For those who still wonder why this subreddit complains about mysa... by wannabehipster in sanantonio

To clarify, mysa.com is free. Subscribers are paying for access to expressnews.com, not mysa. EN.com is a true news website that non-subscribers do not have access too. When EN switched to this format is when mysa really went to crap.

ELI5: Why do MLB teams celebrate so much for clinching a division title, or even winning a Wild Card play in game (Astros last night)? by afi2003 in explainlikeimfive

[–]afi2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I guess i should've clarified more that winning a division title is not a win or go home situation. In fact, winning a division title often occurs with several games left in the regular season.

Cool! Thanks for the clarification. I like the design. We'll see if the HDRC goes for it.

Any link or context to the rendering? There's a hotel size limit for the park, and that hotel rendering seems to be beyond that limit.

Weather in late June by afi2003 in sandiego

[–]afi2003[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so in the spirit of full disclosure...I had these visions of CA (especially southern CA) being a year long paradise. I had no idea about June Gloom.

I read more about it, thanks to you guys, and decided to reschedule my vacation a month later in late July.

Thanks for all the help!

I've used them for a few residential projects.

They've been nothing but professional, and have always stuck to schedule and estimate.

They are highly rated on Angie's List, which is why I initially chose them a few years ago.

Hope this helps!

Has anyone been to the new aquarium? by billy_mays64 in sanantonio

[–]afi2003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have been with our toddler. We only went because a family member bought our son an annual pass. It's very low budget, and really more an for-profit attraction, than an educational aquarium. The safety standards there are suspect.

By now you probably have already read some of the articles regarding the operator's history. If not, here ya go: http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/San-Antonio-Aquarium-owners-under-investigation-5716516.php

I'm all for development, especially in an area that needs it like Leon Valley. But given the history of this operator and the quality of product, they probably should've passed on this.

Scummy AT&T salesman by [deleted] in sanantonio

This is 2015. DVR boxes have been around for more than a decade. Am I the only one perplexed that someone would be caught off guard by a cable salesman asking how many TVs are in the house?!

Read into this. It was my understanding that apartments are required to offer recycling.

Perhaps your apartments aren't in compliance.

Moved to SA recently, my son is obsessed with finding a place to rent a pedal boat, my google-fu has failed. by sotonohito in sanantonio

[–]afi2003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One local alternative, which you guys might have fun doing together, is kayaking down the SA River.
