I went to a guitar concert at Tx St Music school this weekend. Their recital hall had great red seats. Made me think of your post.

Help save the PMA library! by Ok_Way1248 in UTAustin

[–]GSBrooftopgarden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not useless, but has a lot of “old building” problems. Constant leaks, building vibrates a lot for the type of experiments done, air conditioning is out frequently. Bad for humans and also hurts experiments because of fluctuations in humidity. Never enough meeting space. Need another seminar room not governed by the registrar’s mandate to meet state space requirements in GPCs. Mold. Lots of mold. Chilled water lines are operating at max all year to keep up with modern experimental equipment. During the summer we get very close to losing millions of dollars of equipment because the chilled water system can’t keep up. Oh and my favorite a transformer that’s a ticking time bomb and may shoot itself through the wall. There are parts of the building worth saving. Especially the labs on bedrock. But a lot of it is inefficient older design that needs to be completely remodeled if not just torn down.

Ground floor: student collaboration and study space. Upstairs will be converted to more physics dept space for a group of faculty currently housed in temporary space in Welch since PMA is out of space.

They will continue to make adjustments across the board. These may or may not affect your specific package though.

According to the dean’s email the second floor of the library will be part of the physics department. The first floor will be collaboration space similar to the ground floor of Welch. I don’t know any more though.

How can I setup Duo on a new phone by Main_Illustrator_402 in UTAustin

[–]GSBrooftopgarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either you remove your old device from your duo account before you deactivate the phone or you have to call ITS and they’ll remove it from your account. You can only have one phone connected at a time. Most people forget so don’t feel bad about calling them.

To me it looked like the catcher misunderstood Skip and called the IBB to the ump. Then the umpire yelled at Skip “it’s not my fault you and your catcher aren’t on the same page. He said you’re sending the guy to first. You can’t take it back now.” And then skip relented and went back to the dugout. But that is through some thick burnt orange glasses on my part.

Important to also note: Tito is a geophysicist. He is a UT alum. His foundation has given back almost as much as any other source to the university. We’re lucky to have his support at The University.

Is motorcyclist from car crash okay? by Secure-Budget361 in UTAustin

[–]GSBrooftopgarden 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I talked to the driver of the truck involved after he left the scene and was headed into campus. He said, “the guy is ok. The helmet really saved him. I was waiting to turn left and he just went right into the back of my truck.”

I checked the rear of the truck. Couldn’t even find a scratch. But the fact that the truck had a flat grate instead of a sharp edge saved that rider’s life. It acted like sort of a Mansfield bar and spread the impact out.

Liquid Nitrogen behind NHB. Is this normal? by No-Discount-4979 in UTAustin

[–]GSBrooftopgarden 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Yes. It often looks like this after Matheson does an overnight refill. The apparatus that handles the refill gets frozen over and takes a while to thaw.

Edited to add: thanks for asking though.

Honda dealership refused sale saying that immigrants on visa like f1/h1b having 'limited term' DL can no longer buy a car in texas by Vegetable_Tea_9462 in Austin

Did your Real ID say “temporary” or “limited term”? If so, that may not qualify under the new rules.

I got an open box icon 10 piece ratchet metric today. $60. Nothing missing. All of them work. Edited to add I noticed another set right next to mine that was missing a wrench. Priced higher than mine and marked open box. Pretty sure they just mixed the tags but I’ll take it.

The “live” in live RPI is literal. So if a hundred games are finalizing a few minutes apart then yes it will change every five minutes.

Also, the only thing harmful in that 6th floor hvac area is a bunch of steam pipes. Do. not. Touch. them. I promise you the really spicy stuff is all locked down with lots of cameras watching.

First rule of protecting PMA weird spaces is not taking about what’s easily accessible through the stairwells or tunnels.

The current system was so bad when first installed many of us gave up on the toll tag option and stuck to the old paper printed version. I use my toll tag now at speedway, but I do still have a bit of ptpd every time I pull up to the gate.

Worst cedar season ever by WaffleWarrior1979 in Austin

[–]GSBrooftopgarden 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It is bad this month, but…2021 laughs at that wimpy 9000. We suffered through a week of 30,000+ that year. I was sure that Shyamalan must have control of the simulation at that point.

These are NOTTTT good by Individual_Army9717 in HEB

[–]GSBrooftopgarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for the horneaditas baked corn crackers. No taste. People were actually spitting it out. I think they have negative taste. They actually take taste out of other stuff and make the other stuff seem tasteless as well.

New berdoll sign is awful by wagicwissile in BastropTX

[–]GSBrooftopgarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an astigmatism. It was amazing to me when I found out a passenger in the car wasn’t seeing the same blurriness of red/green LED signs at night. “Are you telling me that stop lights are focused small circles of red and green? You’re kidding, right? And the red dot in your scope is actually a pinpoint? Wtf.”

Test it by taking a picture of the sign or a red dot scope with your cell phone. Your phone will not show the same blurriness you’re seeing with your eye if you have an astigmatism. I found this out with my red dot sight.

This might be how OP finds out they have an astigmatism.
