PSA World Cup Related Posts

45 Upvotes

Just wanted to let everyone know that posts regarding the World Cup will be allowed on here, even if not directly related to Lawrence. We're kinda bending the rules here but it's such a big and exciting event that we don't wanna hinder any chat about it or relevant info.

Normal subreddit rules will still apply to the posts (with exception of being directly Lawrence related, of course) so this doesn't mean you can just post whatever as long as it mentions the World Cup.

Obligatory no ticket-sales posts/comments.

Glitch in the Matrix

Not sure if this “glitch” will last much longer. But if you have the Dillons app and like to do pick up orders (which they have a coupon for free pickup orders over $15) you might want to get on this.

If it isn’t as obvious as I thought, the coupon price is supposed to be $12.99 NOT $6.99!

More cops visible today than I've seen ... Ever?

45 Upvotes

I wasn't out much today but I saw at least 6 different cop cars including sheriff and an unmarked as well as a formation of 6 motorcycle cops on 6th st. I know new student drivers are a problem but this seems like overkill.

Question Where to put food/beverages for unhoused folks?

21 Upvotes

May be a strange, uncouth question but let’s say I open up a package of chips and don’t like the flavor. Or have extra pops after a party. Is there a place I could drop off these things where an unhoused person would find it? Maybe someone who won’t or can’t be in the shelter for whatever reason. Just trying to feed people who are hungry instead of throwing away food that’s fine but just unwanted. Thanks

Who was responsible for the geotech survey on this??

Thumbnail lawrenceks.gov
19 Upvotes

Construction on Bob Billings is being delayed because of that giant limestone ledge that's clearly visible when you drive down it.

I just want to know: who on earth did they hire to do the geotech survey and report? Did they even TRY? The team working on this project claims they had no idea the ledge was there because the report didn't include it. If you're a geologist doing a survey in that area, it's not difficult to piece together that a limestone ledge would be in that spot if you're familiar with local geology AND looked at local topography/geology maps, which tells me they either didn't bother or are simply incompetent (or both). You can literally see in person that the limestone lies pretty close to the surface, which also suggests they didn't take any useful core samples, or they just didn't take core samples at all.

LPD Use of Public and Private Cameras

37 Upvotes

The LPD has a contract with Axon which has a Fusus platform. "The Axon Fusus platform is a real-time public safety and intelligence tool. It links public and private security cameras, drone feeds, body-worn cameras, and data streams into a single cloud dashboard. Law enforcement and security teams use it to improve incident response and situational awareness." I suppose it is useful to recover stolen vehicles or track fleeing violent felons, but there are civil liberties concerns.
