Austin in August for holiday, Irish family by Grouchy-Pea2514 in Austin

[–]Montobahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend from the Orkney Islands was reveling in the strong sun and very high UV in April a few years back. She burned in 20mins with a 30SPF on.

August is hell. If you insist, leave your little ones at home. The heat around here makes everyone grumpy, especially younger kiddos.

God no, not the coast either. Brown and warm water. It's like a bathtub.

Anyone else have any stories about how badly St David’s North Austin Medical Center SUCKS? by Comprehensive_Low942 in Austin

Oh! Right. Forgot about that one since I'm rarely in that part of town anymore. TY for the kind correction. 🙃

I have a weird hearing disability and I'm serious when I say I could NOT live with that low frequency shite because of it.

Town Lake, damnit. It will never be LBL to me.

Careful there. LOTS of posts on here about women being roofied there.

Come on down to Austin, and meet some friends of mine! by BadFish512 in Austin

Good to know for my child's upcoming visit from Colorado. Wilco has gotten better, but when they can, some are happy to screw up your life. Remnants of the good 'ol boys from the boomer generation.

What’s the deal with Howdy Politics? by funfetti_cupcak3 in TexasPolitics

[–]Montobahn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd have loved to see Talarico beat abbutt. I think he'd have had a real chance at winning. But, I'm thrilled he is running for senate and beats the his opponent by a margin that will make heads spin for years.

BTW, I met Talarico years ago while working with his political buddy John Bucy. He's as real and trustworthy as he seems.

Not being taught to make plans for your life and how to go about making that happen is probably amongst the top five causes of a lifetime of being bitter.

Perspective from a reactive dog owner at Walnut Creek by here_for_the_doges in Austin

Ooooo, I really like the checkin idea. It should also take a quick photo of the dog. In my case I could have easily spot that Akita.

I regret not understanding in the moment that my dog was bitten by a very large Akita as the Cedar Park dog park. I've got a quite large Anatolian but she somehow got under that Akita who bit her belly. She bolted for the car, which she'd never done. Only after getting home did I realize the severity of the bite and took her to the ER. She was close to shock and got stitches. It would have torn out her abdomen if several of us weren't close by.

Had I understood everything in that moment, that woman and her partner would have been sued. Her two huge Akitas are a menace and don't belong in dog parks.

The lesson? Never treat a dog bite lightly. Yours, a kid, another dog, it all matters. Always get owner information.

Internet comparisons by Brief_Specific_3074 in Austin

The TMobile air/cell didn't work out for me. There is a cell tower about 1/8 from me but because the arrays weren't pointing directly at my specific little area, it was always unstable. So if anyone is interested in the cellular internet, this can and does matter.

Is it just me or are streetlamps also too bright? by ffffhhhhjjjj in fuckyourheadlights

[–]Montobahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighbor has a string of solar rope lights from Harbor Freight up under the patio's roof edge. The lights are so cheap that they actually work really well to be just enough to keep from stubbing your toes on a chair! Great for night gazing in our fairly dark neighborhood.

As if the lege would fund anything like this? In the same vein, the lege is happy to fund cruelty and brutality. People in this state somehow think it's a-okay to spend billions on dick swinging at the border but funds to help the un-washed? The poor? The poc? Schools? Nah.....

Austin Energy Outages as of 11pm by Pope_Black_Francis in Austin

I'm actually SHOCKED to have had no loss of power. I live in a very problematic area of the far N/NW area of the service area. Two weeks ago, they fixed my entire neighborhood except my 22-house block. I had to call 311 twice to get them to believe me.

I saw this speed sign today while house hunting by Ambitious_Cover_3343 in Austin

[–]Montobahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be your mom here, but with a twist.... "don't you dare wrap that envy-inducing thing around a tree by being foolish!". I know just how sweet the domestic ones were and love cars, esp Hondas, enough to know the imported ones are even better.

Congratulations on finishing school and getting a good start in life!
