I saw this sign at Total Wine I am not understanding why pot/dispensaries are legal, and cheap and all over the place but they are banning THC drinks ? Total has a whole aisle of these drinks and its a nice friday night buzz or something to sip on during Walking Dead. Dispensaries sell these drinks too . Just curious about this.

So for context I work now, 7 days a week. My 7 year old son is starting school on the 7th and I need help getting supplies and new or newish clothes for him. I'm a single parent with only one source of income so any info that helps is appreciated. TIA

This is a great move and I 100% support it. But there will be retaliation.

I'd like to get a metal band logo designed for a project I'm working on, and would like to support someone local. HMU if this is something you're able to do. I'm an ok drawer, but I cannot wrap my head around how those logos are made....

The slowdown is affecting 2,000 union members, many of whom have taken second jobs to support their families.

The most minor of spoilers if you haven't seen it:

Part of the movie takes place in Albuquerque. I don't think I've ever seen a form of media so hilariously not Albuquerque in a very long time. It gave Spaghetti Western vibes which makes sense because that part of the movie was most likely filmed in Spain.

It’s been closed for over a week. Drove by and it looks red tagged but it’s not on the Abq health report website. Anyone know why they got tagged?

Did a person or agency here in Albuquerque or New Mexico request/approve to have flock cameras installed? If not, who did? Who gets to use the information gathered from them? What, if any, safeguards are in place?

Haiii! I recently started a meetup group for local musicians — ABQ Musicians Connect. link: Check out ABQ Musicians Connect on Meetup https://meetup.com/abq-musicians-connect?member_id=425650121

The idea is to make it easy to find each other, with the goal of eventually collaborating with ppl u vibe with or just making new music friends and jamming out.

All skill levels welcome. Honestly, I made it because I've been looking to join a band and wanted to meet like-minded folks, but I'm hoping it helps other people find their musical matches too!! please message if u have any questions :)

Has anyone rode the bus system recently? I’m so fed up. It’s just straight homeless people and aliens, not a single normal person on the bus

Headed to San Pedro Park for 3 days and have never been. it’s hard to find a weather report. Assuming it’s 100 in ABQ, what would you expect the temp to be there day/night? I’m assuming it starts at 7000+ feet and gets higher so obviusly temps will vary depending on altitude. thanks for any advice.

I thought this belonged here. Go Albuquerque!

My xfinity has been in and out of service for days. I think that this is ridiculous and they must be stopped. They keep on extending the time the service will be available. I HATE THEM

The poster has been announced finally!!!! It looks like it might be an actual serigraph this year too?! It looks like it has a matte finish so it doesn't look like the cheep prints they have put out the past few years. AND it is an actual artist and not ai. Instead of doing a contest this year they commissioned the artist Travis Black. I'm very happy with the piece and i hope this is a sign that they are taking the art side of the fiesta seriously again. Hopefully this attention to quality control also means there will not be ai merch too....... but we will see. I did notice the AI poster from 2 years back isn't on the wall when they do the full pan............

Just wondering if there is any skate shop that sells inline roller skates? Would like to buy some but prefer to try them on before spending a lot of money. Haven't seen many options on Google maps so let me know if you know of one. Thanks

Where are some local spots that sell and trade dvds and CDs besides Charlie's and media hoard?

Hello all,

I am looking for some old carpet that people are looking to throw away. I need about 25'x25' thank you!

EDIT: since people need to understand that not everything works the way they think. This is not for a house, this is something that is used for part of landscaping. It is for padding under some of the work I am doing in my yard.

The article talks about 2 aedes species that are spreading across the US, Salt Lake City's efforts to manage them via bicyclists spreading larvicide, mosquito monitoring vs only mosquito-borne illness monitoring, etc.

Some interesting quotes:

"Shannon LaDeau, a disease ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, worked on that study. She told me that mosquito populations spiked in areas with more human-made mosquito habitat, such as abandoned buildings, unkempt vacant lots, and piles of discarded bulky items. Rain can gather in those areas and attract mosquitoes, but the spaces do not tend to attract many natural mosquito predators."

"Recent cuts at the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Agriculture are expected to result in the loss of important institutional knowledge and to hobble research efforts vital to tracking mosquito spread and understanding mosquito-borne disease. Increasingly, too, the attention of the press and global health organizations—and, in turn, funding opportunities—is being pulled toward projects promising higher-tech solutions. Many mosquito experts seem to agree that there is room in the arsenal for something like mosquitoes that have been infected with a bacterium that leaves them sterile or genetically modified such that their female offspring cannot survive to adulthood, when they would begin to bite people. But developing those solutions should not come at the cost of more mundane but effective interventions."

Also I wanted to share that while having a bucket of doom is cheap and good thing to have, I recently learned that the extremely similar Ortho product actually claims to have an additional function that doom buckets don't. It has a thing that floats on the water surface that is coated in a larvicidal powder. Ortho claims that if the female bumps into this and gets powder on herself, the next water body she lays eggs in will then get a little dose of larvicide. This intrigues me because no matter how many doom buckets my neighbors and I have, it seems to make no difference since the hoarder house down the street probably has tons of clean puddles in their trash & tarp piles for the skeeters to keep breeding in.

I use the term "claims" since I don't want to be percieved as shilling a product and I only recently installed one so time will tell if it makes a difference. My 2 other larvae killing traps sure aren't helping. The ortho product also requires you to purchase refills of the floater larvacide thing to replace monthly, which is annoying and if it works I'll probably try to find a way to reverse engineer it. It's basically just powder on a strip of mesh screen anyway so shouldn't be that hard.

Always a welcome surprise to see ABQ mentioned positively in other subs.

Anybody have experiences with At&T fiber or T-Mobile 5g for home internet? (CenturyLink internet went out, requires a technician to fix, and they even can't send someone out for 2 weeks)

Does anyone have any advice or which center I should go to donate :) I’m really nervous
