Need an AC unit?

We are getting ready to move and I have a fairly large (21wx15h) window AC unit that we don't need at the new house. It is a little older but we've kept it clean and we clean it thoroughly every year. It works great, we're moving out of a 1970s ranch style and it keeps at least half of the house cool in the summer.

If you could use one it's completely free, just have to pick it next week sometime preferably (might be able to flex that up through the end of the month if next week absolutely won't work), I'll just set it out for you at the old house (anonymous pickup).

You can message me. Admin, hope this is okay. As we were preparing to move I kept thinking I was going to go back into the Fort Collins sub and find someone that had talked about how hot it was over the summer and didn't have ac and offer it to them but then I couldn't find any of the ones I had read earlier this summer. I know it would go quick on Facebook or Craigslist but if I can get it to somebody who needs it in here that would be great. ❤️

Trickiest coding situation

Passed courses in 2024 through a state grant but then it ran out the last semester (internship) 🤦‍♀️ so never obtained my certification. Started going back through the books during packing and most of it came back to me, surprised it's still in there! I did well with the courses, averaging above 90.

I remember the teachers would have example scenarios where the coding was tricky, seemed like one thing but was another, and I was trying to explain to my spouse that said AI will take it all over (not worth the money to do the courses and training anymore) how coding is not black and white and requires understanding nuance. Something AI still isn't great at. Wondering if anyone has stories that can validate this, personally still wondering if I should finish the work and get certified at some point (even if the job field is tough), but honestly trying to explain how human coders are still needed to my spouse is kind of difficult.

Throat cancer in dogs

It's an uncommon cancer so I'm having problems finding other dogs that have throat cancer (general terms, is not been biopsied yet to determine the exact type) and just wanted to hear the experiences the dogs had.

Right now my 13 year old Yorkie is on prednisone, labs look great but he's ravenous all the time. Food has to be cut into tiny pieces but other than that you can't tell he's sick. It was found incidentally during a physical exam.

So just looking for any stories from other pet owners, including how you dealt with steroids if the pet was on them, treatments, and how you knew it was time (I won't let him suffer, right now he has high QOL, just wondering for others). Thank you.

13 year old male Yorkie, spayed, backyard breeder dog with some issues that come with poor breeding, we are his second home. He's been with us since he was 4.

Synthetic oil change

Curious to know what other people are paying for a full synthetic oil change in town. The last couple times I've gone it's been over $100 and maybe that's just what it is this last year but wanted to see what others were paying.

2022 Hyundai Tucson

Places I've been: Admiral, Big Brand

eta - I know that it would be cheaper to do it myself or have someone else do it for me but I'm looking to just take it somewhere, thank you.

Focal aware seizures preceded bye muscle rigidity

My 19 year old son started having focal aware seizures with ​strong emotions last year. He will be having his EMU stay end of September.

Staying aware during a seizure is already uncommon, at least what the doctors have told us, but he has another feature to his seizures that I'm wondering if anyone else has. His extremities prior to a seizure go rigid and draw inward. His feet tense up and draw towards his calves, his hands will draw in towards his chest and, before things escalated, that would be as far as it would go besides the overwhelming sad feelings and crying and eventually that would go awayafter several minutes of laying back and trying to get him to relax as we thought they were panic attacks. I didn't realize what was going on then and we were waiting to see neurology.

Luckily Zonisamide has helped and he hasn't had another one in a while but the thing with being aware and then the muscles tensing up on top of all the other neurological things he's had going is stumping the doctors. And perhaps it's part of these kind of seizures but the doctors act as though they were a normal presentation.

He has a lot of other things so but I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced that before. Thank you
