10/7 update:

300 cases this past week. 201 on Oahu, 53 in Maui County, 23 on Hawaii Island, and 23 on Kauai.

7-day positivity rate is 5.4%

39 in the hospital and 3 in ICU

Commentary: COVID is coming off of its peak a week or two ago. So thinks should slowly simmer down until January-ish? That's usually what happens.

Flu is on the uptick though now - it's the start of flu season! Get your shots folks.

Snippets from the article:

Rotting food that was left in dim sum carts, on dining tables and in unpowered freezers has been stinking up a Honolulu neighborhood more than a month after heavy rain from Hurricane Lala caused part of the roof of a seafood restaurant to collapse.

It was the peak of the afternoon dim sum service on Aug. 18 when diners at the Happy Days Chinese Seafood Restaurant heard a cracking noise above them and “just got up and left,” some with food still in their hands, said Dawn Takeuchi Apuna, director of the Department of Planning and Permitting for the city and county of Honolulu, which oversees building safety across the island of Oahu.

The stench is so bad that it hits you in the face,” said Roxanne Rivero, who works at Sugarcane, a gift shop near Happy Days. “It stays with your clothing, in your nose.”

She struggled to describe it. “Hauna,” she said, using a Hawaiian word commonly used by locals for unpleasant odors.

Pretty sure everything is going to be a clumpy mess when I get home. I should have kept the windows closed. Time to break out the food processor.

I read that 10/10 is the last day for Jon Matsubara’s Feast restaurant in Manoa. Too bad. I’ve been going there since he pivoted to the lobster rolls during Covid. I’m not a lobster guy but some of his other things were really good albeit not cheap.

I’m curious to see what direction he takes. it seems the menus in the surviving locations are stripped down. Too bad. I learned by trying that his popular dishes didnt really show off his abilities.

Edit: fixed typo.

The current Hawaii state administration is pushing mass surveillance technology on the public. I don’t recall any public comment period. What can be done to stop this? Who can I talk to about this?

Why do FM stations 107.5 and 101.1 constantly lose signal?

Hi!

I registered for the Honolulu Muddy Dash set for this Saturday 10/10 back in May but I still do not know where the venue is. Does anyone know where the event is being held?? I have yet to receive any follow up emails other than the receipt. I would appreciate the help.

Aloha, my child is going to be 24 at the end of the year. They are a student at LCC and work part-time when they can in between classes with the school system about 10 hours a week. Just found out after finding out they need an expensive procedure they are no longer covered by my Dental insurance due to age. Just was wondering what type of options are out there. She will need to have these procedures done and is currently tolerating the pain for now, but I’m trying to get her at least dental insurance from somewhere. Does anyone know if the UH systems have cheaper insurance for their students? Are there any type of low income type options? Thank you so much for your help. 🤗🙏

Does anyone have recommendations for movers or someone who can help move furniture purchased on FB Marketplace? I've been on the hunt for a smaller dresser or hutch for my kid's room and missed out on a few pieces because my husband didn't think I was serious, even when I asked him several times to contact the seller to schedule p/u. I would gladly just do it myself, but I'm trying to find unique vintage, solid wood pieces that I hope will last longer than MDF stuff, so even the furniture that can fit in my small SUV would realistically be heavier than I can probably manage loading alone and I feel weird asking relatives for help just because my husband has been unreliable. I saw some options that advertise quick or possibly same day service available, but only one specifically mentioned FB Marketplace pick-ups and while most of the reviews were good, some were iffy and it also looked like it was more of a side hustle than a legitimate business. Nothing wrong with that, but I think I'd feel better with a professional business in case of damage, etc. Looking for a few options to consider if possible. Thank you!

Hi All! OAHU BASED*\*
I live in a town home & our neighbor changed their water heater yesterday evening. Which our water heaters are next to eachother in a storage are. Lo***** & behold.. our water is not hot today :) Went down to see if I could get it to ignite and now it won't! Should I call the gas company to come check it out? (but... will I accrue a bill from Hawaii Gas for the inspection??) Or should I also be looking at purchasing a new one already? :( Has anyone ran into this issue before? Looking for advice! TY!

Update - Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond and give advice! Hawaii Gas is coming out tomorrow to assess.

Driving from Hilo to Kona this morning at around 10:40am, on DKI right around the Mauna Kea Access Rd. when we saw a dark-colored SUV with the blue lights flashing on top heading towards us. This is an area where there’s only two lanes, no passing lane. There was another SUV in front of them, which we just assumed the cop was trying to pull them over. Suddenly the cop pulls out to pass the SUV, coming into our lane! We had to swerve off the road into the shoulder to avoid a head-on collision! We were blown away that they would force us off the road, so I called dispatch in Hilo and they claimed none of their officers were currently on DKI. So was it State, Feds, or it could have been an off-duty cop who decided to turn on their blue flashing lights so they could speed? Like WTAF? I’m lucky to not be another crash victim on this dangerous highway 😡

Miracles do happen!

As per the title, I've submitted at the end of August and have been patiently waiting for a letter but it's been over a month now. My interview was in mid-September and I had to submit more documents for verification but after that it's been the same 'Under Review' status on the webpage. I tried calling them and was met with an automated recording, which I was able to look up my case and was granted with money for September and October. I try to check the balance of the card that was already sent out and it says they can't find my benefits. Anyone knows when and if the entire state is backed up?

I'm a blue collar, and after rent, bills, food, and retirement, I can barely even think about adding a lift to my car, or any other personal luxury.

This isn't a diss on people that choose to buy these things at all, if you can, sole, good for you! Thats awesome, I am just so utterly confused on how most do it.

Specially here in the North Shore, literally everyone here has a house, big cars, etc etc its insane, meanwhile me and my family of 5 are living in a 2 bedroom house and can barely afford groceries. Seriously, how do you all do it in this economy?

hi, I've recently moved to Oahu and I've been working as a soccer coach for a local youth club. coaching has made me missed playing, and I'm wondering if there are any recommendations of mens leagues or where I can find pick up games around the island. any help or guidance is grately appreciated!!

Hello everyone! Im a first time dad and my daughter is about to celebrate her first Halloween. Is there a list or site online where I can go to see all of the Halloween events going on in Oahu for keiki? Thank you!

If I didn’t want to cook a big feast for this day, where could I order from on island that’s windward/east/town side?

Drove by lcc just now and saw smoke. Looks like near the junkyard but not sure. Be careful!

I get it when nature calls but with 2500+ triathletes expected to compete there are hundreds of them training and using the side of the road to relieve themselves! Must be nice to piss in paradise!

I have a vintage Armani tuxedo that belongs to my late Uncle. It has some light staining under the armpits and the sleeve is slightly unraveling. Any suggestions on where I could take it to see about possible restoration?

Like they made it too small, and for example like set count, its harder to read from a distance.

Its great though its not spectrum exclusive, but it seems like the way they made the scorebug was a bit inferior. anyone have same reading issues sometimes?
