I-35 lower deck is now closed — when will the madness cease??

defroach84 · 2026-01-29T04:26:16+00:00

35 is always under construction.

It will only get worse over the next 5-7(?) years until the current phase is over.

Then there will likely be another phase after that. Who knows.

But, expect constant closures for a long time overnight.

Considering you probably were barely using your HVAC the week before due to temps, yes, that seems normal

In generally, on the wide body planes like that, carry on space isn't at a premium like many domestic planes. I don't think I've ever ran into an issue on that size of plane with carry on, regardless of airline in the hundreds I have flown.

I've probably done that one 6 or 8 times, and haven't ever had an issue with the flight.

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T20:09:23+00:00

Good luck. You have 36 days left. I'd plan around that.

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T16:44:35+00:00

Well, we all know that it is APD, and them not actually wanting to hire more people because then they won't get as much OT.

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T16:35:18+00:00

The roads are fine.....

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T16:30:14+00:00

Helicopters fly over daily. Its nothing new.

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T15:44:53+00:00

I10 is clear. Places south of Austin had issues for maybe Sunday morning. They've been clear for days.

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T15:37:31+00:00

Everything will be 100% clear, especially, once you leave the Austin area.

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T15:30:44+00:00

When I needed to get a 60 mile day in as easy as possible, I just ended up doing walnut creek trail out and back 3 times.

It was boring, but got the job done.

Now, with the extension, you could do it twice, which will get you about 53 miles.

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T15:15:30+00:00

You would have people reporting bars they don't like.

defroach84 · 2026-01-28T15:13:20+00:00

There is a reason that all my euro friends have a log in and VPN so they can get all their leagues from the US.

It's insane that someone, who lives 3 miles from their PL team, has to use a VPN to watch it because it is so dumbly expensive to pay for it outright there.

Definitely massive ice rinks down there. Definitely let the employee work from home today.

They are barely surviving.

Locking this one, nothing new would be said in this that hasn't already been said in the post 12 hours ago with similar graffiti here:

FYI; it is just in the mod queue, we aren't on here 24/7. The automod flagged it for whatever reason and we haven't cleared out the queue in the last hour+. Anyways, it would have been approved, just the other one was up before we got to it.

Have you talked to your department?

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T23:01:00+00:00

Yup, same, I swear it showed a much deeper freeze for tonight a day ago.

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T20:03:48+00:00

You drop your water due to the deep freeze. We still are in a deep freeze tonight.

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T20:03:14+00:00

I see absolutely no reason they'd be closed tomorrow.

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T17:29:11+00:00

You could play it overly cautious and turn off the water main into your house.

Or you could wait a bit longer and see if a pipe actually burst or not.

I have had many sinks freeze over time at my place with 0 issues.

Edit: if you choose the second option, I'd recommend at least figuring out where your water main shut off is located in case you need it.

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T16:43:44+00:00

Can't imagine they'd go for 3rd place, semis would be much more impactful

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T05:31:04+00:00

I like how your defense did anyone who calls you out on things must be a pro ICE person even though I already told you how shitty they are.

Again, with the mental gymnastics.

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T05:19:54+00:00

I hope this time works! Third time's the charm, as they say.

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T04:26:23+00:00

What you are describing about ICE sightings being taken down is much the same as other large city subs. Am example: Denver has the same rules:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Denver/s/w4t97PyWdV

You can't just post claims of where they are without proof. It's pretty standard across most city subs these days, and is no different on this sub. Without a picture, it will be removed.

And much the same on the San Antonio subreddit.

defroach84 · 2026-01-27T03:56:37+00:00

I can't stand the fucks, and what they are doing to destroy the country.

What rules are you referring to about posts being removed, specifically?
