  1. yeah, feel a lot of similarities to Bakhmut, some differences due to it being a front-line stronghold since at least 2014.  the overall scale, though it hasn't gotten much press over here, has seemed a lot higher (jesus there's been a lot of 1000+ removed from action days over the past month).  on a long enough timeframe with ongoing western support it seems like an unfortunate blip, but idk i'm feeling a little bit negative about its place in time/momentum compared to bakhmut or prior and with the seemingly current wane in material support.

    not trying to be a little bitch - i know this effort has come at the expense of a ton of of russian resources, but i'm getting a bit bummed out thinking about the fact that we don't seem to have the stomach/support to take russia down to whatever number is close enough to 0% capacity to make it all meaningful.  for the guys over there fighting their asses off, i think i'll be a little sick if the reality ends up being that this adds to shit freezing and ceding donetsk/luhansk on apparent momentum

  2. Yeah, admittedly I have only vacationed in the area and spent most of our time in Manitou Springs and up highway 24.  So maybe my characterization is way off base.  But we did go to some restaurants in the downtown area and it felt like a decent scene to me.  
     
    Also, part of Austin's success has been its being a liberal city in a conservative state, attracting businesses through the conservative politics and young people through the liberal.  Maybe the same could hold true if the state is liberal and the city is conservative?  IDK, just spitballing.


    CS is a conservative city in a conservative state, Denver/I25N are the outliers
