Colorado Vacation Destinations - Not Quite So Crowded, But Still Cool
Estes, Hidden Valley, and Red Feather Lakes (CC/snowshoeing) are close. Eldora is actually convenient for NoCo residents, but that's about it.

Indoor/outdoor wireless speaker system
Wired speakers or amplified solo speakers with a bluetooth connection? This seems gimmicky and I'm not sure they can be paired into zones, but here's one cheaper example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/SVOPES-2-Piece-6-5-in-Bluetooth-Ceiling-Speakers-150-W-Flush-Mount-8-Impedance-89-dB-Sensitivity-for-Home-Kitchen-DPXDYSQ65YCLOVPZAV1-V1225/334261676?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&srsltid=AfmBOopaWTixyht-3EWX6nDxwdK2kO8sFyHNP-jHXv311uwQIb1cWLmyRko https://www.homedepot.com/p/VEVOR-4-Pieces-6-5-in-Bluetooth-in-Ceiling-Speakers-150-Watt-Flush-Mount-Ceiling-In-Wall-Speaker-w-8-Impedance-for-Home-DPXDYSQ65YCSYB22LV1/331250362?MERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-334261676-_-0-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a Wired speakers are all I have experience with and I can't recommend Sonos because of the way they borked their early adopters with forced obsolescense, poor software design, and privacy concerns. Spotify Connect native is a huge benefit if you're a Premium subscriber. It allows for direct speaker connection and control via your Spotify app or player on the same network. My home is all Bose SoundTouch with a mix of SVS in the theater and Ubiquiti for the network, so I feel comfortable recommending these three: https://www.bose.com/p/speakers/bose-music-amplifier/MUAMP-AMPLIFIER.html?srsltid=AfmBOop4IuYq0JucDg_t9sIoiUKYPL4F1ZpTyanDGKhBTiW5ycnXexxN https://www.svsound.com/products/prime-wireless-pro-soundbase?srsltid=AfmBOoqQOsZpQz18O6wd7WTOfTbTfUcX-bD2JhmW4tfEvZ14Zd6vU7jW https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/upl-amp

I'm watching this on Severe Studios with Radarscope on another screen. Definitely see a debris ball from the Northridge neighborhood as this tornado heads for Lubbock Christian University. It's been riding eastward on 114 from Reese Center.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread

Who knew Elon was the trojan horse we actually needed? Called for Trump to be impeached and Vance to replace him - which was probably the actual plan. Plus, he likely stole so much data that he has alllll the dirt.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread

Fuck off, I'm willing to give up a 2.8% to get out of Texas and the math ain't mathing. Tell me when I regain my sanity, if doubling my mortgage coupon for a similar appraised house makes sense.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Can't put the toothpaste back after the Fed bought $2.3T in MBS, while PPP targeted $500B at business owners so they can further inflate asset prices (equities, Lambos, AirBnBs). $4.6T was firehosed into the economy and everybody is gaslighting us about how inflation works. Now nearly 40% of homeowners have no mortgage at all, so that home price isn't going to move much to appeal to affordability.- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread

Good suggestions, I've researched these and you're on the right track.- The New Car Fanatic Thread
FUUUUUUU I didn't want to hear that. I feel like it's doable along the Front Range, just that the wind is fierce, and you'd better have a plan for summer pop-up storms. I've got a buddy in Denver with an older Z car who drives open air as often as he can, but of course I only see his driving pics in the summer months.- The New Car Fanatic Thread
I'm gonna let this one marinate over the weekend as a multi-part post/response, just to see what ideas y'all come up with that I haven't considered. I don't drive my S6 any longer and hate that I've sorta lost interest in the car, with a boatload of OEM RS and aftermarket parts sitting in the garage to get silly with. Since the original turbos haven't been lifted it yet, I thought this might be the right time to list it on Bring-a-Trailer, as a couple other similarly-modded cars sold well on the site lately. The proceeds will go toward a fun, perhaps smaller car. My 'daily' is a Rivian R1T, so I have the utility part figured out. It's a quad-motor, 835hp unit, and is kind of silly on the street too. I'm looking for ideas on something fun I'll want to keep in the garage for a while. Requirements as follows: New or used. If preowned, prefer a modern powertrain with direct injection that's tune-able Budget of $75-$80k Manual transmission only GT, sports coupe or roadster format Offers some form of open-air driving RWD or AWD Something that feels 'special' to have in the garage, that makes you look forward to free time for a drive At first, only two cars came to mind, both with V8s, but that has since changed completely. Let's see what you'd pick.- The Surly Budget Wine Go To List

Love the Ranger Raptor... that was the second truck on my list and a strong contender until I bought my Rivian R1T. Now the Rivian does everything I could ask it to. - Israel vs everyone war thread
