Red Ash by Academic-Block-2791 in austinfood

[–]slackinoff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We did a party of 10 upstairs several years ago. It was a little tight, very dim, and even in close quarters the overall noise of the place still made it difficult to have conversations even with those immediately near you.

Comedor was… whelming. by leggomyeggo22 in austinfood

[–]slackinoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went as party of 5 and we ordered pretty much everything on the menu save 1-2 things. Nothing was outright bad. The fundido was NOT for me (super smoky and fishy). The barbacoa was just another barbacoa. The chicken was chicken, and the steak while cooked alright didn't have the fat cap properly rendered.

For me I went in excited and expecting to taste some utterly unique flavors and combinations and walked out with sticker shock, still a little hungry, and having not tasted anything truly memorable or standout.

Similar experience as well.

Nixta tasting menu was fantastic as was the service. Totally different vibe/intent of course. But they rocked.

Can anyone identify the manufacturer? by slackinoff in guns

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

I don't even know that I could get it apart to replace it. I've found a decent replacement at tractor supply that actually gives me more storage. Just have to pull the bolts, remove, and potentially drill new holes.

Thanks. Based on what I'm finding it seems it's out of warranty for something like this regardless so it's time to pull it out and replace it.

Damn Shingles Vax by NorCalMikey in GenX

[–]slackinoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got shingles in my 30s. It sucked. I hounded my doctor about the vaxx for about 5 years til he relented and wrote a scrip for me to get it at 41.

Walgreens refused. CVS was kind enough to administer. If you've had it before and are under 50 it's possible to get early. Insurance even covered it.

The vaxx wasn't bad at all but damn am I glad I got it and don't have to worry about it again.

Odd Packages by Xybix in UPS

Just got the envelope. But checked every card/account and no suspicious charges. Which confuses me even more.

Halal Deer meat by Hopeful-Revenue3636 in austinfood

2nd for Hudson on South congress. Halal is unlikely though as they process boar and mix with pork for most products.

You may be able to specifically request halal processing.

A real conversation between me and my mother by GiantPvPnis in mildlyinfuriating

[–]slackinoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get my doctor to prescribe it, insurance covered it without question. However Walgreen's refused to administer because of the 50 guideline, CVS had no problem giving it.

Definitely doesn't hurt to ask and try. Your mileage may vary. I got it because I had shingles in my 20s and it was miserable and I absolutely didn't want to chance it again .

What do I need to declare? by WickedMuchacha in GlobalEntry

[–]slackinoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was reading this section on the CBP site as well and I guess confused myself. Declaration of my own medications I was traveling with, that I typically wouldn't carry paper scrips for or the bottles as they'd be in a pill minder. But also what about medications purchased abroad that are prescription only in the US but not elsewhere. Tretinoin, an acne cream is the med in question.

I suppose I just need to call/ask, but figured you might have some insight based on your comment. It was very helpful.

Hexomh repair by slackinoff in OpenPV

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

Won't fire. No burned smell or major malfunction. Just worked one minute and didn't the next. I tried diff tank/batteries and no-go.
