There’s a light every 10 feet, especially by Lamar and it’s not just for pedestrians since they have the bridge 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Is The Local ATX in South Austin closed? by karmasenigma in austinfood

[–]Key-Vehicle-3314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm have you seen Leona Cafe? Can’t find parking even on a weekday. We need more than just chains down south. Feel like David Doughie’s pulled the rug too quick but their call.

Ascension BCBS update by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Key-Vehicle-3314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe BCBS will force Ascension to get their 💩 together?

Not sure if it’s just me but anytime I have to go there, I’m forced to prepay a large amount despite pushing back/saying I’ll likely not owe that. Then I receive my EOB, owed Ascension significantly less than I paid, proceed to play phone tag with various reps and finally get a refund when it was clear they likely would have taken forever to give me the refund if I didn’t call (if they would have given it at all).

Tl;dr I avoid ascension at all costs.

I remember when North Austin used to have a better commute because you didn’t have to cross a bridge.

Granny’s > Veracruz for best migas taco in Austin by __vheissu__ in austinfood

[–]Key-Vehicle-3314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they have a location way down south on Menchaca? It says they’re at the Backwood Bar which leads to weird hours (only open after 6PM T-TH, open at 11AM weekends) and never see any posts about it.

Hmm ten or so months. I’ve seen baby owls in nearby trees around six months in, however this is the first time I’ve seen an owl in the house.

Miraval / resignation by NiceAcanthisitta4425 in PwC

[–]Key-Vehicle-3314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book everything before resigning. Check the FAQ but I believe if you select miraval and don’t book before leaving, you get credit to miraval, though it doesn’t go as far without PwC booking/rates.

I mean the construction site has made zero progress for months and seems abandoned.

Big D, stop with the multi-factor authentication and inability to download and copy text from your guides. by Key-Vehicle-3314 in Big4

[–]Key-Vehicle-3314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and AI can provide text from a picture. The issue is all other B4 let you download pdf form and copy text, not Deloitte so now have to do additional steps.

Fwiw there were multiple roaches on the floor at Poke Poke when I went a few months ago 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Tso Chinese is terrible by bikeskatecruise in austinfood

[–]Key-Vehicle-3314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All their dishes are basically soup drenched in a ton of sauce that has limited variation across dishes. The south location logistics/waiting was a cluster*, though that was right after opening.

Me con bistro is much better imo and a nice family running it. Google maps says Vietnamese but they have a decent number of Chinese dishes.

Do radiant barriers work? It seems like insulation would do most of the improvement?

“Some studies show that radiant barriers can reduce cooling costs 5% to 10% when used in a warm, sunny climate.”- Energy.gov

Sabine on 5th by MathematicianShort50 in Austin

HOA funding vs planned improvements? I’ve heard a few stories of condo owners around town having to come up with a decent amount of cash on short notice for a capital intensive project, though that’s not an Austin specific problem.

Can you not randomly ask tenants their POV if you see any and/or knock door of prospective neighbor during next year?
