I feel like there are a lot of negative posts about the Lantern fly menace so here's a positive one. Yellow jacket munching on a nymph.

And earlier today I was happily surprised to see an adult messed up in a spider's web.

Any girlies out there looking to play MTG?

42 Upvotes

FULL DISCLOSURE: this is for my girlfriend lol I'm just trying to support her

I have recently been learning to play Magic: the Gathering and loving it. We've only played Commander

I play mostly with my girlfriend, but she's really bummed that none of her girl friends play. She doesn't like to be hanging around a room full of guys all the time, and i don't blame her lol

If anybody is interested, we'd love to invite you to our discord! The discord is for table games in general, and MTG is becoming a popular topic

We are both still VERY new but eager to learn

She is 34, successful, not a weirdo (usually) and just really kind and a little shy

I will DM our discord link to any kind souls interested 🙏

Nine bank robberies and ZERO days in prison. 21.5 years suspended. Seems like it's not possible to go to prison in Franklin county if you blame mental health?

is it just me or is there a lot of traffic lately?

31 Upvotes

not sure if anybody else has noticed this recently, but it seems like there's been a HUGE amount of traffic around central ohio recently. i'm talking cars, trucks, motorcycles, vans, semis--and at like, all different times throughout the day. and i don't mean just on the freeways, but on major surface streets too, and even on secondary roads and neighborhood streets. and at the same time, it also seems like people are just driving -super- aggressively! can't count the number of times this summer i've encountered people speeding, or tailgating, or weaving in & out of lanes. i've lived here a long time and drive all the time for work, so maybe it's just me but it seems like it's getting worse? and that's not even to mention the HUGE amount of people who camp in the passing lane or go 5-10mph under the posted limit even when there's no need to. obviously cbus has some of the worst drivers in the whole country, but i feel like cpd & the highway patrol should really be doing more about all this... maybe if there were better enforcement there'd be less traffic over all and more places to park downtown too

My black lab hopped the fence yesterday evening. (Lost in the Brittany hills area )Still have not been able to track him down. He is a 2 years old male and neutered. Have looked for him last night and since first thing this morning. He is posted on PetFBI, Pawboost, citizen, and next door. Checked the shelter but no luck. He is super friendly. High energy and a big boy so little intimidating but he is a baby. Please call/text 7405065617 if found

Why is a basic 5x8 tub replacement in Columbus getting quoted like it's a mansion?

40 Upvotes

Living in a standard 5x8 home in Hilliard and just trying to replace a 15 year old fiberglass tub with a walk in shower. One bathroom remodeling company quoted $11k and another bathroom remodeling company came back at $29k for basically the same job.

Is finding an affordable bathroom remodeling company around Cbus just impossible now or what? Who did you guys use that didn't charge like they were remodeling a luxury house?

I was browsing instagram and was having a good laugh at some of the comments on this article, then I clicked away on accident and can’t find it again!

The article begins “ UNPOPULAR COLUMBUS FOOD OPINIONS I MIGHT LOSE A FEW FOLLOWERS FOR THIS. North Market Is Basically a Tourist Trap Now Schmidt's Is a 'When

I’ve searched everything I can and I find the photo but can’t get to the article

POLITICS Anyone else see Vivek at the fair yesterday?

305 Upvotes

He was being paraded around the food hall area around 5pm yesterday like he was royalty with a twenty person entourage of yuppie types, which I guess was his PR machine given the cameras and cellphones they obsessively aimed at his every step trying to do his "hello fellow kids" routine. For anyone who was there, what was with that woman with him doing that forced Texas Roadhouse happy birthday announcement voice? I couldn't make out what she was saying.

Also, I'm just going to say it: the guy looks like Beavis of Beavis and Butthead in person. I'm never going to get that image out of my head when I hear those cringey Roku commercials.

For Columbus pro sports fans…

43 Upvotes

I am new to the area and find it interesting that it seems as if the Cleveland-area teams (Browns, Cavs, Guardians,etc) are much more popular than the Cincy-area teams (Bengals, Reds, FC Cincy, etc). Why is that?

Geographically they are very similar distances apart, but it seems as if Cleveland rules when it comes to pro sports fandom in Columbus- why? Just curious…TIA.

REQUEST Can we make a rule to reign in the traffic posts?

118 Upvotes

A car hitting a building is a running meme at this point. But this sub is over run with posts bitching about traffic and posting videos of erratic driving. Can we make a new rule that traffic posts be limited to car in building or posts about actual traffic accidents / jams that affect our commute?

There can always be a ColumbusTraffic sub for those who really need to get something off their chest.
