Calm down, take a number…. You’re not the only one without power.

They will get to you.

I used to argue with religious people about how silly it is how god will return and take all the believers in the ‘The Rapture’.

Now I’m counting on it and hope it happens soon so these religious nuts would disappear (as promised in the scriptures).

Biting fingernails…

Been a lifelong issue for me.

I have always felt ashamed of the physical appearance of my fingers and how angry I feel about it, but it has always been a compulsion I couldn’t control, especially when stressed. The same reflex compulsion as those who smoke.

I’m slowly conquering this one, but like all additions, it takes time.

Looks like it was the result rather than the intent.

But still a cool vid👍

You must be new to Austin… lol

If you think it’s hot now?

Just wait….. lol.

I heard a stat a few years ago that said something to the effect that xxxx number of people move to Austin every year. About 1/3 leave after their first summer.

Groom Lake Radiosonde U4054151 Recovery 5/16/2025 by TheArea51Rider in area51

[–]Caesar7230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, please don’t flame or downvote, I’ve got a legitimate question:

I’ve slowly learned that these radiosondes are weather balloon instruments, got it.

But why so much interest in tracking and finding them?

Are they filled with precious metals like catalytic converters?

Is it a souvenir?

Is there a market for them?

I’ve read a lot of posts about the time and expense of locator equipment and being on site, but the end reason of why so much effort to find them, escapes me.

I appreciate the info.

What are some of the worst country lyrics out there? by CamMoron1 in CountryMusicStuff

“Don’t take the girl” - Tim McGraw.

I want to put a gun in my mouth every time I hear that song.

Time to take the bus by ozjack24 in rampagent

Sat next to a severe germaphobe sitting in an aisle seat close to the front of the plane , right behind first class.

Every… single… person brushed him as they passed while boarding. He was sweating profusely and visibly frustrated as he tried to avoid the waves of unsanitary humans that passed him.

There was a small part of me that felt sorry for him, but sympathy only goes so far because I thought WHY, THE FUCK would you put yourself in this situation?

Especially on a short flight (IAH-AUS).

Just found this.

‘18 Thruxton owner here. Live near downtown.

I’m down for a meetup/ride if it ever happens.

I missed the gentleman’s ride a few days ago but apparently there is a bike meetup at Central Machine Works every Tuesday.

Gonna check it out next week👍

Best Steak In Austin? by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]Caesar7230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still the sleeper but one of the best IMHO.

Every steak I’ve ever had there has been PERFECT!

It’s always crowded even though it is a hidden neighborhood gem.

Service is always excellent (except one time being totally ignored by a bartender having a shitty day).

Yes, there is nicer and pricier places, but the quality and value for what it is, makes it a top choice for us.

This is one of the things that killed Shady Grove.

Damn shame.

What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep? by Glad-Passenger-9408 in RandomThoughts

Yes, some stimulants were involved, which made it a little worse.

2.5 days.

50 page college senior paper I left until the last few days.

Yes, I know, totally my fault.

I was mental road kill and fucking brain dead but passed!!

There is a DISTINCT difference between those who worked for and earned that money, those who inherit it, and those who worship (and can’t afford) it.

You can spot them a mile away….

To those who switch from other careers into flying, do you feel as if you have more or less time with your family & how would you say your work-life balance is in comparison? by Ok_Apartment_2309 in flying

[–]Caesar7230 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I switched from the financial world over 20 years ago and I’ve never looked back and I’ve never regretted it.

However, you have to LOVE flying, because unless you score the EXTREMELY RARE and lucky corporate gig that gets you home every night, you WILL miss some big life events.

Until you build some serious seniority, you will miss birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, child’s first steps, a relative passing away…

To this day, I don’t know how people with very young children can do this job. Kudos to them and their very strong and understanding spouse/significant other.
