Colorado has recreational weed and is in full support of right to repair? Well damn, if I ever have to move, I know where I’ll likely be going!
Meh, the weed thing isn’t that exciting anymore, I’m in Baltimore and pass five dispensaries on the way to work now.
Thanks Colorado, for breaking through for the rest of us though.
Massachusetts has had decent right to repair for a decade too. And had universal healthcare way back too. They just got legal weed recently, but like the others, cost of living is rough there. Boston, Somerville and Cambridge housing, but you’re stuck in Boston.
Boston itself sucks as a city but I’d still not want to live anywhere else. We got mountains, beaches, forests, and all four seasons, without the forest fire season sucking the life out of summer.
Denver Metro is on par with the cost of living of San Diego Metro. Lots of people agreed with you already and moved here.
Pretty much any state thats not overrun with conservative assbags has legal weed at this point. The entire eastern sea-board is flush.
Please don’t come here for weed
If you haven’t done one yet you’ll never be more proud of yourself than replacing your own phone screen.
I’ve honestly never shattered a phone screen in 15-ish years of having a phone. I’ve also never needed a new battery.
But I’ve watched many hours of videos about doing it, so I’m ready. And I’m happy that it’s a possibility for so many people that need it.
Yeah! Let me repair all my semiautomatic dildos already!!
Umm… How many did you
collectbreak?
Man, I live right next door in Utah, and we don’t get any of the cool stuff. No legal weed (we have medical though), no right to repair, our “Idaho stop” law is worse, and no baseball team or football team. But at least we’re getting a hockey team, so I guess that’s cool.
Good on you Colorado, maybe someday my state will be cool. But instead, we pass stupid anti-porn, anti-social media, and anti-trans laws (but at least the people are rising up against the anti-trans law).
And weird liquor laws as well. Epic Brewing has a beer called Escape to Colorado because they could not make it in Utah. Also love that state it’s so pretty
Lol. We at least increased our legal limit for beer sold in groceries, so now more beers can be sold here. So, progress?
But yeah, our liquor laws are quite stupid. But they make the state a bunch of money, so there’s that…
Colorado actually went thought a similar thing about 7 years ago. Could only buy 3.2 beer at a grocery store. Every grocery store had a liquor store close to it so not a big deal at all
Idk, it’s kind of a big deal because ours close on holidays and Sundays, so you can’t just pick up your favorite booze last-minute, you need to plan ahead.
I grew up in WA where grocery stories frequently had a liquor section (required ID) and wine was available on the regular shelves, so it’s kind of weird here. I don’t drink though, so it doesn’t really affect me, but I still think it’s stupid.
Cool, I feel like there are probably some loopholes but its a step in the right direction.
My only concern is that having different laws for each state may make it hard for companies to comply and it may even lead to “location locked” devices.
I doubt it, they’ll probably just go for the least common denominator, which is generally what happens with California’s laws (I see lots of “this may cause cancer in California” warnings on stuff, and I’ve never lived in Cali). Or the USB-C thing on iPhones due to EU laws and cookie banners due to EU and Cali laws.
That would only be a concern if Colorado is the only market since they’re pretty small, but we’re seeing traction in other states, so we’re more likely to see companies just roll out most things to most states.
They will likely discriminate a bit if you don’t live in one of the states (e.g. on warranties), but I doubt they’ll have a state filter for parts and whatnot because that probably costs more than just rolling it out to everyone.
yes. yeeees.
Gosh I wish that Denver were a bigger city. Colorado really is a lovely place.
Denver seems pretty big… how much bigger were you wanting?
only 18 cities in America with more people per wikipedia, that’s big!
Big if true
San Francisco, Chicago, NYC. Those are cities. Denver is a very large town.
It takes 20 miles to bike out of Denver. Are you carbrained or just ill informed?
If Denver were Manhattan, it would be Manhattan, not Denver.
