Is anyone experiencing reduced water pressure in SLC?

This started recently where water pressure is visibly lower. No settings have changed. Just wondering if this is a city-wide change to conserve water or something else.

The Mongoose (2026) Massive ear hair magically disappears

OK. This is a silly one, but it made me laugh. In one scene from "The Mongoose" (2026), you can see massive ear hair on Michael Chiklis. A minute later, it's magically gone.

GoDaddy Password Reset Loop

GoDaddy is HORRIBLE!!! Google transferred my domain and sent me an email telling me to add a payment method on GoDaddy. I couldn't log in. I tried the account # in Google's email and my main email address. When I use their password reset, it sends a PW reset email, but when I click on their reset link, it tells me that the reset link already expired even though I clicked on it right away! It then tells me to request a reset link, which then again says expired. A never-ending loop!

I called their phone support, but they were no help. The rep said my domain wasn't listed in the account belonged to my email. He then found an account that listed my domain, but he can't tell me anything about that account. He says it has someone else's name on it.

I submitted their account retrieval, which required me to send a pic of my ID, etc. They tell me they can't help because it doesn't match the name on the account. It's an absolute nightmare! What a hot mess this company is!!!

A drastic shift in how serving is viewed

In every thread, people argue that a minimum wage is not a livable wage or that they wouldn't be able to support a family or afford their own place unless customers tipped. And then, if a customer doesn't tip well or doesn't tip, they are made out to be evil people that don't care about servers' survival. What confuses me is, when did people start expecting serving to provide sufficient income to support a family or afford their own place?

When I was growing up, serving was a job/gig that mostly young people did to make some cash while they still lived with their parents or lived with roommates while they worked toward a career so that they could afford to be independent. This seemed like a logical expectation for an unskilled labor that most anyone can do.

But, today, servers are insisting that they should be making enough money to afford their own place, raise a family, or even buy a house. This is such a drastic shift from what serving used to be.

Servers on this forum tend to misinterpret posts and lash out, so I'd like to clarify that I am not belittling servers. I'm strictly talking about the expectation surrounding the labor and its perceived value that has shifted drastically over the years.

What do people think about this?

Why are we even discussing server wages?

In almost every thread, both anti and pro tippers bring up server wages to defend their POV. A server wage, with or without tips, shouldn't be a reason for a customer to decide how much to tip. A tip is not meant to be a sympathy gesture or financial support. It's a gesture of appreciation/gratitude. You tip because you are extra-satisfied with the service, not because the server's wage is low. Conversely, you tip for the same reason, even if the server is making more money. Customers need not to concern themselves with a restaurant employee's wage and living situation period. That's their own business and responsibility. Let's' leave the issue where it belongs?

FTLOG please stop driving over the median on 700 E!

I see people do this nearly every day, and it's driving me crazy (pun intended). It's not hard to make a U-turn at the light ahead. There is nothing in that strip that's worth doing this for, certainly not McDonald's of all places! Is common sense too much to expect from UT drivers? SMH...

Crash-for-cash attempt in downtown SLC

Sorry that the video quality is not that good, but this guy was watching me approach the intersection suspiciously like he was trying to time something. Sure enough, he started running towards my car. I accelerated, so he missed it. In the rear view mirror, I could see how he stopped running midway on the road, cussed/threw a tantrum, and walked back to his corner. This is a low speed limit road. Definitely not a suicide attempt. Please watch out, everyone.

Help install No Longer Evil on 1st Gen Nest

I am struggling to do this, and I can only find videos on gen 2, not 1. I removed the silver panel, but here are 2 issues I'm facing.

- I can't seem to remove the battery. NLE instruction says to lift it up, but it doesn't come off that way. The connector looks like a slide connector, but it doesn't slide out either. How do I disconnect the battery cable?

- The panel is so tiny that it's hard to see which parts to connect using a tweezer like the instruction says.

If you own Gen 1 and have done this, please share tips. Thank you.

Embalmer Leeroy All Golden (Finally)

I pulled off this combo before, but my Leeroy wasn't golden, which didn't sit well with my perfectionism, so I just had to try again and finally made them all golden! Now I can let this go... I don't know if others feel the same way, but this combo is satisfying to achieve but not fun to play at all. You know the outcome, and nothing to change/modify, so you just wait for the game to end. I don't think I'll do this again.

Easy way to reuse a dust bag

First, I'm aware that the dust bag also serves as a filter and that it is important to replace them periodically. If your living environment is dusty or if you have pets, you may not want to do this.

If your Ecovac is used in a generally clean area like mine, you could reuse a dust bag fairly easily to get a little more life out of it. It's simple and easy.

  1. Pop the dust bag into its full square shape by pulling on corners.

  2. Place it upside down over a trash can and give it some shakes. This causes dust to fall to the bottom, near the hole.

  3. Insert a needle nose plier or chop sticks through the hole, pinch a body of dust, and pull it out. Sometimes, a lot comes out at once. Other times, you may get a small piece. Then occasionally, shake the bag again to gather dust at the bottom and repeat a few times.

  4. Once you pull out most of visible large bodies of dust, give it another shake, and smaller dust particles will fall out of the hole.

The process isn't messy at all. I was expecting it to be and was surprised to find otherwise. This only takes a few minutes.

Zero second turn in Battlegrounds 😅

I know we've had issues with very short turns like 10-20s in BG due to excess animation during combat, and I didn't think it could get worse. I was wrong. Both sides had long animation full of effects, so I was expecting to have little time. Apparently, I was expecting too much. It skipped the turn and went straight to the next combat 🤣 It's so silly that it doesn't upset me anymore. Haha.

It's official. We have some of the worst drivers in the world.

Whenever there is a post about drivers here, some chime in saying Atlanta or Florida is worse. As a former Florida resident, I fully disagree. Bad driving in other states means aggressive. Bad driving here means unthinkable. I never ever experienced this in Florida or any other states. In SLC, I've experienced stuff like this multiple times. Who in their right mind has the audacity to not only drive into an opposite lane but keep driving as if they have the right of way!? They didn't even slow down and came at us pretty fast too. *SMH*

A server flexing on this sub

I thought I'd seen it all until I came across this guy. I have got to share because it ranks top silly posts I've seen on reddit. He claimed all anti-tippers behaved poorly, so I told him that it was very mature to assume that an entire group of people behaved poorly just because their value didn't align with his. He then replied with "Go cry some more broke a$$ chump" and posted his pay info below. The irony is, I actually make far more money than he does lol We have some really bizarre servers on this sub.

Certain restaurants should implement a tip later system

Let me start by sharing a personal story. My friend and I went to this order at the counter establishment. It was his treat. We ordered, and he paid and added a tip. We got our food and sat outside to eat. The food was good until I came across a long blonde hair mixed in mine. Purely disgusting. I went back inside and let the staff know. To my surprise, his response was, "That's not my hair," as he pointed to his black short hair. "That's blonde and long. My hair is black." I was stunned by this response and paused for a brief second in disbelief. He just stood there not offering any help. I had to literally tell him, "Yea, that's not the point. I didn't think it was your hair. The point is, there was a hair in my food, which is disgusting. I can't eat this." I showed him the hair and explained that it was in this sauce. He then offered to make another exact same meal, even though I showed him that the hair was in the sauce. He was going to scoop out of the same container the hair came from! I asked for a completely different meal instead.

As you can see, it was a pretty bad service that doesn't deserve a tip. But, a tip is solicited when you order, not after you receive your food, so they got a tip that my friend left anyway. Personally, I don't tip at a counter order establishment, but if they want to solicit a tip anyway, they should add a QR code on a receipt that gives a customer an option to tip after they have a chance to make sure that their order was fine. This will also reduce wait time at a counter as each customer won't need to spend extra time dealing with a tip screen.

Seeking advice - automate survey response in MS ecosystem

My company uses MS. My goal is to:

- Create a survey that produces separate category scores. For example, it can have category A through D, and the results could look like (A = 5, B = 2, C= 8, D = 10).

- The survey taker enters their email when they take it.

- Set up automation for AI to send a custom responses based on scores (e.g. If score A is > 6, say this. If score B is < 4, send a link to...).

Is MS Forms the best app for this purpose? What would be the best AI setup for the custom response? I would appreciate any pointers.

Thank you,

Servers constant contradictions

Is anyone tired of so many contradicting arguments that servers make? They constantly want it both ways even when it's completely illogical. Here are some frequent contradictions that pop up here.

  • Servers complain that their base pay is too low. They also complain that their paychecks are volatile, depending on which shifts they get and find it stressful to fight over better shifts. Yet, whenever there is a legislative effort to fix it by standardizing their pay by removing tips, they march down to protest.
  • They insist that their job is of high value and skills, yet they let employers pay them as little as possible.
  • They demand respect, but they'd rather keep the system that forces them to wave their tails at customers to get paid.
  • They claim to have high integrity but would rather exploit customers than standing up to their employers or the very unjust system that's subjecting them to the lowest base pay possible.

I wish they'd realize that people will respect them far more if they:

  • Not only accept but advocate for legislative efforts to stabilize their occupation with a stable pay that doesn't rely on tips. Not to mention, this will also fix the ridiculous disparity that exists in their occupation (e.g. A server with 5 years of experience could be making 3 times more than a server with 20 years of experience just because he works at an expensive restaurant).
  • Show enough self-respect to negotiate pay with their employers or go on strike if necessary to fight for justice. Learning how to exercise the right to strike is very important for any occupation: https://www.nlrb.gov/strikes I have no doubt that customers will back you up even.

The issue is not customers being cheap or not valuing servers' work. The real evil is the system that's subjecting servers to a ridiculous base pay that necessitates reliance on tips in the first place.
