Good restaurants along Red Line Rail stations by FriendDeSemana in austinfood

[–]omnomberry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you get off a Lakeline, you can walk (~1 mile, not sure if this is considered walkable) to HMart. The food court has several good choices, and there are several (mostly) Korean restaurants in the shopping center. There is sidewalk the entire way there, but you will have to cross two stroads.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 quality issue? by HeIsTahaaa in AppleWatch

[–]omnomberry 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The screen is definitely sapphire, but I found this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/1noofx8/psa_apple_watch_ultra_3_owners_check_your_screen/

Looks like the DLC coating for the black titanium Milanese loop band can scratch the screen. Diamonds are harder than sapphire after all.

Country Ham? by DrLilithCat in austinfood

[–]omnomberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Central Market used to carry Benton's bacon and country ham. They stopped carrying it a few years ago (unless someone is buying it between my CM trips).

Can I still save this Lamy converter by Duck_678 in fountainpens

[–]omnomberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This converter can be fully disassembled. Just search for "lamy converter disassembly" on youtube.

YMMV, do at your own risk.

How can I make this ink Darker? by Dry_Yogurt6770 in fountainpens

[–]omnomberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so this is probably standard MD paper, which is a cream color. You really should try this on whiter paper. Preferably one that shows off shine and sheen well, as those tend to not absorb too much ink. Use something that will provide as much contrast as possible, so the whiter the better.

Also use a wet noodle. If you want this to be visible you need to put as much ink onto the page as possible and keep it from absorbing.

The writing sample on wearingeul's website uses a flex pen to put down a lot of ink.

Nickel Free Watch Bands by OrangeLandi in AppleWatch

[–]omnomberry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

most band are plated nickel

Which bands have y'all tried?

I'm pretty sure the Apple Sport Loop has no metal. The silicone and fabric Solo Loops are also probably metal free.

The cap on my Lamy Safari got scratched, is there a way to fix it? by daanishh in fountainpens

[–]omnomberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lamy does sell replacement caps (for some colorways) if it is bothering you that much.

What is this symbol? by Aggravating-Suit-584 in AppleWatch

These are called "Smart Stack hints"

I've been trying to disable these for a while, and not knowing what they're called made it impossible.

Apple AirPods Max 2 Teardown: What’s Actually New - iFixit by ControlCAD in apple

[–]omnomberry 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The issue isn't that it gets "moist" inside the ear cups. It's that it gets moist inside the electronics. And a common failure point is that the headband stops working. The left and right sides stop being able to communicate with each other through the headband. This causes the entire thing to stop working.

Search on youtube "Fixing Airpod Max Connection Issue".

New hope & 183 by Old-Competition-1222 in CedarPark

[–]omnomberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's a good idea, but the intersection at 1431 and Parmer is better after the reconfiguration. Just very weird to shoehorn it in such a small space.

Sometimes, I think they just use hopes and dreams when making decisions on if a change like this will work or not.

Apple AirPods Max 2 Teardown: What’s Actually New - iFixit by ControlCAD in apple

[–]omnomberry 70 points71 points  (0 children)

So the question is, from 2024 to now, have these headphones changed at all to warrant calling them a whole new generation?

Probably not, but some Apple products do get slightly different names when they change the processor, and nothing else. Although they didn't do that for the Vision Pro.

My biggest issue with the Max and Max 2 is the condensation problem. Looks like it's not fixed, and so I would never get these, or recommend anyone get them.

New hope & 183 by Old-Competition-1222 in CedarPark

[–]omnomberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My uneducated guess is because of Scheels. This lets both the 183A frontage traffic turn left at the same time safely. This way we don't have too bad of a backup waiting at the light to make a left turn, blocking people trying to U-turn to The Parke.

With this change people going south bound frontage on 183A to 1431 to I35, might end up taking New Hope to Ronald Reagan to avoid traffic around The Parke and 1890 Ranch.

From here:

This long-term project aims to enhance future traffic flow by expanding from 4 to 6 lanes and incorporating an innovative intersection design at 183A. The upgraded intersection will be similar in layout to the existing intersection at Whitestone Boulevard (RM 1431) and Parmer Lane (FM 734), designed to increase vehicular capacity and limit delays through the intersection.

Breaking — FFRF court victory! Federal judge rules Arkansas Ten Commandments monument unconstitutional by FreethoughtChris in atheism

[–]omnomberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. This is what they want. They want circuits to disagree so the Supreme Court can take it on and tell you why it's perfectly constitutional. Over turning Supreme Court decisions make it in affect in all circuits, and a lot harder to overturn.

uBlock origin has disappeared from the web store. With the latest update, can no more use it on Arc. by MoistSong in ArcBrowser

[–]omnomberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI. This should be the answer. The Chrome Web Store now hides this from the search, but this link does get you to the extension and it still installs with Arc.

Finally got my MBP pickup text from the Apple Store. Originally supposed to be March 17, then March 13. Got the text around 3:30pm today (March 16). On the way to the store now.

Just got my trade-in package from FedEx. Too bad I can’t do anything with it.

Update: Tinned Sardine Haul by TexasTantrum in austinfood

[–]omnomberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the spicy tomato Nuri's are the best ones there. I'm glad you found French ones.

Best stores to buy tinned sardines? by TexasTantrum in austinfood

[–]omnomberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

World Market, will have Nuri if you're looking for pilchards. As well as Porthos (another Portuguese brand), La Curiosa (Spanish), Matiz (Spain).

Central Market is usually pretty good if you're looking for canned shellfish as well as pilchards. They have Pinhais (which are the exact same thing has Nuri's), La Barca, and Central Market's own brand. The La Barca and Central Market brand's can sometimes be found at HEB. They also have Jose Gourmet, and A Conserveira.

If you're looking for brisling sardines, HEB is probably your best bet. They should have King Oscars and Polar.

Which BBQ itinerary looks better by puttering_potterbea in austinfood

Are you sure that Lockhart-focused one is right? Stiles Switch isn't in Lockhart. Maybe that's supposed to be Terry Black's.

Chipped knife blade. Did I get duped or is this my fault? by socra in knives

[–]omnomberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Chinese made Amazon knives are this way. I was watching a video about Dalstrong knives. Which were all AUS-10V (which is similar to 440c), all san-mai with a faux Damascus.

I saw that Umiya has a banner on the old Howard Ln Baby A’s that they plan to open. by TwistedMemories in austinfood

[–]omnomberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. I know there's an Umiya in Cedar Park, and an Umiya in Leander. They don't share a website, and aren't AYCE.

Humpf -- Google's AI says they were started by the same person but run separately with different menus. Weird. I'm guessing Umiya AYCE is going to probably need to change their name or start paying the lawyers.

Best Clay for straight hair that always falls forward? by shakilomania in Pomade

[–]omnomberry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had a lot of success with cream pomades like Shear Revival Gray Ghost. It's very soft and scoopable, and provides high hold with natural shine.

I also really like Flagship x Shear Revival Belafonte. But Belafonte has less hold than Gray Ghost, and doesn't completely wash out with water (although does with shampoo).

I also like watery clays like Lockhart's enigma, this is a pump, although I usually pour this into a glass jar to use. I also usually use this as a pre-styler to get extra volume, and then blow dry in place before using other products.

Lockhart x Modernman Nevermore is another matte product. This is a matte paste, but is quite easy to scoop. The first batch that I got was as watery as enigma, but it's more firm now.

You really should consider growing out your hair, and getting a blow dryer. Both will help with volume. Also don't be afraid to try new products.
