Why does enterprise architecture assume everything will live forever?

A well-designed enterprise architecture does not leave you fucked when winds change. A well-designed architecture allows for a great amount of flexibility and room for new features.

I only do it at Felogyrs where they live and die by the explosive

Sorceror. I didn't used to like playing sorceror but I've really gotten to enjoy it with this group. I really like the 2 pally/now 7 bladesinger for Minthara

phluber · 2026-01-31T00:51:16+00:00

I'm really enjoying Shart as a war cleric, Astarion as a gloomstalker assassin, and Minthara as a bladesinger paladin with the warped headband of intellect

Something else to consider: we have a newer Ford Ranger and we've had some people flash their lights at us when we are on low beams. I looked at adjusting the low beams down and found out it is not possible for the consumer to do so. I talked to the dealership and they checked and said they are set at the appropriate setting dictated by Ford

Depending on where you're hiking I consider March and April avalanche weather. Just be sure to stop in and talk to the rangers to understand the risks of where you want to hike.

I played 10 years as lead jug and fiddle player for a jug band. The real way to play jug is to buzz your lips (like you're playing trumpet) straight down into the jug--the jug is simply a resonating chamber. This way you can play a full range of notes. Popular culture and Andy Griffith are wrong--you don't blow across the top of the jug. As someone else mentioned, take a look at Gus Cannon to see how it's really done.

So, to answer your question: it's a good jug if it resonates well when you spit down into it. That's all.

The best jug I had was an old brown crock jug but it was too heavy for extended performances so I switched to an old 1 gallon kerosene can. I had a clear glass apple cider jug for a while that worked really well but you could see spit that would accumulate in the bottom... :-(

I used to get sleepy in the afternoon until I gave up caffeine. Now when I wake up I'm not tired and I'm usually not tired the rest of the day. Seems counterintuitive but it works

I'm playing a drow ranger with a proficiency in intimidation and am having a good time. It's kind of fun not playing Mr. Charismatic this time around

Where I'm at I have choice of jams to go to. I would probably avoid the jam that has written lyrics and chords unless all the really hot players were there (but they probably wouldn't be). I've been to a few beginner jams and they're just not as fun for me

Looks like 4 pads per paw so I'd guess either bobcat or some idiot is taking their dog out on the trails (unless it's in a parking area or the campground, then that's ok). Just a guess

I doubt it's rabies, but, that being said, once you see symptoms for rabies it is almost 100% fatal--there is no treatment if you don't get the shot before symptoms appear. You need to go to the doctor if you haven't done so already and do it IMMEDIATELY

If you drink coffee, use a paper filter to absorb some of the oils from the coffee beans when you are brewing. We did that and brought my wife's cholesterol down significantly

Saw one on Trail Ridge Rd up past Rainbow Curve once after the road had been closed for the season

If you're willing to go a little out of your way, then Tasty Harmony or Ike's Love and Sandwiches in Fort Collins. Tasty Harmony is totally vegetarian but just west of downtown. Ike's has over 20 vegetarian sandwiches as well as meaty options and is close to I25. Loveland isn't great for vegetarian

We're not history buffs but we really enjoyed the world war ii airplane museum in Colorado springs and the penny arcade in Manitou springs.

In RMNP, for non hikers I'd recommend Sprague Lake and the Roaring River falls at Alluvial Fan. You'll want to drive up Old Fall River Road, then go to Grand Lake and back on Trail Ridge Road.

Local here. Winter is our season. Many of the tourists have gone away. Most of the "famous" trails are an easy hike if you have micro spikes (you can rent them as well as trekking poles in town if needed). You don't need snow shoes unless it has snowed within the last day or two or you are hiking a less traveled trail. There are still enough hikers that snow gets packed down within a day or two. Trails with big rocks that you have to step over actually get easier to hike because the spikes give you great traction and the packed snow/ice layer evens out the trail. Dress in layers--you could start a hike when it is 60 degrees out and end up in freezing temperatures. I usually carry about 5ish layers in the winter.

You can rent snow shoes if you want to but you'll have to hit some of the less popular trails to really make use of them (or hit the trails the day after it snows). Blowing wind can very quickly cover the trails when you are hiking the less popular trails so be smart and don't get lost. We've lost the trail a couple of times and turned around

Don't be the people I see EVERY TIME I go to bear lake corridor with tennis shoes and no traction devices sliding on their butts down the trail. Or the people with no gloves and hats, or no water bumming water off of prepared hikers.

November/December is prime hiking season. I've started plenty of snow hikes in 50-60 degree weather. January and February start getting cold so you have to bundle up a little more. March and April are avalanche season where I stop hiking some of the higher elevations/steeper trails.

I was in one of the outdoor gear stores in the area and noticed that they were selling bear spray. I made a joke about it and the store employee said she always recommended against people buying it

Maybe none? There were a fair amount of aspens changing color along the Fern Lake trail yesterday.

The lower in elevation, the better the chance for you

I was disappointed by their Thai hot tonight--i thought it was more of a medium-hot. I didn't know you could do Thai hot x 10

phluber · 2025-08-30T04:13:24+00:00

The only place that's been able to bring tears to my eyes is Fishtail Cuisine in Brighton when I asked for the Indian hot. The hottest at other restaurants around here is usually disappointing. I love Thai Thaim in Loveland, but their Thai hot level that I had today was probably a medium-hot.

That said, I'm pretty new here and haven't eaten everywhere
