  1. Live near CR 261 and 3405 in Georgetown. Were in the first group under mandatory evacuation for the 500acre wildfire that popped up yesterday near the lake. Were directly north of the fire and it was not looking good last night. Wasn’t sure we’d be coming back to a house today, but the crews working the fire did some insane work out there to get it under control.

    This summer can go fuck itself.

  2. This is such a dope interview. Well worth the listen. So many interesting points but a few stood out to me. 
     
    Every time we have knocked down 5% inflation it was by raising the Fed funds rate above cpi. That’s impossible now. 
     
    There’s never been 5% inflation and been a soft landing. 
     
    he calls recession early to mid 2023. 
     
    overall this guy is just a goat but impressively humble given his record. Allsome. 
     
    Interviewed by one of the brothers that co-founded Stripe, a payments behemoth. Still privately owned 

    The recession is here now.

  3. Looks like Travis County appraisals are coming out.
    My house is up 89% from last year.  Not a typo.  89%.
    Should I protest?  I would have to get them to agree to reduce their valuation by almost 45% to benefit.
    The city of Austin needs to change the Project Connect tax from a fixed number of cents to a percentage of the budget or it's going to eat the rest of the city budget.

    Doesn’t hurt to protest but I wouldn’t expect to have much success given this market

    My folks’ place in bee cave is up 108%. I thought my WilCo numbers were bad. Sheesh

    For those of you who have EV's, how much did your electricity bill go up when you connected your car?

     

    I've barely noticed it. Since this past Thanksgiving, my total charge cost per my EVSE (exclusively charge at home) has been $47 (roughly 1,200 miles added during that time). I'm paying about 12 cents per kWh with PEC.

  5. Highly recommend if you enjoy Deadpool and The Boys. If not then fuck you. John Cena is not as cute as Ryan Reynolds and not the greatest actor but this part is perfect for him. It also has an interesting soundtrack.

    Enjoying it so far. Definitely has the over the top Deadpool vibe and John Cena is spot on casting.

  6. I had a Polestar 2 delivered right after Thanksgiving. MY21, Dual motor LR, performance, plus and pilot. First BEV and I love it. Looked at the Model 3 also but was really turned away with the quality issues with Tesla and the Polestar felt like a true car from the ground up, not a software application first, car second like the Teslas do.

  7. I can’t speak to Pfizer/Moderna combo, but 2500 is super high. I scored like 750 in mid December after second Moderna in April and was scheduled for a booster this week but the Chron beat me to it. My only question is how/if a booster helps someone already at 2500.

    Same question here. Just popped another 2500+ on my 2nd cares draw. Not boosted yet. Last dose was in early February (2x moderna)

  8. 21,000+today.  It's been a big assblast all week.  Hopefully the front coming this weekend blows the rest of the shit out to sea.

    The dry air & strong winds from the fronts cause the trees to blow a major load. Short of a good dousing, a cold front is not your friend when it comes to cedar pollen.
