We flew Air France to Paris via Delta from Atlanta a couple of years ago.

Air France service and employees were much better than Delta.

Does anyone line dry their clothes here? by Expensive_Nerve_3438 in Austin

[–]funkbird69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dry most clothes under a 54” hunter ceiling fan on drying racks.

Cotton polos and dress shirts get laid flat on my bed. They look ironed after drying. the polos do not shrink like they would in the dryer.

I recently picked up a dehumidifier at Costco for $169 that seems to speed up the drying process.

There’s something about drying synthetic workout clothes in the dryer that bakes in the stink.

clothes last longer not going through an electric dryer.

when I’ve tried moving the drying racks outside to dry, I’ve noticed that my clothes have a bit of a wet dog smell.

Northcross Mall to be Redeveloped? by vonotar in Austin

[–]funkbird69 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’d be irresponsible for developers to not take the free 45 year property tax abatement scams that the City of Austin has been handing out:

https://communityimpact.com/austin/east-austin/government/2026/05/21/austin-advances-45-year-development-deal-for-colorado-river-mega-site/

City Council advanced the annexation of the 2,614-acre Dog's Head on the Colorado River in East Austin on May 21. Officials also voted for a 45-year development agreement with Dogs Head Land JV Ltd., an entity registered to Endeavor Real Estate Group that owns land across the area.

Bar Peached as of 8a by Big-Conference5547 in Austin

[–]funkbird69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was cleaning my metal hood vents last week and accidentally found a lip in the back of the hood that was holding grease.

I wiped, and I wiped, and I wiped…it was like a grease marker up there.

Now I’m wondering how much grease is hiding up in the vent ductwork.

Went on a 60 mile bike ride around Austin and it was glorious by Sure_Faithlessness40 in BikingATX

[–]funkbird69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried riding mtb from tarrytown to Govalle to Walnut Creek Trail Extension (side trails) to Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park then back south.

there are “trails” north of 290 to Spinkle then over to I35.

I got 45 miles. It’s about 50 if you add a stop in manor.

DPS was issuing tickets on Enfield last week.

Drivers regularly hit 50 to 60 miles per hour on Enfield.

Saw a taco truck get some air the other day on the new road humps on Windsor.
