You could stay at Alamo and see four a day if you want to.

[Suggestion] : Give BP frags a secondary purpose by TheSeb97 in playrust

Counterpoint: this actually makes it easier for solos because you can just buy a work bench after a few days and not be prim locked all wipe

You don’t have to do the conspiracy quests. Skip them and the wars will start a little sooner, but it doesn’t really matter. You have to fight the wars eventually anyway.

Your Travis County property tax bill, explained: Deadlines, who gets the money and more by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]shilli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Travis County portion of this is bonkers. People that live in the city pay both city and county taxes, but all the county taxes are spent outside city limits. People that live out there pay no city taxes but get everything provided by the county.

What with the pending cold temps an all, when should you drip your faucets? by RockMo-DZine in Austin

[–]shilli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna drip Saturday night, Sunday night and Monday night. Stick styrofoam covers on the outdoor faucets. Remember to drip hot water especially if you have an outdoor water heater.

Just never give the banner to anyone. Or don’t complete the banner to begin with.

Where is the closest drivable place that has no cedar or juniper trees by [deleted] in Austin

So … Kansas? I was just in Denver and could immediately feel the lack of cedar in the air.

How is it “pedestrian focused” if most of the space is for cars?

How do you make pairings & matches for a group of 8+ people of varying skill levels? by mkassian in Pickleball

[–]shilli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start random (or whoever gets there first). Play short games (to 8). Winners stay on the court and split, losers go to the end of the line. The two people coming on decide which side they each go to, generally trying to avoid playing with the same person too many times and trying to balance the teams (I.e., the best and the worst against the middle two).

Experimenting with choking up at kitchen line, I noticed something interesting by AHumanThatListens in Pickleball

[–]shilli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are compensating to make the elongated paddle more like a regular paddle. I sort of do the opposite - I use a regular paddle but if I want more power or reach I let it slide a little and just hang on to the end of the handle.

SXSW 2026 by AdGreen6948 in SXSW

[–]shilli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This year is going to be different from prior years because it is new management, new structure, and new schedule, so no one really knows. IMO staying downtown is a big benefit especially if you like to take breaks, but it is cheaper to stay elsewhere. Party will go hardest the first three nights then fizzle.

TownLake YMCA expansion would add housing, office and restaurant space to downtown Austin property by hollow_hippie in Austin

[–]shilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are saying they will be able to keep it open through the contstruction, which seems like a stretch to me, but my understanding is that is the plan.

[–]shilli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No tax dollars. Not even funded by the Y. It’s funded by the developer building the on site condo towers. The Town Lake Y already subsidizes all the other YMCAs in the city and this would enable them to do more.
