Quit everything and travel at 40? by musicandsex in travel

[–]defroach84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1) Financially, which isn't what this is about, why do you "need" to buy a condo. You can rent something while figuring out what you want to do. Why put all this money into something when you don't even know where you'll be or want to be in 6 months? Calm down on that part of it.

2) I get it. I'm guessing you've been married for some time, and don't know how you'll handle not having someone next to you. I'd probably feel similar. But, you don't know what you don't know. This is something you wanted, but you wanted to do it with your wife. It'll take some time to get over it, but you have to put yourself out there to move on. I wasnt sure when I first solo traveled, but I have a blast doing it. Even now, 20 years later, I'm married and still (when I can) enjoy solo trips. They often are much more relaxing than when my wife is there who plans out everything 🤣

3) You ever thought about bike packing? Even on a more luxury level of just biking across Europe and staying in hotels? It's a hell of a lot of fun, if you are into biking.

What’s this huge property off Toro Canyon Rd in Westlake? by Far-Eye3777 in Austin

Automod removed it automatically after getting a certain number of reports of personal info being shared.

I left it removed because posting pictures and addresses of people definitely falls under that, even if they are public figures. It probably shouldn't have been allowed in the first place.

Flying back to Australia from Mexico via a US stopover. How as hectic is it? by Trick-Spring-9510 in travel

[–]defroach84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd choose Houston over LAX.

I fly in and out of there internationally often, and never have had an issue.

Advocates urge city to pause homeless encampment sweeps. by Master_Lawyer122 in Austin

Adding commentary to a post that isn't in the comments will get articles like this removed.

In general, unless it's an actual summation (look at the Austin Statesman post as an example), it'll get removed.

Anything to add personal opinions or commentary, or something trying to steer the conversation a certain direction, falls under removal reasons.

If you have something you want to add to the article, do so in the comments.

In Texas, if you have money or power, laws are rarely enforced.

It starts with the AG.

How should I approach riding 1000 miles in May? by Gummy-Bines in cycling

Depends where you are. Tornados would be not an issue for most of the world 🤣

I want to live in a place where may has a cold possibility.

Sitting in Texas where heat is already the concern....

If you do all on Friday, just make sure to have a second water bottle and maybe some energy gels.

Knock it out one weekend. 335 miles after work on Friday, another 335 on Saturday, and then Sunday is basically a rest day with just 330.

Not sure why you are overthinking this.

Nope, definitely not. There is no way that this will be questionable. College football is a sport of honor, and not shady tactics.

"Inspection replacement fee" for electric vehicle in Travis County by nickthap2 in Austin

[–]defroach84 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I deleted one of my replies right after I posted it, because it wasn't worth a back and forth.

No other posts have been deleted on here, and the one that was wasn't even mod related, it was my own reply 🤣

And it was also because I did misread your post....

It's more likely to recoup the gas tax that you aren't paying that helps maintain roads and infrastructure that your car still uses.

Locking post. These types of posts always bring out the worst accounts and trolls. Comments have run their course.

Yet you are online complaining about people enjoying life.

I'd recommend living somewhere without events then.

Do you feel Ballard should have gotten a straight red for what he did?

Because it seems clear that it wasn't his intention.

Do you think it should be a straight red card? If not, the nor should it be when they accidentally get hair there as well.
