I purchased a used iPhone SE 2 for my son from Amazon for $140. This phone had a brand new battery and the screen and back glass are flawless. I was very impressed.
However, if you love the iPhone SE 1, I think that the iPhone 13 mini would replace it well. You would keep the squared off aesthetic, but gain a lot of usable screen real estate. The latest iPhone SE phones are the same size as an iphone 6, and similar to the mini, but they have lower end features and the round aesthetic. The only deal breaker I see is that the SE phones have touch ID rather than Face ID. Not sure which she would prefer. (I would love to have both!)

The myColorado app is great as it stores a legal ID (except for police interactions???) as well as insurance and vaccine info. Colorado also supports the Apple wallet implementation, which is absolutely useless. The Apple wallet version can only be used at an airport, but when when I tried to use it at DIA the TSA officer just said "no". I think Apple may be the one who is doing it wrong...

A decade after a disastrous launch, is Apple Maps finally good?

I know I'm a fanboy, but I have been using apple maps since iOS 6 beta and it has been great for me. Maybe I just happened to be in parts of the world where it just worked better. Often when I would find an issue, I would check google, and google had the same issue.

Club Dread is my favorite Broken Lizard film. I guess that is my humor, and it is not for everyone.
Anyone know where I fill out the form to receive my new 4 bedroom 3 bathroom single family home in LoHi?
The new beer named “Suck my balls, I do what I want” is a collaboration between South Park writers and South Park brewery in Fairplay. The beer aims to educate employees that the pay structure they signed up for is not really up to them

The first time I read this comment it was a word salad. Now I’m in a better place and it is absolute poetry.

Subscription fees are part of this but I think the direct pipeline to the customer data is a bigger factor.

I switched from lastpass to 1Password shortly after they sold to logmein or whatever. I have lately been eyeing the whole suite offered by https://proton.me
I would entertain the idea of using Apple keychain, but I am really hooked on password sharing with the family. Have not seen a good implementation from Apple yet, but maybe it is on the way (or I missed it!).

I did a bad job on my DuckDuckGo'ing initially. After a second try and better keywords I found this document: https://www.denvergov.org/content/dam/denvergov/Portals/747/documents/policy/DPR-Alcohol-Policy.pdf
The most useful text is found in Section 2, and I am highlighting it here for convenience.
Possession, consumption, sale or service must be in compliance with State Law including, but not limited to, no consumption by persons under the age of 21 and as otherwise prohibited. In addition to the above restrictions, the following restrictions apply unless authorized by a Concession License, a Contract, or a duly issued Permit:
- Kegs and glass containers are prohibited.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed in parkways.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within the boundary of any pool.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within the boundary of any playground.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within twenty-five (25) feet of any entrance to a recreation or senior center.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within the boundary of any skate park.
- Alcohol Beverages may not be possessed or consumed within the boundary of any bike park.
cross-posted from: https://centennialstate.social/post/39084 > Most city parks previously had a policy easily visible and posted indicated that 3.2 beer was the only allowed alcoholic beverage. I have recently found signs at Jefferson Park and the pirate ship park at Sloans lake indicating that hard alcohol, glass bottles and kegs are prohibited, but the language seems to specifically leave beer and wine (without glass) off the prohibition. > > Jefferson Park sign >  > > Sloans Lake old 3.2 sign >  > > Sloans lake new sign >  > > Does anyone have a reference for the generic city wide policy? There is no sign at my local park, and I want to know what the default setup is.
I’m a lowly USG-3P user with a couple 8 port POE switches and 4 APs running my controller off of a RPI4. However, a friend wanted to go all in, so I helped him to spend his money… I hope to post some more pictures as it goes along. We made some progress that is not shown, but neither of us are experts, nor are we OCD. One unexpected exciting feature is the built in ad blocker in the UDM-SE, which is quite effective.

Lightning was amazing when it came out, and helped to push USB-C. Still, its time has come. I’m anxious to ditch lightning and then only need usb-C for iphone, iPad, and laptop. Then I can use Apple Watch charger to charge watch and AirPods Pro 2. With some mag safe chargers around the house, I’ll be set.
This instance will need a little more traction to be useful. I’m thinking it may be useful to collaborate on a welcome message to post on Reddit. I was thinking that the r/Colorado subreddit would be a good test as it is a much smaller community than r/Denver. Part of my thinking is that we should advertise not as a replacement for Reddit, but an addition, and an insurance policy of sorts. Basically not to oversell it, but also not to attract everyone, just those who are curious. If we can get that up, and some of us here can add comments and some updoots, it should give some much needed visibility and that logical Colorado landing spot for those who just don't know what to do.
