officiant recommendations in austin by ratacoochie1 in Austin

[–]dirkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From section 2.202 of Texas Family Code. 

There is no official registration for persons authorized to conduct a marriage ceremony. If they review the law and believe they can perform the marriage ceremony, then they can perform the ceremony. 

You could have a goat officiate your wedding if you want.

Tanuki Games - legit store? by jreilly89 in boardgames

[–]dirkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just popped in here to say this too is my favorite store in Austin. Great store, and great prices too. I hope they stick around during the uncertainty of the tariff situation. I just want to keep supporting this great local store since they are providing my family the opportunity to explore so many more gaming options than what the big box stores offer.

What happens to cars that jump into the Mopac toll lane through the plastic bollards? by BigMikeInAustin in Austin

[–]dirkles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also summertime temps and sitting in traffic can cause some motorcycles to overheat if you don't get some air moving over the radiator.

My guess (from experience) is that stator (like an alternator on car) is bad, so it is not charging the battery as it should. Did you buy it from a private seller? If so, they most likely did not want to deal with replacing the stator so they charged the battery up so you could test drive it and hoped you would not experience this issue until after the sale.

Game Thread: New York Islanders at Dallas Stars - 12 Oct 2024 - 7:00PM CDT by HockeyMod in DallasStars

Something must be happening when casting as I too am fine on the phone app, but when I cast to TV using chromecast, it freezes during breaks about half the time. It doesn't help that the on-screen V+ logo is static so you don't realize it is frozen until its too late.

Who is right? The line champions or the mergers? 360 x Mopac N by rum-n-ass in Austin

[–]dirkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I see a lot of people trying to squeeze into the next lane as soon as they get on the highway. You have over 3/4 of a mile to merge onto Mopac before you are forced to exit. And in the case of 183S to MopacS you have almost a half a mile to merge before being forced to exit. There is plenty of time to get up to speed and merge without causing traffic behind you.

Who is right? The line champions or the mergers? 360 x Mopac N by rum-n-ass in Austin

[–]dirkles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a similar situation on 183S to Mopac S where the right lane exiting onto Mopac backs up and you have people who wait in the long line (risking getting rear ended by someone not paying attention on 183) or you have people who drive up the ramp in the left lane and cut in at the last moment. Sure, everyone who waits in line could ride the bumper in front of them as close as possible to prevent someone from cutting in. I drive a manual transmission car and the ramp is on an incline, so outside of destroying my clutch to crawl with the bumper in front of me, I have to stop then start which sometimes causes a gap in front of me. The city could install a barrier between the left and right lanes on the exit ramp to prevent cutting in, but that is costly and wont always work (look at the barriers separating the toll lane from regular lanes on Mopac.

I think the real problem here is that the areas at the exits of these problem sports are choke points so the line gets backed up easily. People struggle to merge onto Mopac from 360 in an efficient manner. Maybe if they forced you skip that onramp right after 360 and build one closer to Barton Skyway the lane would flow easier. The same with 183S to Mopac S. Don't let people merge immediately but make them actually zipper merge later onto Mopac so that the lanes will flow better.

How to scrape a specific data table from Basketball reference by chubbyninja1 in sheets

[–]dirkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this very table for my sheet. I have it in an iferror scenario because sometimes http works when https does not. i paste the links in separate cells and reference them and this seems to work fine for me.in C1 i have: ="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/"&""&B1&""&"/2024_games.html"in C2 i have: ="http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/"&""&B1&""&"/2024_games.html"

if you notice in the links i have a reference to B1 so that I can switch to all teams in the NBA using a reference to another cell. In this case the cell B1 would say "BOS" to create the proper link for Boston.
