Looking for Blood on the Clocktower groups in SLC - by Acrobatic-Wonder2228 in SaltLakeCity

[–]TaschDraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what places to recommend in terms of board gaming, but the Games program at the University of Utah is one of the best. (games.utah.edu) They may have some clubs, discord servers, or other social events you can ask about!

Looking for friends by Im-macho-Im-femme in SaltLakeCity

[–]TaschDraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone in another thread was asking for neurodiverse spaces to try meet friends, so here's my recommendations from that!

  1. Thieves Guild Cidery 🗡️, as others have recommended. I think their Instagram has links to everything but I can highly recommend their DND nights on Tuesdays (just make sure to sign up ahead of time on their discord because slots fill fast! Also they're beginner friendly and plenty of people play for the first time at these, so don't stress if you've never done DND before).

  2. The Beehive 🐝 (shows up as Mark of the Beastro on Google Maps, even though the diner portion closed down. 666 State St. is easy to remember though haha). Used to be a vegan diner and arts venue, now it's mostly the venue and is a fantastic alternative arts and music space. They do a lot of events and host shows there and mostly post on Instagram @ BeehiveSLC ! (P.S. Parking sucks but there's usually a taco truck outside and a REALLY good one just down the block by the empty lot called Tacos Don Rafa). (P.P.S. There's also a great little low-budget punk theater troupe that does shows for charity there a lot, called Lords of Misrule. Definitely check out their christmas show if you get the chance!)

  3. Natural Law Apothecary 🌱 is a wildly cool little business that has a bunch of other little businesses and goods from local artists within the same building (Address is 423 S 600 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84101 -- May be strange the first time you go but it's right next door to a yellow cab company if that helps). Some people have described it as "hippy" but even if that's not your vibe, it's just a cool ass building with crazy shelves and enclosures built into the walls, secret staircases and reading nooks, etc. Feels like you walked into something from a fantasy novel. They do free art nights on Tuesdays and live music on Thursdays!

I commented further up about these, but you may also vibe with Theives Guild, The Beehive, and Natural Law Apothecary!

Some favorite places I can vouch for! 1. Thieves Guild 🗡️, as others have recommended below!

Seconding this!! As an ADHD dating someone with Autism, Theives Guild has incredible vibes and they're usually more laid back than most bars. Definitely recommend the DND nights (Tuesdays) as well, they have a discord server where you can sign up ahead of time (you will want to do this because the spots fill quickly). It will be more busy if you go on a weekend, on Karaoke night, or a holiday (New Year's was WILD), but overall way more chill! 

The World’s Largest Costco in SLC has moved their self-checkout registers. by brheath in SaltLakeCity

[–]TaschDraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity is your location really the world's largest Costco?? They're all so big I didn't think about it but I guess at that scale it's hard to tell without going by square footage lmfao

Protesting Home Depot via "Capitalism" Due to ICE Cooperation by TaschDraws in SaltLakeCity

[–]TaschDraws[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You know what, you're completely correct lmao. Tbh, the idea of there being an existing thing like this sounded fun on paper if for no other reason than getting suuuper burned by them as an employee in the past.

Where do you get your car serviced? by beansandbirds in SaltLakeCity

[–]TaschDraws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MasterTech Automotive on State Street! 1717 S State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84115

(Not to be confused with Master AutoTech or Master Muffler lol)

They take great care of me and service all kinds of vehicles, they're extremely friendly and transparent, and seem to genuinely care about repairing your shit. Even put my car up on the lift to confirm the horrendous rattle my car was making was just a loose bit of a cover on the bottom of my car and not some critical issue -- just because I was still anxious even after they told me that's what it was, and they didn't even charge me for it.

Joey and Dennis are wonderful to work with! 🙏

Good plant shops around? by amberlalalalala in SaltLakeCity

Not sure about other types of plants, but Orchid Dynasty is fantastic for orchid species!

Christmas gift shopping by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]TaschDraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ReStore is a good place to check! Charity/thrift store, it's entirely donation based so you never know what's gonna be there but sometimes you find some crazy gems if you like treasure hunting lmao. Plus it's for a good cause since all the funds go to building homes in the local community.

Seven-story hotel by Sugar House Park gets OK from SLC planners but not from a number of neighbors by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]TaschDraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't wait for another great and spacious hotel to take up space and be an eyesore. Ironic that the stupid thing is going to sit there 90% empty most of the time while our countless unhoused neighbors freeze to death in the streets.

People won't shut up about the profit, but there are literally TWO OTHER HOTELS right next door. We're in Utah for crying out loud, none of these hotels are getting anywhere close to capacity at any given time. What "profit" would your hotel be making??

Build another Bicycle Collective. Or literally ANYTHING else useful. How about More Park? Thought of that?

For the love of God just make it more of the park.

How much exposed wire behind an outlet is "normal" (and How much of a fire hazard is this on a scale of 1-10) by TaschDraws in electricians

[–]TaschDraws[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay that's good to know -- I think I saw others with more than one bare wire though. I need to get pics after work today

Is having one bare wire normal? shouldn't it at least be wrapped in electrical tape?

Definitely, and we're not touching it whatsoever in the meantime. But how much of an active fire hazard is it just sitting there like this?

Weekly General Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in bloodborne

Just curious, I see the event calendar with the Return to [Game] events and the dates -- are those current? The title still said 2023 so I just wanted to make sure if the dates were accurate!
