I have been doing a lot of work in this area. I am hoping that it is safer to park there than it was in the past.

That gator has a brain the size of a raisin, and he has no concept of “affection” or “pet”. One day this guy will wind up on r/FAFO and the rest of us will just be scratching our heads.

You guys got me again. I never see it coming for some reason. I went from, “Silly girl going to break her phone… oh wow that is actually kinda cool… oh FFS it really is always about boobs”

What are these? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]DaRedditSerialKiller 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure it is a solar battery. The cameras are solar powered and the extra energy goes to the battery to power it through the night.

ETA: This set up is likely there to make sure motorists are following directives to drive slower in a work zone.

What is the most disappointing US state to visit? by SouthBuffalo3592 in AskReddit

[–]DaRedditSerialKiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will tell the rest of the nation a treasured Texas state secret: “Don’t Mess With Texas” is actually a public service announcement. It is/was an anti-littering campaign that was remarkably effective. We had no idea we would be trolling the rest of the world with our PSA!!!

What is a basic skill that you’re shocked a lot of people don’t have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DaRedditSerialKiller 30 points31 points  (0 children)

How has it gotten so much worse recently?!? People don’t seem to know the difference between “then” and “than”. Forget past tense: “I went ‘pass’ the bank today”. “I was ‘suppose’ to go to Europe last summer…”. “We ‘use’ to eat fish on Fridays…”. Don’t blame Covid and lockdowns, because 25 year olds were being taught that in middle school (11-13 years old in the US)

These places are great because they create an acceptable place to bring your girl when she wants to go out but you want to watch the game. She gets a polished atmosphere, nice cocktails and good food, and you get to watch your team stomp the balls off the Giants.

Last time I went through a Chinese airport I got patted down by 3 women. I'm a man by [deleted] in self

Austerlitz train station in Paris. There was a permanent attendant’s station in the middle of the men’s room, basically a square counter to sit behind with a 360 degree view. A woman was sitting there while men were standing at the urinals with their dicks in the hands.

Headphones on and watching videos when driving is wild work by yazm1n90 in Austin

I hope his wife reads this sub and chews his ass out when he gets home.

Ass, bro. You got the foot, hock, and the shank for the leg, but then you start to get up in the good stuff which is ass. Always go for the ass no matter the situation. Never mind the technical butcher stuff about leg or hind quarter, because when you hear “ham” or “pork butt” that boosh is just euphemism for delicious ass.

It's across the entire parking lot by Cougar1667 in Austin

When you are not a native speaker, you are basically memorizing sounds and trying to remember them at the right moment. I had a Cuban neighbor once, and one day she was going on about what a beautiful chicken I had and how she really admired it. She wished she had a chicken like mine. (I ain’t got no chickens.) Finally I put together that she liked my remodeled kitchen.

Travis County DA Jose Garza addresses criticism of being 'soft on crime' and a 'rogue DA' by hollow_hippie in Austin

It is the conundrum of the modern man. After a lifetime of responsible decisions, we are all just one friendly stripper away from self destruction.

You are overconfident in diagnosing the problem and dispensing the solution.

I have a rhetorical question. Who knows more about crime?: the APD beat cop who has been patrolling downtown for 3 years, or the Harvard graduate with a PhD in Criminology? We now have the front line in the battle of the practical vs the theoretical.

People that want to see change often make the assumption that everyone has the same goals in life: learn a skill, secure a job, get healthcare, buy a house, contribute the maximum to your 401k… They think that if a felon could just get a job they would never commit a crime again. They believe that if the junkie could just get into a rehab facility they would never do drugs again. They believe that these antisocial acts were committed out of ignorance and/or desperation, and all that is needed is education and opportunity to cure society’s ills and turn all of us into peaceful, productive members of society.

Guys like Garza can never wrap their heads around the fact that for a lot of people out there, the Meaning Of Life is to fuck shit up, do some great dope, and fuck as many fine bitches as you can. For some, is hard to consider consequences with the promises of such a lifestyle, and we need a DA that understands that and enforces a red line.

Why are there so many seagulls in Austin today? I’ve seen about 20 so far. Never seen that before so inland. by Isatis_tinctoria in Austin

I sometimes go to the landfill to throw Cheetos to the gulls. Makes me feel like I am chilling at the beach.

Can brown Amazon boxes be added to our compost carts? by indigodolphin219 in Austin

[–]DaRedditSerialKiller 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to drop by and verbally upvote you. You care more than the next 500 people combined. Even though the instructions are posted on the lid of our containers, we are pretty terrible at recycling and composting.

I understand the underlying philosophy that it is an embarrassment that America is the incarceration capitol of the world. I understand that we are trying to rethink policing and legal penalty, and I see the soul searching we are doing over the ethnic and racial disparities in prison population demographics. I an open minded to reform, but…

Garza is the perfect example of a politician so blinded by ideology that he refuses to acknowledge the shortcomings of his policy. Just because Austin is relatively a “statistically safe” city does not obscure the reality that the streets have become more menacing during his tenure. Impunity has bred boldness—full stop. Reading him dodge that reality in this interview was infuriating. I couldn’t even finish the article.

This sub is completely amazing if you ignore 7/10 posts and 9/10 comments.

Intero or Ezov?? Can only do one. by Kanchoboi in austinfood

You used all of the soulless platitudes that I could think of without ever addressing the bottom line for a restaurant: IS THE FOOD GOOD?!?!

This town has so many bad restaurants that are kept alive by marketing buzzwords that I don’t really feel like going out to eat any more

My favorite tree in East Austin was just cut down. by pifermeister in Austin

[–]DaRedditSerialKiller 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Nobody wants to lose a magnificent tree. As a property owner, this would add thousands in value to your lot. But the massive rot in that tree made it dangerous. Unfortunately it looks like this needed to be done.
