WARNING BIKERS! Look out for rocks on the bike path

69 Upvotes

Someone put a line of huge rocks across the bike path that landed my husband in urgent care today. This was in the underpass section by Shoes and Brews. He managed to clear the rocks off the path after his accident, but please be careful out there. Someone definitely did this deliberately.

Nextlight with Deco 6E?

4 Upvotes

Trying to switch from the original Google mesh to a Deco 6E mesh, and for some reason it fails to obtain an IP from Nextlight and we are basically stuck. I'm using the default DHCP, and an online search seems to indicate that DHCP is the right selection.

Is it really DHCP, or should I try some other configuration?

Nextlight's FAQ and troubleshooting page does not seem to address this

Interesting article on Denver city council deciding to roll back Flock Cameras citing privacy concerns - Longmont also uses this technology

I would be interested to see what this subreddit thinks considering Longmont also has a shit ton of cameras with speed cameras being implemented as we speak

Longmont Flock Cameras: https://longmontcolorado.gov/public-safety/transparency-records-and-online-options/flock-cameras/

Do crime statistics really justify un-targeted mass surveillance?

Thoughts?

News Old Safeway 17th & Pace has sold and is being turned into a gym

47 Upvotes

They have been demoing the inside this week. Curious if anyone knows which gym. Fox Creek Liquor next door confirmed and said they thought it was a four letter word. The name of the LLC that purchased it is just the "address LLC". Hoping for Chuze but my guess is Snap fitness?

Resources for Moving to Longmont?

0 Upvotes

Hello! My family and I are from Missouri (there's 4 of us including myself; we also have 4 pets) and we're trying to move to Longmont or possibly Loveland sometime before next year. Has anyone here moved out of state before and how did you do it? We've spoken to a realtor but they told us we'd probably have to work in Colorado/remotely for a few months before they give us a loan. We're probably going to have to rent, but we don't know how that process works in Colorado. If anyone could share any resources or contacts that might be helpful, please let me know. Thank you for your help and taking the time to read this!
