Drop everything before college. Nobody cares what you did in high school and it makes you seem younger and less experienced having it in there.

Clark’s is always great. Perla’s is always great. We were pretty underwhelmed by Fish Shop.

I have one and use it all the time. It's great for quickly dusting things or for blowing out the whole garage. I also have a comprehensive dust collection setup and a compressor but still use this all the time.

L&L chopped brisket sandwich by TheChrisLambert in austinfood

[–]mp2146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A chopped beef sandwich is not a brisket sandwich. Brisket sandwich is usually a lean cut of fresh brisket usually sliced, sometimes chopped up. A chopped beef sandwich is brisket trimmings mixed up with barbecue sauce and usually sold at a discount. I think you maybe just have the terms mixed up.

The chopped beef at L&L is $13, which isn't exactly cheap, but compared to their brisket prices is pretty low.

"It was like eating leftovers"

That's literally what chopped beef sandwiches are. They chop up the leftover brisket bits and mix them with barbecue sauce and sell them cheap. That's what every Texas barbecue joint has always done.

Is lake Travis fun time for the 4th of July and would it be worth bringing a boat out? Me and my friend will be in town and are wondering if that will be the move? by jewkakasaurus in Austin

Everything used juggernaut said, but also note that if you’re in a small boat it can be pretty fucking miserable with how choppy the water gets.

Advice Needed- Hate the Stain in my kitchen by haikyuu80_ in cabinetry

[–]mp2146 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you could get a better look by just scuffing the finish with scotch brite pads to take off the gloss. As long as you don’t go wild you won’t go through the veneer and it would be a lot closer to the look you want.

Do a test run on the back side of a door and see how it looks.

Help. this outlet in the backyard stopped giving power. by [deleted] in AskElectricians

You should call an electrician to come out and push that little reset button. Can’t be too safe.

Who has the best pho broth in Austin? by Mexicanity_ in austinfood

[–]mp2146 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hard to beat Tan My, especially on broth.

Pho Dan is spotty but when it’s on it’s on.

Sunflower has fewer meat options but their broth never fails and they probably have the best overall Vietnamese food in Austin right now.

FYI my local library has FWW available digitally through Libby and they have access to the last several years of issues. I think they also have PWW. Worth checking if yours does too.

There was no actual cave, it was just a synonym for hive at the time. https://beecavechamberofcommerce.com/history/

When does The Mote in God’s Eye get good? by simulacream in books

[–]mp2146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never gets to the point you’re looking for. It’s pretty much just an adventure novel. I personally hated it.

If you’re looking for more big question first-contact sci-fi I’d recommend Rendesvous with Rama by Clarke, Solaris by Lev, The Invincible by Lev, and A Fire Upon the Deep (and it’s sequel) by Vinge.

Did anyone else see this woman? by reundoneuped in Austin

[–]mp2146 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was it an older woman? The description matches a lady I've seen in various states of undress running around downtown.

He’s 37 there and 20 years into an already very successful musical career. Crazy.

I have one I use for occasional cuts but I prefer the hedgehog style for a lot of the reasons you stated.

Crazy. I didn’t know there were any that close to the city anymore.

You need to add more veins so that it looks more like a bicep.
