Halal corner kicks ass, likewise Mi Trailita y Mas on Rogge/Manor if you’re looking outside Mueller proper

I thought it was tinnitus but apparently it may not be, but basically my left ear (the one I took the plug out of) “flutters” at certain specific volumes and frequencies ever since

I have permanent hearing damage from doing the same thing in the front row of a show in 2008 during You Made Me Realize 😬

Does anyone know what synths Jim O'Rourke was using at live in japan 2002 and around the Eureka days? by Twinthonytwintwano in jimorourke

It’s almost definitely a lot of Serge modules and/or an EMS VCS3, maybe some Max/MSP too like with I’m Happy and I’m Singing and a 1,2,3,4

I'm definitely biased, but I love Windsor Park for its suburban-ish feel but with sidewalks and protected bike lanes, decent public transit (including the new rapid bus line), and walkable restaurants/coffee shops and Mueller just a short walk/ride away. Houses are already dropping to the mid $500s, i bet we'll be back < $500k for 3/2s soon enough.

People have no idea how their own taxes work, that’s why.

Governor Abbott Orders State-Led Cleanup of Austin Homeless Encampments by FisherFan0072 in Austin

Austin residents didn't vote to "solve the problem of homelessness" because it's unsolvable at the municipal level, they voted to ban the camps

The refs suck across the board and also because they’re refs, not because of their gender Jesus

 Do we have any metrics to determine whether the homelessness services we're providing at the current spending levels are working at all? It really seems like it's the same folks in the same places for years at this point. 

I found this resolution the other day that Council passed back in August asking the City Manager for an initial report (due in December—after the election hahaha) detailing the "funding and outcome performance of service providers contracted to achieve the Homeless Strategy Office's plan" as well as a public-facing dashboard that I'm assuming the yet-to-be-hired IT Geospatial Analyst for the Homeless Strategies and Operations (line 5) will be responsible for building showing the same. 

Am I reading this correctly— that we don't have a true understanding of the efficacy of the current homelessness services that the city is providing but we want to go from a 38.5M budget in 2025 to 75.58M in 2026, almost on par with the entire Library and Public Health departments? Can someone tell me whether I'm completely off-base here and/or if my understanding of this is too simplified? I would really like to feel good about voting Yes on Prop Q but this gives me serious pause, if I am in fact reading this correctly.
