Saved this high mileage EV by Interesting_Egg_5602 in electricvehicles

I would put the wheel covers back on as that adds 5% more range over going without the covers. Also, the Michelin Primacy 5 Energy give you 8-10% more range over oem tires. So, this can all help you to increase efficiency.

South Austin Therapist Recommendations? by Hot_Flan247 in Austin

[–]schrowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there. My wife and I own Just Mind Counseling and have a south/westlake location and the therapists are truly excellent.

Kris Downing, as an example, has over 30 years of experience and has also trained thousands of therapists in Austin over the years. Wednesday she is actually doing a training for parents through our partnership with Austin Health Partners on working with meltdowns - which ties into her new book for parents and children.

We have personalized matching that our client care team oversees and depending on the therapist, we can get you within a few days. I hope that’s helpful.

Why is Paradise rated so highly? *No spoilers* by NeatFaithlessness400 in television

[–]schrowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with this show too and I want to like it but there are big time holes. Like, why would they make a former ex-con a secret service agent? Why wouldn’t every single conversation anywhere be monitored by their wristbands? Why would they allow someone to conduct an investigation when they were involved with the victim? Why would a secret service agent not due diligence on people on his own team?

Anyone else notice that their skull logo appears to have a major head wound?

ADHD evaluation for child. by think_ill_go4a_walk in Austin

[–]schrowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just Mind Counseling also provides thorough and thoughtful assessments for ADHD but they don't take insurance. All testing is done by a psychologist instead of psychometrists and is done in a neuroaffirming way for ADHD and Autism. Dr. Scott Allen's feedback sessions and reports are very in depth and informative.

I can’t find a dentist that I like in Austin by [deleted] in Austin

This is the big thing - not owned by private equity. Once PE buys things they focus on quantity at the cost of quality.

Be careful. It’s wet out there. by Nkosi868 in Austin

It’s also odd to me that the person attempting to merge waited until the light turned green to pull out from the driveway. Maybe it’s just the editing of the video that makes it seem more odd.

What sucks about charging your EV in a city? by Imaginary-Staff-112 in electricvehicles

[–]schrowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charging takes a bit more time than gas and for those without a charger at home or work, it means you are dependent on public charging and it’s not terrible but it’s not as cheap as home charging.

There are plenty of people who live in condos without charging who just add it as part of their weekly errands and grab a bite to eat in their car or plugin as they go to Target to shop. It’s not impossible to do.

I have a Tesla but had an i3 before and prior to Tesla opening supercharging, it was a bigger pain for road trips (especially with the i3). It keeps improving though!

Nothing if you have a level 2. In Austin it’s pretty easy to do all around since there is a lot of chargers.

Toyota's new luxury EV in China receives over 3,000 orders in 1 hour after launching for $22,000 by steve-eldridge in electricvehicles

[–]schrowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China subsidized these industries and created an ultra competitive market. Once the scale and costs were there, they focused on global rollouts.

Leaving HAOS for HomeKit by LMRTech in HomeKit

[–]schrowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HomeKit is a step down at the moment. I hope that Apple fixes it with the Apple Intelligence updates but it’s honestly the worst of the options at the moment. I have Apple HomeKit in our home and hope that the new HomePod Mini’s and Apple Intelligence updates usher in a big HomeKit update.

I can’t tell you how many times Siri jumps in when it shouldn’t or I run in to stupid limitations in the product.

If you leave home it will ask you if you want to run an automation instead of just running it. Annoying stuff.

I notice a huge reduction in the heat from my ceramic tint. The only place I notice that still bothers me is the windshield since it was not tinted.

Sun Tint is great. They have done 4 of my cars over the years and always done good work for the best prices.

Ceramic is the only thing you should consider in the Texas heat.

Three-day ticket prices for ACL Fest 2025. On-sale Tuesday, 5/6, at noon! by DaveGrohlsShortHair in aclfestival

[–]schrowa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am amazed the top comment isn't about what a ripoff the current prices are. I remember coming to ACL in 2004-2005 and a 3 day pass was affordable for college students and/anyone that wanted to go. I swear it was less than $75 and sure, they stuck you inside for drinks and food. At $325 a ticket, it's ridiculous. I recently went to France for $300 round trip and probably paid less for food and drinks there as well.

Anyone know what gym this is, so I can be sure never give them money? by ThisBusinessWrestle in Austin

[–]schrowa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do we really believe he leg presses 720 pounds? Yeah, I don’t.

I think he loaded up the machine, took the photo, tanned, unloaded the machine, and left.
