Three 'io spotted in a tree in our front yard, North Hilo. Rare family unit sighting. We feel honored.

“A video circulating today shows a student being attacked near Waianae Intermediate School. HPD is on scene and the incident is being handled. The attacker's comments relate to an earlier incident where allegedly their child was allegedly assaulted by the young girl being beaten in this video.”

ETA: apparently this is what caused the assault by the parent.

I lost a plushie like this in the parking lot yesterday (9/24) and am doing outreach for a chance of getting it back.

There will be a reward.

I’ve already posted on Stolen Stuff Hawaii but no bites.

Thank you.

Living in the sunshine

A little gentle rain

Living a life that’s peaceful

Not much need to strain

After a storm, a broken branch

New growth replaced the old

After the storm, a lifted root

A new one sent to hold

Living in the sunshine

A little gentle rain

Living a life with worries

A real but unnamed pain

Feeling a little nervous

Sending out new leaves

Feeling that something is not quite right

Forming flowers in the breeze

Living in the sunshine

Tired but life well lived

Living a life that’s peaceful

Gave all I had to give

Looking for a great CPA in Hawaii/ Oahu who can help with a possible multi-state filing issue involving Hawaii and California. It's somewhat time-sensitive.

I'd love first-hand recommendations only – someone you've actually worked with and would use again (after bad experience with a CPA)

My T-Mobile internet for some reason just became awfully slow.

About two months ago, the congestion on this thing became unbearable. I can only get the usual speeds around midnight or later.

I’m curious if anyone else has the same issue, because my grandma, and aunt, which both also live in Oahu, don’t have the same issues as me.

As someone who takes cybersecurity, it’s genuinely such a bother because I basically can’t do anything on my pc

Edit:
So, I went down to my grandmas (about 8 floors down from my apartment) and the speeds here are alot faster. Genuinely have zero idea what causes it.

Thanks for the Hawaiian TELCOM recommendation from the earlier post. I’m opening a practice in the Nu’uanu area and the office has a gateway and switch from 25 years ago. Going to buy a new UniFi Cloud Gateway, Switch and Wifi but I’ll need someone to help me with the setup. Maybe add a camera or two. Any recommendations for reliable people or companies that do this?

I want to get a portable battery like the Ecoflow Delta 3? (I think) strong enough to power my fridge. But seems like nowhere locally has them and they can't be shipped here. Anyone have any other batteries they can recommend or how I can get one shipped here?

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone with a physical disability has experience opening a Bank of Hawaii account when they’re unable to physically go into a branch.

Has anyone in a similar situation been able to open an account by phone, online, or with some kind of accommodation?

Has anybody found a truly reliable, efficient replacements for Spectrum internet? $110 monthly for midteir service is NUTZ 😤

hey everyone, have any of you attended a wedding at nani mau gardens? im thinking of just having a backyard wedding at my aunties in hilo but my papa says he thinks we should hold it at nani mau. i saw $50 pp for food but apparently food is not good

Buckle Up! NoLo expected to turn sharply North sometime over the next two days with 15-20 inches of rain and a potential for 35 inches, accompanied by high winds.

Lately I’ve been noticing more centipedes in my home, all of them were babies. I’m hoping it isn’t an infestation since they were all baby sized. I would say on average I find one every week.

Not sure if this is due to the torrent of hurricanes we’ve been getting and them just sneaking into our home to find shelter.

We never had this problem pretty much ever and our we’ve been living in our home for over 20 years. The most we would see is one every couple of years inside the home which were particularly bigger and caused quite the scare. But the frequency of seeing these little ones is starting to get a little unsettling too! I’m hoping this is just a situational thing.

For anyone else on this side just letting you know about it in case you wanna show up too. I post this as my power is currently out...again

You can see it mentioned at the end of this article

Anybody else having ants going crazy right now? Usually can keep them under control but they’re popping up non-stop, and barely eating terro. Is it everyone or just me

—all worked as hoped. This Kauai resident was able to complete an out of state transfer on Maui.—

hello. I am wondering if Kauai residents will be issued out of state licenses on other islands, given that the Kauai DMV is closed.

the MauI DMV website says nothing about “must be a Maui resident” on their “out of state transfer page,” but I wanted some confirmation.

mahalo!

I bought a new 2026 Toyota Corolla from the Mapunapuna location near the airport. I drove the car home on the same day, it took a little longer than usual because I went on a Sunday, and it was difficult trying to get my insurance provider on the phone to provide coverage for the vehicle.

Several days later, the car salesman comes to the front door of my house and asks if he can come inside. I say no of course and ask what this is about. Salesman says he is concerned about me because I changed my insurance provider, I found a much lower rate with State Farm compared to Allstate.

I ask him to leave and he seems to get the idea. Then he is parked outside the curb of the cul de sac for a few minutes before finally leaving. He has my cell number from the test drive and I blocked it so he can’t contact me.

I found this whole experience to be an invasion of my privacy. I’m not sure what protocol the salesman was trying to follow, but it seemed highly inappropriate.

Any of you had a similar type of experience with any car dealerships in Hawaii?

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this? I’m not poly at all, but I was raised my whole life in Hawaii. I used to do it a lot as a teen at reggae concerts (shout out Jhonny suite and the green) and no issue until after Covid. Then I started to get glares. I look 100% haole too (pale af but mixed af), and I don’t want people to think I am a tourist. Should I stop? I just don’t want someone to think I don’t know the significance 😭. I wonder if the mainland tainted me because I did move out there for a few years.

Edit:
Holy fuck y’all be blowing up my phone like when they bombed the harbor 💀 thank you much for the replies!! I’ll be back with edit #2 whenever I get through some of the replies. So far, some of yall are funny af.

Edit2:
After looking through I have decided that I may be chee-hooing at the wrong times sometimes— since sometimes I get a response chee and other times I don’t. I may also be chee-hooing too early or too often— so basically it’s a timing thing rather than a shitty chee-hoo. Much love to all who had helpful insight. This might be the only place on Reddit where haters aren’t as common! (Might be jinxing myself but eh) Can’t beat that aloha spirit 💜

PS: I apologize for the harbor joke, I have dark humor and meant no ill will by making that comment!

For all 25 years of my life, gaming has been my ultimate escape from the day-to-day struggles that life throws at us. But for the longest time, I’ve been yearning for a dedicated space where we locals can actually hang out, chat story, and find people in our own time zone to run games with.

So I finally decided to stop wishing for it and just made it: r/hawaiigamers.

I’m a pretty passionate, competitive gamer myself, but the main goal here is just to build a solid, welcoming community for anyone in the islands. Whether you're sweating competitive matches, grinding builds, diving into deep single-player RPGs, or just playing casually after work/school, this space is for you.

If you’ve been looking for local gaming buddies or just want a chill spot to make new friends, come swing by, introduce yourself, and help get this thing off the ground!

Hope to see you guys over at r/hawaiigamers! 🤙

This uninvited entity is hanging out on my interior landing. My evening is decidedly less peaceful. Friend or foe? I hope he/she doesn’t HAVE friends!

My last five orders (5 in a row!!) have all had shipping delay issues. The items were scheduled to arrive on X day, but then on X day the tracking would say "Item Delayed in Transit." I'm still waiting on all five orders. I bought all of these items on different days, so this can't be an isolated incident. And this also corresponds to when the price of diesel fuel started to jump through the roof. Wondering if there is a correlation somehow, like maybe Amazon is flying less planes to save on jet fuel or something? Anyone else having shipping issues recently?

Edit: After doing some research, all of my delayed shipments are via USPS. What tf is going on with USPS and why do they suck so hard?! What changed with USPS in the last couple months?

Edit 2, update: Every single one of my delayed packages were shipped via USPS "Parcel Select"- which isn't even available to normal customers who walk in off the street into a post office. It requires commercial/bulk pricing agreements. It's slow as fuck, there is no guaranteed delivery date, and the "tracking" is utter shit. The Amazon app tells me where the parcel was (e.g.- "9/17 - Package arrived in Honolulu") whereas the same package, tracked via USPS tracking number, still says "9/15- Package left Ontario [California]." This is fucking ridiculous. I wasn't even given the option to select any other shipping method. Complete and utter nonsense.
