There was some kind of sled that got brought to Copper about 20 years ago. If I remember, it had runners that allowed some form of control based on how you lean, like a flexible skeleton sled kinda, and they also had a leash. They were trying to see if they could get approved to allow them on the mountain.

So a few of the LiftOps supervisors took them up Flyer, which was the lift I worked. I was at the top when they got off. I thought it was the stupidest idea ever but lifties are often psychotic.

I remember just seeing them launch off the lip of the road and then disappeared. Never heard anything else about them. I think one of them got hurt.

No it's not true. This is some kind of urban legend that Texans tell each other after they get back from a ski trip.

I've described it before as like a symphony, so you've got it right. The building tension is what makes it so different, and there's no time limit, so even though things can feel slow, the tension still builds, and you have no idea when it will climax.

Also, he chose the Angels because they were gonna let him play both ways.

Holy shit dude. You're unstable.

The most common cause of death is common? What a revelation!

The humidity gets trapped inside the giant flying balls of ice.

Coming next year to a field near you, bamboo turf!

Right, the title says LMWH and I'm wondering if they should have just said enoxaparin. Is LMWH and enoxaparin the same thing?

They say heparin, but is enoxaparin/lovenox the more specific name?

So instead of daily injections you could take low dose aspirin instead?

My wife is not going to be happy about the timing of this news (pregnant and taking lovenox.)

Would people with type 1 diabetes be more likely to have a generally poor lifestyle, because they have diabetes?

I also recall reading a study about adding a simple solution of table salt and water to fabrics that improves effectiveness. Not sure if I'll be able to find it before someone else.

> Cities from suburbs and metropolitan areas, are mapped to the “main” city (e.g. Oakland to San Francisco)

Oakland: 10
San Francisco: 9

Just wanted to point that out.

I've used windy.com for some time and I'd say it's pretty kick ass for free.

weather.gov is where I'll often go for extra discussion, and there is an API they provide. I used it to build a very generic 10-day forecast grid for a specific station, and it's mostly functional (sometimes responses come back empty). Weather.gov is fine, but they could definitely use a fresh update on the frontend.

I'm sure it was somewhere on Reddit that I saw Accuweather, et al want the NWS privatized or some shit so they can put a paywall between them and forecast data/discussions. Of course being a loyal redditor I didn't look anything else up or verify the claim, so I have to assume it's true.

What is so expensive? The device used where I live simply has a sensor that will change the lights based on an infrared code signaled to it by an emergency vehicle. Like a fancy remote control.

We do still have some puritan shit in Colorado regarding booze. Namely that you can't sell it on Christmas.

> but I haven't really heard or seen anything about it since I read about it in like a scientific american or something some 20 years ago.

There are plans to convert a retiring coal plant in Colorado to salt storage:

https://www.cpr.org/2021/09/07/hayden-generating-station-coal-plant-could-become-a-massive-battery-for-renewable-energy/

The coal plant has two units that will retire in 2027 and 2028.

Likewise, with something like Populus deltoides ssp monilifera there will be one to a few massive trees that stand alone in an area, or maybe a long line of them following a water channel. Trunk size can get very big, up to and sometimes over 10' in diameter. Two of these trees in a single acre would put them beyond the top of the scale being used.

Now looking at the graphic, the eastern front of the Rockies and down into Nebraska, Kansas, etc, the color is basically showing "zero fall color" and that just doesn't really jive with reality.

Yes, it's not a dense forest with many different species, but I am not sure why the shouldn't be included in something showing "fall color" because even standing alone they can be incredibly dramatic.

For Example

Including the state borders would be really helpful in determining which dot refers to which city.
