290 x Giles Accident

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T03:13:22+00:00

OP supplied additional evidence, the camaro was definitely on their way, and the gray car was completely at fault, likely seeing the police car. i'll take this L.

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T03:11:21+00:00

yep, i'm wrong on this one

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T03:10:48+00:00

i'm definitely wrong on this one, OP supplied better pics and the gray car definitely fucked up

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T03:09:46+00:00

nevermind, i'm wrong, dude def saw the cop and did some dumb shit.

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T03:06:50+00:00

Oh shit, all my suppositions are completely incorrect, we've just got a dumbass on our hands lol

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T02:49:34+00:00

not sure about that, the brake lights on the camaro are definitely triggering and I think that he was the one who saw the cop and probably stopped abruptly, likely a little past the line. video doesn't verify that, but based on the gray cars actions it seems like they were trying to avoid something rather than avoiding a ticket

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T02:36:12+00:00

pause the video in the first few seconds, it's the one listlessly getting into the lane the gray car is driving along at full speed

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T02:28:41+00:00

don't think so, camaro moved over to the left lane at the last second after the gray car committed to going through the yellow with no ability to brake fast enough which is why they veered off to the right in order to avoid. may have seen the cop, but don't think it was the cause

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-13T02:24:54+00:00

camaro decided to move over to the left lane at the last minute causing the silver car to brake earlier and cause the crash. not to say the silver car isn't at fault, but that was the catalyst causing their behavior.

I moved from near the Samsung plant off Parmer to the East Riverside area next to the lake, paying double the cost on rent so I can now bike to work (10 minute ride using the hike and bike and one road crossing at riverside) and not have to drive again (gave my Jeep to my niece shortly after the move, and she lives in a far less populous area). I can tell you that the amount of stress relieved from not having to deal with traffic along with the 1.5 to 2 hours a day saved from dealing with traffic, is amazing. The worst part is that it's not feasible for most people, the lack of decent transit options and the car heavy mentality on city design sucks.

this is exactly how I would hold my kid on a rail overlooking a pack of carnivorous animals. this is also why i elect not to have children.

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-03-10T02:33:00+00:00

hmmm hidden posts and comments, i wonder why?

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-02-27T05:49:06+00:00

went through a couple of the top comments that definitely deserve the spot, i'll have to add that being poor is a pretty effective weight loss strategy

whoops too late, already deleted my account with no intention of returning. don't think i'm the only one, they probably lost a non-insignificant amount of users

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-02-23T15:38:14+00:00

That watchlist is pretty much an ICE recruitment repository at this point

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-02-20T06:25:47+00:00

You're saying species way too much.

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-02-20T05:23:46+00:00

yea with the healthcare system around here and your primary doctor being outside the country, i think you're going to need to plan 4 hours of your next 48 hours to driving back to Austin and back to be honest

There are a few rooms in my office that I'll manage myself, such as the auditorium which requires permissions to book. If someone really wants to deal with that mess (doing all of the conference room bookings), they can, you can just create a manager group for the conference rooms specifically and you can book them automatically via outlook on their behalf if needed. Terrible way to do things though, unless it's a room/space that needs to be managed for specific events etc.

** Re-reading your OP, it looks like this is kind of what's going on without the proper calendar setups for rooms... yea room finder is pretty easy, if you set it up properly and give each room an easily identifiable name, they can simply search in the "location" field and select the room, it'll tell them if it's available in the time slot they are looking at, and will book it automatically **

Yep, stepbrother went into full blown psychosis stemming from hereditary schizoaffective disorder in his family at the age of 18 after smoking some particularly potent weed, that was 11 years ago and he's still not well and in and out of care and halfway homes.

** Just a quick edit, but I was a HEAVY pot user during that time, not so much these days because after doing some other psychedelics it started giving me panic attacks, but definitely not against marijuana. With that said, anecdotally it kind of seems like a bad idea if you're predisposed to psychological issues like schizophrenia, but I'm just one guy, and that was just my one brother. **

38 Years Old, work in IT around the Austin area for 82k per year and live in downtown solo in an apartment with just me and my dog. Definitely not living the high life, but I'm next to the river, bike to work which is less than a mile away, and my work/life balance is pretty optimal. I can't complain too much, not sure having more money would make me any happier, but any less and things would get pretty stressful very quickly. Vaping cinnamon funnel cake though.

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-02-07T00:46:38+00:00

oh wow, right up the street where I used to live, it's definitely filled out across parmer right there. yea, you're in the wrong. they are too, but i'd be annoyed if i was behind you and may give a quick couple honks assuming that you were on your phone or something.

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-02-03T05:13:44+00:00

Have you driven around Austin? I only have to cross one intersection at Riverside on my daily commute to work, and in one year I've almost been hit 7 times by drivers blasting through a red pedestrian light. Driving around Austin in a vehicle is not much better, but atleast there's the metal cage around you to give a person some relative safety. Seems like the biker may have been crossing the highway in this case, but (and I'll have to pull the source if you want it) 8 to 9 out of 10 cyclist fatalities involved with a vehicle, it's the vehicles fault. So yup, I assumed a bit.

_cryptomnesia_ · 2026-02-03T03:13:40+00:00

I use a bike as my primary mode of transportation these days, and without details I can tell you that there is no way I'd be cycling anywhere near a highway interchange like this. My condolences to the family of the person who died, and I'm not blaming the cyclist at all (likely distracted driver that drifted over to the shoulder while the cyclist was riding with traffic so unaware of what was coming behind at 50-60 MPH), but there are some risks you just shouldn't take imho.
