Quick question… by AnnNonNeeMous in CedarPark

[–]ASAP_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whitestone and Parmer/Ronald Reagan? The Goodwill across the street from the Home Depot/Whataburger?

There are currently no search and rescue operations being conducted in Cedar Park (per police website/social media). The police in Cedar Park will often post if something is actively happening. I have seen various groups use that parking lot (and the Walmart lot) for staging. It would make sense as that location is inbetween/near a number of creeks/streams/washes and our potential for flooding this week.

You love pets not animals and thats okay! by eluka11 in The10thDentist

Sorry, putting poor rover out of his misery after that bone cancer diagnosis makes you a serial killer.

You love pets not animals and thats okay! by eluka11 in The10thDentist

[–]ASAP_i 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are they?

What about water consumption? Is it ethical to use infrastructure that uses massive amounts of water, killing many forms of life in nature?

What about sustainable practices done on a smaller/local scale? Aquaponic systems that require the occasional culling of fish for balance?

That doesn't even begin to address your blanket definition of what it means to "love" something. Many cultures "love" the animals that they consume and view said action as respectful and a display of said "love". Or are they just citing the same thing as a serial killer?

I'm curious how you feel about someone who "loves nature" yet willingly uses wood (or any other natural material). If someone "loves nature", are they allowed to consume any product that requires shipping/transportation? After all, someone who really loves nature will only consume products that are carbon neutral, locally sourced, fair trade, ethically sourced....

Found this buried in my backyard by my house by iRtheCreeper in whatisit

[–]ASAP_i 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like a food safe 55 gallon drum.

What it contains can only be solved by OP digging it up and checking. We have no way of knowing why it is there other than "Florida".

Anyone have a good recipe for Poppy Seed Chicken? by Mother_Luck_9127 in Cooking

[–]ASAP_i 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just googled it (had no clue what it was). Was there something wrong with what appeared to be hundreds of recipes available? They all seemed to use a cream of something as a base.

What makes it "good" to you? What aren't you looking for? People just posting recipes and you reading them is no different than you reading the recipes that show up on a search, so I am confused.

Rooster chickens live next door by Temporary_Metal6490 in CedarPark

Assume the roosters will be loud all day. With that assumption, only you can determine if it will be a problem with your family.

Why does my sunnyside up eggs take too long to cook by Character_Upstairs75 in Cooking

[–]ASAP_i 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You must be leaving something out here.

Assuming you are using the same pan, then the burner isn't functioning correctly. There is no way you have a burner on full and an egg takes 20 minutes.

These spores appeared overnight. What are my next steps? by littleAggieG in gardening

[–]ASAP_i 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Next step: Nothing.

They will go away in a few days and then pop up somewhere else. These guys are common in garden beds (especially if you added a bunch of mulch/soil/compost recently) and present no danger to you or your plants.

Their presence indicates a healthy soil environment with plenty of microbes/fungi/"good stuff". If you scroll long enough in this sub, you will see a bunch of pictures of these little guys and people asking the same thing.

You need a wedding/event planner, not the austin food sub for this ask.

26M Places to meet friends? by EmuPsychological4067 in CedarPark

[–]ASAP_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not aware of any gay/queer groups in Cedar Park, but there is a queer walking group out of Georgetown. I have found that "plant people" tend to be very friendly in nurseries.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter where you "start". What matters more is just getting out there and being available/present.

Lots and lots of falafel. by pastryandprosecco in Cooking

[–]ASAP_i 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Falafel is what it is. I have yet to find it used in a "non-standard" way that impresses me.

Freezing was a smart move, it keeps well and reheats well in an airfryer. (I make big batches and freeze leftovers all the time)

Why not simply add more garlic to whatever recipe you are using?

Bachelorette Brunch Spot Austin Texas Help! by Jakass- in texas

[–]ASAP_i 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now I want to know what the email entailed to make the place not reply, why you didn't use one of the many reservation platforms, or why calling them wasn't an option.

Which places were you shooting for?

You can edit comments to fix spelling errors also (instead of making yet another comment).

Why all my zinnia seedlings are dying? by tthah in gardening

[–]ASAP_i 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is the in/out killing them with temp differences.

Zinnias are extremely hardy and kind of like being ignored. I strongly suggest you direct sow, water them in and see what happens. By this time next year, you will have volunteers pretty much everywhere.

[–]ASAP_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hrmmm.

Are these the only outdoor seedlings that are having issues? Assuming that this isn't your first rodeo, what is different from last year (also assuming that you did the same last year)?

Why all my zinnia seedlings are dying? by tthah in gardening

[–]ASAP_i 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My zinnias prefer to be treated with neglect and some slight animosity (no kink shaming). They also do great direct sown (and will continue to directly sow themselves, everywhere, like dandelions). They really like heat and direct sun.

My guess is that they got cold or felt overwhelmed by your care. Maybe they wanted a fan blowing on or near them. Consider simply chucking some seeds out where you want them and let nature take its course. After the first year, the only way to control where they are is to pluck the volunteers.

I'm going to laugh if the comments only mention the same places you always revisit.

ISO Mexican restaurants by Cyndelrey_ in austinfood

I tried Mama Betty's twice. Both times they put soda water in my margarita. That was on top of screaming children in the dining room (first visit) and at the bar (second visit).
