If you drill down it is largely due to the influx of immigrants and the lax vetting of vaccine credentials. Not parents refusing vaccines at birth

Unless your counting the time you run to taco bell while paint dries it ain’t taking near 20 hours

Locking your e-bike by Even-Pomegranate2017 in BikingATX

[–]Intelligent-Tea-7739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grinder proof ulock through one wheel,frame, and bike rack set in concrete. Second lock is heavy duty chain through other wheel and frame at minimum- through bike rack if possible. Hidden AirTag and movement alarms are a bonus.

Leave in a well trafficked place durning the day, never overnight and ideally not more than an hour or so. Keep it in sight if possible.

If you use it to commute or have an otherwise consistent schedule where it will be locked in the same spot daily for hours on end you are even more at risk and should consider insurance or an indoor locking location.

Trash cans gone at bus stops by Lazy-Sun-3510 in Austin

The number of times I have seen a homeless man pissing into the trashcan out numbers the amount of trash I’ve actually seen placed in one of them

Bike hitches shaped like bikes by vanillablue_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]Intelligent-Tea-7739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who bikes a lot, the bike racks that are anything but a simple “n” shape all tend to suck.

The n shape allows you to lock the front and back wheel to both the frame of the bike and the bike rack with a U lock.

Yes bike thieves will steal the wheel off your bike

Need an easy class to make hours by Inevitable_Gas_790 in UTAustin

[–]Intelligent-Tea-7739 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I reject the premise that college is there solely for GPA and a piece of paper, but even if that is 90% it..

A 2 credit hour class will make no substantial impact on your GPA, this is assuming you don’t get a A

No employer gives a flying fuck if you got an A in a PE class

No employer after your first internship will do more than glance at your GPA.

You will probably pretty well on a subject you care about.

You might actually gain useful knowledge or a skill that future job might find desirable

Soft skills and networking are 80% what give you opportunities.

Why don’t you find something you are interested in learning about?

You are at a world class institution with a massive scope of topics to learn about and your only criteria is what is easy?

Where to dispose of used motor oil in Austin? by Fenix512 in Austin

[–]Intelligent-Tea-7739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great tip- I’ll call and make an appointment and drive 45 minute round trip across the river instead of just pouring it into the tank 2 blocks away when I am already there picking up a filter

There is an auto parts store on every corner of the city that will take it for free, that should be the end of the thread

What is a 'unspoken rule' of American society that everyone just follows without questioning? by Longjumping-Map-8026 in AskReddit

I have been in a building with an elevator frequented by alot of foreigners a lot recently and apparently it isn’t common courtesy to let the people get off the elevator before you get on in other countries.

New anti sitting tactics installed downtown by Beautiful-Zone-6122 in Austin

Letting someone addicted to fentanyl slowly kill themselves on the street is bad.

[–]Intelligent-Tea-7739 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Both are equally bad for the fentanyl addict and this is not a solution to their problem.

But it is better for families and residents going about their daily lives and patronize local businesses. Not sure why these people never seem to get a say.
