I got their super soft and squishy gummy bears and they are delicious. Apparently they are rebranded Albanese, they have a tiny ‘A’ on their bellies.

Standstill on the toll road today between I-25 and Quebec. People were driving backwards on the shoulder to take the York exit.

Anyone else get caught in that this morning?

Aside from the fact it was a zoom meeting of almost 100 people mostly over 60, it was alright.

I should edit my title: What sort of personal demons drive a person to participate in party politics?

I have Comcast, but my deal for the last two years recently ended just in time for me to also start having hour+ long outages multiple times per week. I'm curious about my options, and specifically I wonder how viable wireless options like Verizon or T-Mobile are. Are the speeds consistent (and high) enough for video conference? Video streaming? I don't really game so I don't think latency is that important for me.

I live in the Cheesman/Cap Hill area and have one of those hideous green Verizon 5g poles right outside my building, but the eligibility checker on Verizon's site thinks it may not be in range for me somehow so I wonder how fragile it is.

I have Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) with no issues at home but I guess I'm not really stressing the throughput on my phone.

Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure formed a committee to “review and refine Sidewalk Ordinance 307,” according to a statement from the agency. The group has been meeting twice a month since August to hammer out the finer details of the ordinance.

Now, the committee is proposing three big changes to the ordinance to address community concerns over high fee assessments and how they might affect lower-income homeowners, how the measure conforms to the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), and to make sure DOTI can implement a working program to build, fix and repair sidewalks throughout the city.

This is kind of a specific question and I didn’t think any of the local magazine “best bakery” lists would make it easy to find.

Do you have a favorite cinnamon roll in Denver? The first two places that make them that come to mind are Izzio and Right Cream (on the weekend). Izzio’s is tasty but way too soft and fluffy. I need my rolls to have a bit more bite to them.

Is it just me, or are those hockey sticks?

Hopefully this isn't too far out of range. There's a special vibe to those Waffle Houses along I-25.

Pretty much title. I haven't had cable in a decade, and I'm not really a sports person, so I'd really rather not have to sign up for some sports streaming package, but I do kinda like watching Avs games. A friend asked me why I didn't just get an antenna to watch the games, but the broadcast TV page on the Denver Post doesn't look like they actually carry Avs games. Just wondering if I missed something.

Gotta love the "or more." So, we really don't know.
