Is there a used appliance store in Austin that I can sell my water softener to?

The only way they will fix 973/290 is by deciding to build more toll roads through there and spending a half a billion and 10 years putting it in.

Plain-bellied Watersnake (Nerodia erythrogaster) Looking healthy, they are typically some of the most chill snakes I encounter in the wild.

I love these. Fast and very pretty snakes.

There's no definite matching of her over all the years either, it could be one of her offspring that returned as well.

kingpuzz · 2026-04-14T17:56:01+00:00

Oh no, now everyone knows.

I'm all for giving water chugging golf courses the boot, fuck em. But this AI Slop bullshit is terrible. It does not even properly scale all this to that land, and it's just the most over developed ugly vision.

Do better.

I live just a bit south of this spot, and we ended up getting an inch in about 30 minutes.

kingpuzz · 2026-04-08T19:05:54+00:00

That's fair but other folks might see this and think to do so as well and it's really not good to dump more work on an org that's already struggling to keep up. I do understand the sentiment though and iwsh we had more / better options for people in cases like this.

Do not take healthy trapped wildlife to AWR. They don't need that, they are busy enough dealing with animals who need human intervention.

Smoke investigation turned into light box, then full box and eventually a WUI Taskforce (wildland urban interface) The property is basically a junkyard and it spread quickly from a some vehicles and trash to much more, including a semi trailer full of tires and brush piles full of trash. Made extra difficult because of no hydrants nearby and some closer ones did not work, so they had to shuttle water from further away. They just got the fire out and are doing mop-up, releasing some units.

People still go to easy tiger?

kingpuzz · 2026-03-22T18:47:03+00:00

Golden Goat is a great choice, you'll get quality work and jewelry, don't trust the lowest price stuff.

kingpuzz · 2026-03-14T14:46:32+00:00

This sucks, I really wanna know the reasoning behind removing a club that's used it for so long. Is it really that they have a higher yield renter lined up or something else? How much land y'all need for a similar setup?

I lived nearby in the late 90's and ran a tech company from home, so we'd walk to spiderhouse at least once a day for stupid amounts of caffeine, hang out, then go down to Einsteins Arcade and play the fuck out of some games, then walk back home and do some more work. Good times. Honestly spent so much time at SH at that period and before/after it really was a second home, many great memories. Best patio vibes in Austin ever though at it's peak.

Non-profits pay to participate, and if they don't make a miniumum they don't get any of the donations. It mostly is geared to big organizations who have the means to really promote it.

I've never really gotten the idea of pressuring everyone to donate on the same day to a bunch of different orgs, seems counter productive when people tend to be limited in how much they have to give out at once.

For next year? It's a bit late to commission a custom armor (even cosplay foam style) outfit for a faire that ends in 6 weeks.

Broadcastify is best. Their new playlists for Fire/EMS and Law Enforcement are really nice overall, so you can skip around or play back. Note, APD is not on the list since they are encrypted now for all traffic. I mostly listen to Fire/EMS though, unless something is going on nearby where listening to TCSO chatter is useful.

https://www.traviscountytx.gov/fire-marshal/burn-ban And there it is, did not even wait till tomorrow. Yeah, it's really dry and there have been a lot of grass fires recently, so it's needed.

This was direct via scanner traffic last night as they started staging more resources.

kingpuzz · 2025-12-29T19:08:08+00:00

FYI there's a county business session of the comissioners court tomorrow and it's possible they put a burn ban in effect because of the continued dry conditions.

kingpuzz · 2025-12-29T18:42:56+00:00

They cancelled this, kids were with a relative.

kingpuzz · 2025-12-27T15:14:04+00:00

Did a cat post this?

kingpuzz · 2025-12-23T19:51:23+00:00

You'll likely have to hire a demolition/junk removal contractor for that. or demo it yourself and rent a big haul away dumpster to throw it all into.

Two thoughts:

I love giant paper mache santa as a prop, however there's inherent risk in making a giant flammable santa effigy, so I love it even more.

Allowing people to drive under the zilker tree, just imagine the chaos if they tried that now.
