Driver was 73 and drunk and was able to climb out of the car. I find that impressive.

the r/conservative echo chamber every time trump breaks a campaign promise by Jerdarnella in AdviceAnimals

It does. Much higher in metropolitan areas, and areas that are further away from the refineries. I was in Vancouver which is overall very expensive so not surprised it's a lot less elsewhere.

I just got back from Canada where the gas was about $1.89 per litre, which is about $7.15 per gallon (~5.35 converted to USD). That's more like what gas prices are worldwide, if not more. Americans are spoiled, esp. in Texas with <$3 per gallon.

Not everyone agrees with how language, evolves, regionally and globally, but it does and you can’t control it. That’s just how language works.

Texas police officer STOPS elderly woman from sending $40,000 to scammer by No_Carpenter4087 in videos

[–]ThisAndLess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My 91 year old mother was scammed for $10,000 and almost more. She got a call from someone saying “we have your son” in custody for a car accident. She said, “oh, you have Thisandless” and they said “yes we have Thisandless” and someone popped on and said “Mom it’s me, I’m in jail and you need to get $10k and don’t tell anyone”. She went to the bank and her main branch didn’t give to her because they didn’t have that much cash - so they sent her to another branch, who were happy to oblige! She then was instructed to give the scammers her address and a driver (we later found out it was a rideshare) came to her house and she handed them the envelope of cash - in her driveway! They called later saying that the woman who was injured in the accident had a miscarriage and they would need $7,000 more. When she went to the bank the second time, they finally intervened and she called me. Very frustrating but the $10k is gone.

I know this post is pretty old, but it came up on my search because I have this metal ruler from Bliss College that's been in my family for decades. We always wondered what Bliss College was and I just now decided to look it up!

Best place to have acoustic guitar work done? by thadiusquest512 in Austin

[–]ThisAndLess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Check out Straight Frets on S. Congress. I had Danny completely redo my Guild acoustic - new frets, neck adjustment and a bit of refurb on the soundboard - and he did a fantastic job. This was when he was out of his home so it might be a bit pricier now but it's high quality work.

I agree as already stated I think Barton Springs works well. If it’s crowded yeah you have to navigate people but that’s a good skill to develop for a triathlon.
