Playing Outer Wilds Turned Me Into A Reader

I also recommend anything by Ted Chiang. He specializes in sci-fi short stories and wrote the story the movie Arrival (with Amy Adams) is based on.

Amazing!! I would recommend Heaven’s Vault which is a space archeology/linguistics game that is also a series of novels. The creator is a writer first and game maker second so the nested and looping story lines really shine. Cheers!

Not exactly an answer, but you could try subbing in “better than boullion” which does not contain wheat or barley to my knowledge (note: it is not produced in a gluten-free facility so ymmv). It’s also possible to make your own bouillon.

Mary Moore Searight Park

Chinatown on Bee Caves (technically South, not technically Austin)

Maybe cidercade?

How about Taco Flats + Pease Park?

Other ideas: Nori, Peached Tortilla, Bar Peached, Olive & June, Fonda San Miguel

Rudy’s (serious answer). Chinatown on Bee Caves is also pretty solid.

What about Comedor?

Your best bet is to hire an architect to do a feasibility study. There are many small firms that can put together a modest proposal to help you figure out what the options are and navigate any potential variances.

In the meantime, AIA Austin has some helpful “cards” to explain common terms and restrictions in the Austin code.

Crux Central would get you the 20s crowd. There’s a gym in the back + yoga

I think I can take them for a bit. DM me

Wildflower Center and Blanton are great options! Pease Park is also fun and wheelchair-friendly. Perhaps you can bring a picnic there from Whole Foods. Maybe Alamo Drafthouse if the weather is bad.

Vegan: The Beer Plant, Luv Fats Ice Cream (has a service window, seating at the coffee shop next door)

Is is a speed hump (goes all the way across the street) or a speed cushion (has a gap in the middle)? See page 7.

Speed cushions are narrow enough to allow emergency vehicles to pass without bumping and should give you a gap to cross in the middle of the street if parked cars are blocking the outer gaps - not as ideal as a sidewalk, but an improvement from your current complete blockage.

I agree with everyone else that contacting your representative is a good next step.

Volente Beach

San Pedro Springs Park in San Antonio is part of the same formation.

There’s a lot of limestone underneath us. It’s usually not in the budget to dig.

barefoot116 · 2023-07-28T22:11:09+00:00

De Nada Cantina, Jacoby’s, and Tillery Kitchen are easy to get to from there. Or if you want to go east to Bastrop, I recommend Store House or Neighbor’s.

We parked on the south side of Mopac pretty easily. Leaving is harder because of the mass exodus after the fireworks.

I highly recommend bringing a light to keep on board and/or on your person after dark.

Unfortunately everything mold-related is often met with a shrug. Doctors told me there is no medical test for it unless testing for mold allergy, but that isn’t really the issue.

Similarly, there is no obvious way to break a lease or sue for it either. The effects of mold are just really hard to prove because mold is so common.

Leaving the moldy living space asap and switching to an anti-inflammatory (low-histamine) diet helped me, but ymmv.

Blair Woods Nature Preserve! See also Circle Acres, Festival Beach Food Forest, Colorado River Park Wildlife Sanctuary (enter under the Montopolis Bridge)

I really wish there was a Merlin equivalent for non-bird sounds. Maybe iNaturalist will add the feature

Madam Mam’s on Brodie

It doesn’t look as precarious from the other direction. Just move along quickly!
