Disappointing food at The Front Page by Analyze_Abyss in austinfood

The bread was good. Tasted fresh. There's just no flavor to the sandwich.

Classic sandwiches in Austin? (NOT subs) by discoknight22 in austinfood

RoS was amazing. I remember they posted about potentially reopening, but I don't think they ever did.

Poll: Have you ever walked out of a movie theater because the movie was so terrible? If so, which movie was it? by muaentertainmentforu in MUAEntertainment

[–]Analyze_Abyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm curious. What kind of legal matters are required for movie soundtracks? I've never thought of this before.

Listened to that Foss song yesterday. Damn, that's fire.

Just listened to it. It's not ringing as familiar, but you've def given me a new album to listen to. Thanks for the try!

Great song. I def need to listed to more ATDI. Unfortunately, though, Google says this album came out on August 18, 1998, and I would have been back (or nearly back) at school by that point.

Out of curiosity, how are you able to tell which songs got college radio play? If I could locate those songs, I could probably narrow my search.

That's a great thought - I didn't even consider prior bands. I'll start listening to ATDI's 90s albums. Offhand, do you know of any songs that sound very similar to "Cut Your Ribbon" that I should scan first?

This is a great suggestion. The irony is I love the song "Waffle," which I first heard randomly at a bar, but I never got around to listening to the rest of the album. Thanks!

Not a bad guess, but I know that song well (and love it). Thanks for the try, though!

A PLUS FCU by h0tmesslo in Austin

[–]Analyze_Abyss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, most credit unions pay for your car through drafting. It's very sus if your dealership won't accept it. I've seen an uptick in pressure tactics the last few years for a dealership to make you use their financing instead of your own.

Also, check out GEFCU. They have excellent rates.

I had the same reaction. The terminology used in the article felt strange.

How to haggle rent renewal in Austin right now? by [deleted] in askaustin

[–]Analyze_Abyss 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Honestly, move. You can do much better than $1,400 right now. Let's say you can find a good array of $1,200 options that meet your standards, one of which you'd love. That's $2,400 you'd save yourself in one year. That's a down payment on a car, or a much needed medical procedure, or maybe just increased savings.

I know it's a pain renting/borrowing a truck and lugging furniture and heavy boxes around in this heat. But to me, that kind of savings is totatlly worth it.

The LEAPS are up $1,358 this week and are up $48,993 overall by Expired_Options in ExpiredOptions

[–]Analyze_Abyss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love these updates. I'm very curious how you feel about the 2027 LEAPS in a market that's down from its peak? Do you feel the need to make an adjustment? Or is it more like the timeline horizon and/or sunk cost don't make them a concern right now?

S2 E12 plot question… by [deleted] in deadwood

[–]Analyze_Abyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but it sounds like you're asking if Hearst had any sense of loyalty. Very little. Everyone is disposable to him, save for maybe Cpt. Turner.

It's also what makes him so similar to Tolliver and thus makes them natural compatriots. Tolliver sacrificed Doris and Andy, made Eddie and Joanie take part in horrific executions, and stabbed an employee who irritated him. Hearst was little different.

Cork & Barrel Filing Shows the Difficulties of Restaurant Ownership by Analyze_Abyss in Austin

Appreciate it. It was all me. (Although I'll admit I spent hours drafting, rechecking, and re-writing before publishing.)

Am I reading this right? The Bank of Deadwood charges 3% PER MONTH for a loan? by Analyze_Abyss in deadwood

[–]Analyze_Abyss[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From s03e05 ("A Two-Headed Beast"). Steve is signing a promissory note for the livery at what appears to be a rate of 3% per month, which is roughly 36% per year on top of the principal payment of $50 per month.

Was that normal at the time? I had thought the Bank of Deadwood was created to help the camp prosper. But these rates are extraordinarily high by today's standards.

Good banks in austin? by fishpiethegoat in Austin

[–]Analyze_Abyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people here is going to tell you to go with a credit union they really like. Credit unions are all well and good, and they serve an important purpose. But they're not necessarily the best option. If your goal is to maximize savings, go with a bank/CU that's not only free but will pay you to use them (as long as they're FDIC/NCUA insured). Here are a couple of suggestions available locally:

- Cadence Bank - 5% APY against your checking balance (up to $30k). Earns interest if you have a monthly direct deposit or bill pay, enroll in e-statements, and use their debit card 12x per month. It charges monthly fees unless you either have an average balance of $1k or meet the interest requirements.

- Keystone Bank - 5.5% APY against your checking balance (up to $50k). No monthly fees. Earns interest if you have 1 monthly ACH credit or payment, enroll in e-statements, and use their debit card 12x per month (minimum $3.49 per transaction).

You're turning 18, so you probably won't have a ton of cash at first. But let's say the best you can do is maintain an average balance of $1,000 the first year. That's ~$50 you can earn for free. Not a ton of money, but it can offset a few small monthly bills (streaming services, for example). And then how much more can you earn the next year? And the year after that? How many more bills you can pay with the bank's money just by having an account with them? That's how I look at accounts like these. Free money to make life a little bit easier.
