Who’s the best in Logan or near? Need it by end of this week (previous person fell through). Already posted in r/Logan but thought I’d post here as well.

I found a cool new site, they map all the Utah consumer brands. It's pretty cool. I'm not from here but live here now, thought I'd share it because it looks relatively new. beehivemade.com

What’s it like living in Duchesne, UT? I’m thinking of buying some land and moving there. Is it safe for people of color? What’s the Mormon community like? Are there really a lot of Alien sightings with its proximity it Skin Walker Ranch? I feel like I can’t find anything in relation to the town/county and everything I see is the opinion of people who have drove through/don’t live in the area.

Edit: Originally from a small town is Cache County. I am from Utah but have not visited anywhere near that area. I’ve lived all over Utah and there’s some surprisingly non-Mormon pockets. Thank you for all the responses!

I am wanting to run a marathon somewhere around SLC or Provo. I am looking for a path that is as flat as possible and has minimal road crossings. I have seen the BYU team training around Utah Lake (?) and some other bike paths that look perfect for what I want to do, but not sure specifically where they are. The path does not need to be 26 miles uninterrupted, I am happy to do loops or out-and-backs. Just hoping to find something that allows me to shut my mind off, rather than looking out for cars and fighting hills.

Yeah... Utah still hates this dude for wanting to build his data center that takes water away from the Great Salt Lake and beauty of Utah's landscape

When driving through Mona, Utah, one immediately notices the mountainous backdrop overlooking the town — it can be seen from the backyard porch swings of many homes in the rural town.

Mona residents are now fighting to preserve those views. The town is raging against a 3-million-square-foot mega data center being built — a data center residents say they didn’t know about until it was already approved.

The town’s Planning and Zoning Commission granted a conditional use permit for the data center developer, which meant they did not need to send letters of notice to landowners within 1,000 feet of the site. This left Mona residents feeling like they were in the dark.

Only 25% of Utahns oppose data centers broadly, a recent survey from Utah State University found. But when asked about a data center within 3 miles of one’s home, the opposition jumps to 68%.

“It does seem like as it gets closer to people’s home, they are more strongly opposed,” said Stacia Ryder, sociologist and USU researcher.

Aside from “run-of-the-mill” issues such as light pollution, traffic and noise, researchers are pointing to a larger, underlying theme.

“A data center is the first physical manifestation (of AI) that we’ve had as community members,” said Gina Gilson, another USU researcher. Gilson said that as artificial intelligence becomes a prominent part of daily life, this is many people’s first opportunity “to say no.”

Someone explain to me… I am an unaffiliated for political parties. What primary ballot do I request?

I’ve seen some other posts stating to register as republican to vote in the Republican Party ( because that’s the primary election that actually matters?) but I don’t want my name to be affiliated with republicans.

Help?
Someone explain it to me like I’m 5.

Hello everyone, I’m trying to plan a proposal to my current gf and the location that she wants is a library preferably one with tall shelves, my first idea is the salt lake public library it’s very large and beautiful, but I am open to any other suggestions of maybe do more beautiful and local library’s in Utah county!

We are looking to find a new home for our almost 7-month-old Lab mix, Canute. He is currently around 40–50 lbs, fully vaccinated, and not neutered yet. Our vet recommended waiting until he is around a year old to neuter him.

We originally took him in as a favor to a friend. When we moved into a larger home with a yard, we thought we would be able to make it work, but our work schedules have left us gone for much of the day. We've realized that we simply aren't able to give him the time, attention, exercise, and consistent training that a young Lab needs.

He is a very energetic and social puppy who loves people and is always excited to make new friends. He loves running and playing fetch and is eager to be involved with his people. He knows several basic commands, and we took him through a puppy training course earlier this summer. He is still young and has plenty of puppy energy and training left to do, but he is a sweet boy who really wants to please.

We also have another dog, and unfortunately the two haven't been able to comfortably live together, so we've had to keep them separated. Combined with our work schedules, we've realized that this isn't the best situation for him.

We will give him with his crate, several toys, blankets, and a bag of the dog food our vet recommended. He has a somewhat sensitive stomach, so we'd like his new family to have the food he's been doing well on rather than having to figure that out from scratch.

This is not a decision we're making lightly. We really want to find him a home where someone has the time and energy to give him the active, social life and continued training he deserves. We think he'd do wonderfully with someone who enjoys an energetic dog and wants a companion to run, play, train, and spend time with.

We are not asking for a rehoming fee, we just want to make sure he goes to the right home, so please message me if you're seriously interested or know someone who might be a good fit. I'm happy to answer questions and provide more information about him. ❤️

We’re located in Utah County, but we’re willing to work something out if there’s some distance to cover to get him to a new home

For me, it’s with Melissa Ballard. I’ve emailed her quite a bit over the years. I don’t really expect her to respond, agree, or even be able to do anything, but I like thinking that my representative has at least a vague idea about the issues that matter to some of us peons on the ground floor.

But then she actually responded to me! In March, I sent her a pretty harsh email about how I didn’t like the DWR initiative to kill as many cougars as possible – with literally no limit -- in an effort to boost the deer population. I mentioned how the DWR couldn’t be reached at all via phone or email, how studies have proven that predators are critical to the overall ecosystem, how cougars keep down the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease, and how an overpopulation of deer will result in more roadkill accidents. I brought up alternatives to help boost the deer population, like building more wildlife bridges, establishing more protected grazing areas for them, or limiting hunting licenses. The idea driving the initiative forward seemed, to me, that “cougars will start eating people since there’s not enough deer.” But there’s never been a fatal cougar attack in the entirety of Utah’s recorded history. It’s just fear mongering and blatant destruction of a special part of Utah’s wildlife.

Anyway, she supported the initiative in its entirety because, in her words: “I don’t see as many deer on my rural property.”

That’s it. That’s all her reasoning was. No thoughts on disease, overpopulation, roadkill, hunting permits, scientific studies, alternative solutions, etc. Nothing. Apparently, the entire state ecosystem can be seen in Mrs. Ballard’s yard.

I see her name all over the place now, being flaunted as some sort of righteous family woman, and I just want to scream. I feel like I’m the only one who knows how cold, callous, and thoughtless she really is.

So what’s your experience been like with local officials? What are they really like behind the curtain, for better or for worse?

Hey everyone!

I’m new to the salt lake area and I’m looking for a good photographer for proposal pictures. One that is willing to go into the mountains and hide or be ready to take pictures. Which leads me to my next request.

I’m also looking for ideas of places to propose in the mountains that would be easy to get to. I know it’s kinda specific but I’m looking for a mountain area that shows good peaks and valleys that also has some kind of water. Either a waterfall or reservoir.

If it’s a small hike that’s fine, just want to make sure it’s reasonable for any photographer. If there’s anything out there that isn’t a hike but has good views I’m open to ideas.

Thank you!

We’ll be holding our next No Kings protest in Provo on October 17th from 3-5 at Provo City Hall. The theme of the protest is vote early. With that we’ll be marching toward the ballot box on University Ave at 4:30 and encourage participants to vote that day. Come and voice your concerns at the event and voice them through your ballot!

The wind blew our gate open tonight and my cowboy corgi white name auggie , and mix lab black name nimbus got out if you see them or have them please message me

Has anyone else's internet (specifially xfinity) been really bad today? I'm wondering if it's the weather. I'm in Orem
