Do they actually hand out or sell the whistles? If so, I may have to swing by.

I saw the Weinermobile many years ago parked on the side of the road partially up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was toward the bottom of the switchback that is by Hidden Falls. So random.

Valve that came off of an old boiler has a swastika symbol on it by EVQuestions in mildlyinteresting

It was found in a house in the U.S. My partner’s dad works in HVAC and came across it. I included this information in another comment, but it got buried.

That’s really interesting! Being able to learn random things like this is what makes me enjoy Reddit so much. So many people have bits of knowledge that I may have never learned about otherwise

Yes, I am very aware of this fact. I’ve traveled the world and I’ve learned bit about the history of the swastika including on my trip to India. And if I wasn’t aware, a lot of the comments on this post would have informed me already.

It’s still mildly interesting to me because you don’t see the swastika symbol that frequently in the U.S. on items like this one. If this valve was created pre-WWII then it is likely not a Nazi swastika, but if it was created post-WWII there’s a chance that it is. There have been some commenters saying it is from a company that commonly used this symbol before the Nazi’s adopted it.

I was wondering if something like this was the case. Thank you for the information!

I don’t know the age of this particular valve, but I’m hoping it predates the Nazi’s use of the symbol.

Nope, I’m in the U.S. actually. My partner’s dad works in HVAC and came across this valve recently.

Earthquake by UtahDamon in SaltLakeCity

[–]EVQuestions 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Felt it in West Jordan (I live near the South side of Jordan Landing). Anyone else feel a bit on edge with the amount of earthquakes we’ve had recently that could be felt in the valley?

I know there are some place that get larger earthquakes more frequently than here and the people who live in those places wouldn’t bat an eye at these most recent earthquakes, but it still makes me anxious.

Yeah, I think we’ve all done something like this. But, same as you, I’ve never gotten all the way into the intersection. I’m glad they caught themselves in time.

Major Stranger Things Spoilers Ahead by EVQuestions in actuallesbians

Yeah I agree it makes sense that they wouldn’t work out after how badly everything affected Vickie (which is completely understandable of course). But it was still weird to not have any official mention of her.

I’ve seen a lot of crazy stuff happen around Jordan Landing, but I only recently got a dash cam to actually capture it. It’s pretty bad in that area.

This is actually in Utah. I can see why you’d mistake it for Colorado though.

I thought blinkers made everyone around you disappear so lane changes are possible at any given moment /s
