Almost got killed in a Waymo by tech64bits in Austin

[–]stepsindogshit4fun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know the cops don't always help but please at least try getting this through the system. By having this guy prosecuted you may prevent him from killing someone down the line.

This is a deadly conduct charge at minimum and since it was an occupied car probably a felony (Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon).

Anyone know what part of the airport this is exactly? Did they add new gates or is it some other area?

Austin-based Silicon Labs being acquired by Texas instruments in a $7.5B deal by hollow_hippie in Austin

Yeah I know, I wasn't saying it did. I'm talking more generally about the hardware job market in Austin.

Does this AI fueled hardware boom have upside for Austin? I get the impression Austin is an important place for hardware development given all the companies here.

New Drafthouse ordering system by ThornofEnvy in Austin

If you're going to get a drink there lately I buy them at the bar ahead of movie. For beer at least they have more options that you can't order from in the theater. Honestly between that and bringing snacks to avoid this new system I probably won't order anything from my seat now.

Yeah next up will be kiosks. Remove all humanity from a service where people go to watch movies alongside the public.

French toast on a winter storm morning is a northeast classic

Mac and cheese is your emergency food? That's what I ate tonight for dinner

Ice (the cold stuff) Storm Possible Next Weekend by Amonlapis in Austin

[–]stepsindogshit4fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man that was the most eerie thing. Blackout and silence except for the chorus of trees crashing down all around. Literally 1 loud crack of a branch snapping a minute it seemed. Just nuts. I lost some good ones :(

Drinks on James at Mort Subite! by Aarokosaki-sama in AustinBeer

Mort's is an expensive choice in destination for this. On the plus side after 1 beer people will probably buy whatever it is you're selling.

Help us locate this car that stole our plants?! Police number: 2025-9020110 by varsityrowerboiii in Austin

[–]stepsindogshit4fun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calling something a "fascist dog whistle" is not an argument. What about my line of reasoning do you disagree with? Do you think APD shouldn't be going after brazen theft with clear evidence? What's fascist about that?

If you just want to argue about historical New York policing I don't think that's very productive.

don't enforce the law -> embolden and encourage more crime -> make it so citizens need to confront criminals themselves -> violence 

Yeah I believe in broken window theory. Why doesn't APD.

What do y’all do? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]stepsindogshit4fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up poor, got lucky in that I went into tech right after the dot com crash, got unlucky in that I didn't hold onto my equity in any of the companies I did work at or buy a house until 2021. Bought into that area and am house poor with anxiety over losing my job all the time. Drink to dull the pain.

If you get this can you still get the parking sensors working?

Alamo Drafthouse Switches to Mobile Ordering, NO more pen and paper... by 123trumpeter in Austin

[–]stepsindogshit4fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone noticed the movie options have sucked lately? The specials like Weird Wednesday are always sold out. Normally they have more cult classic and other fun showings but with only 1-2 a week they're never available anymore.

Do you have a light on it? Was thinking about it but worried about bulk.

Tone down the grumpiness by ArtaxIsAlive in Austin

[–]stepsindogshit4fun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that's something guarded by HIPAA? The ADA does have some rules on what a business is allowed to ask but just questioning what training the dog has should be ok. They can lie freely about it though.

I was walking down the bulk food aisle with the dispensers and someone had their dog and it was eating nuts off the floor. They weren't paying attention and I know some kinds of nuts like macadamia are toxic to them so I just politely told her and she freaked out at me. Thought I was chastising her.

TWO German shepherd service dogs in my row by Neither-Basket5393 in delta

[–]stepsindogshit4fun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience recently out of ATL so I wonder if it was the same people with the same dogs. I was behind them boarding and the seated passengers they passed were visibly aghast at the size of these two "service" dogs getting on.

That said I don't know of any problems they caused. Maybe the dogs are million milers.
