TIL Al Unser Jr. had a NES video game made in 1990

Went stumbling through the game list to one of those shoddy third party companies with an ambiguously English name selling retro handheld game emulators which are often seen on Amazon…stumbled upon this very familiar New Mexican name, and just had to find the cover to see what it was about! Turns out the Unsers franchised a gaming deal with Nintendo in 1990! Anybody here ever play it?

Put this on the list next to obscure facts about our home state. 🫶

Corruption at New Mexico Tech

Are there any other former or current NMT students that were not surprised at all that Wells uncovered corruption and was forced out because of it.

I gotta get out of New York

Me, my girlfriend, and our two kids have lived in our hometown in New York our entire lives. Our kids are doing alright, but I just want to set them up for better, and if we are going to do a big move I'd like to do it before they get into school in the next couple of years. That being said my girlfriend and I are financially and emotionally drained from living here and we've always romanticized moving somewhere south west. Can anyone give me any insight on how to go about uprooting everything and taking the leap to move all the way to the opposite side of the country?

Suggestions for tourists

Hi all,

We plan on visiting NM during Presidents Day week - we have two young boys 6 and 3 so will be hitting up a lot of the kid friendly places we saw like the big Zoo complex, children’s museums, etc.

My wife is very much into southwestern art and a big fan of RC Gorman.

Any must sees for us? We’re thinking of spending 3 days in Albuquerque and 2 in Santa Fe.

What neighborhoods are best to stay in both towns? Somewhere lively and walkable with kid friendly activities are ideal. Thinking old town in ABQ and somewhere along the plaza in SFe.

Thanks for any tips!

Where should I go in New Mexico?

I'm moving to the Southwest. NM seems like a great fit because of the open spaces, laid back vibe, nature and sunshine. I would like to avoid abrasive maga areas if those exist. I love cannabis, nature, nerd and art activities. I'm a night owl and very excited about the sky out there, star gazing! I would like to live more rural and private, but within 20-45 minutes from a decent sized city 15k population + with things like a movie theater, grocery etc.. I don't need anything huge. So far around Albuquerque / Santa Fe looks really cool. Also I was looking at Farmington. For those that have knowledge of the state, where do you think I should look or fit? I was also checking out southern CO and mid CA, seems like you can get the same vibe in those areas? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Looking to move in the next month or so.

Are we just ok with this?

If this is accurate, it’s just disgusting and we can’t stand for this any longer. IMO, there are so many things that could/should go unfunded & incomplete until this is resolved. I’m sad for the children and the future. Will we Ever hold ourselves and our politicians accountable?

Crownpoint

Hello! I’m planning a move to NM or AZ this summer. I’m coming aboard as a nurse for IHS. I have offers at Zuni & Chinle (which I’ve posted about here and in r/Navajo). We are planning a site visit soon before we make a final decision. But now I have an interview in Crownpoint (which I’ve heard very good things about). Looking for general opinions/advice to help deciding between these 3 areas. We’ll be moving with 3 young kids. TIA!

APS Virtual School Choice Fair Thursday, 5-6pm….safety for students and parents?

VIRTUAL SCHOOL CHOICE FAIR THURSDAY, 5-6pm - see links below.

EDIT: Virtual schools are a great alternative for immune-compromised students, those who have been bullied, and those who require more personalized instruction.

I always advocate for due process, probable cause, and identifying illegal search and seizure which students learn as part of Constitutional study.

It’s the parents at risk. Es un arriesgo para los padres.

Let’s protect our families and students. Register your student to study online if immigration officials make pick up/drop off dangerous.

APS is having a Virtual School Choice Fair 5-6pm Thursday, January 30. Google Meet links will go live here: https://www.aps.edu/innovation/choicefair

Virtual Choice Fair: January 30, 5 - 6 PM Principals will be available for drop-in visits from the public from 5 PM - 6 PM on January 30, 2025.

Principals will offer three rounds of information starting at 5:00 PM, 5:20 PM, and 5:40 PM.

Visit one or more schools to learn more by clicking the Google Meet links below (will go live on 1/30/25 at 4:55 PM). Recordings will be available after 1/30/25.

Protejamos a nuestras familias y estudiantes. Registre a su estudiante para estudiar en línea si los funcionarios de inmigración hacen que sea peligroso recogerlo o dejarlo.

APS celebrará una feria virtual de elección de escuelas virtuales de 5 a 6 p. m. el jueves 30 de enero.

Los enlaces de Google Meet se publicarán aquí: https://www.aps.edu/innovation/choicefair Feria de elección virtual: 30 de enero de 5 a 6 p.m.

Los directores estarán disponibles para visitas del público sin cita previa de 5:00 p. m. a 6:00 p. m. el 30 de enero de 2025. Los directores ofrecerán tres rondas de información a partir de las 5:00 p. m., 5:20 p. m. y 5:40 p. m.

Moving For Dental Job!

Hi guys!

I got offered a nice job as a dentist in New Mexico and the partner has three practices; I am from Ohio so I’m not really familiar at all with the area haha. The three options are Roswell, Hobbs, and Clovis.

I am an avid cyclist, love to ski and generally active person. 29M and also interested in dating and enjoying a bit of life— I’ll be working four days a week, so I have ample time off!

Please let me know your opinions & what you think is best :)

Cheers!

Thinking about moving to Truth or Consequences? Here’s what it’s like (30 years ago)

This is a promotional tape sent out by the T or C chamber of commerce in 1995. It’s campy, it’s fun and holy moly that lake is full!

New Mexico Public Schools Insurance Authority

Anyone enrolled in a New Mexico Public Schools Insurance Authority plan? Should I go with BCBS or Pres ? Which one has better providers? Aside from general care, my main concern right now is women's health and Gyno (specialty care and procedures)

Gallup Lodging Advice

I do work in San Juan and McKinley County. Usually I make Gallup a day trip but I’m changing my schedule around and plan to stay 2-3 nights in Gallup once a month. I’ll have my work truck and trailer with me. I need a secure, clean, and relatively decent place to spend the night. Air B&B or hotel? What do you folks think. Gallup is not my favorite area and I’m not looking forward to spending several days in a row there but I figure I’m missing the charm and could use some feedback.

Thanks.

Regarding ICE and border patrol at UNM

If you're an international student, DACA-recipient, or are on a visa attending UNM please always have your identification paperwork accessible. My bosses told me this morning that immigration can and will ask for it if they stop you.

As employees we cannot intercept or obstruct an investigation, but we also cannot give out your personal information without a court order because of FERPA.

ICE/Police/etc need ‘reasonable suspicion’ to stop/detain you. If you are stopped, ask if you’re being detained. If not, then you do not need to consent to a search. But you should immediately contact an administrative employee (ex: the Global Education Office). Ask for the number to the general-counsel or public-safety office. They will help you out.

I am assuming this information is the same for other universities in NM as well.
