  1. 2 criminal trespasses last year. Felony Aggravated Assault of a Public Servant in 2019, along with an evading arrest. Served a jail sentence for "Assault Causing Bodily Injury - Feet." First I've heard of that one...
  2. Not one comment with "surprised it wasn't a Mustang" on the thread?!
  3. Ask your husband, he should know.
  4. Every perk of "New Austin" is nothing unique to Austin. Breweries, wineries, live music, decent restaurants, all these things are popping up in almost every town with a decent sized population. Breweries are sprouting up left and right, and are currently experience attrition due to oversaturation and people switching from beer to other alternatives or not drinking. Seems like local restaurants are overtaking the chains left and right, too. As good as we are locally, we still don't have a ton of great James Beard winners, nor do we boast a single Michelin star in the city. I would say your experience is more of a post-covid culture shift versus an Austin awakening.
  5. This seems to be a rare occasion where the person included SOME context. But North I-35 and 290 is MUCH easier to understand. The fun is when they start throwing in the direction of traffic AND section of 35: Southbound North I-35.
  6. I need to check the anode rods for sure. And considering switching the drain valves to a larger ball valve next go-round to help get all the sediment out during the draining process. Tanks are old, through, were in the house when we bought it, and likely around 7-10 years old now. Living on borrowed time. /hijack
  7. I'm just going to throw this out there, but you could search for homesteads in the 78701 zipcode vs non-homesteads in the same area. I'd bet you there's not a ton of HS exemptions.
  8. Don't disagree. And on top of that, they have changed the dimentions of the larger water heaters, so you can't put a 55 gallon tank in the attic since it's squattier than it used to be. And don't forget, the sediment in the tank that can't be removed easily adds another 50+ lbs of crap you have to haul down from the attic. Unfortunately in our case, they put them up there because there was no utility closet in the house, and the garage wasn't an option.
  9. And the good french fries, not the new crap ones.
  10. When people on the radio or TV state "there's an accident at I-35 and 290" but don't clarify which part of town they're referring to. The 290 and 35 intersection NORTH of the river, or the one SOUTH?
  11. You're wrong on this one. We have attic water heaters, and they still need the water flowing through the cold side to prevent them from freezing up, too. I try to run both if possible, but at least one faucet on either side of the house is running the hot side. Granted, we're in central Texas, so our building codes don't require the same amount of forethought in plumbing they use up north (WH in the basement, insulating the supply and feed lines, etc.)
  12. Here I figured on of your first boats was a life raft on the Titanic...
  13. I was waiting for the boom at the end. If I'm that guy, I'm parking my truck a mile away before I try to do anything.
  14. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/woman-charged-with-impersonating-officer-robbery-theft
  15. *suspended city manager I'm amazed they leaked that video, to be honest. Seems like he's going to get canned, and the leaker might be hitting the unemployment line with him.
  16. That thing better float, fly, and fu__ for that price.
  17. Little Biodome-esque...
  18. But they were middle eastern... Wrong-racially motivated?
  19. Hopefully John Krinjak knows a few good moves...
  20. A plumber once recommended this stuff: Dump some in the sink and add some boiling water, but don't just flush it down the sink. You want it to stay in the P-trap for a bit before you flush it down.
  21. Now, break up the spending by department, if you want to get into the weeds here. Homeless services, Arts and Entertainment, etc. We spend more money on the icing on the cake rather than the actual cake itself. We need to ensure the basic necessities of a community are handled properly (Austin Energy and their tree trimming, road maintenance, water infrastructure maintenance, trash service, city sanitation workers, etc.) before we start throwing money at shit like tax payer funded cultural museums, DEI initiatives, investing in climate change, etc. Hell, even building trains that serve a SLIVER of our population while alienating most the rest is a poor stewardship of our tax dollars. The fact that the city has that much debt PER CAPITA, compiled with the county debt per capita, state, and national debt is what's going to drive us into the shitter in a generation or two, and as long as we have this current mindset where we'll just print money or tax everyone, we're doomed.
  22. Now why do you have to beseech the down syndrome folks. Calling ACC aggy is even an insult to aggy. The next few posts sure seem to support your theory:
  23. Something something downtown Austin post office?
  24. That's locker room talk...
  25. He says thanks! Gotta keep his living room stocked with the latest in model train accessories.
