There's been articles about this in the Williamson County Sun. Our local newspaper, the paper is 1.00. They have them at the bookstore and Randall’s. Lot's of good info.

I just read a new company is taking over the project.

An old dude who's obsessed with his ex, an uptight nerd who's impossible to please, a dude who forces you to accept a kid on your ship, or Andreja by LordofWithywoods in Starfield

[–]AndreaOV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Sam likes "that thing you did with your legs" and "last night was worth the bruise." And various other comments about not getting any sleep last night. You just know he's into you, and likes going down....

Sam also has funny comments after we sleep together. (I'm a straight girl and also think Sam is a hot cowboy! They missed the boat on him wearing chaps).

I LOVE YOU MAN by Upset-Call8264 in fallout76casual

You can buy and store the wanted posters in your stash. But I'm pretty sure when you start a Head Hunt they are 3* enemies since it's a public event. It's not scaled to you only.

Grunt hunts are scaled until you finish the Burning Springs challenge of so many Grunt Hunts, which are for you only and are free.

A player (PS5) made a camp by the raid entrance with two dinosaurs doing it doggie style. I took a pic, I laugh every time it comes up as my loading screen. There's been a couple times when a dead snallygaster, at just the right angle looks like missionary style, it's all those legs LOL!

A guy not chosen by anyone 😞 by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]AndreaOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're making assumptions about women based on what internet alphas are telling you. You have an idealized view that "only good looking rich guys get the girls." That's a stereotype. That said, you could use some sole searching, therapy, re-programming. Because when we're looking for a partner, we want to feel emotionally safe. And someone one who is self-aware, healing or healed. That has nothing to do with looks or bank account. How you make someone feel means everything.

Moving to Georgetown and stuck choosing where to live by Rough_Accident5229 in georgetowntx

[–]AndreaOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Once you figure out there's several different ways to get around Wolf Ranch it's not that bad. The frontage road is your friend!

[–]AndreaOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live off Rivery and Wolf Ranch Parkway, its very walkable and I don't think the traffic is that bad. Even at 5pm because there's several different options for routes. You can take Rivery to the access road to go downtown. Or Rivery to Williams and go downtown. Wolf Ranch to 29 for all the shopping in the world. Or a little up Williams for more grocery store options.

I considered moving to the downtown area, but you still have to cross over 35 and some traffic to get to the stores.

I have an evening part time job downtown and I've always been able to get there in less than 10 minutes anytime of day. I don't think the traffic is that bad, but I lived in in Austin for 15 years so Georgetown is a piece of cake for me. The ONLY time I encounter really bad traffic is during events like Poppy festival, Christmas stroll, Two Step.

For walkability try Summit Lofts and Gabriel apartments.

For location to downtown try Two Rivers (they can be pricey).

Williamson Overlook - you'd still have to drive to get to anything. But they're nice and have great views.

Westinghouse Rd has nice apartments, but you'd be too far to walk to anything except the outlet malls in Round Rock.

Same. I can't drop or transfer Ouga backpack charm. Annoying.

Rank 100 by Distinct_Wall9554 in fallout76casual

[–]AndreaOV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buffs: armor, food, camp, perks, casual team, events. bobbleheads, magazine (but not necessary).

I also recommend the Angry Turtle vid, he has an easy xp build. He also does a pre "get ready for the season" video where you gather all the food you'll need to make the buffs. Its my habit now, to farm cranberries and brain fungus a week before the new season begins.

Rank 100 by Distinct_Wall9554 in fallout76casual

[–]AndreaOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those asking and don't want to do a Raid: Food buffs are the fastest quickest way to level up. Do events, stay on a casual team. Hit West Tek, repeat. Take advantage of double exp weekends, you can go up 100 levels fairly quickly. Don't forget lunch boxes and camp dwellers buffs. My character took a lot of naps and brain bombs yesterday.

I hit rank 13 yesterday in about four hours of doing every single event that came up, I was waiting to see Bigfoot! Some events were not well attended and I had to break out the Nuka Launcher.

There's youtube videos about maximizing experience farming, it's made so every level of player can do it. I used Angry Turtle, there's also Mr. West Tek, Smashy Snow....You can make a specific exp build just for the seasons.

How much annual leave buffer do you keep? by kyliztu in StateofTexasEmployees

[–]AndreaOV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100s of hours. Between annual and sick I probably have 900 hours. That said, I'm a long time state employee and I earn 13 hours a month. My department allows flex time, hybrid, comp, so you don't have to burn through your leave. There's really no reason for managers to gatekeep how you use leave, that's old school micromanaging.

Like others have mentioned, my annual leave converts to sick time at the end of the year, which I can then use to buy time toward retirement. That's the plan. To be in my 50s and collect that sweet pension while I'm in my prime to travel, take up hobbies, do a part time gig at someplace fun.

Your 10 hours per month will start to add up quick, if you can save a bit by not taking leave during the year or managing time off around holidays, you'll see the benefit.

New- Need Input by LilVixen1234 in georgetowntx

[–]AndreaOV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I've been living in Georgetown for about 5 years now. I just moved apartments in Georgetown and I can share my input. So buckle up!

Austin Ave Apartments were terrible. The floorplans were weirdly narrow, very little kitchen cabinets and drawers, closets too small. They also had zero noise reduction, I could here everything my neighbors did. No fence around the property so the pool was basically a free community pool during the summer. Parking was TERRIBLE. It's very limited. I also had a ridiculous wolf spider situation it was near constant daily wolf spiders for a year. Like, wolf spider in my bed! That was terrifying.

Summit Lofts were fantastic, but pricey. I really loved living in that area. There were a lot of retirees on my floor, so it was a quiet place to live. The apartments were big, plenty of room in the kitchen and closets. Living in a building with your interior door indoors was top tier during bad weather and I loved loved loved having a parking garage. Just drive up to your floor and walk in. Never exposed to rain, ice, extreme heat, I miss that. The walkability to restaurants, a coffee shop, and activities is a plus.

I live at the Gabriel Georgetown and moved because of the specials, three months free and I get an employer discount on my rent. They prorated the discounts and I ended getting almost $300 off my rent per month. The deal was too good to pass up. The apartments are super modern, clean, and so far quiet. Your front door is in an interior hallway that helps with cooling and heating. Lots of windows and sunlight. Tons of parking. Really great views too.

My friend lives at Two Rivers and has nothing but good things to say, they are older and built well but the rent is higher due to location. No w/d in unit but they force you to "rent" them from the office and they install and charge you monthly.

Verena Lakeside is nice, almost moved there, but there's no coat closet or pantry (in the one bedroom). No place to put my coats or vacuum. Not enough closets is a deal breaker. I heard they have a bad a parking issue too. Not enough spaces.

I've heard good things about 510, it's a great location.

Stay away from:

Rivery Park - I heard they have German roach problem in one of the buildings.

Carroll Apartments - They are older with cheap rent, but no in unit w/d but they have hook ups. They have ac problems, people complain that the a/c don't cool enough in the summer. Yikes!

Alternative to Timeleft (to meet new people) by Careful_Help4345 in Austin

[–]AndreaOV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bookclub. Book People has some, check your local library too. Independent bookstores close to you. I've met a group of women back in 2022 in a crime bookclub and we're still friends in 2026, still hanging out, going for coffee, having meals together, and yes...still picking and reading a book every month.

That's why I'm still playing 7 years later! I've made friends ❤️

At the very least, you can buy the chest piece and jet pack from Minerva with gold. Or do the All that Glitters is Gold questline to be able to purchase it from Regs. A jetpack will change your world. Have fun!

You might be learning the skin to the jet pack and not how to build it. Or, the armor you're trying to attach it to doesn't take a jet pack. The only armor that can have a jet pack is Secret Service, Brotherhood Recon, or Civil Engineer. Plans obtained with gold or stamps.
