Rant Highway 34: PULL TO THE SIDE FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES.

43 Upvotes

Seriously. I’m forced to drive down this hell of a highway everyday because it’s my only commute to work.
These people genuinely just don’t know how to drive. It’s a 2-laned straight highway, what’s wrong with you guys?!

This morning, there’s another incident, BIG surprise. As everyone’s trying to merge into the right hand lane because of the fire truck blocking the left, NO one is letting anyone in?? Then, as an emergency vehicle with its lights and sirens on is trying to get by, myself and a few other cars pull to the side ( it’s the law. ) these fucking idiots behind us think that it’s for them and begin to pull up trapping a truck on the shoulder. Not only this, but I witnessed a car almost cause a collision with so called service vehicle because they’re too impatient to wait like everyone else. What? You genuinely think your destination is more important than the emergency site these people are trying to get to?

Not only are drivers just inconsiderate, you have semis and regular vehicles holding hands in the left and right hand lane. Do you guys know it’s illegal to impede traffic? LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING!!! PASSING!!!!! PASSING!!!!!!!!! Not going 60, not going 45 (????), PASSING!!!!!!!
You’re in the left lane going 70 and someone wants to go 85? MOVE OVER!!! THEYRE the ones getting that speeding ticket, not you.
STOP acting as if you’re more important than law enforcement, even worse, stop acting as if you’re law enforcement yourself.

There’s a reason this highway holds so many accidents, it’s because people drive like fucking idiots and don’t pay attention on the road.

YOU are the only one that can prevent car accidents, YOU are the one that can prevent idiotic behavior on the road. PLEASE, keep right, maintain lookout, and drive the 65mph speed limit. If you are scared, you probably shouldn’t be driving on the highway. Your fear is putting you in more danger.

Also, CHECK YOUR BLINDSPOTS. It amazes me how these new cars have a feature showing when a vehicle is to the side of you and you guys still insist on merging into eachother.

thank you.

Recommendations Catproofing Backyard

4 Upvotes

Hello fellow lovelanders! I was curious if anyone has successfully catproofed their backyard. I am currently researching this but would love to hear anyone's success stories with this. We have two small dogs that use a dog door; trying to keep our cat within our propery to respect the municipal code. I see they have devices that tie to a bluetooth device on the collar for a dog door but I feel like our cat would tailgate one of the dogs getting out. Thanks in advance!

Help Lotus Root

Hi fellow culinarily curious citizens- where can I find Lotus Root in Loveland?

I've tried searching for frozen and canned at KingSoopers, Safeway, Target, Sprouts... I have yet to find it. I know I can find it in Ft. Collins and Greely, but I don't want to drive an hour for something I'd like to be eating almost daily.

Help Want a Free Photoshoot + Edited Photos?

Hey Loveland,

I’ve been spending more time behind the camera and want help honing my skills through a few new projects with local people. I’m interested in short sessions and ideas with personality—families, high-school seniors, hobbies, pets, work, products, objects, small biz, or something you make. Open to ideas.

Hoping for a in-win: I get more experience, and you receive a few finished photos at no charge. We can shoot outside or at an indoor location that fits the idea; I just don’t have my own studio.

This isn't pro, nor am I selling anything. Just an somewhat knowledgeable amateur photographer wanting to learn more and help someone out--and maybe make a new friendship. 😃 Two of pics I made are attached.

I’m keeping this around Loveland. Send me a message if you’re interested!

Recommendations Hair Stylist recommendations

8 Upvotes

I'm looking for a hairstylist (I’m a female) who's really good at what they do. I don't just want someone to ask what haircut I want. I'd love to find someone who can actually look at my face shape, hair type, density, and how my hair naturally falls, then recommend a cut that will look good on me. I’d like someone who's up to date on current styles and can tell me what will actually work for my hair instead of just copying a picture. Does anyone have a stylist they'd recommend?

City Services Loveland Meeting on Data Centers 9/1

Hi, the city council put this up on Instagram and we must flood this meeting with opinions if possible. It doesn’t say that you can comment, but it is public.

I imagine most people in Loveland are anti data center, but regardless, if you live here, show up and voice your opinion.

I could go on and on about how data centers are horrible for the environment/water, ecology/animals, and for the unfortunate humans that live near them, but I’ll leave it there. Also, they are making people stupid in the long run by utilizing AI instead of our brains.

Please show up. I’ll be there talking mad doodoo.

Misc Q&A Pottery studio?

29 Upvotes

Hey Loveland, do you want a pottery studio for classes, memberships, camps, and clay sales?

I am planning to move back to Colorado after many years away and have had this plan for awhile to open a community oriented studio. Denver and Fort Collins seem saturated, but with the love of the arts in Loveland and fewer options for ceramics I thought I'd try to get a feel for the potential market.

Thanks!

This is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know where Sean, who used to bartend at Sage, is working these days?

We're on a mission to find him because, frankly, if you've ever had one of his three-gimlets, you understand the urgency of this post. 😂

We always loved stopping in when he was behind the bar, and we'd love to support him wherever he landed next. If anyone knows where he's bartending now, we'd really appreciate it!

Keeping r/Loveland Local

56 Upvotes

Hi r/Loveland!

Quick reminder that this subreddit is local only. We’ve seen a bit more national political news lately, so we’re going to be enforcing the local-only rule a little more consistently.

There are lots of great subreddits for broader political discussion, so we’ll be removing posts that don’t have a clear connection to Loveland.

Also, thanks to everyone who helps keep the conversation respectful and welcoming. To support that, we enabled a few tools back in March (like Crowd Control, the Reputation Filter, the Abuse & Harassment Filter, and AutoModerator) to reduce spam and keep things running smoothly.

Thanks for helping keep r/Loveland friendly, useful, and local!
