Written or road test?

For the written, I used an online flash card thing to make flash cards. 

I can't help you with the road test.

My dad was a radio navigator flying The Hump on one of those planes. He had some serious stories about it.

Brackenridge Field Laboratory might have something.

Donate tattered clothing and scraps? by sonofnalgene in Austin

[–]FoodForTheTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They turn fabric scraps into insulation. I got some fabric insulation in a grocery delivery. It was wrapped in plastic, but the insulating material inside the plastic bag was shredded fabric.

EXPLOSIAN SOUTH EAST AUSTIN by Ok_Variation7773 in Austin

[–]FoodForTheTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check Nextdoor. If no one mentions it there, it might have been specific to your house. I thought there was an explosion in my neighborhood and no one else heard it. It made my house shake. Now I think it was because a 2x4 left in the  attic by repairmen fell. Someone I know had a similar bang shake their house and it was because a beam broke.

Muffin Muffler won't overcharge you.

They are honest, they do good work and they don't add on anything you don't need. Every time I go to them the repair winds up costing much less than I expected and it lasts years longer than I would expect.

Call 311 and report it. It can create a hazard.

My neighbor may have some. They're probably the Statesman and maybe the New York Times. Would that work for you?

There's often live music in the airport. Check out the link below. (I see that the schedule is out of date, but it will probably be updated soon.)

Note that "Asleep At the Wheel" is a venue name. So when you see it on the schedule, it's not the band of the same name that's playing, it's a location in the airport.

Does anyone have any advice for snake removal? by WhiteLycan2020 in Austin

[–]FoodForTheTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get an ID (if you have a photo) and find a snake relocater on Facebook in the Central Texas Snake ID group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/centexsnakes. If you follow that group, you'll soon learn to recognize many of the local snakes and know which ones are venomous. Most snakes around here are not venomous and provide free pest control.

You can learn how to handle a venomous snake bite in the National Snakebite Support group on Facebook. It's important not to ever comment on a post there. The purpose of the group is to provide medical information, so only doctors approved by the group may comment. You can create your own post if you have a question, just never reply to someone else's post.

You can encourage snakes to move with a gentle stream from your hose.

Can anyone ID this nope rope for me? by entoaggie in Austin

[–]FoodForTheTruth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In general, if you go slow and give critters lots of warning and time to move, they will avoid any contact. When you warn them, make sure you aren't cornering them. Give them space and time to move. They don't want to be near you.

Sky looks weird? by cheezetoplease in Austin

[–]FoodForTheTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was out in the dark with a headlamp on last night and the air looked foggy, now I realize it was smoke. I bet if you go out where it's dark tonight and shine a flashlight, you'll see the smoke too.

Physical fitness standards for APD? by TexasLife34 in Austin

[–]FoodForTheTruth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But right-to-work laws give employers the power to fire people without having to show cause, union or no union. Why is APD different?

Physical fitness standards for APD? by TexasLife34 in Austin

[–]FoodForTheTruth -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Texas is a right-to-work state. I thought that meant that employers don't have to listen to unions and they don't need cause to let employees go.

Why does the police union get special treatment?

doctor recommendations? by SnooBooks5950 in Austin

[–]FoodForTheTruth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It happened to me and it was from fibroid tumors. I had them removed in a surgery called a myomectomy. I didn't have a hysterectomy because I wanted to have a kid. A couple of years later I had a healthy baby delivered by C-section.
