Anyone have a copy of Witcher 3 for Switch 1? Not to buy, but..

• Upvotes

Hey! Far fetched here perhaps, but I'm looking for someone who has a copy of Witcher 3 for Switch 1, that I may be able to use for a few minutes.

You may be aware of the whole "loophole" of acquiring the Switch 2 edition for free permanently, if you load a Witcher 3 (switch 1 edition), cartridge into your switch.

Sooo ya, I just wanna pop that cart into my Switch 2 near some wifi, so I can get the SW2 edition added to my account.

Edit: The library has a decent queue of holds on this game, and I'm nomadic and will be leaving town in a week and won't be back for awhile! So it's not an option :(

If you have a copy that I can borrow for a few minutes, perhaps we can meet up at the library to do this. I would be super effing grateful! 🙏🏻

Looking for someone to build a custom mount for my grandmother's handwoven wall hanging

Thumbnail

79 Upvotes

My grandmother wove this piece and it's been stuck in storage. I'd like to finally get it on a wall, but it needs a custom mount and I don't know who to hire.

Details:
• 30.5" wide x 107" long, about 20 lbs
• Thick roving, long knotted fringe, stones woven in, and two small wood pieces that need reattaching
• My ceilings are 107" too, so the top ~20" needs to run onto the ceiling and turn the corner with a rounded bend, not a sharp fold

If you make armatures or mounts for fiber work, or know someone who does, send me a quote. Students and recent grads are welcome. Happy to bring it by in person.

DM me or comment, thanks!

What’s your favorite car wash?

13 Upvotes

I really like going through the car wash.

I used to like Hoosier Express on 2nd because they had that car slot machine where you could win a free wash, but they killed it (and they put up a sign saying it would be back soon but it’s not).

New one next to Culver’s on west 3rd is trash. Water World is trash. KB Washworld on 46 in Ellettsville is nice. I try to stick to touch free.

Where y’all going through the wash?

Why is the county health department such a mess?

34 Upvotes

There are countless articles detailing the years of mismanagement the health department has suffered through. I won't repeat all the details here, but here's some background: https://bsquarebulletin.com/health-administrator-fired-plans-wrongful-termination-suit-against-monroe-county/

My question is WHY? Monroe County is home to a semi-respected university with a School of Public Health. The county has money, countless educated people live here and vote and serve on relevant boards and committees. Why, despite all this, has everyone just stepped back and allowed this big obvious slow-moving disaster to snowball? There must be a reason, someone please give me the dirt.

Hey all! I moved to the area with my wife a couple months ago and need to find community. Looking for friends or recommendations for places to connect.

33(m), non-religious, married, have 2 cats and plenty of house plants. I like to paint/do art, play drums, play sports (I don’t watch/follow sports), hike, fix/make stuff, game (Helldivers 2 and sandstorm insurgency have been games of choice lately). I’m down to grab coffee, a drink, have a fire, hike or just hang out

Election Day is Next Tuesday! Get your ballot ready at Vote411 & early vote if you can!

33 Upvotes

We’re one week out from Election Day! For anyone doing last minute research, I know it can be hard to find quality resources, especially on state & local races so I wanted to suggest a great place to start.

To see all the races that will be on your ballot in one place, along with information on the candidates, I highly recommend Vote411.org

It is a site run by the League of Women Voters—a group that has long been a reliable source of non-partisan election information. Every election, they send questions to all candidates to compile into guides for voters—and the overwhelming majority of candidates participate!

Their site makes it easy to find out what your candidates stand for. You simply enter your location to see your custom ballot with information on all of the races. You can read through candidate responses, select the candidates that you like, and when you’re done you can send your finished ballot to your phone or email.

If you are in Bloomington you can vote early all this week and on the Monday before Election Day at 501 N. Morton.

They are open from:
8 am-6 pm M-F
9 am-4 pm Sat. Oct 31
9 am-12pm Mon. Nov 2

If you can’t vote early, make sure you are ready to vote on Tuesday November 3rd & know where your polling place is. (You can find this on Vote411 too!)

Happy voting people! Get out there!

Donating items for children

2 Upvotes

Greetings!! I have lots of baby/toddler items, all nice and in good condition that I would love to donate to an organization that will disperse to those who need it. I have boy and girl clothing ranging from 2T-5T, a freestanding gate system, a crib, lots of toys, etc. I do not want to drop off to goodwill as I do not support their business model and don’t really have time for a yard sale nor am I looking to profit off these items. If you know of anyone who may be able to use such items send them my way as well. Thank you!

Edit: I very much appreciate all the helpful recommendations!!! May you all have the best Tuesday ever!! 😃

Dog friendly bars and social hangouts

0 Upvotes

I have a dog that I like to take out with me. He’s been in The Upstairs a few times before and can handle the noisy and crowded atmosphere very well. I’m a bit timid and don’t approach people very well so I use him as a means for starting conversations and meeting people. I would like to know of some other businesses (if any) that are okay with (well behaved) dogs that are social hangouts.

I use him to help with my social anxiety. He is not a service dog and I don’t claim him as one. He’s just well-trained.
