  1. Except his ego got in the way of an economical prop A. He could have supported BRT and a starter system instead he insisted on LRT and a downtown tunnel that doubled the cost.
  2. Have an outdoor sink. Didn’t build it. If you put one in make sure you think through how to insulate the piles and/or how to cut off the water in the winter. Otherwise yours will be a giant pain in the ass just like mine.
  3. Wish they would build something that wasn’t a wide square toe...
  4. PSA: Tecovas free matching belt with boot purchase until midnight tonight.
  5. There is 0 probability that Project Connect get built for the current $7B estimate.
  6. Update on this since I just finished the t-Mobile process. They “trade” value for my Xr was $211 of the $415 total upgrade discount. My daughter’s 7 was only valued at $55 for trade but received a $300 credit. Honestly wouldn’t have pulled the trigger on the Trades just for that amount but received an additional $200/line as a 15 yr+ customer. So my effective price is $384 for my 128 gb 12 pro and $379 for her 128 gb 12. Catch is to get the full amount have to agree to 30 months of bill credits.
  7. Most carriers are offering upgrade deals for new or existing customers. T-Mobile is varying based on the age of your trade in. I’m sure they are subsidizing; from their standpoint they are locking you in for 30 months since they are giving you a billing credit. That’s why you can get more from them than Apple.
  8. JW Dant is an under appreciated bottom shelf bottle.
  9. Gonzalo Barrientos is a guy that should be squarely behind this. Spoiler: he’s not. https://voicesofaustin.org/lettersfromleaders/
  10. My firm looked at some new office space that had the benefit of being walking distance from a major transit center. We passed because we didn’t feel it would be safe for our staff to walk past the tent city and related shitstorm between the transit center and the office.
  11. That’s what Houston did in the 1990s. They started a BRT system that is actually used by the community. Last year they passed a regional bond to expand their BRT. For about the same total dollars they are building a system that will serve a community 10 times the size of ours because they went with BRT not LRT and aren’t building a tunnel as a vanity project.
  12. You highlight the Green Line, which is an excellent example of the problem with Prop A. That line serves eastern Travis County. 80%+ of the ridership will be from outside city of Austin. Why are Austin taxpayers paying for these improvements?
  13. I live in D6. Don’t forget that Zimmerman won this district 4 years ago. A lot of people out here pissed about “defunding” the police and the idiocy of Austin’s homeless policy. And while I support Jimmy they’re not wrong.
  14. Bullshit call but it’s not like we were gonna keep them out from the 2.
  15. Concur. Never a fan of the original but Private Select is delicious.
  16. Actually they do. The research budget for the TX Transportation Institute is 90% or better funded by TxDOT. And if TxDOT ever tries to steer money elsewhere the Aggys in the Legislature step in.
  17. Waiting through a signal to then hit a red light at the next signal half a mile down the road.. again and again. The technology exists to synchronize those lights and set up a green band for drivers at a certain speed so this doesn’t happen.
  18. Anyone have experience with Ferrini boots? https://ferriniusa.com/
  19. Scroll to the bottom of one of the emails and hit unsubscribe. Took care of it for me.
  20. Did you move walls or otherwise change structural loading? Did you regrade the yard, put in sprinklers, or otherwise change the drainage?
  21. About 20 people bought it all so you will have ample chance to purchase on the secondary market like the rest of us, if that’s your thing.
  22. So is this sold AT the Longhorn Steakhouse?
  23. Old Forester Rye make a dang good Boulevardier. That is all.
  24. Oddly, I cannot get the feed via Apple box on the tv bit it works on the app on my iPad.
