To say “I do” in Colorado (and do it up), couples should prepare to shell out around $30,000

Couples hoping to tie the knot in Colorado in 2023 will spend an average of almost $30,000 on their ceremonies and receptions.With its picturesque mountains and easy access to the Great Outdoors, the state encourages Coloradans to join nonresidents in hosting destination weddings to say “I do.” And last year, the American wedding industry boomed as couples postponed their nuptials during the COVID-19 pandemic and came out looking to get hitched, according to wedding marketplace The Knot.The site pinned the average cost of a wedding in the Denver area at $29,000 – a little less than the U.S. average of $30,000 spent on the ceremony and reception, and on par with event expenses in Atlanta and Detroit.It’s a cheaper price point than New York at $60,000; Chicago at $47,000; Washington, D.C., at $40,000; and Los Angeles at $37,000, according to The Knot. But Denver ranks as more expensive than Dallas, Houston, Seattle and Tampa (all at $28,000), as well as Minneapolis a...

Will CBD Vape Carts Get Users “High?” — What It’s Like To Vape CBD E-Juices

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:35 GMT

View the original article about Vaping CBD E-Juices at Real Tested CBD.CBD e-juices have become one of the most popular options in the global vaping industry. Since CBD doesn’t contain nicotine or delta-9 THC, many vapers feel it’s the “safest” way to enjoy their favorite pastime. Plus, many hot CBD vape carts are pre-loaded with hemp terpenes, secondary cannabinoids, and natural flavors, all of which add to the vaping experience.However, many new customers are concerned about how CBD vape carts will make them feel. Since CBD comes from cannabis strains, does it have psychoactive effects?Will CBD Vape Carts Make Users Feel “High?”If you have a lab-verified & hemp-extracted CBD vape cart, it won’t make you feel “high.” Legal CBD e-juices must contain ≤ 0.3 percent delta-9 THC, which is too little to make even a lightweight feel “stoned.” Plus, since CBD blocks THC from landing on CB1 receptors, it’s unlikely you’ll feel any psychoactive effects when vaping hemp CBD vape juices.Ju...

Tuesday tee times? How the pandemic changed when we play

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:35 GMT

Of golf’s many storied traditions, this one has long held true: Weekdays were a time of rest, recovery and senior discounts, the sole province of retirees whose biggest concern is a chip that stops far short of the hole.But a new Stanford University analysis shows that the work-from-home trend is scrambling the game’s weekly rhythms and routines, with busy professionals squeezing in rounds on once-sleepy Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays — further proof that the industrial-era 9-to-5 routine is vanishing.“We’re busy almost every day,” said Kevin Sprenger, general manager of Baylands Golf Links in Palo Alto, where staffers were cleaning balls and emptying trash on a recent Tuesday morning, with 147 rounds reserved for play. “Thursday’s as busy as Sunday.”Kevin Sprenger, general manager of Baylands Golf Links in Palo Alto, Calif., talks about the uptick in mid-week business since the pandemic, Tuesday, July 11, 2023.

Clendaniel: Why I won’t be joining Zuckerberg’s Threads

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:35 GMT

Pardon me for rolling my eyes at the notion of Mark Zuckerberg donning a white hat and rescuing Twitter users from the villainous Elon Musk.When it comes to signing up for Threads, Silicon Valley’s hottest new app, count me out.I see it as just another means for the 39-year-old gazillionaire to mine users’ data for another big payday. In Zuckerberg’s eyes, if he destroys Musk’s latest toy in the process, all the better.Never mind if Threads is used as yet another means to spew more misinformation and disinformation as we approach a critical election year.Don’t get me wrong. I see innovation as the cornerstone of sustained economic growth and prosperity. I also know that all technological breakthroughs carry the capacity to do both good and evil in the world. What I expect — and users should demand — is that tech leaders use those tools in a responsible fashion. Especially when they involve users’ private data and dispensing information...
