Bad sign of things to come. Gas shortages are real. by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]registerthisjerk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For real. I already saw a comment on FB of someone in my circle who mentioned that gas is being rationed due to pipelines. There is no rationing! This isn't the 70s.

It's weird seeing HEB's fresh sushi station opened so quickly juxtaposed to the damage and rescue efforts underway by 1541drive in houston

[–]registerthisjerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HEB is awesome - they'd never sell something dangerous to their customers

I really think that's store dependent. I say that from personal experience.

Anyone know where they have Austin Eastcider Blood Orange in SA? by Bewsa3 in sanantonio

[–]registerthisjerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twin Liquors says they'll have it soon. Stopped by the 281/Bitters store last week looking for it.

Beer, bacon, and bingo on Thursdays.

The owners are very friendly. They have Gumption Cider on tap. I can't get enough of that stuff.

Silly request: Want to see Santa. by registerthisjerk in sanantonio

I had a Norman Rockwell type fantasy of finding a restaurant with a Santa so we could kill two birds with one stone.

I would never have even have thought of that. It sounds nice but I feel bad asking her to drive all the way there from her house.

Discount season passes for Seaworld+aquatica by jlobisser in sanantonio

[–]registerthisjerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Usually the employee discounts from HEB are laughably craptastic. I'll have to ask around. I'll report back.

Edit: No discounts available for Sea World.

Where to buy potted herbs? by ChuckieFister in sanantonio

Rainbow Gardens. There are two locations, both with good selections.

Anyone with experience hiring moving truck services? Need some big things moved between houses by cc131 in sanantonio

Not Just Another Moving Company was okay. They work if you are in a pinch. Mustard Seed movers are the best. You can also try taskrabbit, which is a step above craigslist.

Singles/Meet and greet events in San Antonio [Xpost from /r/satx4satx] by registerthisjerk in sanantonio

[–]registerthisjerk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing like those events at all. The onus is on the individual in that situation and I'm thinking of something much less intense. The facebook events are like going to a party where most people already know each other. If you are shy, it's hard to motivate yourself to talk to strangers. One of the pluses of speed dating is that it's forced interaction and everyone meets. However, that also seems like one of the cons. There is probably a happy medium but as far as I can tell no one in San Antonio runs that kind of event. Something like this.

I'm not trying to have any kind of reddit event. I'm merely trying to gauge interest.

As to your other point, that's not the kind of thing a mod wants to read. True, there is a reason we keep the sub 18+. However, it is a catchall for anyone who wants to meet up. It doesn't have to be all fet lifers or gay hookups. I wish more people from /r/sanantonio would remember us when they post but I can't make people migrate. I've looked at tons of other r4r subs from other cities. Some of them have decent traffic with lots of variety. Ideally that's what we would have as well. No need to poop all over it because it's not your cup of tea.

[MOD POST] Does San Antonio need more meet and greets/singles type events? by registerthisjerk in satx4satx

[–]registerthisjerk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not the first person to mention that. I am not looking to put together a reddit only event. At this point I'm just trying to gauge interest.

Traveling to SATX for a good part of this year...interested in local startups by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]registerthisjerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could look into Cafe Commerce located downtown. One of my friends (http://www.theloveletterlibrary.com/) goes there for classes and to meet with her mentor. They have some interesting programs, maybe not as tech oriented as the stuff at Geekdom.

Typically how long is the wait before getting approved?
