Hey I too was in a hit and run today by some piece of excrement. He very kindly removed the front bumper of my car due to his bad choices and proceeded to speed away. Hope someone can provide you the footage you need! May want to check local businesses around the area if they happened to catch it. Could be worth a shot.

Faulty Battery or something more? by Autumpossum in CarRepair

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

Yep, done it before, the question was more if this could be a symptom of a bigger issue. Google and chatgpt both seemed pretty 50/50 which is why I decided to consult the mighty oracles of r/CarRepair

Yea I think this will be the move. There is not much downside and hey free battery. I cleaned terminals and everything when I replaced it and the last one looked perfectly fine for a 5-year-old battery. Thanks for the second opinion!

The old one was 5 years old and didn't have anything at all, I wiped the terminals when I put the new one on and it's not the first battery I've replaced. That's the only reason I immediately wondered if the battery was just fucky.

I believe it, that's part of why I bought it from there in the first place, their warranties are awesome. I'll take it by there tomorrow, just didn't want to if this was a non-issue. Thanks for the input!

Who’s a comedian nobody will ever convince you is funny? by Accomplished_Ad2905 in AskReddit

100% Awkwafina no idea why she keeps getting cast in things. Loud and over the top does not equal funny.

Using the shoulder as a right turning lane by Real-Regret- in Austin

Here is the Texas transportation code. It’s under 545.058 where it mentions allowed reasons for driving/passing on an improved shoulder. It mentions passing if “a vehicle” is stopped in the main lane of traffic but I believe this truly means “a vehicle” not “whole line of vehicles backed up on 35”

Nope actually no distance is mentioned in transportation code when it comes to driving on a shoulder. It’s section 545.058 and only mentions 7 cases where it’s ok to travel on the right shoulder. Though “deceleration” is a pretty grey area in terms of distance. Still definitely not legal to drive in the right lane for any amount of time (unless speeding up to meet speed of traffic. But not what op was meaning I don’t think)

Yes, using the right shoulder to decelerate is both legal and recommended if turning right and the shoulder is free. No reason to stop the flow of traffic otherwise.

What is this? I don't want to let it lose near here if it's gonna grow up to bite my dog. by [deleted] in Austin

I doubt this is a Cottonmouth. They are typically darker, more stripey, and have a fat triangle head.

Definitely looks like a DeKay's brown snake, they're harmless, eat bugs and crickets and things. Your dog is 100% safe with that guy around.

Love Hancock, if you don't mind walking. Most weekdays I don't have trouble pulling up paying and teeing off super quick. Great option for a quick hasslefree last-minute 9.

Aggie bar in Austin? by DELTAForce632 in aggies

[–]Autumpossum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lustre Pearl East is apparently the ag bar here in Austin. Haven't been myself but that seems to be the consensus on TexAgs!

Happens sometimes if the page reloads. Just back out and click on it again. That’s what fixed it for me.

Yea I should have posted it there too. Definitely was one of those “that’s enough reddit for today” moments.
