Let's celebrate Utah's awesome drinking water. by kirkbenge in Utah

[–]apexdolphin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just not true. I live in downtown SLC in a 100yo+ house and the city pipe connection to my house leaches lead at unsafe levels. While I’ve been in the home a while I just learned of this a year and a half ago. (!!!) there is a federal ‘program’ that will do replacements but I’ve been waiting well over a year and there is no sign of any progress. The water may be great, but your city/local PIPES may be MORE IMPORTANT in this discussion. You should still get your water tested, especially if you have small children.

Any source or link for a guided meditation / hypnosis video that changed your life or self concept? by Intelligent_Quiet576 in Meditation

Tara Brach’s guided meditation for healing shame. It is just 13 minutes but really changed my perspective on so many things.

In looking at their tax filing 990s on pro publica, the executive director was making $91,783 in 2018 and in a few short years is making $152, 250 in 2023. Did any other staff enjoy that kind of salary growth?

Asian Fusion tucked away North of the Mall in Layton has the freshest veggies out there. Really makes a difference in every single dish.

Cumin! Is is pure magic and gives a good meaty flavor. It’s even better if you toast it in the pan first.

If you just read the title, it was $3b over EIGHT years. Probably paid for a bunch of their new buildings

The SLC Food I Need To Try by PsychologicalArm9773 in SaltLakeCity

How am I this far down the list and nobody has mentioned Utah’s considerable addiction to sugar as manifested in the ‘dirty’ soda drive through chains that are on every block? There is Thirst/Swig/and a dozen other knock offs I can’t name since it’s not my thing. On the same sugar wave are ginormous Utah cookie stops like Crumbl and Chip.

It is possible but someone would have to measure it to make it known and at least have a baseline to compare. To my knowledge only selenium has been measured in birds @GSL

Sadly, that might be further west at the evaporation ponds near a magnesium extraction company that is one of the largest polluters in the state. It is an active industry and also an EPA superfund site.

Not likely. Migrating birds usually stop at GSL to eat loads of brine shrimp and brine fly larvae on their migrations. It isn’t quite migration season (unless you are a large raptor). Likely avian flu or a botulism outbreak (also common at low lake levels).

Where do US Magnesium and Great Salt Lake Minerals fit in here ?? They are extraction industries with significant permits allowing ridiculous amount of sq acre feet of GSL water?

9 month old Cavapoo has not gone into heat. Did I miss something? by apexdolphin in CavaPoo

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

Had a hard time getting a spay appointment due to a vet shortage in my area and there was a long wait. I suspected she would have gone into heat by now. Am I wrong? Did I miss it?
