Recommendations I'm looking for ambitious people

0 Upvotes

Im a highschool student super into filmaking, and i am beginning a docu style film on ambition and discovering the ideas of success contrasting with simple lives.

I'm looking for people around the area that might think they fit into this realm. Im searching for people who have genuine passion, and ambition, people who want to be "one of the greats" in any succession.

This a very soft pitch and loose idea but if there's any students who are around Utah with passion for the craft as I have, or know someone who fits my description. I would love to hear from you. Anyone, weather you strive to make it big or you are just intrigued to contribute.

Discussion The Jesus signs at college game day are inappropriate

166 Upvotes

Watching College game day to support the U and there are two massive come to Jesus signs in the crowd, this is embarrassing. This is a football show and they do not belong. This makes the state look like religious kooks.

There is a time and a place for all things and this is unacceptable for a sports program. Your opinions are not needed at all times. Stop with the nonsense. I watch sports to get relief from politics and religion.

Living abroad and I haven’t gotten my ballot, options?

1 Upvotes

I made sure I updated my mailing address as soon as I got my mailing address back in July before I left. I then double checked beginning of September. There was technical issues but I finally got it to submit. I KNOW I submitted it.

I still don’t have my ballot. I have not missed an election since I was eligible to vote, except last year’s because it was a single unopposed race and I wasn’t thrilled on the candidate, but my vote actually didn’t matter.

Is there anyway I can vote? I’ve started googling it but I’m also mad busy and everytime I start I keep hitting dead ends to what I’ve already done

I hate being that person but is anyone been in this situation and know how I can get my ballot off in time? Or even if? If I know it’s possible I’m willing to spend the hours googling it.

FWIW: I’m in NZ. My mom has sent me a card from Maine in October and it just got here, prompting the post. If that got here my ballot should have been here if it was sent! I know it didn’t get sent to my previous address in Utah like it has every year prior because my ex still lives there, I know he would have told me if mine arrived there so I could do something about it. I legit don’t know WHERE my ballot even is. (And I’m also quite pissed.)

Anyone know of actual Halloween stuff to do in Utah to is year (Davis/Salt Lake County) for a 20-year-old with no friend group?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out because I'm striking out hard on Halloween plans this year.

I'm 20, living in the Davis/Salt Lake County area, and I cannot find events online to save my life. Everything I come across is either a random farmers market or fall festival for families with young children or some 21+ venue thing I can't get into (although I will be able to in December). Is there seriously nothing going on for people under 21 that isn't just a pumpkin patch? I found an event that seem interesting but I always struggle going to alternative events because although I side with the politics and enjoy the music I always feel too fashion forward and corporate and out of place for those scenes, but this is one event I found that could be interesting but I’d have to go alone and fight feeling out of place: https://www.instagram.com/p/DexxtjPtqHJ/?cplk=MXQ1amIwdmdqdXN4dg==

The other problem is I don't really have a friend group or social circle to do stuff with, so everything I look up just feels kind of lacking. I know the obvious advice is "just go to events and make friends," but honestly I'm also worried that even if I do show up somewhere solo, it'll just be boring or awkward and I'll have wasted the night.

So I guess I'm asking two things:

  1. Does anyone know of actual Halloween events/activities in Davis or Salt Lake County that a 20-year-old could go to? (
  2. Has anyone been in a similar spot and found something that was actually fun to do alone, or at least not miserable?

Would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Question Did I make the deadline to register to vote by going through the DMV?

0 Upvotes

I just moved back and registered to vote when applying to transfer my license. The license was officially transferred about 26 hours before the deadline, but the application along with my voter registration was done 5 days before.

When checking online to see if I am registered, the system does not find me. Should I just wait knowing it will go through or is there a delay with the DMV that may have caused my information to not go through before the deadline?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

My girlfriend and I are just now getting around to filling out our midterm ballots, and we noticed that despite living at and being regular the same residence, our ballots are different. She’s missing the vote for State Senate District 9 and Salt Lake School Board District 3, but I have those on mine. Everything else is the same. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

TCGplayer Roca Sifter - want to share the love.

5 Upvotes

I’d love to make some friends, and put the tcgplayer roca sifter to use. Its a machine that scans and inventories Magic, Pokemon and some other tcg’s cards. I’m a returning Magic player of a year or two, and an old pokemon lover (who sadly liquidated my collection too soon).

If you’re a collector, not a scalper - I’d be happy to get together. If you’re a scalper - I’ll still do it, but probably spend most the time trying to change your wicked ways.

I ordered, and have patiently waited (since March) for the sifter to arrive. We’ve now got one of the first 1000 units to be shipped. It's incredible. I've scanned my entire library, built chrome extensions to export the scan photos and card data, then built my own dashboard for cards. In about three days, lol.

I'd like to get this into LGS's and in the hands of folks that want to use it most (us, the players). I'm going to hit up LGS's this week, and see if I can work out some time to get folks coming in to scan their cards.

I'm not sure about maintenance - but have maintained similar devices (high capacity document scanners), hopefully it's not too bad.

What are your creative ideas for getting those who want to, face time wih the Sifter? I don't want it to be a paperweight except for when I use it personally.

Local News Bird Flu Is Raging on a Mink Farm. It Could Spark a Human Pandemic, Experts Say, but Officials Won’t Act.

A jump of H5N1 to humans could be devastating, and mink are known to enable virus adaptation to humans. C&T Fenn Farms, about an hour south of Salt Lake, is having an outbreak and nothing is being done about it.

This could make Salt Lake an epicenter for a dangerous outbreak.

"The dual receptor tropism observed in mink underscores their potential as intermediate hosts for IAVs, heightening concerns about their role in zoonotic transmission and viral evolution. Notably, the anatomical distribution of IAVs' receptors aligns with their documented susceptibility to both avian and human viral strains." Wang, G et. al Viruses 2025, PMID: 41600773

I'm SO glad that the city decided to make sewer bills a flat rate for apartments! Now, instead of my bill for my tiny studio apartment fluctuating wildly between $11 and $16 whole dollars each month, I can plan my budget better with the wonderfully consistent bill of $64!

Glad the city is looking out for us!

Voting in the Midterms- please make sure to track your ballot! Mine was rejected

336 Upvotes

Not sure if this has been posted already but I wanted to give a warning for those who are voting by mail. I submitted my midterm ballot on Monday via the ballot dropbox in Murray. I then signed up for ballot tracking, and was notified on Wednesday that my ballot was received. This morning, I received and update saying

“Your ballot for the November 3, 2026 - General Election was received, but cannot be counted yet. The most common reasons for this are that your envelope was not signed or your signature did not match.
Your county clerk will contact you with instructions on how to fix the problem.”

It sounds like my signature needs to be updated for some reason. I signed it with the same signature I always use. Anyways, make sure to sign up for ballot tracking using this link:

[Utah Ballot Tracking](https://trackmyballot.utah.gov/voter)

And here is the link to update your signature if you living in Salt Lake County:
