I think when I go in I’ll take some bottled water with me. Employees give so much already I really don’t want to see them enjoying their own pockets. We’re all neighbors here.

Event Mahjong ?

15 Upvotes

I’m just a girl who has reached the stage of her life where she has her everest to climb. Mine is learning to play mahjong.

I have no experience and only vaguely understand the american rules but I have the tiles to get started! So I am wondering if there are some individuals out there that also wanna struggle and eventually learn mahjong.

Im thinking we can meet at a cafe or bar, preferably on weeknight?

First round of drinks on me!

Las cruces Car/Truck Repair recommendations?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys , I have a 2018 Silverado with an engine issue I haven’t been able to fix or diagnose even after taking it to a shop by picacho. I had always tried to do my own repairs because I’ve been scammed in the past where the issue hasn’t truly been fixed. Do you guys have any recommendations where I can take my truck in town from a good reputable mechanic or shop? Please let me know I’d greatly appreciate it!

You can look through Leasburg Dam’s 16-inch telescope next Saturday

40 Upvotes

If you want to try a serious telescope without buying one, next Saturday is worth putting on the calendar.

The Astronomical Society of Las Cruces says the observatory at Leasburg Dam State Park will be open from 8–10 PM. The planned targets include galaxies, nebulae and globular clusters through a 16-inch telescope. Sunset is listed at 7:28 PM.

I would arrive before 8 rather than showing up halfway through. The event listing does not say whether normal park entry charges or other access details change that evening, so confirm that with the park before driving.

Do not decide from today’s weather forecast. Check the local cloud forecast Thursday night, then again Saturday afternoon. If it turns into solid overcast, telescope viewing will not work. If it is broken clouds, the two-hour window may still be worth keeping.

This is based on the Astronomical Society of Las Cruces listing in NASA’s Night Sky Network.

We have many many miles of bike trails, why do people insist on riding on roads like Burke where there is high traffic and no shoulder?

Is NM Community Solar a Scam?

Thumbnail prc.nm.gov
4 Upvotes

I was excited to look into this program because I think NM could really benefit from a 'Community Solar' program. In other places where it's been successful at lowering bills and helping neighborhoods avoid total blackouts from grid failure, it has involved subsidizing programs where neighbors can help neighbors to afford rooftop solar and all the solar panels in the neighborhood and their batteries are connected so they sort of power each other and sometimes even those without panels. I saw a good example on YouTube a couple years ago but didn't bookmark and I swear I'm not making this up.

This program for NM is (if I'm reading their website correctly) just a bunch state subsidized solar farms (horribly destructive to environment) that are hooked up to our local electric utility provider and then we, the customers get... the promise of lowered bills? That just sounds like an elaborate excuse to add power capacity to PNM, or EPE's grids? Help me understand?

Meningitis Is a Horrible Way to Die. Trump Will Make It More Common.

I’m sorry about that headline. I don’t want to make this political but Las Cruces’ health is so important with the university students as well as our own students that this deserves to be known.

Please, just take this in and make your own decision.

“After her daughter’s death, Alicia needed to know what she had done wrong. Where had she dropped the ball? Hadn’t she gotten her daughter all of the recommended vaccines? She remembered very clearly that Emily had gotten a booster dose right before leaving for college—but that was the MenACWY shot, she learned. Emily died of meningitis B—a bacterial infection for which a vaccine had been approved in other countries, including a few miles north in Canada, but not yet in the United States. Meningitis B is responsible for all known college outbreaks since 2011.”

COVID booster delayed

I just called my pharmacy and they told me that they currently do not have any COVID boosters in stock, but anticipated that they would have them in September or October. This, apparently, is a nationwide outage.
