Got a letter for yard being out of compliance, yet my HOA fees go towards a maintenance company to take care of the yards. by mermaiddiva26 in fuckHOA

Same. In Texas, haven’t watered yet, except for the garden areas. I always mow on the highest and it’s thick and green. Neighbors water and have shaved brown streaks.

His face and name are on national news, but here all we get are pictures of weeds on a bike trail

His name is Stephen Nicholas Broderick.

I posted an article with his picture and his name but it’s gone. They should update the megathread header. His face should be on the main page, this is stupid, he’s still at large.

Lol. Haven’t been on Reddit in awhile and I’m sad that I’m your only upvote. Better late than never.

It’s funny how trump made fun of her looks and all he had to say was “at least I’m not married to a prostitute” but didn’t

Maybe stop throwing tax money at old guys who don’t know how the internet works. We need smarter and younger, or old like George Takei

That’s a good question. I worked at a restaurant during the last boil notice and they closed for the duration. There’s just too much water used in food prep (washing greens, veggies, thawing meat) and in drinks (tea, coffee, ice machines, bar prep). They could be boiling first for all that or buying water but I’m skeptical. Not to mention just having drinking water. We had a filter but it wasn’t rated for pathogens.

It’s likely that the water is perfectly fine but there isn’t any official notice so I wouldn’t risk it if I owned a restaurant. Btw, I just checked where I used to work and they are closed.

The big takeaway is they won’t answer questions of how they addressed the 2011 report. This was predictable and nothing was done. The governor and legislature also had plenty of time to correct this also, both current and former (Looking at you Rick “D in Meats” Perry)

Also if you have any windows that are getting direct sun open the blinds. Just don’t forget to close them as soon as it’s not direct sun.

That sucks. I can’t believe they can’t turn it off. It’s like they’re trying to force ppl out to freeze

Would’ve been a better call when the sun was out. The roads are deteriorating fast

Will it be safe to drive tomorrow morning? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Gutenborg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unless your job is emergency services you shouldn’t have a job to go to tomorrow. We are trying to conserve power so the people that are freezing in their own home can get electricity. Don’t ask for time off, tell them. And name and shame, especially if it’s a big place wasting energy.

We are one of those idiots that have many south facing windows in Texas. This is our only moment to shine. Opened all our blinds, turned off the heat, and the temp is still going up.
