Denver was two cities - Auraria (correction from Aurora thanks to @negativenull) and Denver. One was built to align with the river, the other with compass points and then they grew big enough to smush into each other and neither was willing to concede to the other.
Also Denver’s namesake, a Kansas politician, never even visited. It was a failed attempt to lure him here.
I feel like hella was the west coast version of wicked.
Grody to the max.
I seem to recall hearing Brennan Lee Mulligan saying it quite a bit in Dimension 20 and it made me giggle.

Third Rock Radio - new music and NASA project updates combined!
ETA: They have actual (non-annoying) DJs and no commercials.
I don’t know what Geoguesser is, but now I’m curious.
Watch out for common-law marriage statutes. A friend of mine got bitten by those - even worse actually because there was no prenup - it just “happened” because of how long they were together.
Is it tricky? English is my first language and it doesn’t seem difficult to me, but I never gave it much thought. So fascinating.
Or a French person.
My dog liked to roll his around and get treats out of it.
It’s hard to explain, but there’s a different vibe / rhythm to it than educating yourself. Like maybe it’s more pained because I’m trying to find the absolute cheapest, and figuring out if I can afford the larger quantity that’s actually cheaper by weight, but will eat up more of my immediate budget, but will last me longer. So maybe it’s more like picking up the same type of pasta but in two different sizes and looking at other items in my cart and trying to figure out what else I desperately need to determine if I can afford the $0.75 more for the better value.
If you see them in the aisle and they pick up and put down similar products and are carefully looking at prices and quantity for comparison shopping. Perhaps carrying coupons. Adding up items in their cart and possibly setting things aside (even if just in the top basket) to see what they can afford before committing. Buying a number of inexpensive basics - lentils, cheap ramen, items from the “we’re ugly” vegetable bin (that’s what they call it at my store). Perhaps someone who is clearly juggling kids, and is stressed and overloaded while trying to focus on figuring out what to buy.
None of these are “guarantees,” but just some ideas.
Wow. I have SO much respect for that reporter. EVERY reporter should take a lesson from him. Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow - I never knew that! I’m glad to hear the social programs exist, but still… yikes!
More kids died young too, so they had to have spares.
Playing my dobro or basses. Really, making music of just about any sort.
Exactly the same here. Even started making my own bread. So much better than store bought anyway!
I feel kinda bad for small local businesses and restaurants, but I just don’t trust the economy to spend anything discretionary right now.
OMG thank you - brain fart on my part!
