Case in point:

I guess New Mexico is alright…

Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…

Like others have said, Red Rocks is a big part of it, but Colorado is also a bit of an island of civilization in the western part of the country. We’re surrounded by Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Utah - which probably aren’t the states you think of first when you think of budding metropolises. So lots of events are held in Colorado that attract people from neighboring states.

Also, Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world since we’re a huge connection hub to the rest of the country. So it’s very easy to travel here.

On a somewhat related note, Crime Scene Cleaner is such an oddly relaxing, thought a bit gruesome, game.

Didn’t they actually have people in robot costumes previously though?

“Alright, let’s turn on the AI Mega-Thinker 3000 ^TM and see what it says about solving climate change.”

INVEST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY AND OVERTHROW THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS

“…well that can’t be right.”

I watched The Wire way too late in life. I watched it last year and my wife couldn’t get into it because of the old technology, but fuuuuuck was it good.

And then once you finish it, you can watch Breaking Bad again. Then El Camino. Then loop back around the Better Call Saul again. And once you’re done, you can watch Breaking Bad again…

The thing that’s so great about Mr. Robot is that it ends perfectly. You can tell the show writers decided exactly what story they wanted to tell and then executed on that plan. They didn’t just meander about and eventually land on a half-assed ending once the show’s budget dried up.

Pronounced like the G in “gif”, I presume.

I’d really like that Lovense machine to boof my clacker

I’m a native English speaker and I still had to Google three words in that sentence.

Get a practice lock that you can re-pin. They’re cool so you can see what it’s like to have spools or serrated pins. I messed with one for a while and then was like “I wonder how much harder it would be to pick my front door lock instead of this cheap practice lock?” Turns out, the front door lock is ridiculously easy compared to a practice lock.

The drone operators video in the article explicitly calls out the commander for being corrupt, misreporting the situation on the ground, having Western contacts that he’s working with, and being involved in narco-trafficking.

I feel bad for the drone operator who was sent to his death for a shitty cause, but if the Russian commanders are like that, that’s a win for the good guys in my book.

There are videos of people reacting to hearing Megadeth’s Holy Wars… the Punishment Due for the first time. I enjoy the song, but I first heard it when I was probably like 10 and don’t really remember the first time. Would be fun to hear it with a fresh pair of ears.

That was a really fun book to listen to. He narrates the second one as well, but it didn’t capture lightning in a bottle the same way.

Exactly. I provide food, shelter, catbox cleaning, pets, toys, scratching posts, etc.

They provide a soft rumbling sound.

It’s a fair trade.

Nice to meet you, I’m George.

…welp, I gave it a shot.

Probably shouldn’t mention that if you get asked about how you got started at your kid’s school career day.

Have your read 11/22/63? It’s Stephen King 's take on what would happen if a time traveler tries to stop the JFK assassination.

Great book, in my opinion.

Lol I think we’re around the same age. Definitely too young for evil clown Tim Curry.
