  1. I always just ask the question. If you phrase it “Hey, this is a weird valve compared to most we looked at. Did you know they have a short video on their website for install?” it usually lands the right way. Ditto for measuring and such. Everyone makes mistakes, more eyes helps.
  2. Shouldn’t this include churros for accuracy?

    Dest was a defensive liability all game. It is the manager’s job to do something tactically to help him defensively. Letting him just get exposed all game is 100% on Greg. No adjustments is just par for the course though.
  4. This helps people buy their first house in Austin instead of the burbs. They’ll be small and yet still in line with typical Austin prices. It’s not for poor people. That ship has sailed in this city. I had friends buy a townhouse just outside uptown Dallas a decade ago when they got out of school. It functioned as their starter house. This is the same thing.
  5. Competency. Interesting word to describe an army that can’t win a defensive battle when dug in with a numerical advantage.
  6. Summer said fuck you on the way out the door.

    I turned on the last 10 minutes to watch some truly pathetic soccer.
  8. I was thinking all of this is also reflective of a lack of free/down time for the average person as well. Hard to have peer to peer interactions if you don’t actually see them very often due to work/kids/whatever.

    Hope Bruin is ok. Tons of blood, and was obviously heavily concussed.
  10. @cactusflinthead wait until after 1st rain to add compost? Or try to beat it? In Austin.
  11. It boggles the mind why someone hasn’t taken a .300 Win mag to the transformer located closest to these fucking things. It’s going to happen sooner or later once people get no lubed enough.
  12. We actually air dried some kitchen and bath towels the other day to be nice to those fucks. Goddamn I forgot how scratchy air dried towels are.
  13. That cold front that just arrived in Austin dropped it to mid 90s. I am gruntled.
  14. if it’s on a live wire is not yours or you neighbors job to trim it. AE is like any other entity. They can’t see in your backyard and that hourly worker may have had no clue how to put that immediate request in the system. Get the yellow tag number off the closest pole, call them and they will come out. Waiting 2 months is on you, not them.
  15. 100% this on the trees being trimmed. I called AE about limbs on a line at a job site and they were there and trimmed within 4 hours. The limb on the lines serviced 3 residences, was clearly visible from all 5 backyards that formed the corner, was about 10” in diameter, and had been down long enough that the tree wound had gone grey with UV exposure. How no one had thought this was a fucking problem for months is beyond me.
  16. My mood has improved tremendously.
  17. Your family isn’t known for high standards.
  18. Just our electricity was $320 from Austin Electric for the period between Mid July to Mid August. June to July was 270, and our temperate months are in the $70-90 range. Fuck.
  19. I think if we end up on the hot dry side of a hurricane or two, we have a shot at it.
  20. Just ran 4.5 miles. Lost 5.5 lbs of water. Fuck this.
  21. Kxan said this morning that there are record high temps in the Atlantic. I suppose that bodes well for hurricane season.
  22. Since summer is getting going I'm going to call my shot and hope I'm wrong. There will be at least one major fire in a greenbelt area this summer in the city limits. Just way to many campsites for it not to happen.

    Got the email this morning tickets were still available. Not a good sign.
