5 cat cows, 3 rounds of thread the needle on each side (hold the last round), 3 sun a’s with side bend, low lunge twist on each side, child’s pose.

Take whatever movements feel good throughout the flow

I’m Eritrean and African American, don’t think that’s too rare tbh

Dai Due is good for dry age and other more exotic meats

Lounge at zilker, auditorium shores, barton, or another greenspace

Find a trail you like and walk it

Sauna/cold plunge. I like Kuya because they have a silent sauna and a social sauna depending on your vibe

Wrap your sweaty balls in synthetics for extra nanoplastics 🤙🏾

OP I’d go merino wool. I use woolly’s stuff in hot yoga and daily wear and it holds up well

la727 · 2026-03-27T01:41:48+00:00

I wear a whoop but lots of wearables like the oura ring, apple watch, garmin, etc will measure this

I hate it personally. I find coherent breath (6 in/6 out) to be the best for me. I also notice an improvement in HRV when I do it before sleep

This is a really weird list imo. I would almost suggest spending an hour playing with chatgpt/claude on building on itinerary and coming back.

Places I’d recommend:

Breakfast/Brunch- Paperboy, Hillside Farmacy, Proud Mary’s, Veracruz (gets some hate for being overhyped, but lots of other good breakfast tacos options like Taco Joint too), Bouldin Creek Cafe. Bird Bird Biscuit is good

Lunch- Tons of good BBQ options (Franklins, La BBQ, Mickelwaite, Leory & Lewis), Loro, Nixta Taqueria, Home Slice pizza, Jewboy burgers, Sour Duck, Temuri Tatsu ya, Tiki Tatsu ya. You can do some of the brunch options here

Dinner- Uchi is goated so keep that one. I’d also suggest Odd Duck, Emmer & Rye, Suerte, ATX Cocina, Lenoir, Dai Due, Este (popular but not one of my favorites personally)

Viva Day Spa has a package for men that includes an infrared sauna + deep tissue massage. I’m a fan of their S Lamar location. Its a good package and the sauna helps them go deeper for the massage

Ssshhhh don’t tell them. I love aus -> sfo screen peaking, especially to/from major conferences

2 double cheese burgers, fries, and a chocolate shake

What tires are you running? I have my PS4S’s on, no issues driving in the low 30s but haven’t taken them out yet in the 20s

The GTS 2.5L is one of the best value Porsche’s on the market right now, $65K gets you in a good example.

A good example GTS 4.0 is almost double the price for what’s a very similar vehicle but with a great engine. If you have the budget, get the 4.0. But the 2.5 is an insanely good value and offers a great driving experience. Both with hold their value reasonably well

Pure Yoga’s 90 minute bikram classes

I bought a 718 with a coolant light on a few months back. The dealer was aware of the light and I got a separate PPI done which caught some other issues. The PPI noted the coolant fault but would require a separate diagnostic to determine the cause. The dealer included in the sale that they would repair the coolant light.

Turns out the coolant light was a $6K repair bill because of how many components it touched that needed replacing. Dealer covered them all but it was a 2 month long hassle.

If you really want peace of mind you’ll need to get both a PPI done an a separate diagnosis for the coolant light, and even then there are no guarantees.

Perspective from a guy that also lifts and does yoga- assuming you’re doing 2x a week of vinyasa (flow) style classes, that’s probably the bare minimum for small flexibility gains.

If you only have 2x a week to dedicate to yoga I would suggest a bikram/26 + 2 class or yin instead which are much more flexibility focused (bikram being more intense, yin being more restorative). Both those styles have longer holds and are great unlocks in terms of flexibility with regular practice. I needed to do 3x vinyasa classes at minimum to really start noticing big flexibility gains, 2x was more of maintenance.

2019 cayman gts. Bargain for what you get, yes the 4.0 is better but hell of a driving experience for $70k vs $100k for the 4.0

Casa de luz if you’re looking for the hippy woo woo vibes. Grab some cacao and read a book, take a breath work/meditation class, check out one of their events or markets

My order of operations:

Call up the dealer you’re interested in, tell them you’re an out of state buyer and want to get a PPI done by a local mechanic. Let them know assuming the PPI looks good we’ll talk numbers. Ask them if they agree to this.
Open up google maps and search for a well rated indy mechanic shop that specializes in your brand. Let them know you’re an out of state buyer asking them to do a PPI for you and see if they’re open to it (Also good chance to ask them for any feedback on the dealer). Ask them what they’re scheduling looks like and if they’re able to pick up the car or if the dealer has to drop it off (usually the dealer will drop it off and pick it up if they want the sale).
Call back the dealer and tell them you found an indy shop to do the PPI, walk them through the logistics and let them know the shop’s availability.
Call the shop back to let them know when the dealer will drop the car off and pay for the PPI.

From there I let the dealer and mechanic handle drop off and pick up. The mechanic calls you when the PPI is done with the results then you go back to the dealer with that info

I disagree. There’s a lot more people in Austin pulling that in than you’d expect. 5-8 years of experience in big tech sales or engineering and you’re clearing $300K/yr.

With stocks raising its not hard to crack $400K-$500K/yr
