  1. Yup. Spaced out of course, and the outdoor area looked nice. Only weird thing is that you have to use a QR code reader on your phone to look at the menu. I gather that tons of places do that now (we haven’t been out since pre-pandemic), it’s just weird at a nice date spot to have your phone out. We normally have a no phones rule at dinner.
  2. They tend to seesaw those back and forth. The years it is land value it is pretty much impossible to protest, so take your shot at a reduction this year.
  3. Did Rosewood last weekend. Lamb, cauliflower, and tartare. Would recommend. Strawberry tart was nothing special.
  4. This is how you humblebrag.
  5. Our last house we rearranged some interior walls and added plumbing. TCAD went in dry as it was a “major” remodel and classified our home’s condition as the best in the neighborhood. Nevermind we only remodeled 1/4 of the house. in the same spot as you currently. Want to extend a covered patio about 7 feet to add an outdoor kitchen with built in gas line and electric. Which would be 3 trades worth of permits. Honestly not sure what to do, won’t be here forever and want a stress free sale when that happens but fuck TCAD. They really incentivize people to not pull permits, which is ass backwards
  6. This is the crux of my question. To the best of my knowledge all major wireless carriers have pretty similar terms, so is there one I'm missing that is better than the others? It seems like currently if you have any concerns about the provider selling your data as a consumer for example, you're pretty much SOL.
  7. Yeah its not spam, here's a LA Times link, and T-Mobile's T&C were updated beginning of this month.
  8. So I have a personal phone with AT&T and a T-Mobile phone for work. In the last few weeks I've either gotten texts or emails from both providers mentioning forced arbitration being the only avenue if I continue using my device on their network. Realistically I don't think there are many differences in providers, and I would guess they're all selling every last piece of my data they can to whomever will buy it. So why now? I googled and can't find anything news related that would necessitate changes. This arstechnica link is almost 2 years old.
  9. Hail in 78735. Wheee.
  10. I don’t think you understand the concept of karma. But carry on.

    I stumbled upon a bottle of John Bowman single barrel. Excited to try it based on some of the reviews a few pages back.
  12. Just looked at a bunch of Austin breweries on my social media. Putting this on businesses instead of government is a total abdication of responsibility, and going just about as well as you’d expect. I’m going to assume someone gets shot over this before it’s all said and done.
  13. State leadership didn’t kill enough people last week I guess.
  14. How crazy must the drug dog have been around that much cocaine?

    Correct. I didn’t spend that much last year, this drawing was in December and I still had status from the year prior.

    Actually just asked the guy and they’re now doing it every 3 months.

    Bourbon

    It’s once or twice a year and pretty much based only off total spend. I bought a ton of assorted booze for a social event last year.

    I got the email that I have a Blanton’s waiting for me. I’ll take it, but I wish it was something I’d never had before though.
  19. Correct.
  20. The fact that that view is only accessible from a shopping mall might be the worst architectural travesty in this town.
  21. I made the switch to NTTA and no issues thus far (knock on wood).
  22. IANAL. But good to know if they ask.
  23. So where do folks stand on those of us who aren't in 1a or 1b starting to hunt for available spots? Full disclosure I had a friend send a link to make an appointment at Kelly Reeves, which was later cancelled by FHS as apparently the link wasn't supposed to be made public/shared. I'm starting to see spots pop up in more places more often like the HEB and CVS websites mentioned above. Should I (late 30s, no health conditions, office environment job) give it another month to see if restrictions are lifted to general populations? Or at this point is getting shots in arms more important, and I shouldn't feel bad about hunting for a dose?
  24. Just got the text from Austin water that it's lifted for our address in Southwest A
  25. Pretty sure it was in this thread somewhere. Basically someone said buy https://www.amazon.com/FLIR-One-Thermal-Imager-For/dp/B0728C7KND and use it to look for unexpected temp differentials to identify leaks.
