    I was just 10 years old, but my family helped evacuate a bunch of horses from the stable we kept ours at away from onion creek. Another place down the road didn’t move all theirs and some drowned in their pens.

    Yeah it seems pretty anachronistic at this point. A relic of a bygone era when you’d work for the same company for 30 years.

    something technical for undergrad and an MBA

    great, thanks for the explanation

    I figured the Fed pausing would be good for the rates, why did it jump so much?

    How do you attack the 335 tite effectively? Feels like you have to be able to attack the edges with wide/outside zone and be able to play action off of that. It takes patience and precise execution We’ve been average at best at getting much push in the run game and ewers is still inconsistent in his delivery so we’re often in 3rd and long where the flyover defense is at its best

    Yeah when the Fightin Texas Aggie Band marches in you really get a rare glimpse of what the Parisians must’ve felt like in 1940.

    you think 240k household income is average?

    IDK, that play at 1:39 where he ran down field 60 yards doesn't give off 'I don't like football' vibes to me

    aren't student interest loan rates fixed? Why would they go up?

    Yeah I've noticed pretty widespread over predicting of the temps from local sources. June at ABIA doesn't seem as hot as they made it sound like it was going to be during that heatwave: https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/tx/austin/KAUS/date/2023-6 Obviously it was still miserable with the heat index, but they made it seem like it was going to be over 100 on a lot of those days from mid-month on

    I think I remember his part in the Chernobyl mini series

    Thanks man. Realistically we wouldn’t be doing this until for 2-3 more years if we’re being honest with ourselves, but when the heat index is 115 you start day dreaming about gtfoing. Whenever we do pull the trigger I know who we’ll be working with on the next mortgage.

    when do we think house prices will start going back in the Austin metro? We bought only a year ago in West Buda (thanks Wulaw), and it is quite nice and we've enjoyed living here so far...but idk if either of us can take too many more summers around here. This is all quite hypothetical at this point, but if we were to sell right now we would lose money, seeing how we bought right before the rates turned everything over. Just wondering how long the experts around here think we have before we start to see things go up modestly. I'm sure rates going back down is a big part to play.

    The Village Buttery is the best place to get lunch in Ruidoso. And their pies are insanely good.

    I don't know if it has already been brought up, but I think dating apps make up a large part of the problem for younger generations. I am very thankful I never had to deal with them. They encourage only giving somebody a cursory glance before making a decision. It is more like a job interview process than a romantic initiation. Interactions are so transactional and disposable if you don't stand out immediately you get no matches, which would really hurt someone who might be physically unremarkable but has a lot to offer in the personality/smarts department. I know they have worked for people, but I just feel like it is overall dehumanizing and antithetical to how humans have been finding mates for centuries.

    we get it, dude

    I personally don't think this will amount to that much. Frankly I think too many people are addicted (myself included) and there won't be a large drop off of people who have the willpower to stay away just bc they have to use a worse mobile app.

    Based on Huffman's post a lot of the mod tool issues will be remediated. Granted, he hasn't really earned the right to take him at his word, so we'll see.

    I also agree with all of this. Reddit as a company has always been an unserious, poorly managed mess (much like Twitter in all its iterations. Elon is destroying it but it was never going to survive with Jack at the helm either). It grew in spite of its founders and subsequent leadership.

    I'm not really sure what people expect. The only way social media sites make money is via ad spend, and if a huge swath of your users aren't being served ads, then it is never going to be profitable. That it should be expected that 3rd party apps be allowed to pull data for free that Reddit pays to store indefinitely is kind of ludicrous. On the other hand, their API pricing model is steep for its use case, since an app is having to make a call for every single post/comment.

    this cell popped up right over the spot in the spot that needs it the most

    But don't you think it wouldn't be stigmatized if it didn't suck so much? If it took half the time to get downtown than it does sitting in a car, I'm pretty sure folks would stop caring how poor they look passing all the schmucks in traffic.

    sounds like both of those situations would be solved if there was actually BRT

    that was a fun 40 minutes heading down SH 130 when that storm came through. Very heavy wind and rain. Though some people made it more dangerous by going 30 mph when 60 was more than slow enough
