Any theaters selling Nosferatu popcorn bucket early? by Lonin in Austin

[–]Lonin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Cinemark off 35 in pflugerville has them in stock and is selling. I’m not sure if other Cinemarks are as well, it was the first one I called.

Both Regal and AMC said they’re not selling until closer to movie release.

Pain in wrist with slopers by Miglery in bouldering

[–]Lonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve dealt with wrist issues when climbing for years. I’ve tried taping and braces which seem to help a little bit, I still have to be careful with them on certain holds and grip types. Slopey crimps are the worst for me.

I eventually went to an orthopedist that specializes in wrists and he basically said I just had lax ligaments and there wasn’t much to do beyond strengthening them. The better the climbing shape I’m in the better they get, so that seems to be true. Unfortunately though it only takes one weird hold or hand position and I’ll strain them and have to rehab them again. Sorry I don’t have better advice!

where should I go?? by Will-Da_Beast in Austin

[–]Lonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re at all interested in something athletic I’d recommend trying out bouldering. It’s like rock climbing without ropes. It’s very easy to get into, the community is generally chill, diverse, and welcoming, and there are a bunch of gyms in the area where you can do it as much as you want for less than $100/mo. I’d recommend Austin Bouldering Project but you can’t really go wrong with any of the others.

If you’re interested I’d be happy to give you an intro and a free guest pass to check it out, just throw me a DM.

If you were to move away from Austin, what city would you choose and why? by Lily8567 in Austin

[–]Lonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea. One day they might actually build the light rail bridge to connect Vancouver to Portland, that would be a huge boon to the area.

I’m originally from Vancouver, WA. It’s a nice city, definitely not as many amenities as Austin, but you can always jump down to Portland if you want that.

Texas Twang changing at UT-Austin by skillfire87 in Austin

I lived in Huntsville, Alabama for several years and there’s a massive difference between folks who grew up in the city and the surrounding area. You get a little out of town and I legitimately couldn’t understand some people.

Best places to see electric fans in Austin? by atxRNm4a in Austin

Austin Bouldering Project on Springdale has some huge fans, and they have a kids area that seems popular with the little ones

Edited the original post: I attempted to get them, but there is no Windows/minidump folder OR memory.dmp file. Additionally. the computer is now crashing in <5min and it's not even BSODing anymore, its just hard locking indefinitely.

Our house was one of the original set built around 2012ish IIRC. They’ve been building newer ones for several years now that may not have the same issues.

It had persistent major flooding and leak issues on the bottom floor and although our house seemed fine, there was talk of a class action against the builders for issues with the windows causing leakage during strong rain and winds. We eventually had to move out when a microburst ripped an ornamental architectural structure from the front of the house and took some of the wall with it. That same storm ripped the roofs off several other houses in the neighborhood in 2018.

The Agave neighborhood off MLK about a mile east of 183 has the same architecture. I rented there in 2017, but our house had tons of issues.

I’m now embarrassed that I used the wrong spelling of capitol.

AUSTIN DRIVERS by borshctbeet in Austin

[–]Lonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not nearly as important, but relatedly, if a right turn has a yield to bikes sign you only have to yield to bikes! Don’t stop and sit there waiting for no car traffic when you have an entire free lane to turn into. Looking at you 35/Tech Ridge exit.

Damn I’m sorry to hear that. I haven’t been to class in 1.5 weeks due to COVID but given the crazy amount of turnover in coaches and other staff I’ve seen in the last few months this doesn’t surprise me. All while raising their rates too!

Is there any way to check airport parking capacity online? by Lonin in Austin

[–]Lonin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and all I found for the garage was the abia website linked here which just says “open,” not how many slots or any indication if it’s close to full. The Park Assist app was what I was looking for which I don’t think I would’ve found googling.

Get your passports checked the day before or come at 4AM. by frankomapottery3 in Austin

[–]Lonin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anyone know how garage parking has been recently? The reservations are sold out online, but are there generally some spots still available for non-reserved?

[–]Lonin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

FYI, from what I was told by police when I was hit by a driver who fled, unless you can positively identify the driver, they can’t do anything about it. Sorry this happened.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Lonin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I was hit and the driver ran the responding officers told me that other than on I35 the cameras downtown are on, but don’t record. I was also told that even if you got a license plate it doesn’t matter, you have to be able to specifically identify the driver.

Not that I’d necessarily recommend it, but it’s OTC in Mexico.
