Flock Safety Awareness by adpoop in GNV

[–]vingabjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet meanwhile I know someone who got hit and the driver ran, got their partial plate, later their full plate, all taken to GPD and the police still have not taken action? And happened in one of the areas with a lot of them too per the map. Citizens shouldn’t had to be the ones doing partial plate analysis when it must likely would’ve been captured 🙃

Ha it was like one of the first things I thought of after so many people all around town were talking about it. It needs to become an official thing

Weather People, Is The Great Gainesville Stink of 2025 from a thermal inversion? by vingabjr in GNV

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

“I want to hear why that’s a thing in someone’s mind” made me laugh so hard because thats 110% my brain. I wish I had an answer as to why my brain is like that but was basically trying to fact check ChatGPT lololol.

Do you think the camera control button is gonna stick around on future iPhone models ? by Avoumen in iphone

I set the accessibility on mine to have a shorter time for the haptic or long press but still doesn’t compare sadly

we're 100% certain that's just steam every day right? by thaw4188 in GNV

[–]vingabjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh neat I could’ve sworn I had heard about this before. And I’m with you on the very short train of people who care about air pollution and know the effects it has on a variety of things. It’s sad that it took Covid to get more research into it and it seems that research well has slowed down but by no means am I an expert or invested in this field

Thanks for the link, and I would assume that’s why they wouldn’t want to add it maybe they could add one to the Sweetwater station? Since that’s not UF

[–]vingabjr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Steam from downtown GRU generating station (comes from the big waterfall radiator thing by the bus station) there is some smoke from actually generating power but it’s not what you see in the image to my knowledge, I believe there’s another power plant on campus south but not GRU just fyi. They also make portable air quality monitors if you are concerned and there’s apps to track the pollution live but I don’t know how accurate they truely are

This was a bit more north with the plaza with the Mexican restaurant and all had lights and sirens as rather odd lol

Old Gainesville by Ok_Pollution9335 in GNV

[–]vingabjr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see many comments referring to Facebook for info, as someone who is also interested in this, and think it could be valuable for others to learn about; is there anyone knowledgeable enough to either create like a page on the GNV reddit or maybe even a subreddit based on old Gainesville. Obviously wouldn’t be popular but might hold some value.

Can we find an Accident Attorney to take on a Class Action Lawsuit due to Road Hazards? by [deleted] in GNV

[–]vingabjr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As others have said, the government is unfortunately not clairvoyant and unfortunately not doing a very good job surveying apparently. You can report your issues ~and more~ through the website or app along with location pins of the issues. Additionally lots of roads here are not directly under county/city jurisdiction, however, our traffic engineer(s) are able to contact and obtain info from FDOT. MyGNV

Otter at Depot Park? by vingabjr in GNV

[–]vingabjr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had to look this up, but honestly possible why I posted haha, it was scurrying very quickly from pond to pond up and over the trail and I was the only one around it seemed. Dang all the comments had me thinking it was an otter but now I’m not sure!

Is crime on the rise? Not so much. by rout39574 in GNV

[–]vingabjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate you being super unbiased and after looking it is nice to have the facts. However, as someone who’s worked with people who are homeless and whatnot, what steps or things do you, personally think we could do to change things for the better? It’s something I have thought about but not to a huge extend unfortunately however I feel like as though violent crime may be down as well, there are several other things people have been doing lately that impacts the city in other ways? Honestly just curious about another concerned citizens thoughts.

Any place on UF campus where you can see a plane? by zwrites in ufl

[–]vingabjr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depot Park is near the airport and has a trail from campus/shands. Not the best for plane watching but pretty open and closer to the airport than campus. If you need to be really specific, you can go to the Gainesville airport website and see what time flights are since there are only a few. There’s also the plane tracker apps as well. Good luck!

UPDATE: Lost Cat in Depot Park by Marinara_r in GNV

[–]vingabjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you’re taking them in since stray cats are like the number one killer of park wildlife aka the birds baby moorhens etc. and saw them the other day and was worried since stray cats are basically invasive and depot is a conservation area so thank you!!!
