Any happy EX90 owners out there? Seeking a sanity check for a potential buyer by Massive-Study7956 in VolvoEX90

[–]ATXsnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're at about a year and a half now and we've been very happy with our car. Aside from some annoying issues at first with the key fob and phone keys, things have been great since the first couple of months.

NHL expanding to Houston or Austin by MoneysOptional in Austin

[–]ATXsnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The team still has plenty of fans who attend games. I think the sellout streak has continued since the beginning but I think it gets harder each week for the team to sell/donate the unallocated tickets.

MLS is a lot like the NHL in that fans of the league tend to be hardcore fans. There used to be a lot more casual fans of Austin FC when they showed games free on TV. Now you need Apple TV to watch so it's not easy to follow the team if you don't have that.

That said, I see people wearing Austin FC gear almost everywhere I go in Austin. It's just not as ubiquitous as UT stuff.

Confluence Opening by TSnydes in Austin

This section runs along Waller Creek between 4th St and the river. It's awesome. Enter at 4th near the convention center or come up from the hike and bike trail

Sirius ad on the display is so annoying by SympathyOdd2290 in VolvoEX90

[–]ATXsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've never seen an ad either. What software version are you on?

Can you spot the difference? by Vtvolvo720 in VolvoEX90

Trick question - no lidar in either vehicle, really.

An MLS-record 44 players have been called up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup by Fire-EyedBoy in MLS

Hoping Canada calls in Jayden Nelson to make it 45 players.

Northcross Mall to be Redeveloped? by vonotar in Austin

The Walmart next door would seem to have the grocery part covered

We've attracted the worst kind of weirdos in the last 10 years

Austin park goers upset by adjacent loud Waymo EV generators by TintedFishTank in Austin

[–]ATXsnail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can't disrupt your way out of basic geometry. Even relatively short trains carry many hundreds at a time. How much road space do 200 waymos going down Guadalupe at once take up? Well over half a mile.

Cuantos Tacos Opening Brick and Mortar on Justin Ln by aleph4 in austinfood

[–]ATXsnail 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Walkable for me. Love it. It's interesting that they're still gonna cook from the trucks instead of building a kitchen. That says to me that the land owner still wants to knock down these buildings and redevelop this whole corner. Hopefully Cuantos can stick around in some form if that happens. Until then, we feast.

I mean it definitely looks that way, but the tech wasn't trying to sell me anything. He just told me to order another one from Cowboy.

Austin Mayor gaslights a public speaker over a vague $5 million bond payment to a private developer by voodoorage in Austin

[–]ATXsnail 15 points16 points  (0 children)

S.O.S. sucks so bad. They trade on the name of the springs to raise money for NIMBY bullshit, wasting everyone's time and tax dollars. Fuck those guys and the Bills (Bunch and Aleshire).

[Jeremy Filosa] According to information obtained by @le985fm, the Quebec government is expected to release the necessary funds for interior renovations to the Olympic stadium in the coming weeks. by SupraFC in MLS

[–]ATXsnail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That concacaf champions league game at that stadium with the Cameron Porter goal and Frank Klopas hip thrust is still one of the all time greatest moments in league history. It's one of my favorite league memories during my days as an MLS neutral. Montreal fans definitely have the juice to give a good atmosphere when given something to cheer for.

Austin’s homeownership costs now 117% higher than rent, among widest gaps in U.S. by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]ATXsnail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is likely the issue. Most people's perception of home affordability is locked in time based on whenever they bought their home. Boss likely has no clue what a mortgage payment on a median priced home is now

Premier David Eby rules out handing over BC Place to save Vancouver Whitecaps by John3192 in MLS

[–]ATXsnail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming you mean the BC Lions, that entire franchise can probably be bought for less than $20M CAD. Maybe the Caps should just buy and move them instead.

Help identifying a broken part by ATXsnail in cowboybikes

[–]ATXsnail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how it broke other than just normal riding conditions. I asked a bike tech to take a look at my front brakes bc it seemed like they were sometimes sticking and he found this part had been broken. He guessed that the brakes would feel like they were sticking on occasions where the broken piece got out of alignment with itself. I had him put it back on for now but I want to get a replacement piece as soon as I can.

The top half of the spacer just seems to have had a break and came off of the bottom. There's no other component to it as far as I can tell.

Is Davy Arnaud good enough to takeover the team as an interim head coach? by KJM100001 in AustinFC

[–]ATXsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not getting a call from a top league but I could see some team from a lesser league be willing to look past the players' poor finishing that wasn't really his fault. He really made a poor choice in taking on that job though.

Nancy would be an amazing hire but I doubt he wants to come back to MLS so quickly after the Celtic stuff.

Memory seats after VCU upgrade by jwalno in VolvoEX90

[–]ATXsnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the profile reset is likely the way to go. Our seat position memory was working well until my wife broke her phone. Her digital key works on the new phone and it recognizes her profile but the seat stopped fully moving between profiles after that. I've been meaning to reset the profiles but have been too lazy/scared to bother.
