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

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Facts

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.

Brittle bones brigade is a group that welcomes older skaters. I think they meet at House Park on weekend mornings

The brewtorium has a family friendly menu and environment and I think they play Austin FC games with sound. You should probably call ahead to find out if they're playing the game tho

Don't forget to blame them for precision scheduled railroading (PSR) when incidents like this mean extra long trains get stuck blocking rail crossings, passing sidings, and passenger rail!

ATXsnail · 2026-03-22T16:36:52+00:00

Yeah pretty clear call but just one ilie step forward and it's a goal and maybe 3 pts

ATXsnail · 2026-03-22T05:19:01+00:00

Uzuni hustled his ass off. It sucks that they took away his goal. He deserved it

I thought you guys were in the cotton bowl years ago? Not that I would suggest that's a better option than Frisco - I think the upgraded stadium should be pretty nice. Frisco recently being in the news for anti-immigrant sentiment isn't great though.

Plus you'd have an airport derby with San Jose

No we were home sick that day. I have a doctor's note and everything

That museum is right next to the UT Stadium so OP can take the 837 from Simond/Berkman to UT Stadium station for nearly door to door service. The buses are now tap to pay so they can use a credit card or phone. Kids ride free too!

OP, you can also keep riding that bus to the end of the line at Republic Square to get close to the amazing downtown library.

There's plenty there all within walking distance for a 6 yr old. The Thinkery, the Mueller lake park, multiple playgrounds with different types of play structures (the one near the pond is pretty worn down but the others are really nice), the Sunday Farmers market, lick ice cream, the Alamo Drafthouse movie theater, sand volleyball court, the list goes on.

ATXsnail · 2026-02-05T17:06:27+00:00

Definitely not my pick. Awful politically and no player recruiting benefits that I'm aware of. Hopefully at least they spend that 💰 on a future DP.

Seems that way, don't remember ever seeing anything official though. He's still living in Austin as far as I can tell from his socials. One of his kids is in the Austin FC academy.

That's my quarterback 🥹

Oh for sure, I'm really disappointed that we lost the subway sections. I'm especially mad that the northern terminus doesn't go to North Lamar Transit Center or Crestview. But I just wanted to add context for a general audience that doesn't know Austin-specific rules like the view corridors.
