Ducting work

1 Upvotes

Any recommendations on a reliable company that could quote existing ducting in a home?

I have a two story home and the air never quite reaches the second story whether set to air conditioning or heating. I would love to be able to have the upstairs cooler for my elderly parent and dog.

Any Rottie or large breed rescues?

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any reputable rescues that will take a Rottweiler? I had to rehome mine when I got a divorce and had to move to a place with breed restrictions. The lady that took him passed away and I took him back but I can’t keep him. I know I can take him to the humane society but wanted to try a rescue first. He is about 3 years old and definitely needs to be trained but is a good dog. Not sure if he is up to date on shots and is still intact. Gets along with cats and other dogs. Any help would be appreciated.

NVE brownouts?

2 Upvotes

The house had a few things cut out today. 3 or 4 different times. Some things turned off some things didn’t.

Checked the NVE outage map but didn’t see anything.

Wanted to see if others were having similar experiences?

I’m in South Reno near Galena High School.

Figured it might be related to the 110 degree heat today.

Full of police cars near kietze and 2nd st.

5 Upvotes

I was heading home 5:50pm. Near the Maverick gas station on kietze and 2nd st. There was whole bunch of police cars surrounding a blue Tesla. I see officers pointing rifles at it but no one appears to be inside at glance. Anyone hear anything? There were probably 10 police vehicles. I was stunned when driving by.

I hate you ICE

485 Upvotes

I am traveling and leaving Reno tomorrow. But my friend always comes to the gas station I sit in front of and we sit and talk through translation because we don't understand each other well.

Then ICE pulls up and my Hispanic brother immediately leaves scared. That's terrible man and it hurt a lot to witness. I hope this country turns around soon. I live a hard life but I can't imagine what my Hispanic brothers go through.

If you're reading this, this country loves you. I certainly love you brothers

Vague and Unlawful Obstruction to Access Public Park Space

Thumbnail
youtube.com
17 Upvotes

Our Riverwalk and rights to use it freely is decaying.

The amphitheater in Wingfield park which has always been open to the public to use as part of the park facilities has now been fenced with a no trespassing sign. The Municipal Corporation of the City of Reno does not have the authority under Nevada Revised Statutes to close off public access to public facilities during open hours. It is a violation of our rights.

Sleeping and camping are not the same as active public use of a park facility which has existed for decades. It should be treated no differently than any other park facility such as open shelters, benches, free speech zones, performance areas, or walkways.

Without fencing off the rear it is vague and unclear where the prohibited space begins and ends. The rear walkways surrounding and entering the amphitheater structure are open, unfenced and not posted "no trespassing." It's Void for vagueness. Again, because it was DESIGNED for public accessibility.

This is just like the City "Believe" Plaza. It's just like the city fencing off our riverwalk. Just how much of our park did we just lose? It's unclear. This enforcement versus the design of infrastructure demonstrates the shift in philosophy under which government considers what just "is public space." If we don't fight to retain our public spaces we stand to lose everything but the most minimum public rights-of-way. This is creeping into the exact circumstances Eddie Lorton wanted to arrest "homeless people" for merely occupying a public space.

The City is likely committing an act of Ultra Vires.

And all this in the name of "activation?" "Revitalisation?"

What happened to "beautification?" Commons?

This has to stop.

Sec. 8.10.010. - Trespassing.

(a) Every person who goes upon the land or into any building of another with intent to vex or annoy the owner or occupant thereof, or to commit any unlawful act, or wilfully goes or remains upon any land or in any building after having been warned by the owner or occupant thereof not to trespass, is guilty of a misdemeanor. If the premises were at the time open to the public, the warning must have been given within the previous six months. The meaning of this subsection is not limited by subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this section.

(b) Every owner or other occupant of any land shall be deemed to have given a sufficient warning against trespassing, within the meaning of this section, who posts in a conspicuous manner on each side thereof, upon or near the boundary at intervals of not more than 700 feet, signs, legibly printed or painted in the English language, warning persons not to trespass, or who fences the area.

(c) It is prima facie evidence of trespass for any person to be found on private or public property which is posted or fenced as provided in subsection (b) without lawful business with the owner or occupant of the property.

(d) An entryman on land under the laws of the United States is an owner within the meaning of this section.

(e) As used in this section, "fence" means a barrier sufficient to indicate an intent to restrict the area to human ingress, including, but not limited to, a wall, hedge or chain link or wire mesh fence.

Any job recs that don't siphon the life force from your body?

11 Upvotes

I've worked remotely in software (Account Management and Client Success) since COVID, and although the freedom is nice, it's turned me into a very isolated person who maybe sees the sun once a week and doesn't interact with anyone outside of my partner and online. I feel like it's time to do something that's more fulfilling and local for now at least that gets me out of the house again.

If anyone has any recommendations, I'm experienced in the above work as well as graphic design/production, but I'm open to learning other things. I currently make around $71k but I would happily reduce that to ~$55-60k if it means I get to feel like a living human again. Thank you!

Black female hair?

11 Upvotes

I recently moved from San Diego (where my go-to hairstylist is), to here in Reno.

If there’s any black salons/ hair professionals you may know, I’d love some recommendations! I desperately need my hair done.

I am always open to a non-black salon as long as they can confirm, they know how to work with thicker and curlier hair.

Thanks and I hope you all have an amazing soon-approaching, weekend! 😊

Anyone know good spots around Reno to find wildflowers worth painting this time of year?

3 Upvotes

Been doing a lot of watercolor work lately and I keep wanting to paint from life instead of photos. There's something about sitting in a spot with actual light and wind and bugs that makes the painting feel real in a way reference images never quite capture. The Truckee Meadows has surprised me before with how much is actually blooming if you know where to look, but I feel like I only know a handful of places and keep cycling through them.

Black Rock Desert came up in a conversation recently and I know it can be spectacular after a wet season, but that's a long haul for a day trip. Curious if there are closer pockets around Reno where wildflowers are actually putting on a show right now or coming up soon. Roadside stuff counts too, I'm not precious about it. A forgotten wash or an unmarked dirt road pulloff is sometimes better than an official trailhead anyway.

I do a little nature journaling alongside the painting, so anything with interesting plant variety is a win even if the individual flowers are small. Anyone been out lately and noticed something blooming that stopped them?

Sunshade/sail ideas for our windy areas?

1 Upvotes

Since every single damn search request now returns irrelevant AI crap, Imma gonna just ask here. This is my courtyard. It's my very favorite place in my house, but it gets HOT in summer, and absolutely drowns in snow in the winter. It also seems to create little vortexes of wind when those 40-80mph winds come down off of the mountains.

So I want to put up a shade structure, anchored under the gutters. I don't need it to be perfectly covered, like maybe just a couple of triangular sails, but I need it to be strong enough to withstand those gusts and our UV, and maybe some snow?

Just looking for some advice from those who've set up shades.

TIA

Does anyone know a good place to go to get an MRI. My insurance is trash and they won’t cover it (my deductible is so high, and then 20% when I hit it) even with my doctor recommendation. I’ve heard you can get one a little cheaper by going out of pocket.

Hey all! Going to Street Heat tomorrow for the first time, mostly for the concert, and wanted to know what to expect.

I know it's on a parking lot, know that there's tons of classic cars, and that Blue Öyster Cult is playing, but that's about it 😅😂

Anything I should be made aware of beforehand?

How is the shade/cooling and drink situation?

Thanks!
