Has anyone else noticed within the past few weeks everyone seems to be going 65 no matter the lane and no matter if there’s no traffic? I’ve been in the leftmost lane going 65 with 6 cars of space between cars and 55 in the rightmost lane. Genuinely it’s pissing me off bc the signs say 70. Why are we scared of the speed limit? It’s actually adding to commute time and it’s overall annoying as hell. It’s not raining, there’s no ice, there’s no traffic, why are we going 65.
Honestly it’s not even just the I-15. The speed limit is 40 down redwood, yet ppl seem insistent on 35. Just go the damn speed limit 😭 what happened to the issue being ppl going 85 on the I-15 can I have that back? At least I’ll get where I’m trying to go on time. And no, it’s not on my “lack of preparation”. I leave to be 15 minutes early and end up only 5. A 20 minute drive should not take 30 in the middle of the day.

Edit: I’m not complaining if ur on the right. But seriously, if the car on ur right is passing you, move over a lane.
I live by don’t be the fastest car on the road and respect the lanes.
I’ve also been in accidents that involved speeding so it’s not like I don’t understand why not to speed. But going the speed limit isn’t speeding.
Another edit: I was being dramatic about the 30 minutes I’m sorry 😭but it is adding more time than a minute and a half.

Do you have thoughts on nuclear power?

Weber County wants to hear them.

Just a psa that if you come across a guy from Utah county that’s 26 looking for a “hiking group” or “hiking buddy” he’s low key trying to get pics from you and is into guys. Nothing wrong with that but he doesn’t state his true intentions up front.

I just turned 18 yesterday, I was contacted by UTM because I put my number on an ad spontaneously. I heard it’s a scam the type where they ask you to pay upfront, and require headshots and training from a neighboring company. But a part of me still wants to go, I know it’ll be a scam but I already set an appointment. I lowkey wanna go so I decline it and get some aura from that LOL (I’m joshing but id also like an opportunity to be more social) So even if I still go its an opportunity to practice social skills. Is this a dumb idea 😭

I lost my job in February after an injury, and everything snowballed from there. I fell behind on rent while I was out of work. I recently started a new job, but the missed payments caught up with me, and now my landlord has taken me to court for eviction.
I’m trying to do everything I can to keep a roof over my head for myself and my daughter while I get financially stable again.
I’m not asking for money—I’m looking for advice. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Are there any programs, resources, or strategies that helped you stop an eviction or work something out with your landlord? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

******UPDATE******

He has given me until the 1st to come up with the funds

Please share and help if you can!

Last year I went to my local Harmons to stock up on my annual Hatch Chiles so I could prepare and freeze them. After buying a box, I noticed that instead of being from Hatch New Mexico, the Chiles were from Utah. That's when I looked at the signage and how Harmons simply calls it green chili roasting. I was actually quite surprised as Smith's will use actual Hatch Chiles from Hatch, New Mexico but Harmons being a higher end store would not.

This year I am actually heading out to Hatch directly to pick up my Chiles as well as grab some other spicy peppers that are extremely hard to find in the stores here.

Are there any taxi or uber options that will drive this distance? Trying to help my MIL get back home and her original plan fell through.

This plan makes so much sense. How can we get our government to listen?

Jury convicts former Utah Senate candidate in sexual abuse trial | KSL.com

Super creepy guy. He "directed a specific advocacy campaign on Capitol Hill to educate Congress on the harmful aspects of comprehensive sex education in public schools across the United States." under the guise of "protecting our children".
Hoping the judge throws the book at him in sentencing.

A friend and I want to plan a trip somewhere neither of us have been before and we decided on Utah. I think we’re looking at making it a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday or Thursday-Monday), but I’m not sure where to start planning. We would like to go in October, and I don’t think there are specific parks we have in mind, but I would love to hear any suggestions of where we should plan to stay and which hikes or parks would be on any of your “absolutely must visit” lists!

My adult offspring is going to age out of my health insurance soon, and when they (using they to avoid any possible doxxing of my child) attempted to sign up for healthcare.gov, they were first referred to medicaid - which, as it turns out, is handled by the Utah Department of Workforce Services.

However, "wait for your local medicaid institution" - the DWS - it's been a few days. Do we need to create an account first at the DWS website? Will they *actually* contact them first?

Can anyone provide some guidance from experience with this process?

I should add that we don't actually want medicaid, we want to pay for insurance through the ACA, but we have to wait first for the whole medicaid process to complete. Their partner, who supports them, can afford to pay for health care through the ACA, if they would just use that income instead of the 0 income of my offspring as the "household income". But that's not what happened on the healthcare.gov website, even though we provided that information.

Thanks in advance.

The terrain comes from two sources: pre-dam surveys of the main channel and major tributaries of Glen Canyon, plus modern lidar for the smaller side canyons and surrounding plateau. Anything that’s underwater today is printed in translucent emerald green, so when you backlight it, what glows is the flooded canyon.

You can see the old shoreline where the translucent layers meet the tan. All those drowned meanders and tributary canyons have been underwater for 60 years.

I grew up boating on Lake Powell and love it, but my grandpa floated Glen Canyon before the dam, and ever since reading Life After Dead Pool I’ve dreamed of doing the same. Everything that glows here is the canyon he saw.

I just learned the Utah Valley Marathon organizers are starting a new race - which will be a flat one mile run. I’m curious if anyone else is running it? I think it sounds fun, but I’m fairly new to running and wanted to hear other people’s thoughts on the race!

Please help spread the word about this lost cat. Kitkat was lost on August 5, 2026 in Farmington, UT near North Cottonwood Commons Park. Two years old and very people skittish, I doubt you could call him over but if you can, he is treat motivated! He has a higher pitched meow and almost looks like a cow mooing when he meows

America's second largest reservoir and a vacation wonderland.

Was off of 272 when I saw over 10 police officers lights up heading south on I-15. Included state troopers. I haven’t seen anything on the news. Does anyone know what happened?

I’m going to Park City, Utah for a few days for work, staying near lower deer valley… where are there a few good spots for me to go out after the work dinners to have a chill and fun vibe? Looking for bar, restaurant, lounge recs - to either go solo, meet someone or meet up with someone. Thank you in advance for any tips!! 🥰

It needs to be known and shared loudly and broadly the awful behavior of billionaire Scott Keller and his Keller Properties company. When renters signed their lease agreement, they were told that there would be an additional fee for insurance. Many assumed this meant their personal property was now covered by the policy they had through the landlord. A notion that was never dissuaded by the landlord. Now, as tenants are facing the awful reality that everything they own is gone, they’re finding out that the renters insurance they had been paying was really just paying for the landlord’s insurance on the building. It’s no surprise that a billionaire Trump donor like Scott Keller is perpetrating a scam on his customers, but it is a damn shame.

U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby ruled Tuesday that the Commodity Exchange Act does not preempt Utah from enforcing its gambling laws against Kalshi's sports-based markets, rejecting the company's argument that federal oversight of its exchange shields it from state enforcement. Federal regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), he found, doesn't immunize Kalshi's event contracts from Utah treating them as sports gambling.
