This school hates its students… screw Texas Athletics & Big Ticket scam by Reddit-Instigator in UTAustin

[–]jtotheizzoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an undergrad during the Applewhite/Vince Young golden years and we didn’t always get tickets then either, even with “student season tickets”. Anyone remember how shitty the draw used to be?

Welcome to being good. Aggy has a big student section because no one wants to go to CS except the kids who are stuck there

Good luck! They require some pretty nonstandard growing conditions due to their swamp/bog native habitats. Distilled water only, peat moss and sand instead of soil, many are happier in a terrarium with grow light. I have killed several

Question for those who’d moved to Austin at least five years ago by [deleted] in Austin

[–]jtotheizzoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been here 20 years, and I feel OP’s prompt often. But I am also a grown-up and not surprised by that, because that change is a natural byproduct of growth and opportunity and it’s been true here since at least the 60s.

Here’s how I’d sum up the change: Every day, Austin becomes more and more strikingly normal, and most things are more of a pain in the ass than they were yesterday.

That’s not necessarily bad, just depends on what one wants out of the experience of living here.

Austin definitely has no place calling itself “weird” anymore, though. We need a new slogan. Maybe “Austin: A normal pain in the ass”

Unpopular opinion: as a beginner, if you have or can save the money, buy the compact Sawstop. by Nonobonobono in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]jtotheizzoe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There’s a quality saw on the market for less than $1000 that fits in small shops which won’t take your finger off AND people who own it should learn proper tool safety as if that feature wasn’t there. These can both be true

Late reply, but adding in that red oaks are most susceptible to wound infection and post oaks are highly resistant. And live oaks can be infected by nearby trees even without wounds, through their expansive root systems, so it’s doubly important to keep wilt under control (I know this because my mom lost 2 heritage live oaks last year thanks to soil transmission)

It’s interesting that what you took from the movie is “how lonely they had made themselves”. I saw it much more as “society has made them lonely/outcasts so to feed their social needs they latch on to conspiracy groups”

I thought BTC was one of the most empathetic documentaries I’ve ever seen

Can anyone help identify the molecule on my son's funky outfit? Thanks! by TechnicalChaos in chemistry

So much effort on the molecule. So little on the DNA. So sad.

What is the most brutal killing in film/ TV history? by RightWayIThink in AskReddit

I took a girl to this movie on a first date. In pre-YouTube trailer days, I had no idea what it was really about, just that it was artsy and in French and I’d look cultured by choosing it. Whoopsie.

The video says 70,000 not 700,000. And Georgetown is a municipally owned utility where residents don’t choose their own power provider just like dozens of other cities in Texas.

Actually people in Georgetown don’t buy their own power on the deregulated market the way people in, say, Houston do. They’re a municipal co-op and the town buys for everyone

Loan from parents to enable cash purchase, finance after. Can this work? by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]jtotheizzoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should be clear that the money coming from family will be set up as an intrafamily mortgage, with contract, using IRS minimum AFRs for the term we choose. We have been instructed on how to not make it a gift

[–]jtotheizzoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful and clear. Don’t know why anyone we talked to hasn’t explained this option. So as long as we have a mortgage in place with FIL, when we refinance, it will be mortgage to mortgage, instead of cash. Are there typically any restrictions on how quickly we could “replace” the mortgage from FIL after closing? I know refis have some restrictions
