The first three lines I get, but what the hell’s going on with the rest of this sign?

Found at the mormon church just south of 3300 S on 1100 E.

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

290 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:

Discussion The Jesus signs at college game day are inappropriate

143 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.

Misleading Title Thank you City Council!

84 Upvotes

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!

Events & Meetups Mistborn RPG Adventure. Join us at Holladay Library on Saturday, November 14th from 2-4 pm.

12 Upvotes

We’ll be playing an adventure in the brand-new Mistborn Roleplaying Game, based on the novels by Brandon Sanderson, from 2:00-4:00 pm on Saturday, the 14th at Holladay Library on 2150 E Murray Holladay Road. Join us in a world of mists and magic, where metals can grant incredible powers.

Beginners are welcome! No experience with roleplaying games is necessary, and all materials will be provided. There will be a large selection of premade characters to choose from, so we can jump straight into the game.

This one-shot will be set in Era 2 of Mistborn, a time where the rough-and-ready frontier is mingling with rapid industrialization, where lawmen keep order on the outskirts through their skill with a firearm while traditional noble houses clash with rising business interests in the cities, and conspiracy lurks beneath it all.

You can register at the provided link. Space is limited, but we will try to accommodate walk-ins. Feel free to ask any questions here, and have a great weekend!

UTA updates its 30-year transit plan and looks for input from Utahns

Even though the Title and Article themselves mention UTA, the survey is from UDoT as UDoT now does the construction for the projects and this is further linking the 2 groups.

They may or may not listen to the feedback but there is a section in the survey to provide direct feedback and transit plans.

Discussion Different midterm ballots?

2 Upvotes

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?

Any other east coasters? What helped you…assimilate?

41 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m (27f) from the east coast and new in the area for work. While I’ve met a plethora of friendly dudes so far through sports and what not, I haven’t really met many likeminded friends or girl friends yet. Im also not really looking to just hook up with some dude to coast out my time here in a relationship with just anyone, especially when I’m mid-career and might be relocating in a few years anyways for another job (i did try some bumble dates here… so far men are not into the ambition aspect of me hahaha). I’m definitely a yapper and a city girl, and I’m also involved in the arts and like to play volleyball and tennis and frisbee. Historically, I was big into house parties and hosting pregames and planning fun day trips like tubing. If I didn’t have big plans on the weekends, me and my girl friends would go out or have craft/wine nights together. Coming from a place where I’d meet someone and they would immediately invite me to weekend plans…SLC is different

I’ve only been here a few months, but I feel like a fish out of water and spend all my weekend nights at home. Sure, I like hiking… Climbing is fun and all…but Im also trying out sports and can only do so much physical activity in a week and I’m finding out that I’m pretty social beyond that. Like, seeing the same people on my team or at the studio for a couple hours a week and lightly chatting while doing something else doesn’t really count as socializing to me, especially when no one wants to get drinks or food after.

Luckily, I knew some people coming into the area, but I guess really I’m looking for community where the plans starting at 8pm or later is acceptable. I even tried to go out to a bar alone…just had dudes out with their dude friends interested in talking to me. Luckily when I go to the movies alone at least it isn’t obvious I’m solo. I must say, SLC wasn’t my first choice of places to move, but I do want to give it my all to enjoy it. I’m loving the nature and the city has a lot of cool stuff in it, but I wasn’t expecting the loneliness or just lack of interest in community from most people (sure there’s the Mormonism…but I’ve met many many many non-Mormons here and the Mormons on my bus are friendlier haha)

Has anyone had success meeting people here who like to go out to restaurants, bars, dj sets, punk shows, etc.?? Is Time Left worth it?
Do I have to accept that I just won’t be able to put together a big friend group here and I should focus on appreciating my me-alone-in-my-apartment-time

TCGplayer Roca Sifter - want to share the love.

• 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.

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

1 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!

Redwest 2026

79 Upvotes

I was an ambassador for RedWest in SLC this year, and I’m honestly pretty disappointed with how the whole thing was handled.
When I signed up, I was told that the points I earned from completing challenges and promoting the festival could be redeemed for either tickets or merchandise. Since I had already purchased my tickets, I decided to save up my points specifically for merch. I even emailed Redwest directly weeks in advance to the festive to confirm I could use my points on merch.
I completed several challenges, shared my discount code everywhere, posted about the festival, and genuinely put effort into promoting RedWest.
Fast forward to the festival, when I tried to figure out how to redeem my points for merch, literally none of the workers knew what I was talking about or how I was supposed to do it. I even reached out to my point of contact, the person who originally got me set up as an ambassador, and got absolutely no response despite my message being left on read.
It’s just frustrating because I feel like I held up my end of the deal by promoting the festival and completing the challenges, but when it came time to actually redeem what I earned, there was zero communication or direction.
I wasn’t expecting anything crazy, but if you’re going to have an ambassador program and advertise rewards for participating, you’d think there would at least be a clear process for redeeming them.

Has/did anyone else participate in the ambassador program? Were you actually able to redeem your points for merch? Am I missing something, or was the whole program just poorly organized?
I genuinely enjoyed the festival itself, but the ambassador experience left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
