Lol I had a similar moment years ago at a demonstration of antique mining equipment and steam engines. It was mostly children, with a few clearly neurospicy adults. If you're ever in Colorado Springs, CO, check out the Mining Museum. They have lots of GIANT MACHINES AND STRUCTURES.

Somehow I've tricked instagram into giving me ads for the most irrelevant products, like this company that sells labels to grocery stores or something:

I'm only on instagram because my co-hosts (and a few other leftist content creators we know) are on there. So most of my feed is leftist memes, anti-genocide memes (until those accounts get banned), car memes, and cat pics. But yeah as soon as the algorithm runs out of that, it starts showing me really dumb facebook level bullshit.

WTF is this guy on about, Colorado's governor is a zionist, half the state's economy is reliant on the military-industrial complex, and the cops are eager to beat and jail protestors who speak out against it.

Lol Golda Meir also lived in Denver

Yeah I know someone who recently started posting stuff like this and it's really sad. And baffling, since he's a white American.

Our podcast gets a lot of downloads from the DC area, and we mostly just talk about shitty old cars

I live in Colorado and used to go skiing a couple times every year as a kid (ie, when my parents were paying for it). It's pretty fun to go sliding down a scenic mountain at 30 mph, and it's rewarding to learn and get better. But now that I'm an adult I've decided that it's not really worth it to wake up early on a weekend, drive 2+ hours, freeze my ass off, spend a lot of money, and possibly hurt myself. Speaking of, you definitely want a helmet if you don't want to end up like Sonny Bono.

There are a few smaller and cheaper ski slopes that aren't crowded with rich tourists, but they're the exception. I've run into plenty of rich dickheads on the slopes, and lots of loud obnoxious Texans dressed fully in Cowboys gear.

She went to high school with Nick Roman from Regular Car Reviews and iirc they were in a production of The Sound of Music together

I live in the Denver area and make about $30 per hour and at 40 hours per week it's enough to afford my own place, but I'm not living in luxury by any means. Rent and other living expenses are pretty high here.

My understanding is that the Casa Bonita workers aren't able to get full time hours because the restaurant isn't fully open yet.

One step closer to having street-legal bumper cars

I would download so many cars
