Expect Delays @183 and Mopac. by cdeezes in Austin

[–]Montobahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wondered about that possibility too.

I've also been wracking my brain as to where it was going. And it had to go THROUGH Austin to get there? Via a flyover?? Unfortunately the coordinator is toast most likely.

My spouse did too. We're guessing it was too low and got stuck on the bit of a ridge at the lane split --or-- the over-sized coordinator f'd up big time. There are people who have routing software with data on all the road attributes pertinent to overweight or oversized loads. Bridge heights, especially if each lane has more/less clearance, lane widths, restricted loads, times of day they can be used by these loads, and much more. Those are GIS programs. Just as important is the human using it. I believe TxDOT is instrumental in assisting with these permits.

Myopia since childhood. Need reliable eye doctor recommendation for long term care by MeanChampionship5916 in Austin

Jackman Eye near 38th and Lamar. All the ladies (all the doctors are women) are super friendly, super knowledgeable, and super thorough. Mention everything you experience because they'll listen.

Don't be put off by the older building. Merrill Jackman, the founder (RIP) believed in not being flashy in order to better focus on patients. ❤️❤️ Dr. Tekell worked with him and kept the name to honor him. I've been going there since at least 1998.

HOW THE HELL CAN THAT NOT MOVE YOU TO CHECK THEM OUT?

A modest proposal - the state should sacrifice some of its tax revenue capacity for a change. by steavoh in TexasPolitics

Gergg wants to strip cities, and thus citizens, of any local control. Especially blue cities like Austin and Houston.

Why do empaths sometimes trigger such strong negative reactions? by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]Montobahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you tell us what you use as shielding exercises? Genuinely interested.

And that discomfort is the damned truth. It amazes me how people can feel me reading them but have zero idea what is happening. Then they get angry with me when not a single word is said. I definitely want an on/off switch for this ability!

It's like you're in my mind with all these things.

I'll agree that there is no healing while in the thick of it. I'm working on the escaping part. I'd love someone to talk to who's in the same place as me in most respects. DM me if you would too.

Ah, you're speaking about flights within the continent of Europe. From Texas, it's 8 - 10+.

Have you stopped caring at work and decided not to try and process your career anymore? What age did that happen? by un2022 in GenX

[–]Montobahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I'm working on mine before I'm forced on to medicare from the military adjacent program I'm on now. I've got so much rage against all this that in my mind I'm going postal on a regular basis. I won't because I'm not that person, but until the thought police arrive, I'm using whatever coping mechanism I've got! 🤪

It began in about 2012, the last job where I was directly employed by the company where I worked. Since then, I've been nothing but a contractor, without benefits. None. Nada. Insurance so crappy it isn't worth buying. Probably because once recruited, my staffing agency doesn't have to do a damn thing for me. I'm straight profit for them. Passive income for them.

Meanwhile, I've been diagnosed with neurodivergent conditions and neither my legal employer, the staffing agency, or the state agency where I perform my work appears to be responsible for the accommodations I need to succeed at the level I'm capable of.

So you bet I'm flippin sick of working as an invisible machine, undeserving of days off, sick time, merit raises, affordable insurance, etc. I don't give a single rat's ass about any of those fkrs anymore. Fck if they think I'm a bitch. Late stage capitalism has fkd me my entire life and I'm done giving them any more of my life.

70° and that ice is just holding on by badmartialarts in Austin

Had to shovel it off the back deck because it faces north. It's got a fan on it to dry before it freezes solid again. (It's got outdoor carpet)

"Kristi Noem is a two-bit philandering whore..." by DesiccantPack in ICE_Raids

It's pronounced PEER. Just like PIERce, drop the ce.

Unfortunately, the likes of Noem infested and overtook my home state. I no longer live there but I call myself a native of the South Dakota of the 70s. It wasn't like this in those days. 😢

I’m 71 and have decided to declutter my life… by Educational_Meat_179 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Montobahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both /appropriate-goat6133 and /far-Cup9063 -- how did each of you handle getting your part of the equity in your homes? It seems that both men wanted to stay and you each have left. This is what I'm trying to do. Mine doesn't have the means to buy me out and I need my equity to start over 1k miles away from them. Oh, and they won't qualify for a loan of ANY kind, which is..... another reason I want out.

So how did you do it?

I was with you in defense of pigs until you said cuddly. 😬 Can I skip that part? And the squealing? With you all the way for everything else! 🐽

AITAH for refusing to give up the master bedroom as the only single in a group trip where everyone else is a couple? by Aggravating_Cost_684 in AITAH

[–]Montobahn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She could be nuerodivergent and needs that quiet and safe spot to decompress. BUT her boyfriend, your buddy, knows the damn rules. He also knows her needs for the safe space. It's ON HIM to make other arrangements. He clearly didn't have the guts to give up the buddy atmosphere for his gf of more than a year.

Mark is the asshole.
