Also a related thought from a recent MBMBAM: when Rip gets demoted to ranch hand, there should’ve been a scene where he has to masturbate a horse, and someone says, “I’ve heard of Jack the Ripper, but not Rip the Jacker!”
I assume the answer is "yes", but...
One of the pleasant surprises from this week's Odyssey ticket sales is that my local Denver theater (Regal UA Colorado Center) is getting a 70mm IMAX print. I had always heard that this theater had a 70mm projector, but it had been sitting unused for years, with its last use supposedly being Interstellar in 2014. I think I've seen reference to a few other theaters in the same situation, with an unused projector being brought out of retirement for The Odyssey.
So my question is, does the IMAX company do some kind of quality check on these unused projectors before they're put back into use? I'm sure we all know how crummy dated and poorly maintained film projection can look, but I have to imagine IMAX would want to ensure top quality for a big release like this.
I live near the Santa Fe Yards site where this stadium will go, and it recently occurred to me that I haven't seen any sign of... anything happening there. I was under the impression that everything had approval, and the next step would be the environmental mitigation of the site that the city is paying for. But I can't find any recent news on the stadium, just about their Centennial practice site being delayed.
So - anyone in the know have any idea what's happening with the new stadium site?
My neighbor's house is up for sale, and there is an issue on their property I feel that any potential buyers should know about, since it affects my property as well. I was thinking that if it goes under contract, I could contact the buyer's agent, and suggest they try to get a concession from the seller to fix this issue. (Context if you're curious.)
Is it possible to find out who the buyer or buyer's agent are once it goes under contract? I was thinking that the contract is a legal document containing that info, and it must end up filed somewhere, but I don't know if that information is accessible to the public until the sale has been closed.
For what it's worth, I'm in Denver, CO.
I've seen a few posts about similar topics, but I feel like this situation is unique...
The power line from the alley pole to my house crosses diagonally over my neighbor's back yard. On their property is a tree, and it has dead branches which hang down and touch my power line above their property. So both the tree and the point of contact are fully within my neighbor's back yard.
Whose responsibility is it to cut these dead branches so that they no longer touch my power line? (I called Xcel, but since it's the service line from the pole to my house, it's not their responsibility.)
The house was recently bought and renovated by some flippers who trimmed some of the tree but did not care enough to do anything about that. So when it sells, I'd like to bring this up with the new owners, but I'm wondering whose responsibility this actually is.
(A sneaky thought I had was, when it goes under contract, I contact the buyers and suggest they demand a seller concession to cut those branches, as it's a fire hazard to the property.)
Within the settings of the app itself, the smart compose/reply settings are disabled.
Following other instructions I’ve found, in a desktop web browser, in Gmail settings, I’ve already disabled all of the smart features, and I’ve disabled the Workspace smart features.
I don’t see any smart compose prompts on desktop, but I still see the prompts in the iOS app.
Denver Library doesn't have any physical or ebook copies available, with a fairly long waitlist, and I'm kind of a slow reader for those lending times anyway. So I figured I'd ask if anyone either a) has a copy I can borrow/have or b) knows of a copy sitting in a used book store? (If (a), I can pick it up and/or you can dead-drop it in a Little Free Library.)
Sure, I could spend all of $4 for a Kindle copy, but I figured I'd try to avoid giving money to an evil website or to the family of a guy who apparently became a right-wing Islamophobe.
(Follow up question: would this be a good idea for a subreddit, where people can post "I'm looking for this book" and someone with a spare copy can give it to them?)
They come from local area codes, always like “hey this is Jimbo, we’re trimming trees in your area this week, do you need any work done?” Never the same phone #, so block/report spam doesn’t help.
What’s really weird is that the texts reference my actual home address *and* they’re sent to my actual cell phone # which has an out-of-state area code. I’m usually pretty good about not giving out my real cell # to untrusted places - those get my Google Voice # (which has an area code from yet another state).
So somewhere out there is a database linking people’s real cell phone numbers to their real home addresses that somehow got in the hands of whatever company is sending these texts.
