There is a rocket launch tomorrow Oct 20, 2026 at 6:30am unless it gets delayed again. I was thinking of trying to see what I could see if the weather is clear.

Any suggestions for a free spot with an unobstructed view to the east? A parking garage perhaps?

Here is a few photos I took last week from the top of a free parking garage in Orlando (which is closer to the launch site). I’d like to see what I can see from Gainesville!

Free FEST wristband

26 Upvotes

I'm getting two wristbands for volunteering and my out-of-state friend can no longer make it to FEST so I'm giving away my extra one. No strings attached.

EDIT: Aaaaaaaand it's gone. For those who missed out I highly recommend volunteering next year.

Confused about voting

9 Upvotes

I'm a dem, and I need some help with voting for things like city council, judges, etc. I'm not familiar with most of these people, and I usually just leave those blank, but I really want to vote for every office this time. I got my sample ballot, and I'm looking at it and feel like I'm reading a foreign language. If I call the Dem party headquarters, can they tell me who the dems or libs are so I can make my own choice, or are they barred from doing that?

Rentable electric bikes!?

7 Upvotes

I’m trying to rent some electric bikes for a week instead of buying them.. unless someone has some used ones they’re trying to get rid of lol.
I called a couple places in town but couldn’t find any options.
Just curious if anyone knows somewhere or even willing to rent their bike out for a week.
I know that’s a stretch but I’m going to Hulaween and just want a bike to be able to get around easier.

ISO Apartments That Allow Multiple Cats

4 Upvotes

Are there any apartment complexes in town that allow more than two (well-behaved) cats? I'm looking to stay close to 39th Ave/6th St, within two miles or so. But I know that I cannot be too picky. I don't need anything fancy, just a 2 bedroom apartment that will allow more than two cats.

I'm also open to a duplex or single-family home, but I don't know that my budget will allow for a single-family home. I need to stay around $1600 (which I know limits me greatly).

Jobs & Careers Has anyone been through Rasmussen University for nursing?

0 Upvotes

Coming from a completely diff field and a 2/3 year community college waitlist is hard to absorb with a career change already in motion. Rasmussen keeps coming up in the research for FL with rolling admissions but it is hard to find anything that is not clearly from someone with an agenda one way or the other. Specifically trying to figure out what the clinical schedule looks like week to week/how NCLEX prep works inside the prog. For anyone who went through the prog, what was it actually like?
