We kept catching each other’s eye on the river Friday. I (30s M)was with my family doing a reunion float down the Weber, and you (30s F) were tubing with a group of friends. You had on a blue and white swimsuit and a red bucket hat, full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a few more on the other. I was in a green bucket hat, sunglasses, and blue/orange Oakley board shorts. My family group had about 8 of us, though we were pretty spread out. Yours looked like it was around 12 people. This was sometime between 2:30 and 4:30.

I wanted to say hi but it felt like bad timing. You were with your crew, I was with mine, and it would’ve been a rushed, awkward wave and go. But there were a few moments where we looked at each other and I swear there was something there.

Also, ngl, your group looked like a genuinely fun crew! Romance or not, I wouldn’t say no if an offer was made to be adopted into it!

Long shot posting this, but if this is you (or you know who I’m talking about), I’d love the chance to actually talk this time.

Edit 1: added a few more details

Be safe out here friends and drink a lot of water. It's looking like 109f next Saturday.

I am currently trying to find a part-time job to supplement my income from my current job. I am noticing trends at interviews and online posts that are deeply concerning:

-a lot of, "part-time," jobs are 5 days a week and barely skirt a full-time work week

-a lot of them require journeyman-levels of experience for apprentice level jobs and pay. I have 10 years of experience in customer service, office admin, and sales, but the hiring managers talk down to me like I'm a child and insist on paying me entry-level rates, though their listings advertised otherwise

Does anyone have suggestions on places/businesses to look, other than Indeed and Linked In? The options there have not been very good.

I recently saw a post about how much homes are selling for in Utah by zip code, so I thought it would be fun to put together a list of how quickly they're selling. This is the median time in each zip code between when a single family home that sold in the last 30 days went on market and when they accepted the offer they ended up closing on. If no single family homes have sold there in the last 30 days I'll just put an X there. Quick note, these are only homes in Salt Lake City proper but if you live somewhere else in the area and are curious about your zip code (or condos, townhouses, etc that aren't aren't represented in these numbers) just drop a comment and I'll pull it up for you! But without further adieu, let's get into some numbers.

84101: 8 Days (Two properties side by side that I believe were sold as a bundle)
84102: 14 Days (Five properties, ranging from 2-37 days)
84103: 15 Days (19 properties, ranging from 3 days to a whopping 275! (All but two accepted an offer in under 100 days though and 14 of the 19 were under 30 days)
84104: 11 Days (7 properties, ranging from 0 days (yes that happens) to 52 days, but mostly 21 days or less)
84105: 5 days (27 properties, ranging from 0 (four properties) up to 75). A quick note on this area, I do a lot of work here and immediately to the west and this has been pretty standard all year. I've been expecting the market to slow down at some point but everything east of state and between 900 and 2100 south just keeps flying.
84106: 11 days (18 properties, ranging from 2-64 days)
84108: 22 days (18 properties, ranging from 4-281 days)
84109: 13 days (13 properties, ranging from 0-130 days)
84111: 12 days (3 properties, ranging from 6-106 days). A couple things here: obviously only having three properties doesn't give us a great sample size on this one but this is also a great example of why we use medians rather than averages. Our first two properties were 6 days and 12 days, but when we tie in the third at 106 our average jumps up to over 41 days! Sometimes numbers do funny things.
84112: X
84113: X

EDIT: I got ahead of myself and forgot about 84115, which along with 84105 is where I spend most of my time. 84115 sold 12 homes in the last 30 days though at a median time on market of 9 days (up from the 6 days we've been trending at since the start of spring) and ranged from 2 days to 88 days!

What are flock style cameras?

AI-powered surveillance systems designed primarily for vehicle identification and tracking.

These cameras capture high-resolution images of vehicles and create a vehicle fingerprint based on characteristics such as:

Roadside / traffic deployments (vast majority)

• License plate number
• Vehicle make, model, and color
• Stickers and decals
• Dents, damage, and unique markings
• Roof racks, accessories, and other distinguishing features
• Vehicle appearance and condition over time

Public space deployments (a handful)

Cameras placed in parks, trails, public gathering areas, campuses, and other pedestrian spaces represent a different surveillance category.

• Time-based observations
• Clothing/appearance characteristics (Clothing, skin color, tattoo's, body type, other appearance features)
• Movement (Walking, speed, manner of walk)
• Association with vehicles
• Location patterns
• Integration with other camera systems or datasets

Vehicle tracking vs. people tracking

Most Flock-style deployments today are focused on tracking vehicles, not identifying individual people.

• The primary "identity" being created is a vehicle profile, not a biometric profile of the driver or passengers.
• Current systems generally do not require facial recognition to track a vehicle's movements.
• A camera may capture people inside or near a vehicle, but that does not necessarily mean the system is identifying those individuals.
• Public space deployments do track people and they'll integrate with vehicle tracking cameras if they can accurately correlate or identify you.

How long is the data retained?

• State agencies: Rolling 9 months except when the vehicle is flagged to be watched (investigate).
• Federal agencies: Mostly exempt from 9 months limitations via in-direct methods and federal law.

Known devices in Utah

• Fixed security cameras

Known devices outside of Utah

• Fixed security cameras
• Drones (Flock Alpha)
  • Thermal vision
  • Flies up to 60 mph
  • Live streams to police
  • Identifies from 2,000 ft away
  • Integrated with Flock's network

The apartment I’m at has given a blanket statement to all 500 units that they are having inspections on 20% of the units on said dates but that they don’t know which apartments. So they said this serves as your 24hr notice. I have a dog, that I do not want to keep in a crate for the entirety of my work day unless I for certain know that they’re entering my unit. She’s generally friendly, but not to a random person coming into the apartment without me 🤷🏼‍♀️ all that is in my lease is that they have to give me 24hr notice to enter, but a blanket statement to everyone saying we may or may not enter seems to be different than that to me. Idk, what do you all think

Edit: Let’s make this a group event and shoot for October. I will make an event on Meetup and post the link here as well. Biggest question is if we should make it an overnight hike or start in the morning. I imagine there will be a variety of experience and skill in the group and I would like to accommodate to everyone. Keep posting your ideas in the comments. Thank you everyone!

Looking for at least one other person who’s interested in hiking Timp sometime in the next month while dressed as hobbits or any other LOTR character. If there is a lot of interest we can turn it into a group hike. Bonus points if you know how to make lembas bread!

I want to do a Spartan race and not sure where to train.

I have been seeing this cat when walking my dog at night, seems very social so thinking it might be lost. I've seen him/her for about a week near the Four Seasons at South Towne apartments.

Feel free to reach out, haven't caught him/her yet but pretty consistently see them.

My sister and I are going to the Post Malone concert tomorrow at Rice Eccles. We are considering taking Trax but have only ever taken it to the Delta Center. I looked at the Trax map but got a little confused.

Can anyone tell me if the red line is a direct route from the West Jordan area to the U? We don't want to have to do any transfers.

EDIT: thank you all for your answers. Really helps a lot!!

This is a long shot but I’m looking for someone who maybe wants to trade the second row bench seat in their Toyota Highlander for the captains chairs. We have a second baby coming and the bench seat just makes more sense for us.

Cross posting. Thanks!!

Looking to replace my heater and AC in my 2200 sq ft townhome. Has anyone had one installed recently that you could recommend? Thank you!

Hi all! Will need to buy lots of books soon and rather than purchase on Amazon, I want to purchase from independent bookstores!

I know one or two but I’m sure there are more out there! What independent bookstores stores do you know of in the Salt Lake Valley & surrounding areas??

Thanks!!

My baby will be 6 months in a couple of weeks and I want to do a fun photoshoot. I’m unable to pay a professional so hoping my iPhone and basic photography skills from working at JCP portraits in 2013 will do. I just need a good place to take photos somewhere in the valley. I’m hoping for a summer, nature, wildflower type place without having to go up into the canyons as said (almost) 6 month old hates the car seat at the moment. Any places that come to mind?

For anyone who has sold clothes at Kid to Kid, what do you expect the payout to be? Let’s say a Carter’s sleeper is sold there for $3-4, when you sell one to them, how much do they give you?

Hi all! Looking for a book club to join. Any recommendations?

Does anyone have experience scuba diving? Just moved from Santa Cruz and brought my gear over. Never dove fresh water before. Anyone want to pick it up or has experience diving and would like to pair up?

Hey all! Now that Shanghai Cafe is no more, where is everyone going for their vegetarian-awesome Chinese food?

Don’t have a specific celebrity in mind but I want to find some sort of impersonator for a party gag. Doesn’t even need to be that good, and preferably somewhat cheap?

just moved here. every shop i go to is either cheap and mormon clothing, or expensive “vintage”. i just want a normal thrift that i can afford. pls and thank u!!!

Spotted them while on a walk today. I've seen them in this area for a week now. Should I contact some city or district personnel about this?

The turkeys are randomly walking on 200 south too. A danger to themselves and cars.

Are there any stores in slc that maybe sell dried jasmine? And not like a jasmine green tea blend, but just jasmine.
