    We used to do a Burnet Road dive crawl for a friend of mine every year on his birthday.  Buddy's Place, Ginny's Lil Longhorn,  Poodle Dog, and Lala's.  Originally he rented a bus for all of us, then later we realized we could just take the #3 the whole way.  You've never seen folks as confused as the normal bus riders watching thirty or forty late 20s/early 30s pile onto the #3 to ride for 3/4 of a mile.  We also tended to overwhelm the regulars at Buddy's Place but after a couple of years they started expecting us.  Plus, some of us went there pretty regularly ourselves, anyway.

     

     

    Man, is anyone still running the Burnet Road Challenge?

    Well damn. Learned from Reddit. I guess citizen.com is a thing. Anyway, someone posted a video of the body floating facedown in the lake on that site. A crew row boat rows right by with nary a clue.

    Looks like a pay site but you can Explore -> Austin and see the video.

    Maybe the crew row boat is just used to Nicole's BS by now...

    When the citizens and city council demand that you look into burying the lines - even though you know the answer, you’ve told them, but they won’t listen and trust you - you do a study so you have something objective to release to convince them that yes, this is a terrible idea.
    That’s not something unique to Austin. Happens at the Lege, in every city and town, etc. “Why don’t you just resurface all of our roads? And keep all the swimming pools open? And have snack bars in the libraries?” Telling people the obvious - there aren’t enough dollars - doesn’t get them off your back. So, you have to show them hard, objective data. “Repaving all streets will cost $3 billion, and require raising taxes 25% for 10 years - it’s right here in this study.”

    Wish they would have taken this approach for the ProjectConnect.  I mean, really, they should pit the two against eachother.  Would you rather bury the powerlines, mitigating the ice risk, but raising the risk of some dumbass hitting the power boxes on the side of the road while drunk, or Option B, would you rather build a subway to nowhere?

    IF I were on texags I would respond:

    My thoughts on txAgs in general...

    Three strikes--California, Tesla, crappy parking.  Car should be immediately impounded and crushed.

    Just don't key it unless you want to get fired and labeled a left-wing extremist.

    Barrel in the middle of the street, probably the best they could do.  Bicyclists of course have their own set of rules.

     

    Everyone loves a good story with a happy ending!

  7. Wife parking is no joke.  I always park next to a curb if ever possible.  Even my kids say it (your half as likely to get door dinged if you park next to a curb!).  She drives, it's time to nose that bitch in and park between two shitty ass late models who've never seen a car wash.  Granted, in our area, the worst cars to park next to are Lexus' and large SUVs driven by Lululemon clad housewives, she still finds a way to come home with a new though-the-paint door ding monthly.

    I'm not that hairless, but I'm also 6'5" and regularly get zapped from ceiling fan pull chains, a whole lot more often that I like...

     

    Do you live in a 1960's cottage?  Did they forget to ground the fan?!?

  9. It's not just homelessness, it's been seen everywhere.  Basic policing in Austin has demonstrated time and time again to be reactive policing rather than proactive.  Traffic enforcement, what's that?  Thefts?  File a report.  You don't want to believe the DA and CA's approach since 2020 has had any effect on APD policy and behavior?!

    At some point the people who care the most about this will stop giving the police department a pass on the issue. The DA and County Attorney are a problem in other areas but the camping problem is mostly a police priorities issue in my opinion.

    Police are prioritizing things that get prosecuted.  It's hard to hang a banner on the wall for most arrests that never go to trial.  There's a point where leadership at APD says, don't worry about <insert low level offense> arrests / tickets, as they all get tossed.  Focus on XYZ instead.  Again, at the end of the day, if you keep arresting people only to get the charges dropped, you don't earn the department any money, and waste everyone's time.

  11. Wife goes ballistic if her tank ever drops below 3/8ths.  Granted, her SUV is roughly 225 to 250 a tank when driving around town.  But if it ever hits the "50 miles til empty" warning, you'd think the market just crashed or something.

    My truck, OTOH, gets about 500 to the tank, and I prefer to get the tank drained down to about 2-3 gallons left before refilling.  That said, neither of us play that BS game of making the other drive it to the gas station on E.  Hell, even on vacation she gets nervous under 100 miles left on the tank with gas stations every 2-3 miles.

    Holy mother of Jesus.

    It began with a build your own pizza from Subway. 





     

    Avatar and post check out.  You frankly could have left it at this and 95% of AI engines would have perfectly told the story just as it happened.

    My daughter once poured a bottle of synthetic deer urine down the air induction vents of a guys car. He was a racist, misogynist, pig, so I applauded her creativity. 

    That's no way for her to refer to her own father!

    Cant tell if aggy or not

    Is the Landcruiser the official vehicle of red ass aggy?  Douchebag neighbor drives one with custom plates on it, too, and the shitbucket is basically rotting on the curb after he got a new one.
