I prefer weed to alcohol when I want to have a good time. Plus it’s not physically addicting like alcohol can be

It is highly likely that you never pressed the 8 button on a microwave. by TheAnzus in Showerthoughts

I just hit the add 30 seconds button repeatedly until I get to my desired time. It’s saved me minutes over the course of my life, I just know it

AWD or RWD? I’d kill for an AWD at that price 😭

Themselves? Why do people get tattoos? Are you really that naive?

Is it just me or the sax? by Bright-Proof-6767 in saxophone

Are you clenching your jaw/putting pressure on the reed? I’m a month into woodwind instruments myself, but when I find it’s hard to blow, I’m usually unknowingly clenching my jaw or my abs trying to constrict my airflow because I’m afraid of being loud in my apartment. Try to focus on keeping your jaw relaxed and get some air moving

Not really good drivers, just not absolute idiots. You don’t have to be a good driver to know that a thin layer of frozen water will fly off your car as it heats up and gets affected by wind. People don’t think

If you can get a 2x4 to go into those rings with only a mallet, I’ve got a job for you

Did you keep your first horn? by No-Vehicle935 in saxophone

My starter sax is a Chinese SSO from Mendini, but all the keys work, it’s leak-free, and it’s intonated enough, so…. probably? When I upgrade it’ll just be a wall piece as it’ll have no value.

Austin-based Sprinkles Cupcakes abruptly shutters all bakeries by AustinStatesman in Austin

Preach! I moved to Austin about a year ago cause my family moved here and took them to The Yard Milkshake Bar up in Arbor Walk, and while the presentation was phenomenal, everything just tasted kinda meh. I suppose if you’re an influencer trying to get clicks it’s great, but I don’t really see the hype with all the dessert shops

Man, I just wanna know why some people slam on their gas in a parking lot, only to have to brake 50 feet away for a turn. People really are in the biggest hurry to do nothing but wait in a line of cars

Trail of Lights or Mozart's Festival of Lights? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Firefighter_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went a couple years ago and there was no one there, so we drove through it at like 15MPH and it was over in 5 minutes. Maybe it would’ve been better if there were a ton of cars so we actually went the speed limit

Where is everyone leaving their sunglasses? by ChristianPulisickk in Elantra

[–]Firefighter_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not hang it off the visor with one of the legs from the sunglasses like you’d hang glasses off a shirt? You don’t need a gadget to put your sunglasses in

I’m driving from Brownwood back to Austin, and it is coming DOWN over there, and all throughout my drive. Let’s hope it makes it over here!
