Ive never seen so many days in the 90s with lows in the upper 60s

I can't believe this has to be said but data centers should not be built this close to houses. The fact that the houses were allowed to be built before or after doesn't matter. The city council approved it and that in itself is part of the problem. City council members only get paid $7,000 per year which is why I advocate for them to receive a living salary so they would be less likely to be influenced by outside interests. It's hard not to wonder what they are getting out of this deal that no one else in the city is going to get. One hundred jobs isn't enough to justify the resources this is going to need. Who's to say they will actually hire locals or if they will bring their own people from out of state. But even if they are all local, 100 jobs doesn't justify the resources this is going to need. You better believe it's not going to be enough. They will want more and more. We are not against data centers in general. We are against AI data centers, especially ones that are this close to houses, especially without serious impact studies. It's ridiculous this has to be said but I don't think we are asking for the world here. We just don't want a data center this close to houses let alone this close to Garden of the Gods.

I had a guy call me and say he was from the Wings fraud department. He said my card was used in Texas. Also, someone had changed my username and was in my account on multiple devices. He then asked me what my original username was. At this point I knew better then to give out my info. So I hung up and called Wings/ENT directly. My account is fine. They were trying to get me to give them my information.

So if your "bank" calls you don't give out any information and call your bank back to verify.

Tomorrow the House is voting on the annual military funding bill that includes provisions to greatly deepen U.S.-Israel military and intelligence ties.

Lawmakers in Congress are trying to massively expand military ties between the United States and Israel — and they're hoping the public won't notice.

These NDAA provisions would profit Israeli weapons makers by embedding them into Pentagon procurement processes and mandate intelligence sharing even as the Trump administration itself has raised a red flag about Israel spying on the U.S.

Take action now and tell your Representative to vote NO on the NDAA and oppose efforts to deepen U.S.-Israel military and intelligence ties.

The IMEU Policy Project has a toolkit that will dial the Congressman's office for you and provide a template script for reference when you make a call. It only takes a couple minutes to make an impact!

I saw a few other cities doing this and thought it’d be interesting to do one here, too. Salary transparency can be helpful, and maybe this thread will inspire or motivate someone exploring different careers.

Hello friends! Im looking for a og tamales recipe. Would anyone be so kind to share with me how your family makes red pork Tamales. I would super appreciate it.

I need some repairs on my deck (new decking, replacing some rotting fascia boards, etc.). Does anyone have recommendations for someone that would do such work well (and ideally w/o gouging me)?

Good morning,

I'm looking on behalf of someone who doesn't use social media for recommendations for a car accident defense attorney. They received a summons and are reaching out to the insurance company who handled the claim (work truck) but would like to consult with an attorney. Any recommendations or who to stay away from? Thank you!

Looking for a ride or will shuttle with you and buddies to the top? Either thursday or friday this week. 41M + icu nurse.

Lemme know?!

Hello! I'm going to be visiting Colorado Springs for the first time in two weeks, and will be there for about six days. I'd love get a few rides in on some of the local dirt. It looks like you have some awesome trail systems that would be a nice change from our east coast roots and trees. The problem is, I've called several bike shops in town and none of them seem to do rentals or rent demos. So putting this out to the locals: is there anywhere in town where one can rent a decent full-suspension bike for a day or two at a reasonable price? Thanks so much for any helpful suggestions.

I'm looking for a plant shop that treats its growers well, gives back to the community, is LGBTQ+ inclusive, etc. Anyone know of one?

Over the past several weeks I've been building a project that analyzes public sermons from churches all over Colorado Springs. It started as a way to detect wealth-focused teaching and based on what they consistently teach rather than websites or mission statements. I'd appreciate feedback on the methodology, presentation, and whether the data is easy to understand. I'm especially interested in hearing what seems fair, what seems unclear, and what you'd improve.

I was born in 2005 and have lived in COS my whole life. When the Sky Sox announced their departure, I was sad but not distraught because I knew the Helena Brewers (rookie affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers) were coming into town. However, when the Vibes folded, it felt like I lost a first love to this city.

These past few days, I have been trying to find any news on the future of professional baseball in the city but the only thing I have heard was from a couple articles that were posted back in December that said of a potential new team in the American Association of Professional Baseball that would be located in the Springs.

I now turn to y’all and not ask for answers but more so of possible hints or rumors that were heard. What does the future of baseball look like in COS, is it on a hiatus right now or is this the start of something permanent? Looking at videos of the current state of the old Vibes stadium, it’s distraught and already ran down; so, what will happen to the stadium? Will it be destructed? How do you all feel about baseball being absent in COS, is it noticeable or kind of an, eh whatever thing?

It’s been killing me knowing that baseball isn’t here anymore, but I still will always hold out hope for another beginning of baseball in Colorado Springs.

I want to take my partner out for a nice date but I'm running into an issue because most date spots are hiking trails or expensive restaurants.

My partner and I are both broke (because we rent in the springs lol) and disabled (my partner uses a cane somedays and I sometimes have to use a walker, both of us need places to sit regardless), I'd love to take us somewhere nature-y though.

My partner loves gardening, I love historical things, and we both love animals, bugs, plants, and prehistoric things.

So far, I have Cheyenne Zoo and The James May Bug Museum on my list but I'd like to find some more things for us to do.

Someone please tell me what donation center has the best offer for donating plasma right now? I haven’t donated in years but things are REALLLY tight, my income barely covers my mortgage and doordashing on the side isn’t enough to cover the rest of utilities and food. I was going back to school and went through all of my savings. My credit card is maxed out, and my HOA/water company just threatened to turn my water off and put a lien on my house due to unpaid fees/fines for weeds in my yard. I’m in the north east area of the Springs near woodman and marksheffel.

It most certainly wasn't for anyone who lives in my house. They put a giant happy birthday bag just inside the fence then drove away. When I went to get the mail I found the bag and brought it inside. Upon further inspection this definitely should have went to someone else. I saw on my doorbell camera that they came back but instead of knocking on our door or ringing the bell they just kinda yelled "hello" and then left. If this was you please feel free to come get the gift. It looks like it would make some kid very happy.

Hey everyone, my wife and I just "arrived" to the springs and are looking for some good food recommendations. Specifically, restaurants and weekly promo deals.

For example, we frequented a place with 2$ burgers on Monday nights at our last place.

Thanks all!

Gonna be a long day! Come prepared and come ready to represent the people of 719! You can come and go as you please so you aren't obligated to stay all day.

I know there are a few spots in town to buy records but is there one you'd recommend to find newer releases? The ones I've been to are mostly older albums (Tiger records) or more niche punk/metal (What's Left). Hoping to pick up the new Boards of Canada album. Thanks.
