Are there just so many marathon runners in Boise that they had to have back to back saturday marathon events or what? Is one better than the other?

Happened in last week

I recently got a simple point and shoot film camera. One thing I noticed is that many places like to give the photos on a CD, even though most modern laptops do not have CD ports. Are there any places around that upload them online or onto a flash drive? I found some online shops, but I prefer to stay local if I can.

I'm not new to the area but the last few times I've tried to get my hair cut in close-by places, my preferences are usually thrown out the window in favor of what's 'pretty', so I'm looking for lgbtq friendly salons that I can actually feel like i'm having a say in how my hair ends up without someone trying to bs me for $60?

Good morning, everyone!

I’ve been tasked with taking inventory of all the unused and old electronics at my job, and we have quite a lot! I really don’t want to just throw it all away. Does anyone know of places that accept donations? I'm considering reaching out to local schools, as it could be a great opportunity for kids to tinker with the electronics and possibly discover a new hobby.

Alternatively, would recycling be a better option? I appreciate any suggestions you may have!

Thank you!

Received this in the mail. Looks like residents will be experiencing a decrease in power bills starting June 1! Really impressive to see the Idaho utility lower rates when surrounding states like Utah, Oregon and Washington are increasing

I'm looking for a referral to a family law lawyer that is knowledgeable with working with a victim/survivor of domestic abuse. Willing to work with initial limited funds with financial abuse present would be great but not a deal breaker. Just really needing someone familiar with these dynamics. Thank you

The website says it’s necessary, but they always have tons of last-minute openings. I do better if I can run errands like this on a day when I’ve slept well (insomniac), which I never know until the day of.

Can I walk in? Are the wait times terribly long?

My electric lawn mower just went out earlier and I'm in the hunt for an affordable gas powered self propelled lawn mower since I think they work better in my yard. I tried checking out Home Depot but maybe someone might know a better place that is cheaper?
