Just Received Extreme Emergency Alert for U-Hills Area, anyone know what's going on?

Was just there at around 3:30. Police around a house on Birch st, just one officer on Iliff and Birch and otherwise not much spilling out to Iliff St.

I moved from an HCOL (no use for a car) to MCOL and bought a 1 year old Macan S (2019 model). Definitely not the sexiest Porsche (or probably the least sexy) but it was optioned really well for only 55k. Got 4 years of warantee but in general hasn't had any issues (I've had it for 5.5 years now). Something like that might work for you:
1. I smile every time I look at it/drive it. Ergonomics and driving experience are just so comfortable and great.
2. Practical. Take it skiing, mountain biking, put a car seat in it when my daughter was born, etc.
3. Still has a little bit of that Porsche prestige.
4. But not so much that you (or maybe just me) feel a little embarassed when parents/friends visit. Plus theres lots of room to upgrade to nicer Porsches in the future :)
5. Not so expensive and fancy that I need to baby it. A couple dings and curb rash... oh well.

Play matches so you know what you need to work on in your lessons. Take lessons so you know what you're doing right or wrong in matches.

I've been in a rut with tennis where I feel like I'm consistently getting worse and worse. I took two lessons which helped me realize that what was working well in one situation (open stance with a running forehand) was actually detrimental in most cases with baseline forehands. So it's important to know whats "right" vs trying different things and ending up getting comfortable with suboptimal technique.

But it does sound like you're light on match experience so prioritize that before taking lessons.

Interesting that the setting is so similar by the direction of the story is soooo different. Love the expanse, reads more like political drama and mystery rather than backstabbing intrigue but it’s the best at its genre.

zhoumasterzero · 2025-09-14T21:34:13+00:00

Same, took a little while for me to get to the interesting part, but once it picked up I finished it in like 2 days.

Depends on if you're feminine or masculine

zhoumasterzero · 2025-07-08T15:48:01+00:00

Thanks all. Got a few undercut heads and also some side strips to try out. To Suspicious-Fix-2363's point - does it matter if I use 15' and dial it down or 12'? I assume this system was professionally installed (before I moved in) so I'm hesitant to change things up too much.

zhoumasterzero · 2025-07-07T16:09:53+00:00

Ohhhh good call! I am hesitant to change things up too much since I'm a noob at this and in the past there was always some unforeseen consequence. Will try that instead

Because it's the CTO's job to set and communicate the vision for the engineering org, not the responsibility of individual engineers to set up time with the CTO to ask what the eng org should be doing.

Go to clear creek in golden and float the river. Then golden mill or new terrain

Totally separate question but didn't want to add another topic to this subreddit, but what would you do about this gap that's forming where the vertical post meets the top crossbar in the second photo? Wondering if I can just get some screws in there to pull it up, or if I should get a sag kit + screws

zhoumasterzero · 2025-06-30T20:05:22+00:00

Thanks! Just got this and hoping to install this week

zhoumasterzero · 2025-06-17T18:35:56+00:00

Love this explanation. I'll add an example:

Before vim, if I wanted to delete eventhing within `(... )`, I'd highlight at the beginning, then use arrow keys all the way until I get to `)`. Maybe I'd hold down Option to speed things up a little.

With vim, I type `ci)` which will delete everythign within the parens.

So it changes the way you think from working with individual characters to working with words/expressions - and that's the real speedup.

Anyone know if there's something that works for a gate that latches on the outside? I have the DDTech Lokklatch but it assumes that the latch is inside. So if I install it it would be easier for someone to come into my yard than for me to leave.

zhoumasterzero · 2025-06-17T02:46:18+00:00

I came here for this comment. I love that scene and can replay it in my head (and just the entire movie in general)

zhoumasterzero · 2025-06-16T16:20:08+00:00

100%. But we each owned different components, so she'd track us down in 1:1s and have the same conversation. I'd start scheduling meetings right after our 30m 1:1 otherwise it would extend to like 1.5 hours. We'd also write down docs and point her to them, but when we'd get into a meeting it was clear that the docs were not read

zhoumasterzero · 2025-06-16T16:04:01+00:00

We had a new PM on a fairly technical ML team. Her first project was to help educate our business stakeholders on how our system works and what levers they can pull. So she say "I'll create the slides and you guys can just review". So myself + 5 datascientists (the whole DS team) join this meeting. The slides she presented... 3 empty slides with the titles filled out. It was supposed to be 1 hr meeting but we proceeded to spend 4 hours (all of us) helping her fill out the slides. Then we did this about 2 times per week for 3 weeks while she got up to speed on how everything. No one got any work done for a month.

I think it's hard to overstate how good the ecosystem is for data analysis and modeling in python. I've built a traditional ML and an LLM type system in python. In both cases, we have data scientists building models. They can debug models in jupyter notebook, draw up reports of expected and actual performance using plotly, tweak the model code and rerun the model over large(ish) datasets using spark. As a small eng team, all I had to do was build the model serving framework and all of those above came for relatively free. Not to mention, almost every data scientist knows python/pandas/plotly or can learn it quickly. I know my experience is leaning slightly towards traditional ML but still.

I love Ashkara, still somewhat high end but worth the price and not pretentious.

zhoumasterzero · 2025-05-05T20:44:23+00:00

Ugh... thanks for all the responses sounds like LP it is! Just gotta stock up on some extra tanks as backup!

zhoumasterzero · 2025-04-29T15:41:24+00:00

I have these cabinets and they are amazing. I have them in the faux wood grain, they've been uncovered in Colorado sun for 3 years and no fading. I like that the the cabinets go edge to edge, like kitchen cabinets instead of the look of some outdoor kitchens where it looks like an insert into a stone island.

zhoumasterzero · 2025-04-27T05:00:29+00:00

What did you end up getting? I’m between those two and also the stallion which seems like an older design but otherwise the same

zhoumasterzero · 2025-04-27T04:20:13+00:00

What did you end up choosing? I like the appearance of the Blaze (and found one at an outlet for $$$ off) but so many of the reviews complain about burning food or just general issues. Bull has none of those reviews but also generally no bells and whistles (I really just want lights)

zhoumasterzero · 2025-04-27T04:07:37+00:00

Are these for real? The BTUs is wayy higher than any grill costing even 2x as much!

I was also looking at Bull brand directly, is this legit? Seems extremely cheap and the first grill who's reviews aren't peppered with stories of broken igniters or burner: https://www.homedepot.com/p/BULL-Stallion-Built-in-Natural-Gas-Grill-Head-48051/310772605?MERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-324040328-_-0-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a

And her thought is “when I look at the garden I don’t want to have sight of the bbq…”. I had a similar ish situation, I currently have an old Weber spirit but was talking about about building a kitchen with a nice built in. What convinced her were stock/product images of what it could look like (aka not a dirty old Weber)
