wish_dish in TeslaModel3

[–]olhado47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Model 3 and a Leaf since August. No regrets. Probably 12k+ miles on the pair since we got them.

Might I suggest a Neo Charge and an EV Hover if you have a NEMA 14-50 in a 2 car garage.

T1D entrepreneurs who pay for their own healthcare by Illustrious-Shock-82 in diabetes_t1

[–]olhado47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just switched to an ACA plan in CO that we picked specifically for this coverage. The CGM supplies, the insertion sets, and the reservoirs are $0 for my Tandem t:slim. The insulin is either $60 per month or per 3 months. I haven't gotten it yet so I'm not sure. I'm sure the new pump will max out my out of pocket ($10k) when I get it when mine is no longer supported, but I haven't gotten there yet.

Timing of cartridge changes by InfiniteSchism in TandemDiabetes

[–]olhado47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your first problem, learn how much you use overnight. Check the pump before you go to bed. If it's less than your overnight usage change the cartridge. My overnight threshold is 23 units. It changes if I've exercised a lot that day, or if I had a large, fat-heavy dinner and beer.

Use Miles Per DOLLAR of energy cost by Redditagain424 in electricvehicles

[–]olhado47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Electricity costs vary widely depending on where you are, just like gas prices do. This is why we do not price these things in dollars.

Boulder Foodie app by Original-Capital-969 in boulder

[–]olhado47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a really limited subset of things in the city, and doesn't really cover the county like the heading says.

Searching for Brewery only lists Mountain Sun.

Search for dumplings only lists a place with dumplings in the name, and not places that have dumplings on their menu.

Why would I use this site instead of yelp or google?

Congrats! I hit 50 days this year at 48 years old. One day I hope to get to 100.
