    Last minute Colorado vacation planning

    I've heard there are some hotels worth checking out in Aurora. Very popular with newcomers.

    Colorado Residents

    Parts of it are really nice. SE. Southlands. I know that area is pretty nice. I think this was up closer to the city. I try not to ever go there.

    Colorado Residents

    The last time I was in downtown -- I was taking the light rail back from the airport -- I couldn't believe how it'd changed. Awful.

    It’s time to tell all the whiny hiny countries to shut up!

    Which one of you got the UK police commissioner all worked up over posting stuff online about the riots?

    The interviews are a lot of fun because they typically ask you a couple brainteasers to really put you on the spot.

    Pics of Custom Knives

    I don't know as much about him, but I know who you're talking about. I've seen him on YouTube. He does a lot of cool looking primitive designs as well.

    Pics of Custom Knives

    He's quite busy now, I believe, but this was handcrafted by @spraguejoe : (Armenian dragon skin obsidian blade with antler, hickory, and walnut handle) My pics probably won't do it justice. I feel like flint knapping is a bit of a lost art. He makes incredible knives.

    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    If he really likes math, he might also consider Operations Research or Data Science. Those are fairly math-heavy/analytics-driven. Operations Research is kind of a good segue to the business side of things and provides the opportunity for natural progression to Data Science. With machine...

    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    I feel like that is a really good plan of action. There is nothing wrong with taking the JC route. When I started out, I visited UofM, and absolutely loved it. One of the top engineering schools, beautiful campus, they have everything. A lot of the buildings on their engineering campus are...

    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    I will never forget taking 3 semesters of calculus, 2 semesters of DiffEq, and getting into a grad level linear algebra course that I used (along with DiffEq) to satisfy a requirement for a EE class I had not been able to schedule. I had a tutor, this old man, a retired professor, he said...

    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    Yeah, MBA or finance. Mathematical/computational finance tends to pay very well. Same with law. Intellectual Property (IP) law with an engineering background. Those are scarce skill sets. It's a trade-off. It's a lot of school, but it can be worth it in the long run. I don't know what those...

    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    I was a pure math guy that settled on EE (I did not get into NE) at a large state school. The things you talked about with your son are certainly valid and important considerations; however, my advice would be to really look at the curriculum and try to get an idea of your typical day-to-day...

    Griz in the Big Horn Basin

    That was my initial impression as well.

    Co. Mt lion ban on the Nov. ballet.

    He has also gotten appointments through on the commission -- 2/3 this last time. You have to stop this stuff dead in its tracks. HOWL has done a good job on this from the beginning and are really trying to bring awareness to the general population.

    Griz in the Big Horn Basin

    Slightly off topic, but I figure someone here might know. I see where MT is relocating (or has?) a couple grizzlies to WY for genetic diversity. We have North Continental Divide grizz and Greater Yellowstone grizz. Is there a noticable difference? What is this all about? I can't imagine those...

    Choosing where to live in Colorado

    We are in one of if not the last little pockets of resistance along the entire front range, I feel like. I like CO. Honestly, the only things I miss (transplant from back east) is the ocean, though I have grown to prefer the mountains because there are typically fewer people (and we do have...

    Silly things you heard as a kid

    We couldn't have dessert unless we could spell it. Silly rules!

    wolf management debate

    Was this in response to my post above? Colorado (which it clearly states in the post) IS a state that's essentially managing wildlife through mob rule (ballot initiatives). Kind of a bizarre take.

    wolf management debate

    This is the gist of it. We have a model for mountain lions that's worked for years. This is proven science. There's ~6 million people in Colorado. This idea that you're going to release wolves into some sort of natural ecosystem is just silly. And they can't even define chronically...
