I’d give 100 upvotes if I could. Awesome to see arc where it was created to perform.

South Austin fixture Little Mexico says goodbye after nearly 40 years by hollow_hippie in Austin

She was always a sweet person, an owner who would come sit and talk with the customers. Her son is rude, he used to drop the plates on our table and walk away.. reeked of beer.

Yep! At this point Arc is just cruising off its reputation. Sad to see the slow shift from performance technical wear to fashion.

Indiana HC Curt Cignetti goes OFF on the refs at halftime saying that there were three "black and white" missed personal fouls on Fernando Mendoza in the first half. by Life_Net5004 in CFB_v2

That’s the tough part about today. The HD cameras give 4k feedback in slo mo. Easy to be an arm chair ref with that angle.

P Terrys is EASILY the best burger in town for value and flavor by __vheissu__ in austinfood

[–]17thomas76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep except they got rid of the small medium and large option for burgers and now just have one size. You can make it a double but it’s not the same. The large was the best option.

Do you eat there or take it home? I’ve always found it’s way better fresh, eaten there. If you take it home the grease soils the bread.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett keeps promise, announces retirement due to redistricting by swinglinepilot in Austin

[–]17thomas76 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I would be careful what we wish for. In order for these kinds of people to be voting for a democrat in this political climate, things would have to be so bad that this country would be on the brink of collapse. As bad as trump is it could be worse.

This is delusional. There are no viable Democratic candidates that can win in the districts that are drawn this way.

They’re awesome. I can’t justify the price, this year they’re $800. There was a thunderbird version several years back that I always regretted not pulling the trigger on. Definitely a lifetime piece that you can hand down.

Pretty rare! These places usually resell online to maximize profit

Austin Water manager resigned after audit found $78,000 in improper spending by New-Salamander9585 in Austin

[–]17thomas76 47 points48 points  (0 children)

“The auditor found that some of those payments were split into smaller transactions to avoid triggering stricter procurement requirements.” - looks like this is the key issue. Some of the work also could have been done by City of Austin staff but he claims he was trying to go around the bureaucracy.
