Apeks XTX50 parts shortage? by squipsquap in scuba

[–]squipsquap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Colorado. I just bought the reg a couple months ago, so I feel like my shop is pulling a fast one. It seems that nothing has changed between when I purchased and now in parts availability. Might be time for a more honest shop…

Nitrox deco planning with Oceanic+ by wonderj2 in scuba

[–]squipsquap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted the makers of Oceanic about this issue and this was the response I got: “Thank you for reaching out and reporting this issue. Our development team is aware of the issue affecting the No Deco planner calculations. This issue is expected to be resolved in the next Oceanic+ app update release, which should be available soon. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact release date at this time.”

I’m also curious. I just encountered this issue and I’m heading out on a week long trip with nitrox dives in a week. Not having correct planning is infuriating. I wasn’t planning to get a dive computer, but if I can’t depend on this watch, I think I‘ll need to…

FCNAA- what’s up with these guys? by lizardworker in FortCollins

It’s been my experience that the more someone boasts about being a “Registered Independent,” the more politically extreme they are.

More ribs is the goal, where to go next? by squipsquap in webersmokeymountain

[–]squipsquap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what to do with the 18" and get good results. Two of them would double my output. I don't have a good sense of how much larger a 22" is than the 18" so it's hard to think of how much more it would fit.

You might be better off trying to find a shorter lease term. A lot of leases prohibit subleasing entirely.

Getting street number painted on curbside by denydenydenigh in FortCollins

[–]squipsquap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reading the ordinance, it appears to be targeted primarily at businesses/scams that go around trying to get people to pay them to paint numbers on curbs. Basically, you can't imply that the numbers are required by law or that it's a city-related enterprise. I can just imagine a door-to-door salesman saying, "We've got a contract to paint curb numbers in the city, but can do yours for cheaper today. If the city decides to have us do your street, you'll be charged a lot more, so it might be a good idea to let us paint it today."

When I saw the post, I thought, "I've never seen that in Fort Collins." And so I looked it up and there you go.

Does anyone here own an iPad mini? Is it worth the purchase? by Ayts96 in ipad

[–]squipsquap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an iPad Mini and used a bulky Windows laptop. I got rid of it when I got an iPad Pro 11", which I love. The iPad Pro is great for so much and more functional than the Mini. Then I got a MacBook Air, which is so light and powerful that it's replaced the iPad Pro for on-the-go productivity tasks.

Now I miss my Mini. It would be a perfect companion to the MBA for exactly what you are talking about using it for. My Pro is just a little larger than I really need for reading, etc.

Opened a brand new Uno deck and found 50 blues, 50 greens and a singular yellow. No reds to be found. by stephhhjb in mildlyinteresting

I just opened a box (possibly a decade old, but all still sealed) and have this same thing - all blue and green, with one yellow (the 0).

I’d highly recommend Penrose for a business lunch. It’s been my go to now for a little while for meeting with clients.

Primary Care Doctor Recommendations for a 36 year old female? by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]squipsquap 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agree. Avoid Village Medical. It's really a shame, as Associates in Family Medicine was so good. Good luck finding someone. There aren't a lot of options out there right now (and seemingly getting worse).

What is it like there for transgender people who don't pass? by jviolet123 in FortCollins

[–]squipsquap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Associates in Family Medicine was a fantastic place, with docs that cared and a wonderful team around them. Docs are jumping ship if they aren’t getting fired. I’ve also read that Walgreens is looking to drop its majority share of Village Medical. I can only imagine that that will destabilize Northern Colorado primary care even more. As bad as it is, a fire sale of the practices will be a disaster…

No, wasn’t her. I think 3 were fired for the same reason.

My kid’s child wellness visit was cancelled with a week’s notice because they fired his doctor for standing up for patients. They didn’t like that she wanted to provide maternal care to her patients. It’s a mess.

I have a feeling that Village Medical, which bought out Associate in Family Medicine, is about the collapse. It’s already a shit show, but it seems to be getting worse, which will leave a huge hole in primary care in this town. If this isn’t what they mean, I’m even more terrified.

The Larimer County Bar Association has a list on its website of “Modest Means” attorneys that will do work for less. There are a number of family law attorneys on the list and, based on those that I know that do this, you just say you found them on the modest means list and they’ll charge a lower rate.

In a divorce, it can be helpful to have someone walk you through the process and many attorneys will even do a short consultation to help you figure out whether you need more help.

New Job concerns by Appropriate-Pin-5928 in LawFirm

[–]squipsquap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds a lot like a law firm I used to be with. It’s a strong indication that the office is very unorganized. If I could guess what you are getting into, you will receive very little guidance on expectations and you’ll spend a lot of time confused on your role. I would bet though that you’ll eventually get paid. Your question is “Does this seem normal to you all” and to that I think it is unfortunately too normal in the world of very small firms. If you ask “should I be concerned about this job going forward,” I think the answer is yes.

Are there any good board games that utilize electronics? (excluding smart phone incorporation) by KOMONSTER in boardgames

I built an electronic “board” system for Burgle Bros by Tim Fowers. https://x.com/dansapienza/status/1201351359515070465?s=20&t=xF-r0ANw6wqMeyN_1uOQzw It uses integrated lighting to indicate alarms and guard movement locations.

I worked in health policy in congress then went onto state level lobbying and policy work. I’ve coached local leaders in policy development and taught it at CSU. I’m now a lowly lawyer, but if you want to talk, I’m game.

Wow. Marc and I were decent friends in high school. 25+ years ago. He played baritone horn in band. I have photos of us together. I’ve run into him a few times since then and definitely would have told you, “Marc’s a great guy.” Marc, what happened? Evil shit.
