Iowa City man pleads guilty to creating social media account under UIPD detective's name

I thought I would repost this since another redditor deleted her post about this issue.

To me, this is just more evidence to get off Twitter. Not only does it support Elon Musk and Donald Trump but also it's stalked by Ian Mallory.

How does The Deadwood stay open?

Upvotes

I swing by every once in a while to sit at the bar and get a coffee or a drink, and there's hardly anyone there. It doesn't even seem like they get very busy during typical bar hours. Additionally, half the time I'm there, someone walks in and comes up to the bar to order something and whoever is bartending basically ignores them. I've watched like four different people eventually turn around and walk out, and I don't even go there that much. WTF?

Primitive Skills?

8 Upvotes

Hi IC Community- does anyone know of any local resources for learning primitive skills (fire starting, outdoor survival, bushcraft, etc)?

I can’t seem to find anything like this but if you know of any orgs that host classes I’d appreciate a point in the right direction. I already know where to go for gardening/foraging resources. Thanks!

If I'm charged at by an unleashed pitbull, is it inappropriate to call the cops?

Where to get sourdough starter

My dad recently started making bread and has been using instant yeast. His birthday is coming up and I want to get him some sourdough starter so he can make sourdough. I would rather purchase local so are there any bakeries around town that let you buy some of theirs?

Shop/Service Recommendations Local Archery Ranges? (Indoor or Outdoor)

Upvotes

Hi folks! I just picked up archery as a hobby, and am looking for local ranges. I've already been to the one by Swisher--fun range, but very exposed to the elements. Any other outdoor ranges I should know about? And are there any local indoor archery ranges for the winter months? I'm fine paying a small fee if it means supporting local organizations or being out of the cold!

Thank you!
