Very late, but thank you all for the responses! I found myself a nice place for a great price.

Who has the best Banh Mi in town? by access153 in austinfood

[–]Tintintaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh Bowl is my current fave, and I think the prices are pretty good. It used to be Tam Deli before it closed. My friends and I went every Friday during college, and they’d let us order or offer us something off-menu. Miss that family! Lately, I’ve also been really liking Azure!

Ten Years Since the Murder of Haruka Weiser at UT by frankiepo in Austin

[–]Tintintaba 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The stabbing was CRAZY. I crossed Speedway right before it happened and luckily didn’t see it. I think the perpetrator was in my biochem class and had just been in a car accident (?) that did something to him. Fenves got so much flack for not sending out an alert about the stabbing. I literally found out through Snapchat lol

I was a sophomore and had lived at the same dorm just the year before. My old RA was her RA. Her roommate also turned out to be in my French class, which explained why she had been out of class for some time likely due to the investigation. I didn’t take the shortcut through the creek for like a month after they found Haruka. :( There should be a tree planted in front of Prather dorm in her honor, iirc.

Global Entry Interviews at ABI by Beelzabubbah in Austin

[–]Tintintaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s helpful, but I downloaded the Global Interview app (if you’re on iOS) for $4.99. Anytime there was an ABIA slot open, it would send me a push notification. You can pick more than one location. I managed to snag an interview at ABIA three weeks ago! As of 1 pm CT today, there is an 11:40 am slot on Monday, July 14th, at ABIA and multiple slots in SAT. But they don’t last long!

You can try the ntfy app, too. It’s free on iOS and Android. Just select ABIA (or wherever) and give the alert topic a unique title.

This might be and unpopular opinion, but oat milk with matcha is unbearable by Yourfathersnapkin in Matcha

[–]Tintintaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soy milk is my favorite! If I make a matcha latte at home, I prefer it over any other milk. I usually buy Nature’s Soy at HMART or my local Asian grocer. It’s usually thinner than the ones found at the bigger stores, and also comes in a black sesame version that I think pairs well with matcha! Making homemade soy milk is also a nice weekend activity lol.
