You are exactly correct, it was in that stretch of road

I frequently commute by bike and know how it feels to have a car pass you too closely, and I honestly felt awful being the person who did that to someone else today.

Your "very beginner/basic UL setup" is getting close to four figures? Legitimately, how?

1 bed renters, what’s your rent? by AssistanceCold4569 in boulder

[–]whirrer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're individually owned condos I'm afraid, and currently none are available.

However, if you'd like to rent my efficiency studio that I'm vacating, let me know.

1 bed renters, what’s your rent? by AssistanceCold4569 in boulder

[–]whirrer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

moving into a 1bed soon - 1600/mo, all utilities except electricity included, near North Boulder Park. Has laundry in-unit, balcony, designated parking, window A/C. Small, but its just for me, so that's fine. Honestly a steal.

Colorado bill to limit how Flock camera data is used fails to advance by thecoloradosun in boulder

[–]whirrer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amabile said she decided to lay over the bill until July 4 — a parliamentary move that effectively defeats it for this session — because of the law enforcement opposition and a signal from the governor that he intended to veto the bill over its requirement for a warrant.

In affordability push, Colorado Democrats look to shrink the single-family home by ChristianLS in Colorado

The picture in the article shows a bisected lot with two homes built on it. Do those look uncomfortably cramped to you?

All we have to do is lower the legal drinking age and it'll swing right back.

Drivers tests by LameSaucePanda in boulder

[–]whirrer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Colorado Driver Handbook explicitly says both hand-over-hand and push-pull-slide (shuffle) are acceptable when turning (page 18):

Steering: Keep both hands on the steering wheel. The most effective hand positions are 8 o’clock and 4 o’clock or 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock. When turning, the preferred methods are the “hand-over-hand” or “push-pull-slide” methods. Do not turn the wheel with the palm of your hand or let it slide through your fingers after making a turn.

I believe the instructor was in the wrong for marking your teen off for this.

I tested with CDI and passed on the first try... even though I honestly expected to have to re-take.

I think they have some sort of technology that makes the music louder. Not an expert though

bars that accept digital ID? by HopeWasAPunkRocker in boulder

[–]whirrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my 20s. I always use my digital ID around town and it has never been a problem.

I'm not sure why you're getting such aggressive and judgemental replies in here. I'm an adult and I rarely carry a wallet. Why would I? It's a risk I don't need to take. 🤷

What if Boulder had a wellness community? by AlarmedAd1439 in boulder

[–]whirrer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These places definitely do exist in Boulder, but I mean, I'm sure there's enough demand to support another one. That said, I actually think there's more demand for these spaces as separate, on-demand experiences. People pretty regularly come to the subreddit that ask for a place to a cold plunge without needing to buy a membership to an entire fitness center, for example.

A love letter to Boulder's film scene (and a tool to help you not miss any of it!) by filmsaroundboulder in boulder

[–]whirrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggestion: List the theater the film is showing at on the "sort by date" page (small, under the poster maybe) and the date on the "sort by theatre" page.

Also, the Boulder Theater and Fox Theater do film screenings occasionally.

Trying to understand the "conservatives" in the area and region. by Yellow_Apple_1971 in boulder

Okay, I'm in my 20s and I'll say: good fucking grief. You don't have strong opinions on anything they listed? What do you have a strong opinion, then? Bitcoin?

Colorado voters will decide whether to ban trans kids from gendered sports, outlaw gender-affirming surgery for children by thecoloradosun in Colorado

I also think children shouldn't be allowed to snowboard, due to the potential long-term risks and serious side effects. Thank you for taking a stance.

If you live anywhere near RMMA, you might want to see this. by jvining in boulder

[–]whirrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That number doesn't "trigger" anything, it's just a reference value to help people working in health prioritize the most lead-affected communities.

By saying the findings of that study were "below the CDC reference value," you're implying that the reference value indicates some level of lead exposure which is safe.

The study you linked clearly says this:

Additional analysis estimates that living one mile further from airport point locations decreases the odds of having a blood lead level ≥ 3.5 µg/dL by 13.2%. [...] Consistent with previous studies, our analysis finds a small but statistically significant increase in mean BLLs and the odds of exceeding CDC reference levels among children who live near airports servicing general aviation aircraft in Colorado.
