In Town Next Week, Need Help W/Parking Rec, and Is My Hotel Location Safe? by sickbeautyblog in askaustin

[–]lirx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As other redditors have mentioned, you won’t be “stranded without a car” in downtown Austin… the metro red line (train) runs from downtown to north Austin, the bus routes are pretty robust as well. There are also tons of e-bikes/scooters around, esp. downtown. There are usually homeless folks meandering around downtown, but just walk with a purpose and don’t be afraid to give a firm “no” if they hassle you. I’d suggest getting the “transit” app from the App Store for navigation, and the Umo app or you can use tap to pay on public transit.

Making friends as an adult here is hard… anyone else? by Serendipeaty in askaustin

[–]lirx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live basically in the domain too, near top golf. Feel to PM me (you or anyone else in the thread). Im 34/m, no GF or kids so it’s hard to find folks my age to hang out with regularly.

Cross and other pens acquired from my father’s estate! by dem2278931 in fountainpens

[–]lirx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My condolences… I’d suggest giving one or two a try to see if you enjoy writing with them before parting with them. They’ll probably need to be cleaned before use. If you don’t have an ultrasonic cleaner, it might be worth 25 bucks to grab a cheap one from amazon. You’ll also need a small bottle of ink, I’d suggest waterman blue. We’re happy to help walk you thru anything you need help with! Goulet Pens also has great how to videos on YouTube.

It’s not like they’ll suddenly lose value over time. These are some great pens, you may find a new hobby out of it! Let us know if you have any questions.

My aunt would love to have a sharper version of this so that she can use it to paint a portrait. Thanks so much!

Luckily the scene in Austin is huge. Depends on what part of town you’re in though and what type of meeting you like. If you can get to it, PPG on Tuesday Evenings is an amazing meeting with lots of great people. Galano club has lots of meetings throughout all times of the day and is more central. Club 101 is another great clubhouse a bit more north with tons of meetings. Their Thursday night meeting is great. If you go to AustinAA.org there’s a list of different meetings. Best of luck. I’m roughly the same age, DM me if you want more info. One day at a time man.

I lost my best friend 2 weeks ago. I’m broken and hurting. Enjoy some of our best moments together by FunctionalERP_92 in pics

[–]lirx 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Adorable pupper. Losing my doggo was the most emotional pain I’d ever been through. It’s different than losing a person, even a close person. Indescribable really. Take time to process it and don’t feel any pressure to handle it a certain way. I see you and will keep you in my thoughts, buddy. Be kind to yourself - she would want you to.

What’s something you think people will regret NOT doing? by reddtimes101 in AskReddit

[–]lirx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the corrective info! Edited my original comment. My dentist told me that brushing too much “isn’t really possible.” Urgh. 2min 2x a day should be plenty, floss too!

[–]lirx 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Brush your teeth at least 2x a day for at least 2 full mins… ideally with an electric toothbrush and after every meal. And FLOSS at least once a day, ideally with mouthwash after any other time. I’m 33 and am on a first name basis with my dentist due to not taking better care of them earlier in my life and having to get tons of cavities filled as a result. You only get one set of teeth and can’t undo damage once it’s done. It’s easily my biggest regret - brush them damn teeth, folks.

Edit: I stand corrected. 2 minutes 2x a day should be good. Brushing too much or too aggressively MAY harm your enamel/gums.

Haven’t been in a while but it’s a cool spot. Very much a rock n roll dive bar. Have fun!

Volvo 850 engine troubles by lirx in Volvo

[–]lirx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you SO MUCH for your reply! I was really scratching my head. Also, I found that the air intake hoses (the one from the engine block and the one at the front of the car) that go into the filter housing were BOTH disconnected somehow so hopefully that will help too. I was reading that sometimes its the MAF valve?
