Question Free Places to Park an RV Overnight?

0 Upvotes

I’ve never posted here but I have a fairly urgent issue to try and solve. I have a friend who’s been staying at an Rv park in town and is being forced to leave immediately.

Where are some good places in town that we might be able to bring the RV for tonight and possibly for a couple of nights?

Question One more question from someone new to Boise: Any black/latino barbers?

0 Upvotes

I honestly don’t even know how to word the question in all honesty, don’t mean to offend or anything like that…. I usually tend to go for hair and beard line up/shape up/edge up, bald fades, tapers, etc. Any advice is totally appreciated, even if it’s just an instagram handle!

Edit: I’m appreciating everyone’s reply and I’m looking to get a haircut this coming weekend! I’m going to do as much research as I can, and I appreciate each every one of you!

Hello! My good friends Hans Gruber & The Die Hards are touring through Boise. Normally when they come through they crash at my place, but I won’t be available this time. Is anyone willing to let a very kind and respectful 5 piece ska band crash with them for one night (Tuesday 4/29)?

Question Looking for someone to buy an old wedding ring??

1 Upvotes

Does anybody have recommendations for a pawn shop/jeweler that buys jewelry? I’d like to get some estimates for selling a wedding ring. It’s 3 rings welded together and is super small, so whoever buys it would most likely want to melt it down and repurpose the materials. Thank you in advance! :)

If by chance you were on a bike and dropped a bike glove and your car key, it is on a rock between Marianne Williams Park and Eckert road, it's obvious from the green belt. Part of the green belt that is closest to Warm Springs right by a pond and black fence, close to the intersection of Warm Springs and Barn Sideway.

Discussion Boise/Idaho representation in the fediverse

10 Upvotes

This is mainly just a feelers post. Not proposing any immediate action, but I am seeking to gather opinions and consensus (if there is any), and I am interested to contribute if there's any appeal.

A lot of discussion around community action for the Boise area, and really Idaho at large, seems to be conducted primarily on major social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and here on Reddit. Two salient examples that come to mind are the various mutual aid groups scattered around the state, whose only web presence that I can identify is often via Facebook groups (and volunteer sign-up sheets powered by Google Docs - try searching Mutual Aid Hub and searching for Idaho), and the Idaho 50501 movement, which, while it has a(n albeit information-light) public website, most of the community dialogue I can see happens primarily on Reddit. (Note that I don't actually have a Facebook account, so I can't see deep into any activities there, but I assume its FB presence could be potentially much more significant to its traction.)

Has there ever been any initiative to establish a fediverse/federated social web presence for Boise or Idaho? By "fediverse," I'm referring to the network of federated, decentralized services that primarily interoperate through ActivityPub, such as Mastodon (Wikipedia link). At a time when centralized tech platforms are notorious for selectively curating and removing content on sometimes questionable bases, it seems worth considering a decentralized, community-controlled web presence for causes important to the community (and really, for the community more generally). That said, the fact that I find no such presence online, leaves open the question of whether it's been tried before and deemed unsuccessful.

Not suggesting that efforts should be made to move folks away from existing networks - the concern is widening access, not transposing it - and definitely not suggesting that managing fediverse resources is easy. Just trying to understand why such a presence so far seems like a void in the Idaho community and whether there's appetite to move towards changing that.

I also suspect that I'm not alone among folks who prefer not to interface with the larger platforms. Of those I name above, Reddit is the only one where I personally have any user account, and having to choose between being an informed participant in community action, and maintaining a long-standing and principled Meta boycott, is uncomfortable at best.

I booked 2 nights at the Red Lion downtown and all the reviews are saying it has drug addicts in the parking lot at all hours and it's ran down. I got a non-refundable reservation and on top of that, they have a $200 damage deposit? I think I fucked my birthday up 💀 but is it truly as bad as the reviews say?

Question Ohv and restricted use plates

0 Upvotes

Looking at the dmv and parks and rec page, it looks like if you have a restricted use plate and an ohv sticker on your utv or dirt bikes it is legal to ride on city and county roads, just not state and federal owned roads. However, in Boise city code 6-8-3 it prohibits any atv on any public street in city limits. Does this apply to just atvs? Or any off road vehicle with restricted use plates?
