Woke to see this Life 360 alert. Searched, but so far I’ve found no further info?

EDIT: I’ve used Life360 acct for 8+ years (location sharing and reliable roadside assistance for family members), and today was the first time I noticed the new “alert” feature, so asked a simple question, seeking more info. No call for personal attacks and accusations of fear-mongering. Thanks.

SpaceX alumni behind 1872 are using one of Ohio’s largest seed rounds to build an AI-native factory model for energy, utility and industrial customers, aiming to cut steel fabrication lead times from months to weeks with software, robotics and physical AI.

1872 announced Wednesday it has opened an automated steel fabrication facility in Cincinnati’s Camp Washington neighborhood and secured $15 million in seed funding led by private funds advised from The O.H.I.O. Fund.

Has anyone noticed a slip in quality with their bagged beans? I've been a fan of Coffee Emporium for several years now, and try to swing by their Central Pkwy location to grab a drink and some beans every time I'm downtown for work. The last two bags I've purchased, a winter solstice a few months ago and raven's blend last week were bad. Both tasted like they were very over-roasted. No exaggeration that the raven's blend tasted like an ash tray. The Winter solstice wasn't quite as bad, but still tasted a bit burnt.

Edit: Thanks for all of the info! Deeper Roots is also one I'm quite fond of, but didn't know about some of the other local roasters. I'll have to branch out a bit and give em a try.

Recently got a job with Xavier and looking to move soon. My budget is anything up to 1700/month. So far I have looked in the Covington Area and other parts of NKY which seem to be a little cheaper/better reviews than things close to campus.

Can anybody recommend solid apartments in the Oakley/Hyde Park area? I feel like most of the stuff i’m seeing does not have good reviews such as The Drexel, The Boulevard etc. I’d ideally like to find a place that is safe and with management that is not evil (surprisingly hard to find)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone have recommendations for companies in Cincinnati for gutter cleaning where you’ve had a good experience? I keep seeing Cincy Gutter boys but I’ve heard they aren’t as good. Any help appreciated!

Hey guys I’m newer to this adulting thing and looking for some advice. I currently live downtown Cincinnati and looking to move from my apartment. I make good money (around 3875 monthly). However I have a low credit score and with my current apartment and with my current expenses I can only save about ~120$ a month outside of bills. I’m trying to get advice on how I can find a new apartment. I haven’t looked much outside of downtown Cinci, Covington, and Newport area but every posting I’ve seen they want a security deposit + first months rent which I can’t cover since I don’t currently have savings due to my current situation. Is there a website or Facebook group that has private landlords I could explain my situation too? I’m fine with paying a security deposit I just won’t be able to do it at time of signing the lease. Never missed a rent payment in my life (bad credit from student debt and other miscellaneous debt stuff) been mainly looking at studios and 1 bed apartments around 900-1200 a month. Actively looking to downside but stay close to the downtown area but willing to be flexible because obviously need the change haha.

Hi everybody, yesterday I posted a tin type photo of my husband and myself and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It is a pretty weird photo, and you guys embraced it and celebrated its weirdness. This made me think a little about Cincinnati as a whole, and it's kind of weird. It got me thinking that maybe we should all embrace the weirdness of our wonderful city and maybe even promote our weirdness to the rest of the world. Think about it, we have the real life Hall of Justice, the second largest Oktoberfest in the world, the largest abandoned subway system in America (possibly the world), the Northside 4th of July parade, we are possibly most famous for a radio station that only existed on TV until recently, some crazy architecture, there is just a lot of weird stuff in Cincinnati. What if our city adopted the slogan "Cincinnati, Midwest Weird!" or something similar? We also have an amazing art scene, a great beer scene, a statue of two babies nursing on a wolf that doesn't look too happy about it, we can celebrate our weirdness and maybe even amplify it a bit. I would love to see the city expand the streetcar system a bit but also add a series of aerial cable cars that would go out into a bunch of the different neighborhoods. Imagine going to a cable car station and riding it to a main hub downtown where you could either transfer to a different cable car to go on to another neighborhood or just hop on the street car to get around down town, it would be efficient, fun, and weird! What do you think, should we celebrate our weirdness and increase our weirdness and show off our weirdness to the rest of the world?

Before I get into what I thought of The Odyssey, let me confess upfront that I am a HUGE fan of director Christopher Nolan, this generation's best director right up there with Denis Villeneuve. I loved, LOVED Nolan's films like Tenet (his best ever in my opinion), Inception, Dunkirk, and Memento.

Went to see The Odyssey today at Cincinnati's Cinemark Oakley's XD screen. The movie's running time is just shy of 3 hours. Long story short, I kinda liked it, but I certainly wasn't blown away by it as I was with earlier Nolan movies. Mind you: The Odyssey is currently rated 95% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Would love to hear from others that have seen it. Did you love it? Were you blown away? Or were you non-plussed like I was?

As a complete aside, I must mention that the viewing conditions at the Cinemark Oakley were far from ideal. It seems someone at Cinemark Oakley thought it was a good idea to turn the theater into a freezer room. I mean, c'mon! It was probably 65-66F in the theater

My wife is looking for a new psychiatrist. Bipolar 1 -- so expertise in that area is most important. Her current psych is kind, etc but she says is way too easy on her and she needs to be pushed and "called on her bullshit" (her words). I told her I would ask on here as she doesn't have an account.

Edit: The person she currently sees does her Talk therapy and meds - she will need new person for both unless same arrangement.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions I can pass along.

I’m hard of hearing I can’t hear them or read the signs lol

Where's the best place to watch The Odyssey locally? I don't want to drive 1.5hrs to Indy for the full experience, so what's the next best thing locally?

I unfortunately am a victim of last week's flooding. Despite living up a steep hill and having had my main sewer line cleared out and re-lined only a year ago, I ended up almost 2 feet of water in my basement. My driveway goes downhill into my basement garage. The garage filled up and overflowed into my basement, faster than the water could go down the drains. No help from homeowners insurance and still haven't heard back from the city.

This brings me to my question. Anyone have any idea how much it would cost to waterproof a garage and basement like this? It's probably 700-800 square feet in total.

We're already considering walling off garage but I'm not sure that'll be enough to prevent this from ever happening again.

Did anyone who has waterproofed still get flooded?

New to an EV (Chevy Blazer), and I haven’t installed a Level 2 charger yet. I have a guy that will do it soon, but in the mean time I’ll be relying on Level 1 to trickle charge my car. Will have to do larger charges when out and about until the L2 charger is installed.

What’s the best charging options in Anderson & Amelia area and their rates? From what I gather I’ll need to download some apps for charging. Feeling a little overwhelmed with the initial learning curve of getting an EV but excited for this new beginning.

I want to get back into yoga. Regular accessible not hot yoga. The hot yoga is too much and I havent been practicing Ina few years and wanted to get back into it

I was driving home from a friend's house and heard this emergency siren making this unusual pattern. It's not the constant high-pitch whine of a tornado warning. I've never heard a siren make a sound like this before. It's low, ramping up a little bit then winding down, then ramping back up a little again. It's nowhere near max pitch/volume, like you'd expect for an alert, which is particularly odd.

I tried calling the number on the panel but got no answer, and Cincy311 didn't have any ideas either.

EDIT: this video was taken today, Tuesday the 21st, so clearly not a first-Wednesday-of-the-month test.

EDIT 2: This was well after all the storms passed, I checked the local news sites (WLWT, WCPO) and there were no active alerts left at the time this siren was doing this.

Thank you!

A woman was looking for a small brown Yorki named Charlie early this morning near Mariemont junior high school. Someone reported seeing one with a red bandana in the Frisch’s parking lot and then near Nightingale Dr around the same time.

I’ve searched but haven’t spotted him. Wanted to check if anyone else happened to?

Sorry is this a cruise on the Ohio River? I was walking in Smale and saw this. There were chairs, tables and couches on the rooftop, chairs and tables on the balconies and old people sitting outside. Does anyone know anything? Tell me more

During the Findley Night Market The Collective 513 Gallery had Alex Lippert of Blue Creek Tinworks doing tin type photos. My husband and myself went a little odd with what we were wearing but we love the result! I see people asking about photographers in here from time to time so I just wanted to throw out another option for consideration!

I'm just outside of Cincinnati near Kings Island and Lebanon.

I'm looking for reputable shop(s) to have my car repaired and painted.

It's a 2001 Toyota Echo, and I need a diagnostic for the engine trouble, and an estimate. I also need an estimate for the paint job.

I appreciate any help!

I know deflock exists but curious if anyone else noticed them popping up?

One of the leg/phases on our electric service went out. Half the house has power, half doesnt, AC doesnt work. Two electricians have confirmed this so far. Duke said they checked their side and that it was good.

Our house is about 100 years old and has underground service. I suspect we might need to dig a new service line and move the breaker box to the side of the house.

That being said, does anybody know electricians who definitely do underground work? Im waiting on a quote from one(so i assume they do), one electrician referred me to another who might not be able to even stop by for a week, and i have another one coming by today. I appreciate any recommendations. It's a mess!
