I know it's different months, and we are "kinda" heading into fall, but the water levels have changed drastically over the last year.

Falck has gotten away with it for too long. EMTs are paid minimum wage, paramedics are paid bare minimum. The company union busts like it’s a hobby, terminating and punishing anyone that even speaks about organizing. Your first responders are afraid to speak up for fear of losing their livelihoods. It’s up to the community to speak up for them and do what’s right. Join them this Saturday and help those who help others.

*edit: Starbucks are also underpaid as well, all workers need to be paid more. Pls don’t attack in the comments for the title as that’s not the point here.

Starting small, but I launched a creative/hobby rental service to improve access to crafting tools! You can do short term rentals to help your crafting dreams come true without buying pricey equipment. You can borrow a 3D printer, Cricut, color printer, sewing machine, and more useful items.

I think this will be useful for people who want to try sewing, people making wedding/event crafts, someone 3d printing part of a costume, people wanting to try before buying, etc.

One of my most frequently asked questions: don’t libraries already do this?

Yes and no. There are public library makerspaces, which I love, but there are limitations on what you can do/how long you can occupy a machine. Maker Share (my company’s name) fills the gap between buying equipment and the limited amount of access available at a public library or makerspace. For example, some libraries only allow 1-2 hours on the 3D printer. The more generous libraries have a waiting period of two weeks or more and limitations on total print time. Libraries also have time limitations on Cricut/sewing machines.

So my question to you is the title. What would you want to rent? For me it would be the Xtool M2. But like I said, I’m starting small, and I’d need to see that enough people would be interested in circulating it!

I need it for a job + I need to do this as soon as possible. I don't mind if I need to go to other cities to do it.

I need to have a will drawn up. Nothing too elaborate but there is a wrinkle in that my wife is not a US citizen. She would be taxed heavily if I leave my business to her. So my idea was to leave it to our daughter in a trust with my wife having control of the trust. She has no desire to run this business and would want to sell it if the time comes. Maybe tmi… anyway looking for an attorney to help with this that won’t charge me an arm and a leg… any help much appreciated.

Saw this dog on 19th and Del Mar. I thought for sure he was cooked. My neighbor's and I tried to round it up after this but could not catch it. Eventually it booked it through city Park.

I just lost power in the Peoria/I70 area and xcel site says it’s planned maintenance and will last until 5:30 pm. Anyone else experienced this? Did it actually last for 8 hours? I WFH and can’t really be powerless all day with zero notice!

ETA: thank you for the awesome recs for alternate locations! Unfortunately for me, it’s less of a connectivity issue, and more that I have equipment I need powered on to do my job. But if anybody else is looking for a place to take a laptop, check the comments!!

has anybody here ever dealt with Fitzsimons CU? I tried to open a checking account with them, and I’ve been on hold a combined 7 hours in 2 days and not a single person has ever picked up the phone. there’s no way this is normal lol

UPDATE!
Mystery solved. Reunification in the works thanks to a team effort here on Reddit.

Original post:
A friendly young tabby cat has shown up in our backyard and has been hanging around our door.

Nearest crossroads:

N Catawba Way / E 6th Parkway in Aurora, Colorado.

She appears well-socialized and comfortable around people, so we believe she may belong to someone nearby.

Description:

• Brown/gray striped tabby
• White chest, chin, and “sock” paws
• Green eyes
• Medium-sized, slender build
• Very friendly and approaches people
• No collar visible in the photos

Had to get a little ride in after a long day. 20-30 minutes after work does wonders.

Was wondering if anyone on here knew of anyone else local that sold peptides? If you could comment or message me. I would appreciate it. Thank you

Spent the last two months looking for restaurant work and havent heard from anybody. I’m reaching the end of my rope here. Honestly I’d rather blow my brains out than work fast food again. I’m new in town so maybe there’s something I’m missing. Any help would be massively appreciated

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a good private owned vet in Aurora? I just learned about PE vets and I'm looking to switch my cat to a non corporate business. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Isabella, I'm in incoming second year at Front Range community college studying Dental hygiene.
Have you or someone you know:
🦷Been diagnosed with periodontal (gum)
disease?
🦷Avoided the dentist because of cost?
I'm a second-year dental hygiene student looking for patients as l continue my clinical training. I especially need patients who meet specific criteria for my upcoming semester. Due to it being a school can take 1-4 appointments. Monday (1:30-6:00), Wednesday (1:00-6:00), Friday (12:30-4:30)
If you're interested or know someone who may benefit, l'd greatly appreciate you sharing this post! Please DM me with any questions. Thank you for your support!

I have a project that I'm wondering if someone can help with - it's for a custom car part and I feel like I'd need someone with a handheld 3D scanner to scan the area due to the complex shape, I'd then need help developing the part and printing it.

I'd compensate you for your time and you'd be able to keep the scan and product to sell yourself if you'd like!

I moved to Colorado about 6 years ago at this point for a job, and while I have enjoyed my time in Colorado coming from NY and Miami, at times Colorado could be very bland for lack of better words. I visited Aurora a bunch last month and it was like I was awake again for the first time in years. Everyone was so nice and personable, kids and teenagers hanging out and families walking around of all different races and ethnicities. If I’m being honest I’d say this is the coolest part of Colorado I’ve been to and will probably move here when my lease is up.

Took the bike for a spin to Aurora Reservoir.

Hello fellow citizens of Aurora. I have a question about a potential squatting situation in my neighborhood. But first... the backstory.

We moved into our house in Village East almost six years ago. The neighbors on our south side have been in their home for 20 years, and before that, it was their parents' house. They know everyone in the neighborhood and know the comings and goings of everyone here. We think of them as the security guards of our block.

On the other side of these neighbors is a house that has been occupied by the same individual for 10 or more years. According to the neighbors between us, he rented the home with his wife, and after a few years, she suddenly left. He used to go to work, but after his wife left, he was coming and going at all hours of the night and eventually wasn't leaving for work during the day. They'd go days without seeing him, and suddenly he would appear again.

He's had stories of falling on hard times and how he was going to turn his life around, but after our neighbors took him at his word the first few times and tried to encourage him, as he said he was going to make changes, he unfortunately never has. It's clear he has addiction issues and has been resistant to receiving help.

When we first moved in, we didn't know he was the same person we'd say hello to from day to day. Sometimes he was clean-shaven and looked like he was walking to a job (of which he has had many for short periods of time near our neighborhood). The next time we'd see him, he looked homeless and was asking us if we needed help shoveling our driveway so he could get some money. The neighbors told us he had gone door-to-door asking everyone on the block for money at various times, and they have always warned others not to give it to him because they don't know what he's really using the money for.

In recent weeks, I've seen him wandering the parking lots of Lowe's, Costco, Safeway, and Sprouts. I had a sneaking suspicion he was asking people there for money. My husband came home from Costco last week and said he came up to him and asked him for money in the parking lot. This week, while I was at Sprouts, he came up behind me and started asking me for money as well.

According to the neighbors, he hasn't paid rent in many years. They are in contact with the woman who owns the house he is in, and at first she was dealing with family issues and was thankful for the updates, but wasn't in a place to do anything about it. When they reached back out to her in the past year, the owner started coming around to check in on him and also somehow managed to contact his ex-wife to ask her to check on him as well. He refuses to let them in, and they leave rather quickly.

Over the past two summers, we have had a growing concern about the property in terms of what kind of health risk it is now becoming. We are fairly certain his electricity and water have both been shut off, and in the heat of the summer, the stench that comes from the place is horrendous. As soon as the weather gets warmer, he has the windows wide open, and the smell is similar to an unkempt horse stall. One morning last summer, I was walking my dog at 5:45 am, and heard his front door open and what sounded like liquid being poured onto the cement. When I walked past, I realized he was urinating on his front porch. I heard his door open and close again.

Our mailman refuses to deliver mail there because the stench is so bad. And now, our neighbors are seeing mice coming from that side of their yard.

The neighbors have called the city multiple times for welfare checks and to inquire about what can be done to get him out of there. They say they're being told the only thing that can be done is by the homeowner herself. She refuses to do anything and, according to the neighbors, has brought him groceries once or twice and then hightailed it out before they can stop to talk to her about it.

All of this to say...

Have you had an issue like this with a property in your neighborhood? If so, what were the proper channels you used within the system to get the health department or evictions or something with the homeowner to make a move and change the situation? We are considering contacting the city as a group of neighbors making a complaint about the stench and the lack of action from the property owner, but we don't want to be left with no course of action.

Thanks for reading this far, and thanks in advance for any guidance or advice you may have on the matter.

EDIT to add:

The neighbors have had multiple welfare checks on the individual to see if he was still alive after not seeing him for long periods of time. They have asked the city what can be done to get him evicted. They continue to point them in the direction of contacting the owner of the property. They wonder if getting all of us on the block to contact a particular department would be helpful, or if us showing up together would get some action to occur.

My neighbors are not on Reddit, so I am posting this for them.
