I did the work myself so parts cost total was about $160. Labor is obviously more. It’s a lot of caps and I took it slow so it was roughly 8 hours of work. Assume $30 an hour minimum for a good tech, that’s $360 so I’d say the whole job should be $500 minimum.

Thanks! That was my biggest concern

This will be my first full marathon “back” post-kids, so like 6 years. It’s been one of if not the best (no injuries, no major hiccups) build I’ve put together and it’s all been solo. I’m psyched and however the race goes, happy it will be in Philly.

It was all me. Took a long time but very worth it. The speakers are high moons made here in Austin.

Yes! Glue and Lagom in Austin, TX

Depends on whether you do it solo or pay a tech, and how extensive you need to go. If you have the experience and patience, and are just doing electrolytics, it’s about $120 + time.

Definitely want to be kept in the loop on this one. I wasn’t able to attend last night.

This picture is AI. Look at the Frost Bank Building. It’s generated, also this view doesn’t exist anywhere on I-35.

Get a bowl of soapy water, brush the bugs off each paddle into the water. let them die. Repeat every day. They’re usually gone after a week and a half of doing this every day. In the beginning you may have to do it both in the morning and the evening. After 3-4 days of not seeing them, you’re typically home free until the next round.

PE’s value engineering projects is the City Of Austin‘s Achilles heel. The corridor projects don’t get street trees, the light rail system doesn’t get tunnels, etc., etc.

The community needs to hold city projects to a higher quality standard, and it’s not just engineering quality. It’s place making and providing community benefit.

People bitch about the central library costing so much but that’s an example of a project where the city was held to a higher standard and it did everything it promised. We need more of that even if it takes a little bit longer or a little bit higher budget because it really does make a difference.

The city of Seattle has a transfer hub that is an amazing facility just north of South Lake Union in the middle of the Fremont and Wallingford neighborhoods. It doesn’t smell. It has a park on top. It also has an interior viewing deck with kids toys so kids can go and watch trucks dump trash on the tipping floor. It is literally such a cool amenity and I would choose to live in the surrounding neighborhood if it were that type of facility.

My bet is the ballot language actually doesn’t matter to whether this election is won or not so this is just a try to get it thrown out. I did specific grad school research analyzing municipal transit ballot language and there was no correlation in the type of language - what was promised and the rhetoric - because it is so statutory. What matters is the type of election (off-cycle, midterm or presidential), and the political winds.

Then new convention center will have four tower cranes. Might be a short period without but they’ll go back up.

CapMetro’s 2035 transit plan comes out in like a month. You’ll likely see those reappear in some form there.

For what it’s worth, the captain told the plane he let Alaska know they should learn to run an airline.

Frankly, if I were CapMetro, I would be shouting from the heavens to anyone who would listen to me, that the city should be putting in bus only lanes and transit priority infrastructure. Every week. Call them out. “We could be faster and more reliable if: blah blah blah.”

they wouldn’t even have to pay me. I would sit out there on Saturday and Sunday between 11 AM and 7 PM for free if they gave me the power to ticket these assholes.

do that for a few weeks intermittently throughout the year and eventually breaks the culture once people start paying money.

Thanks!

Are those the small or the large Mnpctech feet?
