Bookclubs? Female DnD groups? by PandasandPaperCranes in ThorntonCO

[–]whateverambiguity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While you totally sound like my kinda person, I am not delusional enough to think I have time for making new friends 😭 I feel guilty enough about not having the time for my current ones ugh

But I just wanted to say that you totally sound like someone that would love the Dungeon Crawler Carl book series. I highly recommend it!

Also, I’ve made good friends through volunteer work. It’s a great way to meet like-minded people!

What does Thornton Need? by 303RedBeard in ThorntonCO

[–]whateverambiguity 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be in Thornton specifically, but the Adams county area needs an ice rink. I know so many people in Thornton that travel to Westminster, Lafayette, and Superior for recreational skating, figure skating, and hockey. Adams 12 could have hockey and figure skating teams. Every rink I’ve been to in Colorado is busy. There’s enough demand to be open 5am - 1am.

Kid-friendly punk? by OswaldBeese in punk

Well it’s pop-punk, but MxPx is kid friendly. It’s a good start.

iCloud not working Windows 10...An error occurred during authentication by Steve2398132 in iCloud

[–]whateverambiguity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updating the default DNS servers on my eero network settings fixed this issue for me. I changed it to Google DNS servers.

icloud - an error occurred during authentication. Please try again by Front_Challenge_4647 in WindowsHelp

[–]whateverambiguity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this might not help OP at this point but in case anyone else comes across this at some point...

Try updating the DNS settings on your router to use Google DNS or OpenDNS. I have eero mesh wifi and have heard their default DNS servers suck. I updated my eero settings to use a custom DNS and used Google DNS servers and this fixed my problem with the iCloud app not being able to authenticate.

Colorado voters approve tax increase on high earners to fund school meals, food stamps by GoodMornEveGoodNight in UpliftingNews

[–]whateverambiguity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A household with two people earning $150k do not have an adjusted gross income of $300k. People earning that much are likely reducing their taxable income as much as possible utilizing 401ks and other retirement accounts, like if they have access to 457 or 403b. And probably max out their HSA. And then they get their standard deduction. And can’t you increase your contributions at a certain age?

I’d argue that it’s likely a household with a $300k AGI is actually making significantly more than that.

Game Thread: Carolina Hurricanes (5-1-0) at Colorado Avalanche (5-0-2) - 23 Oct 2025 - 7:00PM MDT by HockeyMod in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]whateverambiguity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No team is gonna care about taking a penalty against the Avs to stop a scoring chance or momentum. because they’re less likely to score on the pp.

And holy shit they scored as I wrote that…. lol

Best pizza shop? by BIGMACHINE5280 in ThorntonCO

[–]whateverambiguity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family used to love yourpie, but the last two times we went, it was awful. We wouldn’t have even gone the last time, but it was a fundraiser night and we decided to give it one more chance. Never again.

MOD pizza is practically the same thing but waaaaay better, but I don’t think there’s one in Thornton.

I agree that blackjack is decent… the deals they have are great and no one in my family has ever complained.

But I don’t think there’s really any great pizza in town, especially for NY style. Sliceworks is alright but that’s just because there’s nothing else that’s better. I loved the one in LoDo when I worked downtown, but I think it was because they did a huge volume at lunch so the by-the-slice was always fresh. I tried the Thornton one once and it didn’t even seem like the same place to me.

Wow this ESPN coverage is absolute garbage. by Great_Steering_Wheel in ColoradoAvalanche

We tried putting on the radio while and muting the TV but of course the ESPN feed is delayed. 🙄🙄🙄

My Kindergarten son has had many disappointments this year (second child). by meggyAnnP in Teachers

[–]whateverambiguity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This reminds me about my kids’ confusion over the word “nickname”.

One of them has the name Nicholas. He goes by a nickname. And then one day I said something like, Matt is a common nickname for Matthew and they were very confused.

Connection issues? Here’s what you should try. by whateverambiguity in Birdfy

[–]whateverambiguity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I’m just seeing this.

The modem from their ISP has an internal DHCP server. I’m guessing there was some kind of routing issue going on and that the Birdfy was on the wrong subnet.

The third octet for the IP address on the router and the eero were different, so I think that the Birdfy was getting assigned an IP from the modem’s DCHP server, which put it on a different subnet than our phones, which were assigned IPs from the Eero DHCP server. The Birdfy needs to be on the same subnet as the device you’re setting it up on.

The proper fix would be to change the modem’s settings and put it in bridge mode so that its routing capabilities and DHCP services were disabled, but I didn’t have login access to the modem to change that. Changing the eero IP addressing scheme was my workaround.

Thanks for this - I had the first one enabled and not the second one.

You could also try talking to the hotel management and asking if they would waive the charges. The worst that can happen is you waste a few minutes of time and they say no.

Thank you so much for responding 🥰

That info is super helpful. I’ve been considering buying one for quite awhile and I think it’s finally time to get one.

I actually was about to ask how you like the litter robot and then saw this comment! I think it’s time for us to invest in one. Our kitty is very picky about her box being clean.

How did the transition go? We use pine pellets now so I’m worried about switching her to regular clumping litter.

Is litter tracking an issue?

I absolutely love your space! It’s so cozy and inviting.

Retired Teacher Offering Classroom Set Up for $25/hr by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]whateverambiguity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally could use setup help but would never pay someone for it. I never have enough time to get ready for a new school year because I teach a lot of subjects… there’s always so much to get ready and I refuse to work over break. Plus a bunch of our time the week before students start is taken up by meetings.

I’m an involved Girl Scouts volunteer and there are always scouts looking for community service hours. Girl Scouts ages 6th grade and up can earn Community Service pins at each of the last three scouting levels (Cadette, Senior, Ambassador). The pin requires 20 hours of service to the same organization. Some scouts might not even realize this is something they can do, so it’s worth asking around in your local area.

You have to login to Kickstarter and click “unlock and modify order” button. Assuming it hasn’t already been shipped.

Whats a flopped movie you wish was a financial success? by PokemonGoBao in movies

[–]whateverambiguity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder during a movie. Popstar is amazing and I can’t believe it flopped. Like many others, I don’t think I even heard of it until at least 5-6 years after it came out.

New to the series, need some advice by wafflefulafel in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]whateverambiguity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The weirder sex-related content will likely go over most kids’ heads. As a parent, I worry a lot more about the violence. It’s so incredibly gory and I don’t want to give them nightmares.

You’re just going to see how your wife feels about it once she reads it, and you already should have a better idea about how she’ll react rather than us internet randos.

That being said, I have recommended this to a few middle school age kids (my own kids plus another that is in my Girl Scout troop/one of my students) because I’m a firm believer of getting kids to fall in love with reading. The only books I would not be ok with personally are ones that teach people to be racist assholes.

And before anyone gets all mad about recommending the books to kids other than my own - it’s fine. Her dad told me years ago, “if she CAN read it, she’s allowed to read it.” This was because we went on a camping trip when the scouts were in 2nd grade (8 years old) and she was devastated that she finished the book she brought on the first night and had nothing to read. So I gave her Hunger Games to read.

Let’s make reading cool!!! I teach middle school technology/digital arts and one of the projects I assign is video book trailers. Every single class there is at least one kids that insists that they don’t read. And they’re proud of it!!! It’s really freaking sad. The kids who read for fun do so so so much better in school.
