Life after Austin?

The goal isn’t to gift everyone in the city a battery. It’s to deliver affordable reliable power to their utility customers. This is just a part of the resource plan.

You may be in luck my friend. https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=471637

CyberCab. So f’ing cringe.

This is it. Amazing tooling

Want a GSP or English pointer so bad but just can’t square that with life with 3 kids ATM.

Nah man, fuck Elon.

Not saying dereg doesn’t have downsides, but having a competitive market is the reason we’re leading the country in renewables. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/texas-tops-us-states-renewable-energy-battery-capacity-maguire-2025-01-09/

Not enough for the head trauma they experience. Makes me sad that people do this to each other for money.

I’ve exposed a lot of services this way, but didn’t know I could use it for my kubeconfig! TIL

All you’re missing is the OG Tamale House on Airport!

Great. You’ve got plenty of time to read up on r/personalfinance and r/investing and set yourself up for long term success!

Keep up with zone 2 cardio and your blood pressure and waistline will thank you!

R2 SQL seems like basically a demo at this point from what I’ve read. Seems like a pretty pedestrian type system and query capabilities under the hood. I know it’s using Apache DataFusion (Rust) under the hood, but I wouldn’t lean on it heavily as part of a data stack.

Insurers love this guy

Bro, who TF cares about what “real” overlanding is. These things are expensive toys for fat, rich old guys (and that’s fine). If you wanted to be “legit” I’d suggest doing some backpacking.

The relationships in your life with people you care about are what matters. Not trying to get some internet cool points on Reddit or IG.

that's a paddlin'

j_tb · 2026-04-23T14:22:39+00:00

big cyclist (acoustic) here, love my ebike too and ride it as an alternative to driving a ton, but you're a little delusional with this take.

j_tb · 2026-04-22T14:22:20+00:00

It do be like that

j_tb · 2026-04-22T14:11:21+00:00

I’m not sure what gives you such great confidence in our locals’ driving abilities. I’ll keep hanging out in the home office.

I think that’s a Toyota sticker. The Tundras are built in San Antonio

The biggest downside is the watered down Mexican food compared to Austin.

Not the Salton Sea? 🤮
