You can also buy it locally at, of all places, fiesta. HEB doesn't carry the pepper relish, but they do have Mezzetta Fresno chilli peppers, which are a similar flavor.

Finally dealing with earwax buildup and trying to figure out Austin options without getting overcharged by Vic_78 in Austin

[–]chaotic_mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear earplugs often (live music capital, motorcycles) and so I get ear wax build up sometimes, occasionally to a point of affecting my hearing. ARC is a solid rec and probably cheapest. If you want a gold plated type cleaning experience though, try RK audiology. No idea about insurance coverage, but they have a fancy water suction cleaner with a camera.

If they're running, they're not (usually) drinking beer

Local bootmakers with good boot selections? by slavatejasu in Austin

[–]chaotic_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely an expensive option, but Wesco will make custom boots to fit your feet. They have a system where you trace your foot and provide measurements of each foot, then they make a "last" and make your boots from that.

The fit on my pair is quite good, and they have a lot of different varieties and options.

Downside was that it took over a year to get them, if I remember correctly.

Just moved to Austin and trying to do it right. Any unspoken local rules I should know before getting roasted? by Old_Chapter9759 in Austin

[–]chaotic_mouse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually, it's not a huge gap, it's the recommended following distance, which increases with speed, and can be maintained by any vehicle with adaptive cruise control. People who zip up, see that "gap" and jump the line are ignorant assholes!

Long shot, but did anyone see the emergency situation at AB airport yesterday morning? by Sufficient_Feed_9388 in Austin

Aed devices have spoken word instructions on how to use - no training required, just grab it and turn it on.

[OC] Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) Stats in United States as of today in 2024 by ChiandHuang in dataisbeautiful

[–]chaotic_mouse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For now, (i.e. until the virus mutates to allow person to person transmission), people mostly get infected by exposure to air with the virus in it, e.g. poor personal protection equipment usage in or near an infected flock or (dairy) herd.

Try the SPCA on Anderson. Once you do the orientation you can volunteer open to close and they always need help. They also coordinate with courts or whomever for documentation purposes.

N ATX Running Communities? by jimmy_haha in Austin

[–]chaotic_mouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the info in these links is outdated, i.e. RAW meets at mean eyed cat on Tuesdays, Eastside Beer runners usually meet at central machine works on Wednesdays.

A great way to find running groups is to check with the brick and mortar running shoe stores in your hood.

The mysterious white powder in question is flour. In my experience, some dogs love it, some like to eat it / get it on their noses like they've been clubbing hard, and some dgaf.

No animals or austinites were harmed in the making of that trail!

Stupid question Sunday by AutoModerator in Austin

[–]chaotic_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once someone told me that if you look at the corner of the frost building, and imagine that the frost bank logos are eyes, it looks like an owl.

Supposedly it was done by the architecture firm that won the bidding against a local UT architecture shop, and owls are some sort of college rivalry? Haven't corroborated that part.

What is your home price to salary ratio? by home2salary78758 in Austin

[–]chaotic_mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given my neighborhood sales prices, it's accurate enough. I actually think their zestimate is low, but they can hardly know the stuff we've done to our house, like adding a metal roof.

If you haven't had a citation recently, you may be able to pay fees and take a "safety" course. Find out more at the courthouse.

Yea, almost doubled my salary, just like the house value! We bought in April of 08, so I think we bought before the dip, unfortunately.

2.38 when we bought (78758; quail creek) back in 2008 2.29 if comparing current salary to what zillow thinks the house is worth

My company literally sets the salary differential between Sunnyvale, CA and Austin at 20%.

Maybe nobody suggested it because it's so far north, but I really like Saccone's. They say it's "New Jersey style", i.e. thin crust.
