What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
As of late 2025 the occupancy rate for condos in Austin is 93%. Not great, but far from empty. My kids have tons of high school friends who live in downtown condos. Families might not be their number one demographic but there are lots who like that lifestyle. I lived on Barton Springs Rd for a few years during my kids formative years. Having Zilker Park a short walk away was as fun for them as the backyard we had later.

The Surly Road Cycling Thread
I have the same setup but haven't used it yet, other than the introductory ride. Waiting for it to get too cold to ride outside. Mainly got it because my son started riding and he needs a lot of miles before a bike trip we're taking next summer. I used to ride on a trainer a lot when they were toddlers and I grew to hate it. But it is definitely good training. No coasting, no turns to soft pedal through, no stops at all. Rouvy looks pretty cool. I never used Zwift but the video on Rouvy looks so much more engaging than the Zwift animation. I'm pretty impressed with all the courses they have.

Stepdad kills wife, shoots stepdaughter after argument over MNF
Well it started with being told to wear the matching pajamas for the photo. I'm not saying that's enough, but it's a nudge down that path.

Teardrop campers
I mean it's got to better than a big ass RV/travel trailer made for parking next to 100 other RV's that can't get to any actual wilderness.

Gun to your head: name your favorite book ever
It’s cliche to say but… the mini series didn’t do justice at all. The book is so much better. Nothing wrong with that at all. Solid book.

Gun to your head: name your favorite book ever
Pillars of the Earth. My dad tried to get me to read it for many years and I always pushed back because 1100’s England just doesn’t sound all that interesting to me. But I was so wrong. That book is about the same themes existing today. Good vs evil, rich vs poor, Power-hungry religious bigots vs everyone, sex, betrayal, violence, war… Learning a little history along the way is just a bonus.

For anyone thay wants more than a 4-team playoff
If you’re going to nix G5 then you need to remove them from FBS altogether and give them their own championship. You can’t put them in the FBS and also delete any chance of ever winning it. The remaining conferences should be capped at 8 or 9 teams. You want to bring someone new in, you must kick someone out. That relegated team has to find a new conference. Every team in every conference plays every other team in conference.m. Similar strength of schedule throughout each conference. However many conferences we have is how many playoff teams we have. Conference winners make the playoffs. Nobody else does.

Sazerac. Long day. Finished it in New Orleans.- Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.
I’m a window shade open guy because I like the view. There’s interesting stuff out there. But I also purposely sit on whichever side of the airplane is not gonna have the sun. I sleep on planes all the time. Some blue sky and clouds outside the window doesn’t really make much difference unless the sun is shining straight in. If the sun is shining in anybody’s face, the shade needs to be closed. If it’s summertime and the airplane is hot the shade needs to be closed.- Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.
On board with most of that except #3. I’m not touching your trash you don’t need to be touching my fresh drink. If we’re on a wide body and I were in the middle then maybe. But if we’re talking about a section of three seats the flight attendant reaching in and the window seat reaching out is plenty. Nobody needs to be touching each other stuff right there.- Austin Airport Parking
I see walking to and from the blue garage as an advantage over any shuttle ride to any lot. You do pay for it though.- I have graduated after 20 years
おめでとうございます。さあ、ズボンについた精液を拭き取りなさい。- Citrus Bowl 2025 Game Week Thread
For individual players who are transferring or going to the NFL next year, opting out is completely understandable. But if you’re coming back to be on this team next year, opting out is a really good way to tell the rest of your teammates that you’re just more important than they are. Whether you actually are more important or not is irrelevant, that’s just a shit message to your teammates. It’s shit culture. I wish we made the playoffs. We controlled our own destiny and then let it go. It sucks. Move on. Beat Michigan.- Truck Nuts
I drive Mopac to dry the truck after a wash. That makes it look prettier than any truck really needs to be. - Whatcha drinkin' right now?
