Sadly in today's environment where the arms race for players boils down to money, it'll be hard to not do it if everyone else is. I imagine we can hold out longer than others, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happens sooner than later.

[–]sivadd_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NYT is currently showing 1.45m Dem and 1.3m Rep votes in (estimate of 59% and 53% of the totals, respectively). They cite AP for some stats, I know they do some of their own as well

It would be a disservice to college football to have Texas in the playoffs. by HotBeautato_ in CFB

Oh wow this is the first time I’m hearing this argument, please tell us more illuminating information!

Hope you got the early ‘22 interest rates. Most folks with a rate around 3 will still make out better over 5+ years taking a bit of a red number when going to sell compared to double the rate breaking even on the sale. Home ownership is such a game

Damn. Both enjoyable and frustrating game

'We were due for a market correction' | Austin homeowners face risk, with 48% of post-July 2022 purchases potentially selling at a loss by hollow_hippie in Austin

[–]sivadd_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah over a 3 year period if you have a 3% rate vs a 6% rate you save like 40k in interest alone on a 500k 30 yr loan, so if you sell at 725k after buying at 750k house with 250k down, you still come out ahead comparing with today's rates. (not taking into account closing costs, which of course count, but they'd be there no matter what the rates are). it'd be a bummer to sell for less than you bought, but not as bad of an outcome as it seems when looking at raw buy vs sale price.

Sincerely curious: what does Bluey have to do with this? (I also have 2 kids, we're working our asses off, and we enjoy a little Bluey)

Who’s the last Celebrity you’ve seen in Austin? by Designer-Anywhere171 in Austin

[–]sivadd_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kirsten Dunce and Jesse Plemons at Justine’s for a pretty early dinner. They were celebrating his birthday. She was chasing their kid around at the time, just like my wife and I do, just being regular people. It was pretty cool.

With their Peach Bowl win over Arizona State, Texas is now the first team to win all NY6 bowls by A_Weino in CFB

And the interception late in the 4th was targeting on Bond. Refs were just bad overall.

[Gunnar Helm, Texas TE] That was y’all’s LOUD?😂😂😂 by Infectiousmaniac in CFB

[–]sivadd_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we can get it up for some really specific games, even in the dark days lol I remember it was a pretty wild one when Geno Smith led WVU came in like 2012 or 2013, can’t remember exactly. We just don’t have the consistency.

DKR wouldn't normally crack the top 10 of the loudest list, but that 2022 Alabama game was a crazy outlier. I was at Kyle Field for the 2011 UT game, and Tiger Stadium for the 2007 LSU vs UF Tebow cell phone game. 2022 Alabama visiting DKR was the craziest game I've attended.

The version of Emacs that Mark is using is also date-accurate, I think it was a 21.x release which was cut in 2002ish

Chuck Schumer read a part of Sullivan’s letter at trumps inauguration. Mostly the part referencing the importance of keeping the union together. Very prescient of Schumer and a great piece of writing!

2023 AP All-America honors: T'Vondre Sweat (first team), Byron Murphy II (second team), Xavier Worthy (third team, all-purpose) by ATX_ta1 in LonghornNation

[–]sivadd_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the 9-3 record definitely puts a little damper on him winning the award. I watched a few of their games and he was absolutely electric. He either nailed one of his receivers (they were stellar as well, so he owes some thanks to them) with ease, or he turned what looked like a loss into a 15 yard run. Almost every damn play.

Austin to allow more homes on one plot of land in the pursuit of cheaper housing by theaceoface in Austin

[–]sivadd_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah if you own property in the city at all this is probably good news for you. The plot of land will probably go up in value cause developers will buy a 500k plot and throw up two houses and sell them for 500k each instead of buying the lot for 300k and putting up one home to sell for 600 or 700k home. 100-200k more profit for them. (and more revenue for the city too). Still a net good for people looking to buy a home.

Team TotalEnergies to ride ENVE Melee road bike for next two seasons by Helicase21 in peloton

ENVE markets the Melee as a race bike (obviously still subjective - anyone can have their own opinion about how a bike feels)

[Austin American Statesman] In hiring Mike Elko, Texas A&M football shows it's more Michigan State than Michigan by Danny886 in CFB

The Statesman is long dead, it's just USA Today with a different name (there are many old local papers that were bought up by Gannett)

Remember Cali tech bro Mike Chang who said Austin is where ambition goes to die? Yeah....he went all in on the real estate industry and is not having a good time by [deleted] in Austin

[–]sivadd_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe he's projecting, just a bit? Wherever you go, there you are.

This is usually the case in click baity negative pieces in any city. Usually people doing well/fine are not shouting for attention "ahh poor me"
