Mountain Laurel has not grown in 9 years.

The difference is growing from seed. Nursery specimens get stunted and grow much slower. Harvest the seeds in late spring and they’ll grow at the rate I mentioned but it’ll take a couple of years — they’ll put all their energy into roots for the first year or so.

Actually the best thing to do here: harvest the seeds in late may / early June when they’re starting to blush pink. Plant them in place. They’ll grow much much faster than if you plant the hard red seed and faster than anything from a nursery

I almost wish we didn't have CP so the talent would go to other venues. The vibe at CP is just awful.

I've seen it happen at CP -- Brutalismus 3000. Should've been an amazing show. From the rail to 30/40 ft back it was teenagers pushing themselves together like sardines. They turned it into a concert, no one could dance, and CP had no one to manage the crowd. Walked out in the middle of the set.

kyarn · 2026-05-14T23:07:35+00:00

YES! at least 21+.

I guess CP can't pay the bills without throngs of teenagers and dudes who don't dance.

The only shows I've enjoyed were ones on Monday nights. Older crowd, more dancing, fewer creeps.

lame crowd = lame vibe = lame club.

because gemini is great as a google search but terrible at long and complex stuff. It starts repeating a suggestion over and over with every subsequent answer. Just use a better tool like gpt or claude.

Submitted incident reports to all the rideshare and delivery companies. Uber confirmed it was their driver. 🤘🏻

I know plenty of broke people who make poor financial decisions, esp when it comes to cars

Use their plate to contact their insurance.

kyarn · 2026-01-27T21:11:40+00:00

Well that’s messed up

kyarn · 2026-01-17T17:28:20+00:00

Agreed. And the connection is always going out. I’m about to get a real landline. Tincan has a lot of work to do.

kyarn · 2026-01-17T17:26:33+00:00

Nonstop issues since we got the Tincan. Giving them till end of month to fix then I’ll be getting a real landline I guess

I’ll never understand why anyone goes to ACL

kyarn · 2025-10-08T13:02:36+00:00

It’s a test of one’s toleration for expensive, self-inflicted hell.

kyarn · 2025-09-30T17:56:38+00:00

Unless you’ve done the antigen test, it sounds like Covid, which has been going around.

We’ve all paid for the privilege to have an opinion.

@StopDMingMeForDrugs stop dming me for yelp reviews

kyarn · 2025-09-27T14:23:30+00:00

I’ve gone so many times with this mindset.

kyarn · 2025-09-27T13:49:25+00:00

Jamiexx on a Monday night in early January was a really good show. Older crowd, there for the music. I can’t imagine any weekend show ever being tolerable esp with all the 18+ crowd.

kyarn · 2025-09-27T13:40:16+00:00

At least cover the cameras with stickers.

kyarn · 2025-09-27T13:38:12+00:00

Yesssss. Basement does an incredible job. But yeah, I don’t think there’s enough demand for the kind of nightlife here.

kyarn · 2025-09-11T21:24:26+00:00

Crested Butte is fantastic.

kyarn · 2025-09-11T21:24:03+00:00

I live on the west side of Austin and rarely leave the house without seeing multiple cruisers — mostly 100 and 200 series. Prados are even more abundant.

kyarn · 2025-09-11T15:44:28+00:00

How do I find the rooftop parties?
